Thursday is my Friday

I work a 4 day week. So when Thursday rolls around, it's my Friday. I am especially tired this p.m. I think it's a combination of the new diet and back to Zumba. My plan for tomorrow is to sleep late and do very little! I think everyone needs one of those days every now and then! That is why we love snow days sooo very much.
Am hoping to get to Brooke's Saturday. I need to take things to her and pick up a few things at Hobby Lobby but most of all I want to spend time with her, won't be long until she will drop the last name she has known since birth and officially be Mrs. Jennifer Brooke Kerr.

Wednesday

Lastnight I finally made it back to Zumba. I had been going faithfully and then Christmas happened! Was tough getting back on track! As I get older having "something" every night is too much so sometimes it's pick and choose. I don't like that either. The wedding invitations came yesterday! They look great and although I am happy I couldn't help being a little sad. Things will be different. Which translates into I have to share Brooke and it won't be 50/50... more like 80/20... me being 20! I have to say how happy Brooke made me with one of her blog comments about she and Josh seeing the need to find their own church. That made me smile.

Monday MLK day

This a.m. we met Brooke as planned... hmm, kind of. I was a tad late, that's not like me but I was very easily forgiven- that's not like her- lol! Just as luck would have it and our forgetfulness, the Park was closed for MLK day! We were able to do as needed at the Amphitheatre but had to become peeping Tom's and see what we could through the Tea Room windows. No counting tables or chairs, measuring, etc.,etc.

Nevertheless, it was a good day! We looked at churches, ate at Harrisons and made a quick grocery stop! Love spending time with Brooke, you have no idea how I've missed her. Sort of like being in school and loosing YOUR best friend to ANOTHER friend except you can't get mad at the other friend because you know deep in your heart HE needs to be her best friend. Like I said - I don't do changes very well but I'm really trying.

The diet...well, let's just say it's not got off the ground yet but it will. Oh Lord, please tell me it will.

Tomorrow

It's late but it's not tomorrow yet! I will be up early, should be asleep already! Mom and I are meeting Brooke at 10:00 a.m. to take a closer look at the Norris Tea Room and Amphitheater- the wedding venue. We need to take measurements, check outlets, count tables and chairs... all that good stuff! We are getting close! Whew! It won't be long now... Jennifer Brooke Kerr. Ah, take deep breaths, I know I can do this. (Lord willing)

Today I have once again attempted to start THE WEDDING DIET! My daughter is getting married in March! So far I've done good. Day one for me is always the hardest. Of course, it's only late afternoon- anything could happen. I have a plan. One that I am hoping will help me loose weight and gain a new attitude. The whole I can't deal with change thing has to get better... right? I always thought that everyone felt the same way I do... NOT! Why can't I have the whole, I want them to be happy, they have their own lives to live attitude. Well, hopefully with alot of will power and I'm talking alot... more than the normal person needs! AND alot of prayer, I can make those changes. 69 days til the wedding... and counting!

All of a Sudden!

I don't like changes and am thinking I probably never will. Looking back over the last year there has been alot of them. Most good, itleast for one person or the other. I love the fact we have lived in the same house for most of our childrens lives. I wouldn't want to move, change jobs or even get a different car. I guess my lack of loving change has brought on a big change in my life. All of a suddden nothing is as it was. Over time it won't feel like change it will just be the why it is. I wish I was one of those free spirited people that thrown in any situation quickly adjust but that I'm not. I have however decided my coping mechanism isn't working. I am going to have to paddle or sink!

April...so far!

April 1st... April Fool's Day! I usually "get" somebody but no one fell for it this year! In the words of Matt, after I told him Brooke & Josh had gotten married,"You'll have to do better than that!"

April 2nd...My Mother's birthday, she was 76 years old. She doesn't look it, she looks great! We celebrated all weekend. Had breakfast at the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg.

April 3rd...Had family dinner on Sunday for Mom's birthday with cake and ice cream, of course! Birthday weekends! I love them!

April 4th... Susan is home from Aiken. We ate supper at El Publitos, Brooke joined us. She had alot of good advice concerning Brooke's love life. You go Susan!

April 6th... We finished our Wednesday night bible study on the book of Revelation. It's been a long, in-depth study and clearly I will never fully understand it. :/ Brooke is spending the night. We have not went off the beaten path! Subway, the Walkers and we just finished off a couple brown sugar pop-tarts... YUM! April is looking good! :)
