Don't You Think God Got It Wrong?

I was at my grand daughter's 1st birthday party on Saturday and meet a sweet couple there from my daughter-in-laws church. We got to talking about age, the man was in his early seventies the women looked a bit younger. Watching the my granddaughter and another little girl who is 2 years old run around and just bursting with energy I mentioned didn't they think God got it wrong - that babies should be the ones who wear out quicker and the older you got the more energy you had? They shook their heads with agreement. I really mean it, in your later years you may or may not have family around to assist you as you age. I know ALOT of people entering into their "old" age with having no one to help them. I think of this often, what will I be like in my late 70's or early 8o's? Will I be a burden on my kids? As you know I have been trying to get in better shape for many reasons and one of them is to be able to enjoy the later have of what life I have left on this earth. It is scary to think of being without any energy or health for that matter and being forced to work when you are in you 70's just to be able to survive, but that is a possibility that we are all looking at since retiring has really become something not many  people can look forward to. I know my aunt who is well into her 70's is still working taking care of others as a health aid, she has to work just to pay her rent and put food on the table. I know God probably thought that we would all have families who would take us in as we aged and would take care of us but now a days we are all struggling so no one wants  take someone else in to take care of even when it is family - Isn't that sad? I pray I can keep myself in good shape to be able to handle anything life has to throw my way in my upcoming years...

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Don't Drink Your Calories!

Okay, I have fallen off the wagon big time!
I have found a soda that I am loving right now! It is called Coca-Cola Life. It is sooooo good! It has 90 calories in one can so not real low cal which is disappointing but it is made with stevia & can sugar. I have been drinking just water for months now so it is fun to have something else to drink and right now it is just $2.99 a 6 pack (the gal gave me a coupon for .55 cents off - Dam I should have grabbed more coupons!).
Which leads me to falling off the healthy eating band wagon. I am now eating potato chips & chocolate chips! Now I am not condoning my behavior but I am completely a wreak about the up coming work week. I am wrapping up the fundraising portion of my job this week, the dinner/auction is this up coming Sat. night. I have a TON of stuff to do before that day arrives and you know how my boss scares the living life out of me on a normal day you can imagine during a stress week! Needless to say these two days have been spent eating everything in my sight!!  Which is too bad because I was losing a little bit (like one pound a week).
I pray this week goes by without a hitch and I get everything done to my bosses liking and I can go back to just the cleaning job and be able to breath at work again.

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Disney One Week Later

Here is my family & I minus my daughter-in-law she took the picture. What to say about Disney..... It had it's good times and bad ones. The amount of people there is mind blowing! At one point in the evening during the fireworks it was packed like sardines. I really mean it, you could not move and people that worked there were screaming for all of us to move but they had already shut the lights off so it was impossible to move with all the strollers & motorized carts and not killing yourself in the process. It was that bad..... people tell you about the crowds but you always think it won't be that bad while I'm there - well it was jammed packed. One of the good points is the fast pass - It really works wonderfully! We got on so many more rides than I thought possible using it. I have to say my grand daughter fell a sleep on most the rides. I do have to say a number of the rides broke down while we were on them, granted just for a short time but still when your in a dark place and the ride stops and you are stuck in a position where you are laying on your back it is a bit scary. I think Disney really needs to start working on the parks a bit more, from when I was there years ago so much has gone down hill. The staff at the park used to smile and be cheerful now they are snarly and cranky. Back in 1999 when we entered the hotel they said "Welcome Home" to us and made us feel so happy to be there, this time it was very low key and the gal that waited in us made me feel like we were an issue she had to deal with. Just little things here and there have changed and not for the better. When you are paying $105.00 a day to get in you want amazing not just ordinary.
Anyway, it was really great to get away and spend time with the family, not matter how stressful it got at times.

Until Next Time - God Bless!!
