My Wonderful Sunday

Okay, so I went to Pogo and looked for Maria. I wanted to play Monopoly. She wasn't there, so I thought I would come here and share my wonderful day with you!

I woke up this morning, actually afternoon LOL Last night was 'date night' with Tom and Maria. I say date because we get together almost every Saturday night.  Would be more often but we live about an hour away from one another.  I always enjoy my Saturday night. It is a late night up for me which I also love. I am a night owl LOL Poor Duane He knows I take care of him for staying up late *Ha Ha* I don't have to work til 1pm but my boss gave me Sunday off as well. My boys are 17 mind you.

So sleeping in with no worries is a wonderful thing to me. I get up this morning, took my meds and turned on the Wii. Lost some weight from yesterday. Was happy My calves were very sore from the night before, I did the running for 2 cycles and some other stuff. Usually only run 1 cycle so I wasn't sure what all I was going to do so I figured I would give myself a bit and work out before I showered to get ready to go to Jammies. 

I ate my breakfast and checked my mail. Played a game of Monopoly on Pogo and decided it was time I had to workout before I had to get ready. I have a gazelle thing. I don't really know how to describe it but you put your hands on the bars and your legs on this foot thing and it swings front to back. Skiing kind of feel.

So, I had been on it one time since my sister gave it to me over a year ago. I lasted 6 minutes and when I stopped, I felt like my legs couldn't hold me up any longer. Not a good feeling. I was panting like I'd just been having sex non stop for 24 hours. I was a little worried but figured it would be best since my calves were already sore not so much but getting my blood pumping. I turned on my radio and got on.

Here we go, singing and swinging. Not so bad. I was doing great, my goal was 10 minutes. Then see how I was feeling but no stopping til I get to 10. About 3 songs it's been 10 minutes. I am doing good. I wasn't hurting or breathing hard. My calves felt good and I was having fun. Singing a little Donna Summer, a little We are Family and Kinky Girl song. The boys kept coming in and making there funny comments, but more to see if I was still on it. Jason was in several times commenting about my singing. I didn't care. I was singing like it was me on stage and I was so into it. At one pt Y.M.C.A came on and Jas came in to do the dance for me LOL He's known that since 5-6yrs old. Made me smile quite a bit

Anyways, I made it 30 minutes. I was so damn proud of myself I could of pee'd LOL I got off of it, walked like a champ. No shaking no wobbles no worries!! GO ME!! and Wii!! Worked on that now everyday for 2 weeks. I think that has helped but I really enjoyed my gazelle. I think I can use it alot and being in my room singing to my tunes makes it a fun time. Wow, I had fun and felt great. Was like a full body orgasm. My body, mind and soul all had fun at the same time!! What a great start of a day for me!!

I get my shower and get ready to go to Jammie's parents house, Sam and Patty, they invited us for dinner. I know Patty and Sam mostly through Jammie and Chris. I have met both of them once and talked to them on the phone. They are very nice people. I was looking forward to going over and getting to know them more and we had a wonderful time. Patty made a wonderful dinner. Not great for a diet, but it was my only meal of the day. I know that's not good, but that's what it has to be for now LOL I would do it again tomorrow. The food was fabulous. She's from the south and let me tell ya, YUM! We had frito salad (delicious), ribs ( fall of the bone ribs), beans and ham hock (she didn't tell me until after I tasted it it was ham hocks, thank you , mac n cheese (homemade oven kind) and dessert. If I missed something I am sorry but it was all very delicious. Best meal I have had in years, maybe ever in some sense LOL Who'd of thought I would ever of eaten ham hocks and say I liked it, Noone! LOL! I won't be buying them, but if someone else made it, I'd eat it LOL 

So, Jammie asked to stay over. I don't have to work tomorrow so it was all good. Duane had a race night, the boys would be hanging out, I can have some Me time!! Everyone has there thing to do, I can just sit back and relax and no worry bout who needs me or what and who I should be 'chillin' with, it's all good!! 

We have all been making a great effort to spend time together. For awhile, we all started sliding into our own things. I work all day and come home. I was chosing to spend more Me time trying to chill. The kids too. We all got into our own ruts. Things start to slip away that way. We needed to refocus on what's important and that is family. We have family, we have ourselves and we have our responsibilities. I think if you keep them all in order and focus on all equally, things go much better. If you lose touch with any of those things, life tends to drift off the road. We have all made ourselves aware and things are fabulous once again. We all have our alone times, we enjoy our time together as a family. We all smile alot more!!

So as I sit here telling you about my day, with my radio up turned up high, I tell you I am smiling. I am going to take my 'Tammy time'!! I wanted to share my day with you but now I must say good night. I am heading to play pogo. They have a new Monopoly game and it is wonderfull. It is so much fun. I haven't been playing pogo much, my game has been casino island pogo to go game. Now I am back on Pogo and lovin Monopoly!! So just wanted to share this before I forgot to come back. Enjoy!!
