Well here we are yet another Friday. Into February already. We have been having some beautiful days! I took weds off, walked with the kids to the park, played and walked back. Its not far, but felt great to get out and be in the sunshine!
My kids are all healthy now, no more snot! Thank GOD! BUT now I have a sick hubby. Fever, chills etc. I have ZERO sympathy...I suck at being compassionate, its just not in me. I pray about it often, and so far nada LOL! I try my best to be helpful to him when he is sick, getting him water or juice, medicine etc, but in the back of my mind I am always thinking - SUCK IT UP! Maybe because I don't get sick often and when I do its not that bad and I continue with life as usual. Maybe because when we were young my parents couldn't stay home, so sick or not we usually went to school and dealt with it. Its something I have had to really work on since having kids, I am caring and loving to them when they are sick or hurt, but if its barely a cold or a hang nail, I am not as compassionate as I would like to be. Its something I will have to be conscience about and concentrate on the rest of my life, much like my weight loss. My dad and I are very similar. Not too touchy feely, don't need a hug to feel love etc. On the other hand my hubby is very much that way, very much an affectionate person and needs that from me. I guess it all goes hand in hand, so I will continue to pray about it and work hard to be more compassionate to him.
With that being said, I am SAD that he is sick THIS weekend of all weekends. I am supposed to go out with some girls that I have known for years. We do it every Jan/Feb for our birthdays (we are all within a month of each other). We get together once a year and have a girls night out, dinner, drinks, maybe a little dancing! Ahh well if he is still tooo sick I wont go, but I will be sad :(
I am down another 1.4lbs today. Slowly but surely getting there. I was hoping to see under 210 this week, but I'm close to next week for sure.
