Welcome to the Sandwich Generation

I've done okay this week but I think its mostly because I've been at a distance, its easier to forget or deny something when it isn't in front of your face the whole time. We will see how I do after visiting for Mother's Day.

My dad (who lives 14 hours away from me) has been having problems of his own and now he is back in the ER and I'm waiting to hear what is going on.

With my parents so far apart in age I figured that the impact of their health issues would be spread out, Dad would go through it first and I would go through it with him, he eventually would pass and then my mom would start having her issues. It never occurred to me that they would both have major health issues at the same time. It's funny, in a not laughable sort of way, my 85 year old grandmother is in better health than both of them!

I got back on the weight watchers wagon this week although yesterday I was thinking about committing a crime to get a cookie. Today though....I'm afraid I am going to fall off of the wagon again. We are taking our daughter to the drive in and someone a nice big bowl of broccoli doesn't sound like a great movie snack. Despite cheating I am still losing weight albeit more slowly than I would if I didn't cheat but I can live with that.
