I get a new boss today

President Obama. How does that sound? I'm personally not a fan of Barrack Obama, but today he will be sworn in as our president and commander in chief of the armed forces, which, technically, makes him my new boss. Hmmm.

I suppose this "historical" day should be having more of an impact on me, but it's just not. I can only hope and pray that he makes some positive progress during his time in office. And that our economy at some point in time starts looking up. The endless diatribes over "time for change" and "historical moments" are overrated and I am already sick of hearing it. So I'll just toast to "here's hoping" and leave it at that.

On a positive note, I survived a bout with stomach flu/food poisoning (not sure which) this weekend which left me about 6 lbs lighter! Hey, weight loss is weight loss, and I'm not one to thumb my nose at it. I'm just now getting back to trying solid foods and keeping my stomach settled. I didn't even want my coffee this morning, that's how bad it has been. Maybe this was just the thing I needed to get myself in gear. Seeing numbers go down on a scale always is inspiring, no matter how it happened. So thanks to the rancid meat or flu bug or whatever it was that made me throw up my toenails this weekend. I'm looking goooood, now. Ha ha.

Megan comes back tonight after finalizing her divorce. I know she's a ball of emotions right now but I'm so glad this will all be over. Now she can get on with HER life instead of living it for someone else. I'm anxious to see what path she will choose next.

The kiddos are doing great, as usual. Maddie looks so cute today in her little red sweater and has her hair all down and beautiful. And Brady had to take Mr. Bear to school with him this morning, it was so cute. He won't let go of it. He has a lovey every day that he wants to have with him. In the long run, it's easier for him to take his own than to adopt one from school that he has to separate with at the end of the day.

Glynn took such good care of us this weekend, with me completely out of commission and the kids running around like feral cats, he did very well. Even got all the laundry done! I don't take enough time to realize what a fantastic husband I have. And I KNOW I don't show him enough how much I love him. It's time to spoil him a little bit now. I don't know if he'll ever read this but if he does, HONEY, YOU ARE THE GREATEST! And I love you more than life itself. *smooches*

On that note.....off to work for my new boss.
