Ok, I'm in a better mood tonight. I got a few of my do's list done tonight. Only because my MIL went to bed at 8:30. She's upset with me. She doesn't like it because I'm going to my mother's tomorrow. Oh well.

We went my MIL's appointments today. She got mad at her head quack (I really have issues with that office). For once she didn't give my MIL something new to try. Thank goodness. My MIL wanted something else, but since she is communicating with the family doctor (who I think is awesome) she didn't mess with anything. Physically my MIL is in good condition, its the other issues that cause problems. If you sneeze she's thinks she caught whatever you may have and is sick. If you say your throat hurts, hers does too and she just knows she has strepthroat. That's life on the funny farm. Her therapist, though an hour late, did get her to open up some.

Normally when we go to see the therapist, my MIL and I sit on the love seat. And we did today, but my MIL sat on the edge, turned towards the window, with her back to me. So, the therapist notices right off and ask her why she's so agitated today. She ignored her, would speak to her for a few minutes. And when she did all she would say is that her jaw hurt and she wanted to go home. So, she asked me what was up. Before I could say anything my MIL said we didn't come for you to talk to her, this is my session and if you're gonna talk then talk to me. So, she asked her what she was mad at me about. Anyway, what it came down to was that I caught her smoking. She kept trying to avoid the feelings questions and change the subject, but she did get her to talking.

So, this whole diet thing came crashing down today. We ate at that great little diner again. Instead of ordering the chef salad I order a fresh ground cheese burger with the works and onion rings. It was a special. I've been so stressed out and watching what I eat since Thanksgiving, I thought I deserved a day off. That was the only meal I cheated on. And I ended up eating fewer calories today than I have all week. How, I don't know. Spark says cheating is normal, as long as you admit it and don't make a habit of it. Everyone needs a break occassionally. Tomorrow its back to the grind stone. On the bright side, I am down to one soda a day. I've found if I put my bottle of water in the freezer and let it start to turn to ice, I can drink it better. Its nice and cold.

Speaking of cold, its horrible outside. I dread the drive in the morning. I'll have to watch for black ice. I was gonna ride with the hubby, but he's only working 5 hours tomorrow and I won't be back before he leaves. So, looks like I'm driving too.

My oldest son and daughter inlaw came by tonight. She started her new job today, just the training, so they came out to see us after work. She's upset that she hasn't started to show yet. She isn't even 3 months yet, and she wants to start showing. Oh my, that would be one way for her parents to find out. I can't believe they haven't told them yet. But after loosing the first one, I can understand.

I'm going to be now. Hope everyone had a lovely day. Especially you Jody! Goodnight! Blessings and hugs!
