Really, really time to change

Although I have a sore throat, coughing, chills and aches all over, I have done a couple of things to get the New Year started right. (Jordie had to work today taking care of his elderly clients and left a very kind message this morning on the charming little ceramic message board that the Bensons gave to us: "Sadie is walked and fed.") It was great of him to take care of the morning dog routine, because that is my job...so I wrote a note for the front door and sent email messages to several mom friends, asking that they not take their daughters home (from the New Year's Eve overnight with several girls) until the downstairs was cleaned up...(I stayed in bed in my office/guest room and was nowhere near the girls, who stayed with Abby downstairs last night.) I also loaded and ran the dishwasher and cleaned out the sink, made myself breakfast. THEN I went to the computer and signed up for Weightwatchers. I am also going to join Ann Smith's support group for losing weight. This is the semester for getting it together on this weight thing. I am heavier right now than I have ever been, and I think that accountability is the answer. It is all too easy for me to fool myself. Time to change! And now time to get back to bed and sleep...
