Well, it has been a better end of the week. I am praying for the pastor's wife Sarah from New Hartford Baptist church that she will be as comfortable as possible and feeling better. I am also praying her inducement goes well on Tuesday. Thursday morning(yesterday) I finally hit 20 pounds off since Jan 24th and taking March off. I have 25 to go to be at my lowest since giving birth which was 2006 (4 yrs after giving birth) and 70 to go for where doctor wants me and 100 for where I want to be but will see how I feel and look at 70. I pray for all who struggle with weight like me daily that God will give the strength and motivation you need to make healthy choices.

Tonight I have Marlene here at my house as Delphia has her classmates over for sleepover. I had to interrupt them for Don to help me. We heard a big boom and then power went out so the two girls were freaking out saying I am cold and can't see and ... so I said lets go bowling not thinking the garage door is electric. Tried to push it up but couldn't so then Don came and he showed me what to do when power is out for this garage door. So the girls and I went bowling. Marlene kicked our butts with the help of bumpers. She bowled a 129 and 150. I bowled 126 and can't remember all I know it was under 100. My bowling shoe had gum on bottom of it and they didn't have any other shoes for me as they were busy so I was off sink. Alex bowled over 100 both games too. So proud of them. I told them though I won first game cause I didn't use bumpers. :) We had fun. When we got home power was back on!!!

Prior to power going out we did go to Carlos O'kellys for dinner. The 3 of us ate for 10 dollars and then the bowling with shoes for 1 hour was 15 dollars and then we had snack on way home which was 5 dollars. So for a fun evening it was 10 dollars a person. Can't beat that. Thanks to coupon for dinner!!

Tomorrow morning plan on taking girls to IHOP for breakfast as I don't make breakfast. That is one thing I miss about Chris, he would make breakfast on Saturdays the past two years he was with us. Him and Alex would have a blast working together to make it. Hope to walk with Sarah early afternoon, then off to get ready for a surprise birthday party for a friend this weekend.

Hope you have a great weekend and God bless you.

God is in Control?

It seems like every week the bank that has the Ft Wayne house sends me something after getting a letter from lawyer to go through them not me but they don't listen. I just received something else last night and it cost me $1 to mail to lawyer. We tried to stay but now I have a new life. Frustratiing, that they don't read or listen. Many calls and letters have been done and the same things they keep sending. So thankful that lawyer is doing this free thus far since estate is closed.

Wow, who would have thought that within 7 days of eachother that both my cards from two different banks would have been breeched. Someone had dupilcated one and spent almost 900 dollars in New Jersey and now is under investigation, but I am expected to pay it until investigation is done and when done they will reimberse me but the problem is who has 900 to pay that they didn't spend since they don't have the $. Then the other one was not used but was in a group of numbers someone hacked into the banks database.

Not only is the enemy targeting me and finances but now he is using Alex to get me down. Alex was bullied on the bus on Monday. A girl spit on her and pulled her hair and called names. I know kids can be mean and call names but I draw the line when it comes to disrespect in physical form. Satan knows Alex is my love and means the world to me and knows she is all I have.

Well, on a positive note, I am getting a raise I was told, don't know exact week but it is in process. :) I thank God for my friend Michelle that she spent 45 minutes on phone with me tonight when I found out I have to either pay min payment and be charged interest or pay all and get reimbersed. She uplifted me and encouraged me.
