I think I woke up around 11:30pm last night but it could have been midnight. I ended up staying up all night. Hubby said he was going to wake me up after a few hours but ended up leaving me sleep. Probably a good thing really, it gave him and his mom and the kids time to hang out without me. Not that it would have been bad with me but it was her last night here and I'm sure she enjoyed her time with just them.
My mother-in-law headed out this morning around 7:15. My nephew took her to meet her stepdaughter for the drive back to Kentucky. She has a long day ahead of her. I hope it's a quick trip for them though it's about 10 hours.
My visit with her wasn't as good as I had hoped but not as bad as it could have been. Just sometimes we don't meld together as well as other times. Seems visits to her house go better. I'm sure part of it was just me not feeling all that good and taking things more personal. I usually let things roll off me better.
Anyway, I have the house back to just us and maybe I can relax and enjoy some down time. I got out and took a 2 mile walk today. I wrapped myself up with the ace bandage and it went pretty good. My knee was hurting a little but I'm sure that's because I haven't been taking my arthritis meds. I wasn't sure how they would do with the pain meds but I haven't taken any of those for several days now so think I need to get back to my knee meds.
Easter went good yesterday, we got up around 8 with the kids so they could have their baskets. Hubby did great with the basket stuff. He got all the candy I don't really like so there wasn't anything calling my name all day. I got the nephew's Birthday cake baked early and then we had the Easter egg hunt for the younger two. In the afternoon I made the lasagna and we had dinner around 5pm. All the standing in the kitchen had me pretty warn out so after playing some rock band with the family by 7 or so is when I ended up taking my marathon nap.
I've definitely got my sleep schedule all screwed up. Hopefully I can straighten it out this week. It will just be the boy and girl with me this week since the nephew goes back to school tomorrow. It will be nice just having us. Hopefully the girl and boy will not fight all week lol. Maybe it will be nice and sunny and we can go to the park or something one or two of the days. I'm allowed to drive after 2 weeks the doctor said so that's tomorrow.
My food yesterday wasn't as good as it had been but not super terrible. I did have a piece of Birthday cake and a big old square of lasagna with a few slices of garlic bread. It was all yummy and I totally enjoyed it. I felt good about my food considering how it could have went with all that's in the house. I'm hoping today goes as well with all the leftovers. Hopefully the cake will go quickly between the kids.
I've been putting away plenty of fiber but I'm still having bathroom issues lol. Not sure why everyone needs to know that but I'm sharing anyway.
Well I guess I better get off here.
Till later...
Where did I get that outfit? lol

I'm glad your household will be going back to "normal". :-) We are having our own issues with the MIL so I can imagine that a week with another alpha female can be tough. lol
Good for you for taking that walk, I need to get back into that, it was so enjoyable.
Your lunch sounded awesome and it sounds like you enjoyed yourself and practiced moderation. :-) Keep up the good work.
I don't know if you are getting your fiber from actual food or not. But taking Citracel for the first couple of months after my GB surgery helped tremendously.
Too bad about the MIL visit. I had a feeling that might happen. I was hoping you wouldn't do too much, trying to make her visit the best ever. Take it easy. Great news about the walk. Keep inspiring me!
Hooray for being rid of your MIL! Glad to hear you had a good Easter :)
I am so impressed by your twomiles. Honestly, you inspire me to be hopeful.
In-law relationships can be tricky sometimes. Glad that you can have things back to normal, will probably be easier for you to rest!
My visit with her wasn't as good as I had hoped but not as bad as it could have been.
that totally defines my MIL visits as well. completely.
hows the knee this morning after your 2 milers yesterday?
here's to a good rest of your week with SLEEP CLEAN FOOD AND EXERCISE.
:)
Dawn - I'm so glad you're feeling better, and glad your mother-in-law has gone home. I thought she was there to help you, but sounds like you were still on your feet cooking Easter dinner. (hmmm...shame on her...she should have been your servant while she was there :).
Anyway, continue to take good care of yourself. Sounds like you're well on your way to getting getting back to yourself.
I do love my MIL, I didn't mean to make her sound terrible. I just wasn't myself either while she was. My MIL has MS so she's pretty down and out some days too. She wasn't here to take care of me her visit had been planned before I found out I needed my gallbladder out.
As for Easter dinner it was also my nephew's Birthday so I wanted to make his favorite meal. My MIL would have cooked had I wanted her to.
I sure hope she never finds my blog lol.
