Weight Watcher Wednesday
I lost another 2 1/2 lbs. I am down 23.5 lbs. total. I was a little worried because I went to a tasting at a hotel for a lunch my office is hosting. I happen to be good friends with the catering manager of this hotel and he told the people from my office who arrange these things to bring me along for the tasting. It was so yummy. We got to sample three different entrees. The samples were basically 1/2 a portion. Then we got THREE desserts. Full portions. Double chocolate cake, banana pudding made with the hotel's signature cookies instead of vanilla wafers and bread pudding. I love dessert! I ate the full 1/2 servings of each entree and 1/2 of each dessert. It was my lunch and dinner. I guess it all worked out since I lost weight. To be honest though it is not often I get to eat such wonderfully prepared food and there was no way I was going to turn it down. It would have been worth gaining a couple pounds! Luckily that didn't happen! Could I possibly use more exclamation points?!
Meanwhile back on the ranch...
Sassafras is nine. She got her first blemish this month. She also no longer believes in Santa Clause...something about a bar code on her tv last year...what.ev.er. She is too smart for her own good.
I knew that motherhood would be hard work. What I was totally ill prepared for was the emotional difficulty that comes when they grow up. My theme song has always been "I don't wanna grow up". I embrace the silly. I often refer to myself as a 5 year old and to be honest I often act like one...in good and bad ways! I guess I should have known that watching them grow up would be hard. She is the most awesome little girl in the world and I am sure she will be the most awesome tweenager but why why why! Don't get me wrong I burst with pride for her accomplishments and milestones but one day she will roll her eyes when I call her "baby girl". It is breaking my heart.
