Thanks for the backing up tips Maggie!

I'm sure Jeremiah will have an issue at bedtime but he always does unless he is in his own bed. He has stayed overnight with his Nana and also with me when I'm traveling...if it's not his own bed, he has to be WORN OUT COMPLETELY before we should even think about settling him in for the night. I'm sure he will LOVE the rest of it though as he is an outside boy to be sure!!!

I have the last batch of pears in the canner, 2 loads of laundry done (not put away yet though), floors swept, carpet vacuumed...need to mop but I'm about tuckered out at the moment. I got a whopping 4 hours of sleep last night, if that. Just me being awake.

Anyway, it's been a productive day. I've also done some planning for an upcoming trip. I'm hoping to connect with one of my best college friends who I haven't seen in FAR too many years!!!

About losing weight for your class reunion....if that motivates you, it works!!! I will tell you that I went to my 25th class reunion this year with the baby and my goofy hair and my weight gain and I was greeted with hugs and kisses all around. Not one person said anything or even looked at me funny. I think everyone is self conscious about themselves and also really too busy enjoying chatting with everyone to care about that stuff (ok..there may be one or two people...but seriously..who cares about that?). You are beautiful as is Maggie...inside and out!!! Make sure you take that weight off for YOU and YOU alone.

Love to all,

Michelle
