WLJ - Mar. 31 & a note at the bottom....

[Ky_Mama]

Time to check in with y'all ~

197 this morning.  But AF is here, so I'm not worried.  Heck, I've probably already lost those 2 pounds in water weight!  LOL  I'll be walking a lot up at Mom's this week, and starting next week (when JT goes back to school) I'll be walking a mile every weekday morning.  I'm so glad Spring is here, if only in spirit for now!  And Clare is going to bed/getting up earlier with each week so I'll even be *awake* while I'm walking him to school..... not something I'm used to, really:

 

 

Seriously, I need to own that button.  "Morning" to me, equals "noon-ish".

But hey, maybe this will help.  It'll certainly be a kick in the pants  :D

 

Onto other news......

Kids and I are leaving tomorrow afternoon for Mom's.  I'm leaving my computer here so Ira can work on it (nothing major, just GIGO stuff), and Mom's had a virus so I don't know if I'll be able to check my email or read anything online.  I'll definitely be back home by April 6, hopefully early in the day, and I'll get to any messages by the 7th.  Jenn, I'll call you Wednesday and we'll try to set up something for the weekend at some point, depending on the weather.  I hope it's looking to be nice and dry  :-)

Ira and I had a nice weekend while the kids were camping with my ILs.  I went out shopping for a dress this morning!  After 4 hours of browsing through 3 stores..... I have ONE new dress.  LOL  I found a bunch that I liked but didn't fit, and another bunch in my size that didn't appeal to me.  Oh and the one favorite was $70, so I'm going to keep an eye on that one going on clearance someday.....  **crossing fingers**  And "my size" is now smaller than it was a year ago!  I can wear a 16/XL in most everything now!!  I even cut up a pair of jeans on Saturday - thought about making a new skirt from them and a cut-up pair of Ira's jeans, but decided against it.  It's all in The Box That Will One Day Become A Blanket now.  For now.  :-)   I want to look for one more dress while I'm at Mom's, since there are a couple stores up there that I don't have down here.  I'm hoping for a Donna Reed or June Cleaver kind of look, but not *quite* as dressy as them.  (Clear as mud?)  I'd make a dress like I want to find, but buttonholes still scare me.  I'll have to practice them :-)

The kids came home a day early (tonight), and we ended up ordering pizza.  Terrible, I know, but I wasn't expecting them early and didn't have anything laid out for myself - I was eyeing the leftovers before they got home!   Anyway, the unfortunate reason for their early arrival - my FIL's dad passed away earlier today.  (Older, and on oxygen, so not "surprising", yet unexpected so soon)  If you would, please remember the family this week.

While I'm thinking of it, Hank - an 8 year old boy I know  - still needs prayers as well.  He's getting better but is still  in need of prayers.  Another friend, Sherrie, is someone I'm lifting in prayer this week as well.

My prayer list is long, and seems to keep getting longer, but I'll throw all of you on it too - whether you need it or not!  :-)

Hope everyone has a great week, and I'll talk to you soon  :-)
