Girl Friends Are Renewing

Spent the weekend with my sisters from GFWC Sebastian River Juniors and other members from around the state at the GFWC Florida Convention.  Late nights and Early mornings.  Celebrating the accomplishments of the year that all the clubs have done to benefit their communities.  I always come back exhausted but with a lighter load.

Its one of two weekends a year where we all get together and shed our responsibilities as wives, mothers, sisters, and working professionals to just enjoy each others company and relax.  I LOVE IT!

Even this weeks car fun is not dampening my spirit.  My radiator is leaking so my wonderful husband has taken it out and ordered a new one - which we are praying will arrive on Wednesday - so for this week we are carpooling together for work.  Even though this morning was a little rough for us matching our times together we made it out the door.  We got to drive in watching the sunrise and sharing time for conversation that we normally don't get.

It is going to be another busy week - heading into some down time.  My step daughter will graduate with her AA this weekend, a month before she graduates high school, due to Dual Enrollment.  She is an amazing young woman and we are so proud of her!

Update on buddy/Jocelyn -
   She had a glucose monitor put in yesterday - which went very well, except them finding a spot to put it, because you need a fatty spot and she has no body fat!!  Now they have to take her sugar readings 4 times a day and not give her any medication to see what is going on.  We are all praying for answers as to why she is feeling "weird".   She has PT today and Wednesday.  If you would like to follow Jocelyn's journey you can go and like this page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-for-Jocelyn/351637158314602.

Also because Jocelyn spends so much time at the hospital she has been given a page for her Hero Package. Check it out here: http://www.gamerosity.com/heroes/jocelyn-nocito

Happy Tuesday, may it be filled with many blessings!

I'll take it

So it was race week - and as my last post showed it was a great success!!!  Of course that also meant my focus on my eating and exercise was not as high as normal.   However I must be doing something right as I only gained 0.4 pounds.

With Convention this weekend for my Woman's club - GFWC Sebastian River Juniors (General Federation of Women's Club) I will have to stay on my game to make sure I lose this week.  And as GI Joe always said "Knowing is half the Battle!"

And just to keep me on my toes I'm dealing with a minor injury!  Walking too quickly out of the house I smashed my hand into the cement pillar by our front door.  I let it go until yesterday, thinking it was just bruised, but woke up with my hand all tingly and the pain high.  I got it xrayed yesterday, still waiting on the results, but the doctor wants me in a wrist brace for at least a week no matter what the xray shows.  Ah well, nothing new right?! :)

Buddy/Coach Jocelyn Update:
 She has lost some weight so her button for her j-tube was to big and had to be replaced with a smaller one, hopefully this helps with the pain she was having with it.  She is still feeling weird and will need to see another specialist to see what is going on.  She also has what they call bacteria overgrowth and that eats at the lining of her intestine.  Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Picture of the day: My sister and I about 2 years ago when she came to visit me, just her -  a mini mommy vacation.  I wish we lived closer, but we make the most of our times when we are together!
