Typical Tuesday
It’s good to have everyone back to work. Of course Bonnie still has her moments, but I listen to my ipod and just deal with it. I’m beginning to wonder if her mind is slipping.
I joined a contest at the gym that lasts 8 weeks. It’s been tough. On my 3rd day w/o a Dew, I was wanting one really bad! Today was better. I took water w/ me. Work’s water is nasty. I keep telling myself “I’m in it to win!”
It’s hard getting all the right foods together. I need to get in the habit of putting my meals together the night before work. I’ve gotten in the habit of excercise, so that’s going well. Even doing some at home.
I have an extremely busy month! Fundraiser, Conference, Work, Baby Shower, Massage, Meetings, Orthodontist, Christmas Party, Dance. I’m looking forward to it though. I ran into some friends last week and it was good to be out and about.
I pray for those who are experiencing job loss, debt and hardships. I am concerned a little with my job, but they just hired someone, so hopefully the company knows something possitive.
It’s okay for a woman to be the bread winner and a man to take care of the house. Whatever it takes to make things work. I was the one w/ a fulltime job, all the time, and Maynard did a great job as a stay at home dad. I came home to supper more often than not, driveway was always plowed, dishes done, etc. Of course he did work for many years, but not as regularly. It’s what worked for us.
Thank God For All You Have and realize that is how it is.

Answered Prayers
God answered my prayer. I have moments when I miss Maynard alot and on the 30th of Dec I layed down to take a nap. I thanked God and also asked that I was given strength for my boys and that I could have a sign that Maynard was still with me. As I was dozing off, I went into a dream that I was on an ATV riding on the trails just like Maynard & I used to do.
After a few months of restlessness I finally felt at peace. I knew that he was still w/ me. I also felt a good feeling about JD. The one who has chosen to be with me…despite our age and my situation.
It’s like being in love with two people, but can only have one physically. How does one get over losing a spouse? I’ve asked myself this many times. It’s got to be worse for those that have been married for 50+ yrs.
Thank God For All You Have and realize that is How It Is.
