Candy Laxatives, WD 40 and my husband's ex-wife

Ok

Back up a month.

I started Weight Watchers again.

A couple of years ago I joined and was pretty successful at it.

Then life, an operation and some other stuff happened and I didn't go back.

And slowly (well not EXACTLY slowly)

I gained it back.

Well some/most of it.

But I am not going to bore you with that whole month.

Wednesday night,

let's start with that.

I have WW meeting and I buy some of the oatmeal

and these little candies.

Cappucino

And they are good,

Really good.

I eat a couple on the way home from the meeting.

You can have six for one point.

That's a lot of sweet!

Thursday AM

I try the oatmeal.

It is also good.

I pick up Kendall for her weekly day with MaMa.

I have a couple candies.

Go to work.

I have a couple more.

Noon Thursday.

Not to be indelicate,

and so many of my posts involve poop...

But let's just say that much of Thursday afternoon was spent in the bathroom.

Lots of Thursday afternoon.

Take Kendall home at 6:30

and the 20 mile drive back home

is a real fast one looking for another bathroom.

Friday AM

The boys have no school.

How in the world did we survive the entire summer with both of them at work?

I have no idea.

Today was a little testy.

But we survived.

Sort of.

A couple of bumps and bruises,

a few meltdowns.

A trip to the Bent and Dent.

and then.

I went to pick up my laptop.

You see

I was to speak at the church tonight.

Report at the Ladies Tea

on our West Virginia trip.

But I am getting ahead of myself.

I needed my laptop to show a slide show.

and

when I picked it up,

it was all greasy.

The boys apparently sprayed it

and some other stuff..

with

WD 40.

Not a public speaker as a rule.

I was a little nervous anyway.

and

I have a cold.

Runny nose,

Coughing,

Hoarse

Cold.

I clean the laptop

I go home a little early.

JWS sends me a text.

It goes like this.

"I just ate one of your WW candies and I was reading the label

and

apparently these can work as a laxative."

Now you might think

"Oh that explains yesterday's bathroom issues."

But I am thinking.

"OMG, I HAVE TO TALK AT THE CHURCH TONIGHT

AND

HOW MANY OF THOSE DID I EAT TODAY????!!!!"

I get cleaned up,

I go to the church.

I set up the computer

still reeking of WD40.

I am still a little nervous.

The lady gets up to announce that I am here.

and

she calls me by my husband's ex-wife's name!!!!

Been awhile since I had one of these days...
