We are headed to NC at the end of the week for my grandmother's memorial. Thankfully, my dad won't be in attendance.
I am looking forward to a couple days off work and the trip. I think I am also a little nervous, I've been overeating a bit this weekend.
In spite of that, Weight Watchers is going well and I am losing weight. Fitness is progressing, and overall I'm feeling good.

This morning I took a couple hours vacation and went to a fabulous estate sale with my mom. We both came away with some wonderful things, didn't pay too much, and had a grand time.
Hub is working long days, 7 days a week, trying to get a job finished on a tight deadline. The money certainly helps out, but it also means things like taking the big dogs to the park aren't happening.
Work is pretty stressful right now, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Right now I'm just trying to keep a positive outlook. There are things I can do, I just need to think about things.
Overall I'd say things are improving, money is a little better, hub is working (even if its temp) so that helps his attitude. Things got pretty rough for a while. He doesn't like Florida (it has to do with some bad family stuff that happened when he was in his early 20s), and he was pretty bitter about moving down here. We've come awfully close to splitting up a couple of times, and with the work and money pressure .. well, it's been rough. But I think we've gotten over the worst. At least I hope so. But I know in my heart that the boy and I will always be okay.
Mom and I are headed to the Everglades tomorrow, so I am taking a break from sewing curtains! Only 1 more and I'm done!!! :-)

Poor, neglected blog
I am busy living life, losing weight, working out, doing some sight seeing, working on my house, helping my son wiht schoolwork. In the evenings I rarely seem to find both time & energy to sit at the computer to do more than a quick check on my personal email.
Hub is working a temp job so that's great news - it has really helped his spirits. The boy is getting good grades. He & his uncle had a nice time in NC - my step brother is staying with us for a while working with hub and visiting.
I still have a lot of mixed emotions about my grandmother's celebration of life service at the end of the month - about who else will be there family-wise that I don't really want to see, and about my relationship with her in the last couple of years of her life. But I am going - for me & my mom, for my grandma, and hopefully to begin to build a relationship with my aunt. I don't have high hopes, but I have hopes.
