Today is Eric’s 9th birthday. We didn’t do a whole lot because his party is on Saturday, but I did let him open one of the smaller gifts I got him. It wasn’t anything overly big, but he loved it. I guess that just shows how well I know my kiddo, lol. It was a small Lego Star Wars set, and he has been playing with it since he got home from school. He wanted t-bone for dinner tonight, as his “birthday dinner” so we went and picked up a fat t-bone from the grocery store and some stuff for baked potatoes. He loves that stuff.
I can’t believe my son is already 9 years old. I can still remember very vividly the first time I saw him, held him, and looked into his eyes. He was and still is so beautiful. I sometimes can’t believe I’m so blessed. I know I complain sometimes about certain things, but I think everyone complains sometimes. It’s just in our nature, isn’t it? I mean just seeing him smile and making him happy is the highlight of my day. And that’s all that I need. I live for that smile.
This morning when he got out of the car and ran to the bus, like every other morning, I just watched him carrying his little lunch bag and heading off to school and it made me smile. I couldn’t help think to myself how proud I am of him. He’s growing up to be a really wonderful young man and I love watching him grow. I thank God for blessing me with Eric every day of my life.

I saw this really cool exercise thing that I want to get. I was hinting at Chris to perhaps get it for me for Christmas, but he seemed to think it was a stupid idea. It’s this deal that you use kind of like an exercise bike but it’s just the pedals and I guess you sit in a regular chair and use it. It seems cool, for someone like me with a small apartment who doesn’t have the space for an entire bike. Chris kind of laughed and said why didn’t I get some diet pills or fat burner or something. I really didn’t see the humor though. I really want this machine and I’m seriously hoping to get it. It’s only about $80.00 at JCP, so maybe I can talk him into it. Or maybe I’ll just buy it for myself!

All this talk about the holidays, the exercise machine I want, and dieting in general reminded me that my mom told me the other day that she’s lost 15 pounds. She’s really excited about it because she’s been struggling with losing weight for quite some time now. She’s been using Lipovox, and apparently for her it works. I’ve heard that it doesn’t work for everyone, so I guess she’s one of the lucky ones. My mom used to be super thin and really beautiful. As she got older though, she gained quite a bit of weight and has had trouble getting it to come off with just diet and exercise alone. That stuff really isn’t for me, but she’s thrilled and I guess that’s all that matters.
