Wonderful Sunday

Today started out normal nothing out of the ordinary. We got up went to Sunday School, William and I are prayer team leaders one Sunday a month(third Sunday) so we were in the prayer room during service, what a wonderful prayer time it was. Then our church has the South Kansas City Dream Center, where people can come and get items they need and food, and it was our Sunday to work there too(always third Sunday also). We do this as a family and the kids get to help serve their community too, awesome opportunity and they truly enjoy it. After all of this Emerald told me her birthday money was "burning a hole in her pocket." We decided to make it a girl's afternoon out so off Emerald, Rebekkah and I went. We stopped at McDonald's for lunch(R's choice) and the went to Old NAvy, Kohl's and Target. Em found a few things but still has money to spend, I was tired and told her we'd go another day to finish shopping. Both girls were on their best behavior, quite a shock for all who know and love Bekkah, and we truly enjoyed all of our time together. Oh yeah, at Target we *always* have to stop in the dollar spot and Rebekkah had $1 that she got from grandma and grandpa on Halloween or something like that. Anyway she found a sleep maske she thought she HAD to have, it is pink and purple and says "naughty" on it(you know for Christmas time) well I found a blue one that said "nice" but she said "well,pink is MY color so I will deal with naughty on my sleep mask" she is quite the card. So she bought that with her own money and she is/was so proud of herself and she wore it in the van on the way home but decided she might look goofy if she wore it in the grocery store as we stopped there to grab dessert,so she took it off for that but out it back on as soon as she hit the van. Gotta love her, she is the baby. ;-)

We stopped to get dessert because as of tomorrow I am back to working hard on my weight loss and exercise efforts. I have kinda thrown that out the window these last couple months but especially the last couple weeks with William in the hospital. Can you say stress eating???!!! I want to take off 85 pounds to get me to my original WW goal. We can't afford WW anymore so I am just gonna watch portions, kinds of foods I eat and walk minimum 30 minutes daily, with Emerald in tow(maybe others if they can keep up since doc told me Fri that it needs to be brisk walking) Sounds silly but pray I can keep focused and not be overly tempted since there is ALWAYS food from reps at my office.

Here's hoping everyone has a fantastic week. I am keeping my eyes focused on Jesus to help me on this journey we call life.
