Chaos…Total & Utter CHAOS
Wow…sorry it’s been SO long since I last posted. Did you think that I’d dropped off the planet?? Probably huh?
Nope…no such luck for you fine folks…I’m still here. hehe I took Dora (my oldest) on a trip to Dallas to see her Uncle. She didn’t remember him considering she hadn’t seen him in over a decade…but I felt it was time for her to get to know him. I hadn’t done this sooner because of legalities…but since Jason adopted her last year and she’s officially his …I felt it was OK to take her back to Texas and let her have a chance to get to know the one family member that I still care for. It was a very good trip and she feels like a whole person now. That was exactly what I was hoping for.
I did something really stupid before the trip though…I pulled my abdominal muscle attempting to clean out my car for the trip. Brilliant of me huh? Yeah…well it put me out of commision for a couple of days. I learned my lesson…believe me.
I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that in one month’s time I’ve lost 32lbs total!! Isn’t that just amazing? I’m still trying to wrap my brain around that…but it’s difficult. I’m able to where clothes that I haven’t worn in about 4 yrs now…weird. I feel MUCH better as well…I have energy, but I tire easily still. I have to remind myself that my body is still healing and that I can’t take on the world all in one day yet. LOL
My kiddos went back to school this last week…so that was a bit of stress. I’m glad that it’s over and now they are settling back into the “school routine”. I’ve also been helping Jason decorate his classroom and prepare for his first day of teaching which is this next Tuesday. He’s nervous and excited about it all. I must say though…his classroom does look pretty good.
So…how are all of you? Doing well I hope.

I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well and that the trip was a success. I think it’s so great that you did that for Dora.
Tell Jason good luck for me … I think he’s gonna be fabulous! … especially with all the great support he gets from you.
It’s good to hear from you Maria. I was starting to worry about little. Sorry to hear about the abdominal muscle pull. Those things happen. I did something stupid but was lucky that nothing bad come of it. You see, I was healing during Christmas and my computer was located in my extra bedroom which is where I spend most of my time and “It’s a Wonderful Life” came on TV so I went and got my little 13″ television and carried it into the computer room. I was really careful but honestly, looking back, I shouldn’t have taken that chance. But I *REALLY* wanted to watch it and I *REALLY* wanted to be online too. That was back when I was having my little internet romance with someone. Boy that seems like ages ago. But anyway, I’m glad to hear your doing ok and you’ve survived back to school.
Thats awesome you have lost that much weight! One of my friends says a lady in her department that had that surgery was dissapointed to “only” lose 30 pounds, becuase some of her friends have lost more, but 30 pounds is a lot of weight to lose, so congrats!
Congratulations on the weight loss
Congrats on the weight loss–that’s wonderful!
