Unpredictable Weather

Easter fun is best viewed over the shoulder of an uncle. Anna prefers to be carried like a royal princess.

I love spring! The plants, the birds, the followers and even the rain. The weather seems like it is finally done swinging from winter to summer. I don't like erratic weather. I like seasonable weather- warm or cool.

Middle age is like erratic weather. Hair in all the wrong places. Strange illnesses. Insomnia. Poor fitting clothes. Oh, and my favorite- hot flashes. Gaah.

Over the last month or so we learned that my husband is diabetic. I have been working to modify our diet and lifestyle so that we eat healthier and exercise more. Can I just tell you how popular I am? Really, what husband doesn't want his wife in hyper vigilant what are you eating mode? Carb counting is so much fun. John and I are working on loosing weight and it is going well. We have a friendly wager going on percentage of weight lost- not because either of us wants a prize but just because we each like to compete.
