Hi All,

The Holidays are coming up.  Did anyone see the commercial for Hallmark, where the daughter is trying to give her mom a card, then in the end it shows the card and it says something about how much she appreciated her mom...that's where I had my first, probably of many, breakdowns this holiday season.  I can't tell my mom how much I appreciate her anymore.  What a shitty shitty feeling.  Even thinking about it now to write about it hurts.  

My weight loss is sort of at a stand still.  Well, kind of.  I am being a lot more consistent with my workouts, but now I can't get my eating under control!  It seems like whenever I get one out of control, the other goes out of balance!  I think it would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating.  Maybe I need to plan better?  make a list?  a schedule?  Has anyone else dealt with this before and what did you do to overcome it?

Finally, the job search.  I received a phone call from a potential job saying that the person they had hired had already moved up, and would I still be interested in being considered.  Of course, I said yes.  I heard back from my references that they had been contacted and I called the person there last week and learned that they had contacted my previous supervisor.  So, hopefully things are moving along.   I'm wondering if I haven't heard anything yet because they are waiting for my background check to come in?  Does anyone know anything about how long background checks take to come back?

So that's about it that's going on.  I'm still here, still alive and kicking.  The dog and cat are still here, hubby's still here.  :)  I look forward to hearing from ya'll!
