Life

Today I am sitting at Chick-fil-A, trying to tire my little guy out before my drama meeting this afternoon with my new intern, so that he will fall asleep very quickly this afternoon, I have my fingers crossed. :)

It amazes me what people will talk about on their cell phones in a public place. For instance this guy behind me is chatting about some prostate problem he is having, I could even tell you his white blood count, CRAZY! People are so cautious about some things, but I guess not their medical information and let me tell you I would rather NOT here about it! LOL It just cracks me up, oh AND he was talking to his mom about it and to get her off the phone, he told her that he had another call and then he didnt...too funny.

Drama class starts next Wednesday and I am so glad, I sometimes loose my identity and who I am as a mom and when I teach drama there is nothing like it! I love it so much and could do it five days a week! Last semester was pretty intense with the major production I put on, so I am happy to have an intern to help me this year. (OKAY, this guy needs to get off his phone, he is driving me crazy! Back on the phone with his mom again, I can tell you how much pain he is in! Ahhhhh! He keeps saying, "mom I have gotta go, I love ya." I wish HE WOULD! lol

Well, life is great, so blessed I can hardly believe it, it is so nice to have a calm day and the calm days turn into weeks, I just love it! We signed on another year at our home and I am hoping we do that for the next couple years. :)

Still have one dilemma going on in my life and praying what to do. just not too sure and I don't have much confidence in myself, so just pray for me, please.

Signing out - Crystal :):):):)

Home Sweet Home

 It has been quite crazy since returning from Rehoboth Beach, which by the way I finally learned how to spell correctly, RehobOth, not RehobEth - lol, although spell checker still refusing to recognize the word, what is up with that?

As went each time we tried to get somewhere in Delaware, we got lost, but finally made it to the very jammed packed beach around 11 am and to our dismay, had to park a mile away from the beach and it was all metered parking on top of that for $1.50 an hour! My sis enjoyed laying out and I enjoyed the waves, they were so calming and intoxicating, I would love my mansion in heaven to be right along the beach. :) We enjoyed a great day together, great seafood that night although we were surrounded by homosexuals and it made me so sad and uncomfortable. Rehoboth is a beautiful beach, but we will not return. 

Sunday we slowly drove home and did some shopping along the way. We stopped by the outlet stores and I drooled over Michael Kors and Kate spade handbags for $300 - $400. ;)  Home was in sight around 7 pm and we had a great memorable time!!!!  

I am so blessed to have a fantastic sister, I can't imagine life without her!

Sister Weekend Get Away Day 1

 A little later than we wanted, my sis and I headed out at 8am towards Rehobeth beach, we planned to spend the day there. As we were chatting away, we drove right past our exit and 30 miles too far! We didn't even arrive close to the beach until almost 1pm and with the cloudy weather, we just decided to go to our hotel instead. The place was great and we headed to the pool to chill, relax and then the rain came. Sis decided to take a nap and I thought it was a great idea as well, but sleep was not on my side and a bit later I found myself unable to relax, worked up and headed for an afternoon cup of coffee. The coffee was weak and journal-ling didn't seem to settle my spirit either, I felt worked up and stressed out - still! Around 4 we headed out to find a place to eat, we were on the hunt for seafood and a place that was not a chain, possibly a hidden treasure that no one had ever heard of and that we did! It was actually located right in front of Dover Downs and it was called Shrucker's seafood. It was fantastic, we ate slowly, swapped cards and enjoyed great conversation and I don't want to forget to mention this awesome carrot cake/cheesecake - simply divine! Thankfully I finally felt calm and relaxed and enjoyed window shopping the rest of the evening. I don't know what kept me unsettled and stressed, possibly a surprising, unkind email I had received or some not so great news about my drama class in the fall. Either way, I am better, had a nice day, but I am SO looking forward to tomorrow, with high hopes!

The Ride

PMS should stand for, painful, mental, suffering. 

For those of you that are unaware, pms symptoms hit me like a hurricane, I want to cry, scream and stuff my mouth with burgers, fries and cheesecake all at the same time! Tonight, the hurricane visited with it's usual force and with a weigh in tomorrow morning, it did not look good. 

I left the house, wiping tears from my eyes, telling Bruce that I was off to get a double quarter pounder with fries and a  full size cheesecake and then once I started to drive, I knew I had to make a weight watchers 911 call to my mom. She gave words of understanding, empathy but most of all reminding me how it felt when I was heavier and how miserable I was. The conversation was short, and at the end I was still heading out to McDonald's, BUT before I was going to stop, I went to Pet Smart to look for kitties. I have been wanting a cat and I found the perfect one he was so sweet and laid contently in my lap purring, as I was about to adopt him, I remembered my trip to Rehobeth Beach next week and knew that I couldn't today. Then I headed to a favorite store and loaded the cart with  home decorating goodies, it was then my phone rang and my mom was calling again to check on me, seeing where I was in the middle of this emotional hurricane. She stated that she was proud of me and how I was working so hard at being a good steward with my money, I looked at my full cart and knew what I had to do. As I walked out of the store, empty handed, I was just feeling the strength to overcome my desire for McDonald's when my phone rang again, this time it was Bruce saying he really wanted a burger - OH NO, I thought, I don't think I can resist this temptation driving through McDonalds and not giving in to this longing. I was in the drive through and ordered Bruce his Angus, bacon burger and my stomach started to feel full and very bloaty, so I didn't order me anything but a small fry and headed home avoiding any store that sold cheesecake. On the way home I opened the bag and started to nosh on some fries and they didn't even taste good, I actually found myself thing of my fresh fruit that I had at home - crazy, huh????  I would say some divine intervention hit my hurricane and although I still feel yucky to the max, I am proud of myself and so thankful that the God I serve even cares about things like this AND for giving me the BEST MOM EVER!!!!!!
