My mom offered to help our vehicle with very little brakes make it to her house by driving it so she can get it fixed. My husband said it was his truck either it was to be towed or it wont happened. Instead continuing to argue between them we caught Talan asleep i gave her the keys and my brother Tom followed her home. If Talan asks it was towed. Sometimes a little white lie is better than arguing with the husband. If mom offers to help us fix it i find a way to reach a compromise! God knows with Talan’s $60 paycheck due to recent illness this week we cant afford it.

Someone wants to but Talan’s subaru said it is a classic car worth some money. Talan was tempted by the $2000 offered i reminded him if he gets rid of the Subaru with the bravada and sonoma broke down we couldnt drive ourselves with work cause no car! He isnt bothered cause they pick him up at his house. I was upset reminding him i need drove to work!

I stayed at mom’s house yesterday. While there we ate dinner. She fell asleep so i got permission to borrow her truck to run chores for mom. I also took mom’s dog Chloe with me because Chloe enjoys riding in vehicles. I took my brother Tom to work. I checked my mail i drove mom around a little while she nagged me once more he reasons why i need to work at the hospital. While she sat with Chloe in the truck i bought cat food and cat litter for my cats. I want to start painting with Bob Ross following his Joy of Painting tv show. I bought my needed supplies.

I stayed at mom’s house late enjoying her company. We often talk about Dad and how much We miss him. Mom began talking about how dad’s insurance was lost by hospital and how she had to pay cash for dad’s funeral. I saw life insurance sent to me in mail for me and my husband. I siggested mom sign up for that insurance in case ARH loses her life insurance too. There is no way i could afford a nice funeral for her! Mom is 67 independent and fiesty as much as i want her to i know mom wont life forever. I often cry thinking i could be without her. I love her but she drives me nuts.

Once the truck is fixed i hope i wont be so dependant on others for rides. I hate asking people for help but when Talan is at work i have no choice but have someone drive me. God knows i cant afford a taxi.

I want to start collecting money to purchase a house instead living in the mobile home park. It isnt a bad place. Rent is only $275 but i rather put that down as part of a house payment. I think i am going to get a 2nd job. First job pay for the bills the 2nd to save for a house! This wont be instant. It might take me years but it will be worth it. I have such big dreams to be as poor as i am!

I am 200 pounds wear size 16s. I am 32 years old. I am trying to build myself up to do marathon running. Right now i walk to warm up and run till tired. I told my mom my plan for her to tell me i am to old and fat to do marathon running only healthy people do that. look i know i am out of shape but any attempt to be healthy should be rewarded not criticized. She says i cant run till i lose weight it is to hard on the body.. how else do you lose weight be exercise.. any advice?

Walking is really a great way to exercise. You can walk at a really good clip and you will be surprised at how tired you can get doing so....

There is also a couch to 5K app that you can put on your phone that helps you build up to a 5K. A friend did that and she loved it. I think it's free also.

My daughter just did a half marathon. I was at the 9 mile point watching for her and it was amazing to see the people who were running, or walking, or whatever it took. There were people who looked so overweight you would have imagined they never got up off the couch. There were people with artificial legs, and a girl with no arms. There were people who looked like they were in their 70's. It was just an amazing mix of people and I was so impressed. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something!
