There is a stomach virus going around my house. Lucky me! For me personally, the worst "Motherly duty" is cleaning up vomit.

Last week was a rough one. My grandma went into the hospital by ambulance. While she was at work, She started having chest pains, the school nurse called 911. My grandma is one tough old lady. She is 70 years old, works full time, takes care of her son who has Parkinson's, blood clots in his lungs, and mental problems. She raised 2 of her 4 grandchildren (my uncles kids) from babies, She lost her daughter (my mother) and her only living sibling within 4 days of each other in 1997, She took care of my great grandmother after she had a stroke 2 months after we buried my mother while working 2 jobs. Her husband had a stroke a few years ago and even though he can walk, he can't walk for very long and since he has no mobility in his right arm he can't push a wheelchair by himself, he came and picked me up so I could ride with him to see my grandma. I really think if it wasn't for the fact that I had to help Jerry get up to her room to see her, nobody would have told me she was even in the hospital. The doctors ran a few tests and the consensus was she has anxiety.

My car also went belly up last week. We think it's the starter, hopefully it will get fixed this weekend.

I am also having computer problems, It seems like I have never had much luck with computers. Brand new or used, I just have bad luck with them. I think my next computer will be a laptop.

On a happier note, I have lost 3 lbs. It's not week one on the Biggest Loser weight loss, but I'm happy with it. Hopefully slow and steady does really win the race. My measurements have also changed.

BUST:41 1/2 inches
CHEST: 33 1/2 in.
WAIST: 33 in.
HIPS: 38 in.
THIGHS: 24 in.
KNEES: 14 1/2 in.
CALVES: 14 in.
UPPER ARMS: 12 in.
FOREARMS: 10 in.

I have been walking everyday. It has mostly been walking indoors to my Weight Watcher's walking DVD. The most steps I have walked was 6849. I just can't seems to even get close to 10,000 steps in one day. I haven't had coffee in about 3 weeks and it's been 4 days since I've had a Dr. Pepper. I had a can of D.P. at the hospital on Friday. I am eating healthy, lots of fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken stir fried in my new wok that I absolutely LOVE. That's what I bought with my birthday gift card that my "mom" in-law gave me. Thank you Diane!
