Dear Diary Tuesday...

Oh yesterday was CRAZY...but a great day. I managed to stay away from MOST sugars and kept to my Weight Watcher lifestyle. The only thing I had that I shouldn't have...and is going to take me awhile to ween myself from it, was a Diet Coke. Other than that, I did GREAT. I did not manage to make it to the gym and ended up having to spend some quality time at my folks house. Oh yeah, let me fill you in on that little episode.

Work has been insane so I ended up taking some work home to do, which I know I can do much faster at home because of less interuptions. I went home, fed the cats, let the dogs outside, and ran to my folks house to check on them. They were doing okay, but my Dad looked kind of bad. I asked if he was okay, because I figured he was tired from the non-stop amount of visitors he had yesterday AND the home health physical therapist, and he looked at me with this incredibly sad look and said, "Yes honey, I am doing fine....I just missed you yesterday and today." Way to break a daughters heart.....

So, I ran back home, took care of the animals, got all of my brough home work done in one hour.....and ran back over to my folks house....just in time for the Relief Society to show up with a whole bunch of food! Anyways, I hung out and got them all settled in and fed for dinner, cleaned up the kitchen, got my Mom into a hot tub of water with some baking soda because she is COVERED in hives and just needed a few moments to herself, sat down with my Dad and looked over some seed magazines so we can start ordering what we want to plant this Spring, and got them both ready for bed (that involves getting their beds turned down and the house REALLY obnoxiously warm)...and they loved every single moment of it. I left them with absolutely nothing to do the rest of the night other than to relax in front of the TV and calm their nerves and spirits. I know I am going to have to make a much larger effort to spend QUALITY time with them, versus just QUANTITY...and yesterday really proved to me that there is a difference.
