My May (2009)

May 31, 2009

May has been a VERY BUSY month! Josh & Jenny had Jake, Jacob Tyler Bryant, my frist Grandson and my first grandchild! I am flabbergasted! We are still in AWE. Jenny did fine with delivery. I told her she should have been born in the 1800's because you could not tell that she had just delivered a baby!  really, she was walking, bending, squatting...I stayed with them for a week and tried to keep her from doing much except talking care of Jake. She is such a good Momma and Josh is a very proud Daddy. Tommy just cries every time he sees him or holds him. Me...well I secretly cried my eyes out for almost 3 days. All I could think about was how Momma & Daddy wanted Josh & Jenny to get married and have them a great grandchild! I really missed them when Jake was born. My sister, Kathy, was in the Dominican Republic on vacation and could not be reached so I was without her also. I did talk to Jessie and that helped. The night before Jake was born, we were all at the hospital and my phone rang....it was my SIL Angie. She told me my brother had fell, broke his hip and had a hip replacement and was not responding well during recovery. She waited 3 days after the fact to call and Let us know. That figures. Anyway, he is in rehab now and doing better. I think that patients who have had strokes sometime do not respond well after surgery. I hope is gets better.
We are trying to stay busy at work. Our grocery company went bankrupt. We have been without a gro company for about a month now. We just cant decide who we are going to pull groceries from. I hate change!The bridge is finished now and that has helped business. We survived the gas crunch, opening of Walmart, Kroger and the neighborhood market in the last 6 months not to mention the economy! It is not anything we are doing to survive..It is God and we know it! We are humbled at his graciousness. We have not had any extra money but we have had enough to live on.  We have so many friends that have had to close their businesses in the last few months. I pray God just shows us how to use the money he sends us.
Jason & Vickie are moving out. After renting from us for almost 7 years they are going to move in with  her Parents. they need to because she has been in bridgeway 6 times this year....Stupid crap...Nothing but laziness and drugs! Don't let me get started! Anyway, we are anxious to clean and repair the place so I can get it rented. it is going to take a small fortune just to do the repairs!
My weight is doing fabulous! This month I have probably lost 7 lbs. I need to start walking again now that it is nice outside. Tommy promised he would walk with me..I will hold him to it. I am still eating sf ice cream and pudding for snacks. I need to be more diligent with my vitamins!!!!! I have3e to get better with that!!! It is serious! I have been lax in the last couple of months. My eating is pretty good. I am up to eating right at a cup of food at a time. I can now eat a whole banana.  I still don't eat anything that will make me sick! UCK....I can not deal with that feeling!. I still splurge every other week and have a piece of fried fish on Friday! OMG it is great! yep, i eat a couple of fries also. Just a little bit because I will OD and get sick. Still not drinking before and after I eat! No big deal anymore, I have done it for so long it does not bother me anymore.  This month I have been teetering between 166 and 168.
All and all.....I have adjusted very well to my new lifestyle. I enjoy eating a little and feeling satisfied. It is just not that big of a deal to me to eat anymore! Thank goodness!!
Until next month....
Rhonda aka NaNa to Jake
