I have had a very good weekend. My 22 yo daughter came home this weekend. My 25 yo son also came over yesterday, so I had all 3 kids at home for a bit. Doesn't happen very often anymore. Two of my cousins have children graduating high school, so went to 2 parties yesterday. I finally finished my liquid diet and made an executive decision to have some "real" food. I've been so tired and void of energy since my surgery that I thought maybe having some protein would help. It seems to have, so far. However, I gravitated right to the salty foods. Sigh. Maybe it will help the postassium issue though.
Here's the one pic taken of me this weekend. Of course, what am I doing??? Loading up at the candy buffet! HA HA. My cousin had LOADS of different candies and you got to fill up a cellophane bag with your faves (mine was Dove chocolate and orange and cherry slices). Isn't that a fun idea?
My kids are uber-hammy when it comes time for pics. My oldest son didn't want his pic taken, so decided to "pout". He should know by now I take whatever I have to work with. HA HA. He likes to tease his Mama.
He is 25, married and an amazing Daddy to my 3 little grandbabies.
This is my 22 yo daughter. She's a senior in college, home for the weekend. I interrupted her mid text! lol.
And of course, my baby. He's 13. That's an akward age and stage, huh? I told him to look cheerful. Hmmm.
Anyway....I had two parties to attend yesterday and then one today. The one today was a former state ward of mine. I had him as a ward off and on since he was 12 and he'll soon be 18. He made a point of hand delivering this invitation, so I made darn sure that I went, even though tonight I am totally exhausted. Its one of the few rewarding moments in my job.
I'm heading back to work tomorrow following a week at home recovering from my slipped band surgery. Hoping it will go well. With my job changes, I will be sitting down at a computer all day, so not a hard labor job by any means. My biggest concern is the fatigue element. When I returned to work after my lapband procedure in January, I was having to take my lunch break early and I ended up napping the full hour.
My daughter just left to return back to school (summer session starts tomorrow) and I am going to take a hot bubble, get into my pj's and crawl under the covers with a book. I ordered Charla Krupp's book "How to Never Look Fat Again" (at least I think thats the name of it). Full of ideas on dressing in the most flattering style for your body. It looks good.
I hope everyone had a lovely day!

Cute kids. So glad you were all able to be together. And I thought you were picking up veggies at that table. Hope you enjoy the candies.
Hope you are feeling better! Adorable family!
And thanks for reminding me about that book. I have the "How not to look old" one and enjoyed it....hmmm...maybe need to whip that one out again for a refresher. ;)
Great family, Ali. You are so young to have such grown kids - and grandkids! They're really lucky to have a young grandmother. I'll be 56 when my youngest child turns 20, UGH. That worries me, but that's why I got the band.
Let us know how the book is!
