A Good Morning

So, two great things happened this morning:
1. I woke up and realized that Parker only got up ONCE last night. And that once I just lay down next to him and he went back to sleep. That is AMAZING. And by far the best night we've had in a really long time. The reason he even woke up that once? The train. At 1 a.m. laying on his horn. %$#%^%$^&%&%%#$@#$@! But, the break through that proceeded this blessed night of restfulness? I literally got down on my knees and prayed. So I am very grateful this morning. And a tad bit more rested.
2. I put on my stretchy yoga pants and they didn't disgust me! Granted they don't look as good as they did in college, but they are comfortable and they''re not gross. So again, very grateful.
Last night I had taco johns for supper. I know, I know, that doesn't have any place in my diet, but it's what Mike wanted to eat. And I'm trying to do better at loving my husband, and if that's what it takes, then I will "sacrifice" a lb. or two to make him happy. That's not to say that I don't like Taco John's too, it's just really calorie loaded and put me over my limit yesterday. Like Mom says, there are lots of different reasons that we eat, and I did not eat at Taco Johns because of a lack of control, but just as a choice.
A new thing I'm trying is called "Truvia;" it's a no calorie natural sweetener. Made from Stevia, it's away to sweeten tea and such without the calories or chemicals that are in normal calorie free things. It made my Chai this morning really yummy. It's a tad bit expensive, but I don't think I'll use it too quickly. And I found a great coupon at www.shopathome.com
