Two days and counting...

Aug 09, 2009

Last night I had my last meal as a Phat Chick!! LOL  There is a Jamaican Restaurant not to far from my parent's house in New Brunswick that had the best (or so we thought) Jamaican food.  I got Stewed Brown Chicken, rice and peas and cabbage.  It was OKAY   I was sooooooooo disappointed.  Then to make matters worse my stepfather said he stop going to them a while ago because they took so long and the food wasn't as good.  NOW he tells us! lol  Really wish I had some Bahamian food ~Chicken Souse (soup), Peas & Rice, Mac & Cheese and sum Johnny Cake.  Talk about some good food!!   Can't wait until I can eat mushies because then I can have Fire Engine (another Bahamian favorite) Grits and Corn Beef.  At least I can eat that without much guilt.
Ok, so I slept most of the day because I didn't want to smell those fabulous scents coming from my parents kitchen.  Did not want to be tempted.  Had my oldest bring me a frozen SF fruit pop.  Ate that then went back to sleep.  Was up most of the night into early am with my youngest.  For some reason she was soooooooo fussy.  Think I finally rested my eyes around 5 a.m.  Was upset because I missed the early service.  I really wanted to go and this is my church away from  home.  Felt the need to worship in HIS house to thank HIM for all the blessings HE has been raining down on my lately but HE knows my heart, so I don't feel as bad.
I'm upstairs again with some Chicken Noodle Soup (strained of course) and it doesn't taste half bad.  I also have some lemonade Crystal Light.  So I'm Golden.  HOWEVER, of course my stepfather is continuing from Sunday Breakfast and is putting it down for Sunday dinner .  Black eyed peas (I don't eat that but it sure smells good), Baked BBQ chicken, Cornbread, and Greens.  LAWD pray for me!!  lol  I'm going to stay upstairs and sip on my soup and drink my water.  YUMMY!!   I'm just joking.  I almost half way there.   The day is almost over.  Will probably leave NJ around 7 or 8 tonight.  Get home unpack, change the linen on the girls beds and in my guest room and I will probably be knocked out around 11 p.m.  1 day down and 1 more to go!    My bed arrives tomorrow so I'm super excited about that.  Feel kind of bad for the guy delivering it because I have a three story and he is going to get a work out.  But at least when I come home from the hospital on Wednesday I will have fresh linen,  a clean room and a stocked mini fridge.  So all I have to do is take a shower and jump in bed with my pain meds.  Prayerfully, I won't need them but I have no problem with using them if needed :-)
Anyhoo, I'm off to finish my broth (it's cold now ) but my drink is nice and cool.  Have to pack up the car and hit the road.
Take care Friends

p.s. can you tell that I love these emoticons (or whatever they are called??  they crack me up)
