Quick Update on Mama

Right after I wrote my post, I got the call from my mom....

Everything was going to be okay!!

She had some slight bleeding behind her eye, but it was not a Blood clot. She will not be having surgery, nor be blind. Nor would she be any fear. The cloudiness she was experiencing was just due to age, the same with the floaters in her eyes. They should go away soon. If in a couple of months it does not, then she will have to go back to the doctors.

For now, she is healthy and okay.

And we are so blessed and happy.

No more worrying. I was scared for 18 hours straight. I can not lose my mother or have anything wrong with her. When you get a phone call like that and you are 1300 miles away, it seriously makes you sick and crazy. I know it is my choice to live this far away and I wouldn't have it any other way, but it does not mean it sucks, sucks real bad when bad things happen.

Since my father passed and I got that dreaded phone call, I fear all phone calls, unexpected from my family. And when my Aunt called the other day, I felt like my world was crumbling down and it was happening all over again. I just couldn't shake the feeling.

Thankfully we are all okay and it was just a scare. But it made me realize how much I really, truly love my mother. Sure we fight, argue and yell at each other from time to time, but I can not imagine my world with out her. She makes me laugh, gives good advice, and loves me unconditionally, did I mention she makes me laugh. We may not see each other as much as we like too, but I need my mother more than ever.

Losing my father devastated me because we were so close. I relied on him for everything. Losing my father also brought my mother and I together closer and she is all I have left out of our 3 person family, even though we were broken for sometime. I love my mother more than anything and times like this, when a scare comes about, cherish those people, because anything can happen in an instant.

Love you Mama

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
