Inaugration day. I am so glad that the coverage is over. I can't believe the channels that were covering it. Even QVC was having coverage. Of course with the kids here, we didn't watch as much as we normally would have, but we did see Obama speak. He sure has big plans that sound good, until it comes to implimentation.
It has been different this week. Mom is the back up sitter for a family. They have a little girl that is 4 months old. She has been so good. It is amazing.
Today I started the Special K diet. You have cereal or a protien meal replacement bar for 2 meals and then a normal meal for the third meal. Then you have a snack in the morning and one in the afternoon. It hasn't been so bad, but today is just the first day. I will definitely have to see. I did get hungry, but only when it was time to have another meal or snack. The worst part will be tonight. And I know I am not drinking enough water - but I hate the taste of our well water and bottled water has no taste at all.
A quick update on my cousin Zach. He had another surgery last Thursday to move his bottom 2 vertabrae back into place and then a pin put in to hold it in place. He is recovering well and has been moved to the surgical floor. So things seem to be going well.
Talk to you all soon

I know you sometimes have trouble with asperthame (spelling?) headaches. Can you find a sugar free drop-in for water that is made with splenda?
I hope the diet goes well. Switching to something new is the HARDEST PART. Stick with it though. In addition to needing more water, I needed more fiber. A LOT more fiber in my diet. I started by adding Fiber One granola bars. They taste really GOOD. :) You could also look for Benefiber orange flavored powder sticks (then you put one in a bottle of water). They taste really great -- like Crystal Light. And they really help me feel 'full' so I don't even think about eating. Or if they are too expensive (I think it's $5 for 16 of them here) you could try the orange Metamucil. It is gritty and thick (Benefiber isn't) but I mix it with sugar free Cran-Grape juice (from Walmart) and it isn't bad. Tastes kind of like fruit punch and it REALLY makes you feel full. Somedays I forget to eat supper because I'm not hungry. GOOD LUCK! You can do it!
