Day 124 of 1000 (no scale, but will weigh and post when I return home – 212.5 lbs.  Ouch but better than I thought)

Today, the kids and I will go shopping, just the three of us.  It should be a lot of fun.  This is not a normal year for me, as if any year is a “normal” year.  The job transition takes a lot of time and I will have to work and drive during much of the holiday.  I am glad Grandpa Lauro and Grandma Conchita are here.  We enjoy them a lot and it is nice for the family when I am so busy.  Hopefully it will all smooth out before too long.
