I cannot believe that I am retired and I still get up at 5:00 AM. After I had my first cup of coffee, a bad storm blew in with thunder and lightening and heavy rains.  I love to sleep during storms but I cannot go back to bed and fall asleep, so I opened the kitchen window and listened to the rain. 

Today I am resting the knee on pillows because last night, I guess during the night, I twisted my lower leg and my knee just pulled like crazy and today it is swollen again. I will be so damn glad when my knee doesn't dictate the simplest things in life like sleeping....

B: Toast

L: Potato soup with shrimp

D: Salmon, broccoli, and carrots

S: Don't judge...chips. I know.

Hey Jeannie,

I was up and out the door at 8:00.  The kids' school PTO did a fund raiser called a Fund Run.  The kids get donations for the PTO, and run laps at a park next to the school.  We had gorgeous weather here in Michigan.  Temps went to 78 degrees.  Kids did great.  So proud of my runners.  

Then I went an urgent care coz I messed up my toes, which were operated on last November.  I got them caught in a throw rug and tripped.  I had it x-rayed, and need to see my orthopedist.  I have an appointment tomorrow morning.

When I got home, I started making applesauce.  Aldi's had Gala apples 3 pounds for $1.49 last week.  I bought 9 bags last week.  When I made the applesauce last week, Mom thought I put sugar in it when she tasted it.  That's how sweet these apples are.p  Plus, they're bigger than normal bagged apples.  I had an appointment for a pedicure before I finished peeling, so Mom finished while I was gone, and then started the crock-pot for me.

After I got back, I did some chores, and around supper, Frankie came over so Colleen could take Lincoln to football practice.  Then, I took him to the kids' program at church.  Busy day.

I have been sugar free since August 28, but my snacking and comfort eating is out of control.  I'm not beating myself up over it, coz I know some of the stress eating is coz Mom is here.  90% of the time we get along fine, and the few times we clash, the eating isn't over.  It's the added responsibility of taking care of her.  It's not a problem for me, it's just the change of routine, and being responsible for her that I eat over.  I don't feel stress, I just feel an immense sense of responsibility.  I'm motivated by love, and want her to feel loved and appreciated.

Hugs,

Trish
