Getting closer:)

Hubby and I drove to the Tri Cities today to pick up my grand daughter Cadence. It is about 2 hours each way, I hate car  rides, but it was worth it to get this 12 year old going on 18. Notice the makeup??? My 25 year old daughter was appalled that her (Cadence) Mom let her wear makeup at 12. Isn't it funny how they "grow up" (Kayce)? She certainly wanted to wear makeup at 12 and probably did by sneaking it. Cadence favorite food in the whole world is Eggs Benedict at Shari's. Being the good grandparents  and having a coupon, we took her there. It was DISGUSTING!!! Sick, blach, barf! I had a club sandwich, I know...too much bread....but trust me, I didn't eat all the bread or the sandwich....did I say YUCK yet? And my husband wants to know how you can ruin pancakes? Pancakes???
I am still hanging in there on my weight, but I do feel kind of bad about not having Christmas cookies for my hubby and daughter. I still have 2 of my cookies left to eat, I'm sure at bed time my husband will wish I wouldn't have eaten them;) My ex Sailor daughter is still on good behavior. It has been about 5 days with no blow ups. No warm fuzzies, but no blow ups. That's progress!
I started PT for my back yesterday. He thinks it may be a random nerve acting up because the muscles were so tight in there. It felt good after I left and has been tolerable all day. I asked him if he would show my husband the spot and teach him how to work it out. He worked with hubby on his injury for about 6 months so they are buddies!
I told you about the separation package that my husband is getting? It got 500.00 sweeter today. His company actually hired a firm to help these guys get jobs. They are paid to help with resumes, interviews, networking, etc. HUGE benefit, but Marv also gets a 500.00 American Express card to use for items he would need for his job search. There's a website that vendors offer good deals. Pretty cool benefit. Since they take his company computer back, now he doesn't have to budget one in. Now if they would just sell us his company van really cheap:)
It was a beautiful sunny day today, no snow, and it makes me happy! A perfect day for a long drive!
Thank you for listening to my ramblings. I feel happy...sometimes the winter doesn't allow me to be that way.
Pattie, I made scrambled eggs for dinner tonight and I cooked them slow like you had posted...they were fluffy and yummy. I have learned an awful lot from all of you:) Thank you!

  4. I'm so glad you get to enjoy some time with your granddaughter. Has your daughter opened up with you about what happened and why she's so moody now? I hope she can work through whatever she's going through and get back to her usual self quickly. Has she considered going to therapy?

    Have a wonderful Christmas!

  7. Enjoy that time with your beautiful grand daughter! Glad to hear that you are happy! :) I love all the pictures you post on your site and I am hoping that Santa will bring me the camera I asked for. Then maybe I can post more pictures. I go through great pains to download pics to my pc. (sigh) Glad that things are looking up for your hubby & that your back is feeling better too!
    Hugs from your PA Buddy!
