The baby slept all through the night last night! Rello slept in till 8am and so did I. We were all so tired from yesterday that I guess we all slept hard! We kept it simple for breakfast. I had Special K Low-fat Granola (230). Good thing because other than a banana I didn't get much fiber today. We were going to take the kids to the Fiddler's Festival but found out the carnival/kid part doesn't start till tomorrow and we already have plans for tomorrow. Greg has admin. meetings/training all day and Mandy I have to get things packed up here tomorrow.
We did take the kids to McDonalds though since we had to cancel the other plans. And we took them to the park. This guy was pushing his kid in the swing and it was one of those America's Funniest Home Video moments when he pushes and the kid just shoots right out of the swing. In other words.... funny to see but the little kid who went flying didn't see it that way. The mom was not happy with the day either. Then the husband started getting sick from pushing the kids on that thing that everyone sits on and you push it so it spins in circles. Thought he was going to hurl. Then we went to the dollar store and and Daisha bought her first ever whoopie cushion (which caused tremendous giggling in the car all the way home). And papa kept blowing it back up. Great.
The conversation of our 4 backseat passengers all under the age of 6 was hysterical. Daisha, the oldest says to her brothers (as she is buckling in the 4 and 3 year old). "You can buckle yourselves in our car... it redicalus (spelled the way she said it) that you can't buckle yourself in now." And both boys smilled at each other. Then the two year old (Rello) says "Daisha's crazy!". Then they all burst into giggles followed by "your mom's crazy!" Rello loves his cousins (especially Daisha who mothers him) and he had a melt down when we had to return them to their home.
We also found a place to rent today. It's out in the country and has a great yard for the grandkids. Even comes with a couple of cows but we don't have to feed them. The owners do that. It's smaller than the house we're in now, but the yard makes up for that. It also has a storage room that we can put our extra furniture in and a garage so that makes a big difference too. Plus the couple we're renting from are nice people. I know her from church.
It was one of those days where you feel like you never sat down much, but you really didn't accomplish much either. I will be staying home and cleaning and packing tomorrow... hmmmmm... there's something new. At least we had fun with the grandkids though. That's the important stuff anyway.
My eating today was not healthy. But... on a big positive note... the husband bought a new pair of pants today to celebrate losing weight. He's actually lost 10 pounds since I started this. He went down a pant size already. It's a little tight but he says 5 more pounds and it'll be perfect. And I can tell he's serious. I think now that he sees that when you eat out, you just have to sacrafice calories elsewhere and/or just make better choices about your menu items... you can still lose weight.
So here's my crazy food intake for the day with apologies for being a bad example. I'll do a better job tomorrow. Promise.
