Christmas Spirit!

So don't get me wrong. I still have mine. I was just loosing a little faith here lately. It seems that things are crashing down. Even a few minor things, can feel like something huge, when they all fall at once. Seems to happen to us at least once a year. Never fails. Things go great for a while, then bam, it all falls down. Well, once again, this year, it started to do so. SO many things. I won't go into complete details. But our closest friends know. 

Then today. I get a knock at the door. Someone from the school asks me if I was Massey, Dallas and Andrews momma. I said yes (hesitant, thinking they might be in trouble LOL) She says that she has a few things for us. Boxes of food and Christmas presents for the kids. WOW. I was shocked. Couldn't believe it. Just as my spirit was slipping. An angel shows up at our door! They brought in some canned/boxed goods, and a bag of presents for the kids. Said Merry Christmas and went bout their business. I stood there and cried for almost an hour while I sorted through things to put in the cabinet! The Christmas spirit in some people is amazing! 

I've always been pleased with our decision to get the kids into Crest Schools. Its a very supportive community, great teachers, awesome sports teams. And everyone is there for everyone else. But this just blew me away. Never expected it... And just made my opinion of them much higher. 

So as far as the weightloss goes. I am in my second week. Didn't weigh today. But my appetite is decreasing. I still love food don't get me wrong. But I am not eating near as much. Working out a little in the mornings. Trying not to do anything too strenuous, or that would make me hurt like hell later. Helping hubby where I can with firewood. And trying to keep the house clean (you wouldn't believe how many calories house cleaning burns! LOL) I'm going to start with several mini goals. My mini goals are going to be 10 pounds at a time. I want to get down to 280 right now. Then I will head for 270, and so on. Hopefully someday I will be down to 200. I don't want to get any smaller then that. As tall as I am, and as widely boned as I am, I think I would quite literally look ill that way.

So today has been a rather well day. Off to take care of the kiddos.
