A Melt Down
Friday, May 18th 2007
So my mother had a stroke on my wedding day almost 5 years ago. But even before that it was touch and go that she would come to my wedding. I worked on her all summer. OK getting married later in life (at 48) you know your parents are older (my mom was 79 and my father was 80 at the time). But what mother doesn't want to see their daughter married? Even through their pains, a mother would want to be there right? Well, my mother fought me every step of the way and I did everything to help he...Blog = My Journal

I know no one is reading this, but that's OK. It's therapy for me. This combined with keeping track of everything I eat and moving my XXL butt every now and then has been a big help.

OK so yesterday turned into a bad day. After going to see the movie "Waitress," my husband jokingly said "He wanted pie" for dinner. We laughed and then agreed on Greek food. We headed to Tarrytown, NY where there is a Greek Restaurant that we heard good things about. We were nearby, so what the heck. How bad could that be, I asked myself.
