Church went quickly today and my lesson went well. It was about fasting. I found this very interesting study that was conducted in the 1930's on earthworms... I know... I like weird facts... and they took these earthworms and made some of them fast once a week and the ones who fasted, lived 19 generations longer than the ones who didn't. Okay, so they're worms and we're not, but occasional fasting detoxifies the body, makes our fat storage work out, and boosts our immune system. Then of course there's the spiritual benefits we experience as we humble ourselves and put temporal things aside to focus on the spiritual.
After church we had Stacy, Tammy, her son JJ, and Jas, Anne, and baby Maddi over for dinner. Then the boys played games while the girls visited and were entertained baby Maddi. After they left we went and picked up Rellie. As usual he had on his PJs with his iron man boots and favorite stocking cap. (see above pictures). Also got some cute pics of Maddi eating her peas. The girls an eatin' machine!
Jeremy called to say that Tucker's sick now. Yesterday it was Daisha. Families share more than love-- they share the germs! Joy! I'm not working tomorrow and don't have bball practice, so it'll be nice to spend some time with Rellie and to visit some people. Speaking of Rellie, he's finally got papa to sleep, so I better put papa to bed and finish watching "Up" with Rellie. At least papa made it to midnight. Maybe we can all actually sleep in till 7am tomorrow! Yeah!
Well I became a statistic this summer. Eating out too much has made me gain back some weight. The husband has spoiled me way too much and we've been eating out too much. I have done some things well this summer though. I have reconnected with cousins and other family members, spent time with friends, and made some trips that were enjoyable and relaxing. I have taken the time to smell the roses and see the sunrises. Now if I can just cut back on the sweets during all this happiness! :D
