4 day weekend!!!!

We had a wonderful weekend last weekend! I got to have 2 paid days off because of the weather, and you just can't beat that. Thursday we didn't get called off until about 15 till 8:00 so I was already up and dressed for the day. I was leaving the house to go and pick up Ron for lunch, I put one foot on the step on our front pourch and the next thing I knew I was looking straight up at the sky. I fell. HARD. It knocked the breath out of me and my elbow and the lower left side of my back were already throbbing with pain, but I popped up from that step like an 8 grade cheerleader. I was scared to death that someone saw me fall, and I have to say that I am guilty of laughing when people fall. Not in a mean, I hope they are hurt way, but like the America's Funniest Home Videos I think some of the funniest ones are when people fall, or the chair they are sitting in breaks, or they walk into a wall.. I could go on and on. So I was pretty sore Thursday, and it was worse on Friday, but I didn't care I was so happy to be home. Anderson and I spent all day Friday together, we didn't leave the house once! I even laid down with him and we took a 2 1/2 hour nap, all snuggled up in Mommy and Daddys bed. When we woke up, Anderson helped me cook chicken and dumplings which tasted like a little slice of heaven with the snow outside.
Saturday.. day #3 of my four day weekend..
Ron was off, we got up and stayed in our PJ's all day. It was a wonderful day, just the three of us. We watched movies, I got the laundry caught up. Nothing really special, just a good holesome day with my family. I need more of these.
We ventured out of the house for a little while Saturday, just to see the snow and ice. We went over to Nanny's about 5 and Ron played some dominos. We were ready to go and Anderson said he wanted to stay the night. (at nanny and pawpaws what anderson says goes) He stayed the night! Ron and I went to the movies and saw Book of ELI. Great movie, a little gorry but it had a great story behind it. I like the name Eli, Ron likes Elliot. We don't have a boy name, so every now and then we toss around ideas. Oh Ok stay on track... So after the movie we went home and got in bed at 6:00. That is were we stayed the remainder of the night. It was nice.
Sunday::
We went to pick up Anderson and had breakfast at Nannys. Ron and PawPaw played another game of Dominos and then we left to go home. Ron was ready to shovel the drive way and the sidewalk so Anderson and I attempted a snowman. It kinda looked like a snow blob, so we gathered up our bowl of snow and went in to make snow icecream for the first time. It was yummy. I only had one bite. Anderson and I made a snow icecream man, which wasn't much better looking than the blob outside, but he love love loved the snow icecream!!! I took the leftovers to Nanny and Jimmy. We are cutting back and trying to get healthy and I am pretty sure I could have eaten every single bit of that Icecream.

Here is it January. I swore off cake, candy, coke, donuts, ect the first of the year and I have had NONE.. When my Granny quit smoking years ago she always left an open pack in her car, I asked her why and she said its easy to say you don't smoke when there aren't any around. If I can sit here and know there is some right here and STILL not smoke that is when I know I have quit for good. Well for 2 weeks I have been carrying a snickers in my purse. I will tell you that I have got it out and looked at it at least 3 times. But I put it back and its still there now. I am doing much much better with my diabetes and it all started with letting go of the sweets and getting off of this poor pitiful me mode and get into this I am not going to let this disese take my life over. I am in control for the first time in 4 years and it feels so good!
I am however planning a cheat. Valentines day I was asked to accompany 2 sweet sweet boys to one of our favorite restruants Salt Grass. We are going to have dinner and order a molten chocolate cake to share. I am looking forward to it, but after that, I will not have any sweets again until our 7 year anniversary in June. I figure a little cake 3 times a year won't hurt me.
