Wow so much to do! Spent 45 minutes at the bakery waiting for butter rolls, did a hip hop class, went to store to get tulips for centerpieces on dinner tables, came home set table with china and crystal for 16 people, made centerpieces and last but not least had neices and nephews over to decorate Easter eggs. I'm spent. Happy to sit for a bit. Everything does look beautiful. We have china settings from 3 generations of this family. I mix and match them and it makes for a beautiful and sentimental tables. I do love this day and all it represents. It's very special to me. Thanks spark friends for all your love and support. I hope you all have a beautiful Easter if this is a holiday you celebrate.

So psyched its Friday! Joe has worked so much this week. Omg so much. He is so awesome at his job. I'm so proud of him. That be said he has been working his tail off and he needs some family time. He went with Adam to listen to Jared play guitar last night. I'm glad they had that time together. Jared invited Adam to stay over last night and watch movies. That was a big deal to me. Being Adams best friend I wasn't sure if Jared would be comfortable having Adam over night now that he is out. It wasn't even a blip on the radar to Jared and that is such a relief. So life it good. We are going to Mikes church for Easter mass. He plays the flute in the church band and I think this could be very good for Adam. Mike says its very liberal Catholic church with alot of gay people. Adam seems very psyched about this. So I will pray that this is what Adam needs. Omg almost forgot to blog about me :). I went to my morning Zumba class and the instructor brought me up front during a song and had me instruct class! It was awesome! No warning. Which is perfect for me. If she had asked me before class I would have freaked out. Just going up was exactly what worked for me. I had a blast! Many people have said they can't wait until I get certified so they can take my classes! How encouraging. This community is so positive. I love being around positive people. It brings me to such a great place. I'm really looking forward to bringing this class to people. Food: A cup of plain greek yogurt with sliced bananas, a cup of cottage cheese over a salad, Activia yogurt with sliced apples, 2 90 calorie granola bars, 4 servings of Popchips :(, Spicy shrimp with brocolli, no rice, boneless ribs, egg drop soup and weight watchers cookies and cream bar. Good thing I got 2 Zumba classes in. Have an awesome Friday my friends!

I love Zumba, too. Did a class this morning. That is SO awesome that the teacher brought you forward. Sure hope you can get your certification and teach. That would be so great!! Glad things are continuing to look up for Adam. Hope Joe gets that family time he needs and you all deserve!! Take care, Marsha Report Inappropriate Comment

Finding a gay friendly church isn't an easy thing to do. If you do find one, embrace it! Report Inappropriate Comment

I had a decent day yesturday and the sun actually tried to come out for about an hour yesturday. We met my sister inlaw and her family for the movie Source Code last night. It was awesome! One of the most interesting movies ever. It really was great. My neice is home from college and it was good to see her. Came home and watched Modern Family and Cougar Town. Laughed our butts off and headed to bed. Hubby has been cranky latey. I've been trying to be patient with him but last night let him have it. I told him this could be his outlet for dealing with his feelings about Adam but this is not a healthy one. If he needs to exercise more or cry it out that would be great but being mean is not an option. He kinda got it and did apologize. I want to help him with this but this will be hard on him to let go. I had a healthy chop salad for lunch and some stir fry chicken teriakye for dinner. Yum. Activia yogurt for snack. I had a cookies and cream weight watchers bar for dessert. I may get in two Zumba classes today. We will see. I have alot to do for Easter today. Didn't get my class in yesturday so would really like to get them both in. Have a healthy day my friends.

I would call that far more than a decent day! Dealing with hubby's crankiness called for courage and diplomacy. Good for you! Sounds like you did some great, healthy eating and good plans for activity. Keep up the good work!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Hi Spark friends!!!

Well the weather is not great but I'm sick of being down because of it. I'm going to blog happy. I went to the bank today with my younger son this morning and helped him open up his first official savings account. He was very excited. He is so responsible about money and quite a saver. This quality will help him much in life. I'm missing my Zumba class tonight because we have free passes to the movie Source Code. I have alot to do today for Easter and am starting to feel overwhelmed. It will all happen but there is always one day that I feel this. Thanks for my friends who sent kind words on my status last night. Every once in a while I feel overwhelmed abou the past 4 months. Last night was one of them. I went to bed and cried in my husbands arms for quite a while and drifted off to sleep. I knew I'd feel better this morning and I did. It's like I'm just dealing with whats been in front of me and now that everything is calm and stable I can release all my feelings and I just let go. I'm good but glad I have an appt. with my therapist set up. So thanks again my Spark Peeps! You are the best!

It is too be expected, now that things are more together you will find that your emotions will be closer to the surface just go on being good and kind to yourself. Remember you are a wonderful person Report Inappropriate Comment

I know the whole "April showers" thing but come on! It' s so dreary and damp here. I left the gym today after a fun sweaty Zumba class and there is nothing worse than walking out to damp thick air. I didn't even want to open the windows for a breeze while I was driving home. Anyway, enough whining. We are meeting Joe and Mike for lunch at Chipolte. Yum. Chicken burrito bowl with salsa and lettuce. I am getting things ready for Easter. I have more to do today but I don't feel too overwhelmed yet. I'm sure I will. It's all good though. I had my fun hip hop class last night. There are a couple of new girls in the class that are really fun. So that helps. This class has alot of people who work together so aren't all that friendly. It's nice to have fun friendly girls in the class now. I had a yummy cobb salad for dinner. I had one of my yummy organic frozen meals for lunch. Chicken with quino and edemame with sundried tomatoes. Yum. Adam has a baseball practice tonight. Which will be great for him. He had a great meeting with his therapist yesturday. He came out with a huge smile. She said he has done everything he wanted to do when he first came to her :). And we have all made it through! That was so nice. I'm so proud of him. Life is good. We are going bowling with friends after lunch and Josh may have some friends over tonight to watch Scream :). So in our vaca mode and loving it! Hope everyone has a great Tuesday with much better weather than we are having in Upstate New York!
