Long Time Gone

I haven't been posting because I have been feeling better and I have been so busy. My sister came for a visit with her boyfriend so my parents came and they stayed with us. It's nice having them come around. And this visit with my sister was great because she was on her best behavior. Also she is selling her car to us. YAY. I don't have to drive the Vato (I'm sure that's not how you spell it) Mobile anymore. WAHHOOOO. Its an older car. A 93 honda accord but its in great condition. And it was only 1000$ so we got a great deal. 

Hubby and I are doing much better. He is trying again. He gets depressed but he wont tell me about it and so I don't understand why hes behaving a certain way so I take it personal. But hes been trying to talk to me more. And its helping. We have been getting along much better.

I have been trying hard to focus on the good things about MIL so I am feeling better about her too. She is still driving me nuts but I am dealing with it. And I think the space is helping. Also I decided I am going to blog about all the stupid things she says so that when she contradicts herself I can remember it and try to laugh. I think I will be able to laugh about it if I keep trying. The latest thing she contradicted herself on was about Babys eating. She said that Baby shouldn't be eating because my milk was going to dry up but yesterday on the phone with Hubby she asked what Baby was eating and said that's good she should be eating that regular. It still feels like WTF but it has a glimmer of humor in it. I am beginning to see that she is batshit crazy.

Something slightly related I always said that the people who are most opinionated are really stupid (well if you think about it its true because a smart person realizes that just because something worked for them doesn't mean it works for everyone) but I realized that probably for the most part it's really that they just make themselves look really stupid because they wont shut up. 

I am really happy that I am losing weight, well I haven't really done anything about it because I was sick for about 4 weeks but I didn't gain any back. I have lost 7 inches all over. 2 in my waist 2 in my chest (the bra strap area not the boobs) .5 in my neck (weird huh) .5 in my arms 1 on my hips and 1 in my thighs. The one thing I am really trying to do is cut down on sugar big time. I think that's part of why I haven't gained anything back. That and I think the exercise helped my metabolism 

Well we are going to go over to the IL's house later so I will probably have a post tomorrow or tonight.

Ciao for now
