Hi all , Just wanted to come and share my weekend with you all. Yesterday we had my youngests daughter's graduation party. We'll it sorta felt like it was a grad party for me as well. First off, Saturday morning I worked til 12:30 met my Mom at Walmart to get the food stuffs for the party, and anything else that we needed, decorations etc. that we had not purchased earlier. Ok we get done shopping around 2:30, then went to the local diner cause we hadn't eaten, shared a cold plate and I still didn't finish my plate. Then on to her house to unload the vehicles and get started on putting groceries away, getting supplies ready, chairs, tables, decorations, balloons, signs made, put up volleyball net, set up canopy, wash down all the tables and chairs, do the food prep that could be done ahead of time and so on. Well, I will tell you all, my mother was not able to do very much as she is in need (waiting for date) of WLS, and her body just cannot take much, so needless to say I did most of the work, and I did not mind at all, I had sooooooo much energy and strength that I have not had in years, it actually felt good to do it and not be exhausted. Then I went home, got a few more things around to take to Moms house in the morning. Get up Sunday morning (early) go to Walmart pick up cupcakes, (and 2 more shirts one for the party and just had to get another), head to Mom's put up signs along the way, get to Mom's, help my Aunt and friend put up another canopy, then all the cooking had to be done, Mom did alot in the kitchen had most of the stuff started. Well you all know how much cooking there is to do for a big party, well anyway, party is now going on, and people flocking in, my daughter had so many friends show up, it was awesome and most of them stayed the whole time. Anyway, I am so excited, I played volleyball, running around, jumping, PLAYING, going up and down the hill to get the ball. It was hotter than hot, but OMG I had so much fun. We played a couple different times. Then we had the clean up and tear down last night, well I don't have to go into detail here, you all know how much work that is too. Only thing that hurt was my feet, probably from playing so much. Today I am minimally sore, just in my lower calves. I feel absolutely wonderful and excited and motivatied, you can't even imagine. Ok maybe you can, but any way I just had to share with you all, how so totally awesome I feel. I still have some to lose yet, but by golly I will get there and love every minute of it. I love ya all, have a wonderful motivated fun playful day !!!!!!!!! Shannon Arnold 257/173/130???
