Thanks for checking on me. I am fine, but still having issues with dealing with the DS25 stuff. All I can do is pray he will someday grow up!
Everytime I start to stress about him, I get my 'stress stomach' - the constant feeling of a gas bubble, sometimes hard to even get air to talk. But, I know what it is & just drink lots of perrier & take gasx.
DD20 is still having some of the pore bleeding issue, but I'm just ignoring. She had bloodwork done in Dec & otherwise fine. Unbelieveably, she dumped her fiance on VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!
Is that not like a BAD, bad movie plot? Even tho he was suspecting, it was BAD! Don't know if they will be able to/want to try to work it out, but better now than later. I think once she destresses about that things will improve.
DS22 is better than good.....loves being a youth pastor, his group is growing quickly, and......the band has a record contract!!!!!!!
I am keeping up with my 5k every other day by bribing/punishing myself( & maybe others) - I will ONLY shower at the gym - unlimited HOT water! This week I am up to running 1.11 of the 3.2 and added 25 min on the elliptical after. And, I broke down & bought the Zumba set which should come today.
My DSis keeps telling me about all the great classes she takes at her gym(NONE where I can afford to go), and she has lost 16 lbs in 5 weeks eating what I eat & exercising less. Makes me happy for her but sad for me as she is 4" taller & so is 1/2 way to her goal already. I am losing at about 1/2 the rate she is , started out weighing 10+ lbs less, and still have more than double what she has to go. But, I am trudging along, wanting to BASH the scale!
On a VERY positive note, the issue DH had earlier in the year with his Admin did NOT affect his pay - he is getting a raise AND a bonus! So, I tentatively have us booked on a cruise with DSis & both her DD's & their families for the end of July. I say tentative because if DS25 doesn't get his head out of his @$$, there won't be any money for a cruise, but I am trying. May will be our 30th anniversary & I want to go! WAAAAHHHH!!
Off to take a friend to the thrift store to try to find her clothes for her divorce court date next Thurs. over 12K later, house in foreclosure, her DH not paying as he should, her inability to work due to severe arthritis & caring for her mom(90), food stamps getting cut to $100/mo for 3 people because her 2 sons make a total of $10 too much/month, it is NOT a happy time. In over a year her stupid lawyer, for 12K has not even attempted to contact the DH lawyer( in the same building) to settle. Just keeps dragging this out. Very sad. She won't take help, but I manage to get people to drop boxes of food off at her house every week or so & even her son's friends have pitched in $$ to keep their utilities on. If you think of it pray things go well next Thurs for her.
Gotta run & hopefully visit a few journals before I leave....if not, tonight, I PROMISE! Love you all!!

I sure hope things settle down for you soon!
Which Zumba did you buy? I have the first set of DVDs and Zumba for Wii. Love, love, love it!
I'll be praying for her and for her family. If there's anything that we can do, please let us know.
