I am a dieting failure.....

Well, my New Years resolution to get back to my diet has bombed so bad. I'm telling myself it's because of all the stress, but that is just an excuse, not a good reason. D still doesn't have a job, although he has had a couple of calls this week from recruiters that have a couple of openings they are checking on for him. We'll see. He has been really sick, but is getting better. I think now the anti-biotic he is now on is making him feel bad. He's not coughing near as much as he was, he's just sick at him stomach now. I hope he's better tomorrow, because he's going to a Fall Out Boy concert in Cleveland. That is about 5 hours from here. No, he's not into that band. Our daughter is a member of their fan club and had bought tickets months ago. She also got picked to meet them before the concert. She had a "friend" that has said all along that she would go with her, but yesterday backed out. So D, being a good Dad, agreed to take her. I'm so glad he is, our daughter does not have the best sense of direction and could easily end up in Michigan, or New York! Since he's not working, it will be good for him to get out of the house. I just hope he feels like it.
The girls went back to school Monday, so the house is pretty quiet. The downstairs is starting to look good again, except the living room. I'm going to get the tree down and get our son to put the stuff back in the attic. I know, it's late to have a tree up. We were late getting is up this year, so I left it up a little longer. But I will be glad to get it all put away.
We got a bill for our daughters hospital visit. $5300.00 They never asked for insurance, we thought that was kind of strange. Usually they ask for that the minute you step in the door. The bill said she didn't have insurance, so they "discounted" it $1,000. Wasn't that nice of them?? That whole fiasco is still making me mad. I know, I need to let it go. I would love to talk to all of the doctors and nurses involved in that mess, and ask them why it happened the way it did. I know she is over 18, but she didn't request that we not be told anything. She wanted us there, and agreed for them to talk to us whenever they asked her. I just don't understand sometimes. I guess that's why I'm not working at a hospital.
Well, I'd better get back to work, and finish my little chocolate donuts! Everyone take care, and have a great day.

Hi Sandy,

I hadn't heard from you for a few days and was a bit worried. It sounds like life will get back to normal, bit by bit for you and I also think it will be good for D to get away. I would think that would be an overnight trip?

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Hand in there baby, Friday's coming!
