Homesick….
I’ve had a wonderful morning! I woke up late – drank a few cups of coffee (with awesome holiday creamers!! yum!!), read some Mathew (my favorite gospel) and talked to my siblings all morning. I’m so homesick. I’m not so homesick for LA – I think. More I’m homesick for my family! I talked to Mike for an hour….Rock is pregnant again! That will be Mike’s 6th kid!!! Michael just got laid off yesterday… things are tough but he’s so not worried. It sort of humbles me. He said to me, “life’s journey IS the destination, sister”. He is trusting in the Lord.
It kind of amazes me, when you think of the stats. Maritza is laid off, Silvia got laid off (her last day is the 8th), Willie has been out of work for a while (though his wife Lisa is working), Jr. is working – thank God, Michael is laid off, David is working, Corey is working, Dee Dee is laid off, Kelly and David Downing are working, Daniel is laid off and so am I. Out of 12 – only 5 of us are working. If that isn’t a replica of the “current economic climate” I don’t know what is.
Silvia is doing okay for now…and it was nice to talk to her too. They are getting together tomorrow for a BBQ because the 29th was Daniel’s birthday and the 5th is Christian’s. I want to be there!! I want to hang out with my brothers and sisters and joke around and feel love and feel….wanted.
Monday I start school. I’m looking forward to that. I’ve really been off on my diet this week…I need to hop back in. I haven’t been going over my calorie count – except yesterday – but I have been journal-ling. I really can tell a difference when I journal. I also have not been working out as much. I need to make a workout calendar for October. I’m kind of worried about what my workout schedule is going to look like after I am spending time in school. Between working out, studying, and actually going to class…my days are going to be pretty busy. I’m sort of excited about that though…its been a while since I was that busy.
I think we are heading to Cinatopia for Zombieland! 
That should be fun. And it will be a Sunday so you bet your butt i’m getting popcorn.
And, if i’m going to get any calorie burn in today, I better get on it!
xo,
