Woo Hoo!

Well, Paul is now in Utah and David and I are having a grand time!  David is doing great:  taking the dog out, did all my dishes, vacuumed, made me dinner, etc.  I say, "Can you put your shoes away?"  And he says:  "Yes mommy."  OMG!!!  What the heck happened?  OK, I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth.  Just trying to figure out why all of a sudden he is the perfect child!  He did great in karate last night.  we went to Arby's for dinner and he said thank you and I love you!  He has been such a good boy!  I am letting him play Wii Mario Kart as a treat now.  I am going to take him to the movies Sunday with my Mom to see Up.  I had to go to a fire this AM and took him with me and he just sat in the car and watched the portable dvd player.  I had such a headache last night and he cleaned all over the place!  I couldn't have really done a better job myself.  Then he walks around with his shoes off and says "No more wearing shoes in the house.  I just cleaned the floor."  This truly is one of those "pinch me" days.  I just had to bump up the smiley.  The weather is 76, sunny and a nice light breeze.  The drive this am was beautiful around in farm country.  We stopped off at Wawa to get me a large coffee and David some blue fruit punch kind of a drink.  And all day I am just over and over thanking God for my many blessings!   Paul really needed to go away for a few days I think.  He will be out in Utah and Yellowstone and taking pictures and driving around and missing us and I have to say, that is just the best thing right now for all of us.  Dr wants to change his meds.  I think he was on some generic form of Paxil or Zoloft and didn't think it was working?  Dr told him to take Adderall XR, and yesterday he was just plain nasty and stressed out.   Even with the Arby's sandwich, I am doing OK with food.  Still praying for 2 lbs this week.  I went to the Y yesterday and got in my 3rd workout for the week.  Did over 11,000 steps yesterday and 13,000 steps on Wednesday.  So exercise this week is good. Could not get out this am as I can't leave David home alone, but I will take the puppy out for a walk later and get in my 35+ minutes.  Put the furniture back in the sunroom last night with my new rug.  Looks good.   So for today, life is good.  Should be nice and quiet for the next few days.  No stress.  So I am expecting David to be good.  And, I was supposed to be in court all day Monday, and got a call today that the case settled.  Woo Hoo!  Now I get an unexpected office day.  Can it be that I am over the hump?
