Saft sponsored a Wellness Screening yesterday and today. I was laughing yesterday at some of the people because one was told that he was obese!! He had never been told that and he was claiming that after that he needed to go to the doctor for medicine to treat his depression. So it was hilarious...so my turn today!!! No laughing coming from me, in a way I am laughing. I wasn't called obese but was told it wouldn't hurt to loose some weight. Which I already knew!!! But I am looking at it that I didn't have to pay $35 for someone to tell me that. It was free to me! Sugar was higher than what it should have been. Blood pressure...116/82. I think that is good compared to the normal 120/80. She tells me that I need to watch my blood sugar. I wanted to say Honey, my husband has been gone for almost 9 months and I don't know when he is coming home so if my bottom number is 2 points higher, NO BIG DEAL!! But I thanked her and went on my little marry way.
Something that did make me happy was that since I have had Aydan, ( I know that has been over 2 years BUT...) I have lost 28 lbs. So I will try to continue to loose weight. Why does it seem to be so easy to gain but 10 times as hard to lose!!! And then when you see people just pig out and pig out and then go back for thirds and they have no fat nowhere!!! Life just isn't fair!!!
But God is still in control!!! Revival this coming weekend! Still looking forward to it. I did something in Sunday School that I think the kids will like so I have to finish that up this weekend. They need to be laminated so they will be more durable but I liked it.
Mariano is doing great. Things have calmed down between his mother and him. Chapito who is Mariano's son was chosen for something similar like a Homecoming King & Queen last year. Mariano never got to see pictures but yesterday they picked the new couple for 2009 and Chapito had to escort the girl. Mariano go to go and see and he was proud. I think it really meant alot to Chapito too! And yes I had to ask if Chapito's mom was there...sorry but I did. And yes she was to which Mariano said he didn't talk to her because he knew that people would really start to talk. But I just told Mariano that when I knew a relationship was ending with someone, I always wanted to walk away with a closure that if we met up in the future that we could talk as friends. If Mariano and I ever split up, and Lord help us if we did after all we have been through, but Lord willing that will not be a trial that we will have to discuss. I am getting off the topic, but to have a child with someone and not be able to talk at all unless we do it over the phone. I thought that was said and my heart went out to Chapito because he has never seen his parents talk to one another unless it was over the phone but he never will. I think Mariano has rights to talk to her as long as I know about it because I would want those rights too if I was in that situation.
I also think of two people that I work with who have gone through recent divorces with children. And all they do is argue. And these two people were married for like 10-15 years. How do you get to that point where you can't hold a descent conversation in front of your children. So of course I bring this up while talking to one and they claimed 'the other party' started it. All I said was you don't have to answer or egg the situation on...but I think that is really sad. Sorry but I would be so disgusted with myself and Mariano if we had to split up after 15 years. That would be like wasted years to me.
That is my story for today.....

You crack me up, girl! Sorry my kids had to miss the special sunday school thing...I'm sure it was cool! =) And I know what you mean about closure and messy divorces...I don't understand that either! Lord willing neither one of us will ever have to go through that. =)
What I can imagine is how someone, (someone I know), can be married for 20 plus years have beautiful children together and then divorce. I mean half of your life is there with them and then one day it's over. That is sad. Whether it is 2 yrs. or 30. No how great or small the number of years anyone is married it is sad. I've seen it first hand what it does to families, and it's not easy. I'll just say that.
what I CAN'T imagine...is what I meant to say.
It all boils down to not having
God in the relationship. He is the glue that holds it all together. His spirit helps to make us willing to work our differences out. People don't talk because the anger has built up to something far beyond what they can control. Hurt feelings play a part but, most divorce victims won't admit as much. It makes them too vulnerable. Anger is a better feeling cloak.
I can't believe it's almost nine months already! You have surpassed by time of being without my companion.
Hang in there. I am praying for you every day. Sometimes more than that.
Way to go on your weight loss. I can tell by looking at you that you have lost weight (but I've told you that already).
As for the divorce thing, it's unbelievable some times. I guess it just proves that anything can fall apart if you don't keep it maintained. It also serves as a reminder to treasure the moment. Live in it, love it!!!
