Getting Older

I told the kids last night as we went to bed that I wasn't ready to go to sleep because when I woke up I would be a year older. :-) Wouldn't you know, it is a day we can sleep in and who is up bright and early? Yep, Taylor and Cameron. I told them it was my birthday and I get to sleep in. They let me sleep for another half hour. Taylor made me breakfast. It was my favorite Honey Combs with milk and Chai Tea. I had to help with the Chai Tea. She brought in the newspaper. Great way to start the day. Soon after our busy lives started. The kids had to be in two different places at one time. Oh, I guess I should mention Duane is in Malasia. I sent Cam to the neighbors so they could take him to his game while I ran Taylor to gymnastics. My plan was to drop Taylor off and head to Cam's game, hoping to miss only a few minutes. Well, since most reading this know I am not the smartest at navigation, I didn't know where I was going. I thought I did but I went to the wrong place. oops! No ball game in progress. I kept driving around. I finally asked a guy walking his dog. He pointed me in the right direction. I ended up at the game at the beginning of the third inning. I did get to see Cam hit a double and his team ended up winning. Yea! For dinner, Duane's parents brought some chicken BBQ over. It was delicious. We watched Penn State crush Syracuse. It was a great game. After Duane's parents left, Taylor wanted me to watch The Cinderella Story. It was a cute movie. Taylor said I have written to much so I guess that means I should cut this one short. Oh but before I do, I have to share a personal celebration. A year ago today, I was the heaviest I had been in 15 years (except for being pregnant). It was depressing. I decided I needed to do something about it. I joined Weight Watchers online. I haven't reached my goal yet but I have lost 17 pounds to date.
