My weight is being weird. I was 191.5 day before yesterday! :O 192.5 yesterday. Then 191.5 again this AM. Although, it said 191 flat at first! I can't remember before that but I will take it! I think 193. I am trying really hard to stay on my game, so hopefully I will see a loss this week. 191.5 is a new low for me. I hope that I see that or lower come Sunday, but it will just depend on what the weekend brings. You see, my hubby's Great Uncle died this AM, so we aren't sure what is going to happen. We were suppose to go to look at buying a new car (well, new for US), but so far the numbers have just not worked out and I am just unwilling to take a car just to take it. And I am also unwilling to be butthole deep in debt just for a car. Pain in the butt I am! And have you all looked at cars lately? The darn things are SO expensive even for used ones! It's just NUTS! But with Uncle passing away now, well, it's no longer at the top of our list. We weren't crazy close to him, but it's awful still. He was such a nice guy and funny. I feel for his wife. He was only 77 or 78. There was really no warning. So until we are sure of the plans for that, we're kinda putting everything on hold.
Everything else has been ok. I think we are all worn out and tired. It seems like last week was one thing after another and this week was about the same so now we are all kinda burned out. We've found another car (since I started this yesterday) that is in SC about 4hrs. away that we are waiting to hear about now. I kinda hope it works out and we can go for a couple of days to SC. We could get the car we want and maybe even hit Ikea. I know it would probably end up being somewhat boring for the kiddos, but it for sure would make us happy. And it would be nice to just get out of town for a couple of days. I'm thinking we might even be able to find something fun for the kiddos to do which would be awesome. :)
Ok, apparently the funeral is going to be on Monday in the early AM. Since it is out of town, our oldest will have to miss school that day. Nothing else we can do. Glad he gets 10 days he can miss before there are issues. This will be our first so far, thankfully. Another option is for all of us to go up Sunday and then just the hubby to go back on Monday. But I guess we will see how it all works out. I want to be a support not a hindrance. But I also don't want to seem like we don't care by not being there enough, ya know? His family is weird and gets upset over strange things, so I tend to overthink things. *sigh* I just can't believe he's gone. I hope his wife and kids are holding up OK. I am trying to decide if I should make something to take up there or not. It's sort of tradition (at least in the South) to take a casserole or some other foods to a funeral for the family. I just don't know what I would take. I guess I should call and ask.
This is part of the reason why we made the decision we made last night. We have pretty much decided to hire out to do the rest of the work we need done to the house other than some of the small projects like painting. And even some of those we may let him do. We are just stretched too thin right now with the hubby's school and work. It just seems like we can't do some of the fun things we want to do because we are so busy trying to do the work that needs to be finished. Plus, with two kiddos underfoot, doing the most simple of projects seems to take forever and a day. Especially with youngest. He is just a major handful and we never seem to get very far on things. Although, I've just been sitting here thinking about working on a few things today. LOL Maybe we will here in a bit.
Well, I am going to get off of here for now. I seem to ramble in most of my posts these days and not get far. LOL Hopefully all you ladies out there have a GREAT weekend! Hopefully ours will work out. :)
So sorry to hear about your husband's great uncle passing away. Prayers for the family :(
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about a death in the family :(
ReplyDeleteIt's always a tough time when those things come around. I hope you are handling it well and I hope everything will be alright for you and your family :)
Also, congratz on your weight loss. Eventhough it might be "wierd", just take it as it is .. and celebrate for the moment of your accomplishment :) 1.5 lbs before hitting 18x!!
sending hugs to you. it's been a tough time for you. hoping things all settle down and that you stay strong. a casserole is the best thing or a baked item (for the funeral thing). i'd choose a casserole that i didn't particularly like or one that your family likes and make 2 of them so when you get home, there's one in the freezer ready to go. when my sister in law passed away (she was only 32) everyone in the whole area including local restaurants sent food. the kitchen was filled to overflowing. my daughters and i came over and started freezing casseroles and packing up breads and desserts to freeze so they would have food to last a month or more without the dad having to cook. the kids were 4 and 8 years old.
ReplyDeleteanyways.. just be kind and patient to YOURSELF and get right back on track after this all is over. bye for now!
ps: i'd TAKE the 191.5 for sure! :)
