another week gone by...

...and fast at that...sometimes it doesn't seem as though the week has passed so quick. It seems longer as 'daylight' without Ray is so long...he is gone from sun up to sun down and even later. This week he has to work Saturday (tomorrow, 26th). This would make it 70 hours this week, total, working. We can't wait til Saturday evening and Sunday to have with him. On another note, my in-law's are coming to see their, "Lady Brielle", for the Strawberry Festival (which starts on the 5th-13th). They will be here from Thursday evening, March 10th through Monday, March 14th. So, it will be nice to have some adult company to occupy Belle, my mind and spirit too. It gets lonely without Ray. Belle and I keep busy but also cherish the few hours a day we get with Ray. This project he is doing to re-vamp the 'Star Tours', at Disney's Hollywood Studios is very important as they HAVE to re-open on May 20th!!! I hope they have it up by then, according to Ray, it's far from it and that is the need for all the help they can get, hence, the time he spends there!!...It's literally, 'paying' off for us but I have to say that I can't wait til his normal schedule is up and running after May...let's hope and pray :) We are grateful for what the Lord has done and continues to do for us!!
Belle and I ran to do errands last night and I did stop at Target to get her 'toddler' snacks and meals. She was running out of them and I think her bowels were letting me know. Instead of pooping normal it was as if she was pooping rabbit pellets, so, she has a cabinet full of her whole grain snacks. The food she is munching on with us just doesn't cut it at times...she doesn't really eat meal, per say, but likes to snack all day long. So, this is why I make sure she has wholesome things to eat.
Also I have a friend going through a change in her life because of an illness and surgery, and with that was a change in diet. I have the link if anyone is interested. It explains what she has and what the diet is. It may be a good change for me too, since I am a balloon and am on the verge of pre-diabetic. I am looking at changing allot of the things I eat. F.Y.I. my friend, Jen., has lost 7 pounds since, Feb. 18th and starting this diet cold turkey. It's completely cleaned her out and she has loads of energy...Geesh, I remember back in 2003 when I lost allot of weight and I would do anything to feel the way I did then. It was amazing! We have to be healthy and active for our children and families. Here is the link: http://hiatal-hernia.org/diet.php
