Marvelous Monday

Monday, July 25, 2011

Went to bed early to get some rest and woke up at 1 until 3. Hate nights like that. Oh well. Off to start a great week!

Air conditioning repair people due today.

Had a good time with Mom. She admitted she was having a pity party for herself. Sat and talked for awhile and got her to go to Bob Evans and get something to eat...and afterwards she was bouncing back. Know she needs that once in awhile.

Well new air conditioner isn't working. Will be here to work on it tomorrow. Headed over to Mom's. She's on a downer right now. Thought maybe I'll go over and see if I can listen and find out what is going on with her. Think she's stewing and got herself all worked up. Hard to keep her up. A couple of weeks ago she was so good. Other people around her having surgeries and don't know if she's jealous she doesn't have a crisis or not or what is going on. Praying I listen and don't lecture :) She has so much to be thankful for...few worries. May I learn from her to lean on HIM and not dwell on the negative. I know I can get that way on here just venting my frustrations and it seems like I dwell on the negative when I have so much to be thankful for.

My kids are together at daughter's in Florida. Hear they are having fun. That warms the mother's heart. We are dog sitting. They are getting me out and walking them several times a day. They sure have energy to burn. Wish I could borrow some of it.!

I work with elderly all the time and when I visit my elderly relatives I feel like lecturing them too. If I give in to the lecture it never gets very far so I say things like- Wow, I'm so proud of you that you're doing this or that. "We" are all so lucky you can still do it, we should give thanks for "our" blessings. My relatives are not religious ppl but they get the message. Hope the AC starts working for you.

So sorry about your new air conditioner. There isn't any to be bought in our town or any of the towns near to us. My best friend went to get one yesterday and they told her to come back on Friday. Sears was to get a shipment in then. Hope your mom is doing ok...maybe she just wants you to stop by and listen to her "problems." You do a great job with her. Just continue to love her as you do!!

Patience is difficult to have at times. I'm sure you'll do ok. So much for new ac not working. That will really take some patience if your weather is like ours. Report Inappropriate Comment

Had a good day at work. Had a surprise visit from former co-worker. Brightened my day!

Enjoyed driving in the parade...although waiting was hot.

Went to dinner with our group afterwards and was proud of myself. Ordered grilled chicken sandwich and only ate 1/2...but ate too many chips...but not all of them and still stayed within my daily calories. Awesome! I cut my sandwich in two and after eating the first half...didn't really feel hungry and was thinking of weighing in tomorrow...and handed it to the waiter when he came around to get it out of my sight. It worked! Awesome! I have come a long way. Finally starting to get serious about counting my food intake. I'm proud of myself!

They got the air running last evening. I slept so much better...just wanted to sleep longer :) The air rain all night and is still only 76 and hubby is worried about utility bill..but I am just thankful!

Walking Grandpups several times a day. They are always ready for a walk.

Busy weekend...as usual..plus with the air will feel like doing things around the house. Need to stock up at farmer's market. Went through last week's pretty quickly.

Off to make it a great day!
