I finally got a band date of July 22.......I was so depressed at how long it was taking BCBS to approve this and the couple of screw-ups they had made, but all things happen for a reason I guess....Some good some bad. This was a good one. I go on vacation on the 23rd and I can have the whole week to myself and recuperate in private. You see I do home day care and I was concerned about what I would say to parents as to why I couldn't really move to well. My home is a crazy place during the week with 10 kids around. I really wouldn't have much time to myself at all. Now I don't have to be concerned. My DH's reaction was that it was too bad it was vacation. No lobster at the beach...no steamers at the pier. I told him it didn't matter. I have been on 40 + vacations at the beach and this time I will be more concerned with the ocean view and sounds of people having fun, the smell of the salt air and the peacefulness of the waves. I will not be pre-occupied with my next meal. This will be my last summer as a fat person (God willing) and I will spend time reflecting on that. I AM SO HAPPY I WANT TO SCREAM!!!!!!
