The next time you have a thought...let it go.

Dropped the kids off with my Mom yesterday and then my older sisiter and I spent the rest of the day at the hospital visiting my Dad. He's doing better - they moved him out of ICU and he seems to be stable. He wasn't lucid for a large part of our visit but he knew we were there and I was able to hold a conversation with him in the beginning. I hadn't really anticipated what it would be like to see him. I don't know what I expected but it was a little tough.  We were there all day. I hadn't really anticipated that either - I guess I didn't really anticipate or plan anything. We were just on autopilot...


Since we got back late we just stayed with my Mom. I couldn't wake the girls up just to load them up and take them home - it just wasn't worth it. And since we carpooled my sis had to stay too. But it was a nice way to unwind from the stress of the day - we stayed up all night eating carmel popcorn and watching some of my favorite comedians. It turned into a mini slumber party.  I  laughed so hard, even though I have seen those routines over and over... I can practically recite Ron White from memory, although some of it I probably couldn't say out loud...it's still funny stuff. 

 So of course, I barely made it to church today. And since I hadn't packed clothes I didn't have anything to wear to church so I had to borrow from my Mom. So I went to church dressed as a 55 year old today - complete with gold shoes. It was comical. But I was there and was able to praise God for all that I have in my life and that is so much more importatnt than what I wore. Although, I didn't hang around and visit with anyone afterwards - I shot straight for the door and hoped no one noticed I was wearing pants with an elastic band. YES - an elastic band.


After church it was a quick lunch and naps for me and the girls and I haven't done much of anything since. I keep telling myself that I need to do some strength training today - I'm just gonna have to suck it up and plunge back into it...but I cannot find the motivation. All I want to do is fix a nice big meal for my family and get caught up on laundry.  I just don't have the motivation at the moment to workout and I'm not sure where to find some...this is when having a nazi workout partner, any workout partner, would be nice.  I need somone to give me a little kick in the rear to get me going again...
