Day Fifty

And the weigh-in says..............240 lbs...........too much bread. As you can tell, I love bread. I am on the road this week to Richmond VA for three days of training. Salads, fish, salads fish etc. I will keep you up to date with how I do.

I apologize for the needless weigh-in suspense. Suzanne was out of town as you know. Lets just say the single parenthood is for no sane person. You know there is a real reason why our great grandparents married quickly after they lost a spouse. The threat of insanity. Ha Ha.

Literally you lose your mind when you are outnumbered. You need two parents to help in the battle. And if you are an ancestry scientist like myself, you will note that often times the grandparents lived with the families.

When I looked at the craziness of our modern lives. That really makes more and more sense and we may end up going back to it if health care and social security go bankrupt. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have my mom, who has a tough time getting around, or my mother-in-law in my house. If nothing else they could play UNO with my kids while I make dinner. How simple is that. And I know that my little monsters would certainly reduce their fighting quota each day. Who wants to upset the grandma's who give them money and presents on their B-Days and Holidays plus they get to spoil them. I really would not mind it one bit.
