Brooke has gotten most of her things unpacked and put away. We are still finding new homes for things that maybe I should have throw away. I hope by the end of next week we have everything in its place. I guess, If I focussed on just that I could do it this weekend... BUT.... I still beleive in doing some of the things I WANT on my off time.
Pat has gotten the yard back in shape and has kept the house from being a disaster while Brooke is getting settled in, lol. The boys are gone to their Mom's and Chris has worked nights mostly. He was Off a day and night so he and Brooke hung out then.
Friday, I checked on Blake to see if he got off to football camp at Mississippi State. I was shocked to find out he did not go, that he had been cut from the team because he did not communicate with his coaches that he was gonna be in Bama in June andwould be back in July to go to camp and do remedial training. I thought he could do that as he assured me he could and I knew that Kyle had done that last year. Squeekie apparently called and talked to the coach and I guess thats the way it is and not a thing we can do. Oh I am sure we could fight it and go before some board and get it changed...but I suspect it would be not in his best interest to do that. I am just totally disgusted with Mississippi and the schools as well. I know if I was retired right now I woukld be loading some kids up to get them started in school in Bama.
On Saturday Brooke and I went shopping for her some school uniforms and had good luck. WE just kinda hung out together while I ran various errands I had been wanting to run. We also picked up Tanner to come visit the afternoon.
I have decided to count calories for awhile... it has been like prob 30 years since I even thought about calories. I guess when I stopped by Tracy's to drop of Tyler when we got back from Bama and I could tell she had lost weight and what she had been doing I decided OK Sandra the Adkins diet has not been getting it... or you have not been getting it and its time to do something different. I have been trying to educate myself this week on what is good and bad and portions of food. I was happy when I weighed on Wednesday and I had not gained while on vacation. I have started by quitting diet cokes and drinking water. I am very surprised that this has gone very well. I have a diet drink at lunch in a can. Thats it. I keep water in my mug as much as I want . I drink tea with splenda or a diet drink at supper in a glass. I have been adddicted to having a mug for 35 years lol but now I can only have water in my mug. THis has been painless and I am so shocked... I have had headaches but I think that is parially die to work and the neck strain. I have a good feeling about this ... so maybe it will now be as easy as quitting smoking was. Hate to bore ya ... but heck this is a major thing to me, lol.
