Failure again!

Well I tried again to loose some weight now that my hubby is not here to have all his goodies in the house. I know that Weight Watches works so I thought I would go on the program myself. I did great for about a week and a half. Then I went back to large servings. That is my real problem, I just eat to much. I love all foods and just don't know how to stop. Not going to the WW meetings might be the mistake because I don't have to show any progress to anyone. I am thinking of joining a group to take care of that problem. Wish me luck.
I still don't know if this blog is read by anyone but I still enjoy getting some of this stuff off my mind. I don't think I even remembered to post some of the first few that I did. LOL
I did have some good news this week from family that there might be a inheritance coming from my Godmother. She was a caring gentle woman and at a time in her life that she needed help my hubby and myself quit our job that was only a temporary one but close to where she lived. We helped her with getting her home ready for sale and the move back to Illinois where we were all born. She eventually moved on to Indiana to a retirement home in the care of one of my cousins. She past away this year and hopefully a gentle quiet passing. She had promised me a set of small chairs that her brother, my Uncle did the seats in needlepoint. I thought they were beautiful and would cherish them. So I hope that is the inheritance that will be coming somewhere down the line.

Rich's new job



Rich went on his way to work in Sealy Tx. just outside of Houston. He is working on some kind of vehicles that are to be sent to our armed forces. In checking almost every nut, bolt, wire and fluid on these trucks. He finds it very interesting and gives him pride knowing that he has worked on vehicles our troops will be using to protect our country. When he comes back home I'm sure he will have all kind of stories to tell us.
I miss him dearly and look forward to him being here again.
We missed being together for his 70th Birthday and will have to celebrate later on.
This Sunday is Mother's Day and even though I'm not his mother but the mother of his children I will once again dearly miss his kidding and teasing and making my day.
