We're Almost There...

Thank goodness that moving day is almost here for Mother and Ned. We move furniture tomorrow....them on Sunday. She was difficult early this week, was happy yesterday, and in the past several hours has been all over the place. About 5:00 PM, we called her and she was sobbing.

Right after that I ate three quarters of a medium pan pizza. Pizza delivery is a wonderful thing.

About 8:00 PM she called us. She and Ned were in disagreement about what day of the week it is. Ned was trying to tell her that it is Friday and she was insistant that it was Thursday. Ned wins.


Right after that I found a box of cake mix and a tin of cocoa in the pantry, baked a sheet cake with homemade chocolate frosting and ate a 5 by 5 square right out of the middle.

9:45...Ring Ring...Yes, mother...it is Friday.


I looked through the cabinets and refrigerator but honestly, I don't think I can eat another thing...

On a more upbeat note, Lorelai and I had a shopping day yesterday and were joined about midway through by her roommate Nancy. They LOVE to have their pictures taken. Needless to say, it will be a few weeks before I do any spring clothes shopping. I have to "lose" the pizza and cake!

  7. Once the move itself is over, at least you won't have to worry about that part of the trauma again!

    I go for hot fudge sundaes myself!

  10. Lorelai and Nancy look cute in their hats.

    I can relate all too well to stress eating. I am sitting hear with my jeans undone (if that sounds creepy-sorry), because I refuse to buy new pants in my current size.

    Everything will work out well. The getting there part sure has been bumpy. Best of luck on the moving.
