It's MAY...and the first Saturday in May is always the Kentucky Derby. Which means the first Friday is Oaks Day...the phillies run for the lillies. We have never been to either of these horse races and are not really into it. Neither Rambo nor myself are from here originally. Some of the locals go all out Derby Weekend, others leave town and get the heck out! Lots of tourists and celebrities fly in for the KY Derby. All the local radio and TV stations are Derby this and Derby that. I will be glad when it clams down a bit.
May also brings our son's birthday. Our Cinco de Mayo baby! This year my baby boy turns 18!!! Wholly cow, where does the time go?!? I thought it was bad when our daughter turned 20 this past January, but this is my baby...the youngest...TURNING 18! You know that this momma will be having a margarita or three on that day. :)
Whew!!! What a week. This whole insurance claim thing for the roof is pretty stressing. Much of it is a hurry up and wait thing. I hate waiting! Finally heard back from the insurance co about our roof. The mortgage co finally did their part with the first check and now I'm hoping that the roofing co will be able to begin work shortly. I also plan on hiring someone to repair and paint at least 2 ceilings in the house and more than likely paint the ceilings in the stairways. I'm a clutz and it would just be bad, bad, bad me falling down the stairs with a roller full of paint. hahahahah
As for my weight loss; I have managed to maintain this week, which I will take as a victory. Stressing out about things that I have no control over is silly and I try not to do it as much as possible. Sometimes this whole being a responsible adult thing really stinks. It stinks even more when I am doing it solo. Rambo is off doing his thing and I am here holding down the fort, and trying to make sure that the roof of said fort does not cave in on us.
Ahhhh, no rest for the wicked......Wicked Stitch that is! :D
