Back from Florida and back to reality

The plane trips to and from Florida were non-eventful.  A little bumpy at times, but nothing to get excited about.  Dad is improving, but he's also getting cocky.  He thinks he can do stuff, and even lies to various therapists about it.  No, he still can't get in and out of bed w/o assistance.  No, he can't use the toilet w/o assistance.  No, he can't get dressed w/o assistance.  Luckily, Mom found an angel, L, who is a certified care giver, and sits with Dad 3 days a week and runs him through his exercises.  She also gives Mom a much needed break.  Dad is an ornery cuss, always has been, but now he's just plain obnoxious.  He really is running Mom ragged, even with L to give Mom some breathing room.  I didn't really help much with Dad, but I was able to give Mom some much needed support and TLC.

Back to real life.  #2 daughter has 2 more classes left at the local community college.  Then a week off, and then it's back to her real school.  Yes, it's time for her to go back.  Will I miss her, yes, but will I miss her crap all over the house?  NO!  So, basically we've got a week to get her packed and pick up whatever she might be missing, as far as art supplies go.

Onto to WW.  I came home in time to weigh in at my regular meeting.  And I was down 0.8!  Woo Hoo!  So, now my next short term goal is 179, which means that I will no longer be medically obese!  Hubby is almost at that goal.  He is looking fine!  His birthday is tomorrow, and with every thing else going on, I'm going to have to scramble to get him a card.  If it's not one thing, it's something else!
