Yesterday I was doing the things I normally do around the house, and Jack surprised me by saying we were going out for lunch! We went to Rubio's for some good eats and it was really nice. He had fish tacos, beans and rice, and a Snapple Green Tea. I had a Balsamic-Roasted Vegetables and Chicken salad and an iced tea! We sat at a high little table by the window and the food was excellent! While we chatted, he mentioned that he's going to try to be more spontaneous for me, and I couldn't be happier! It was really sweet, and I am so proud of him. It takes a lot to change your way of doing things, but I think spontaniety is a wonderful trait and it add's so much to one's life and liveliness. I have always thought that variety is the spice of life and tried to do as many different things as possible. I am the same way with cooking, I like variety.
Now that we are older, we have to watch out diets, and seeing that I have heart disease, and he has pre-diabetic symptoms, like high blood sugar, we will be attending a class to learn about the changes we will have to make for him. We dealt with my heart attack and heart disease by changing our way of eating. We both worked and we'd come home at night and he'd stand in the kitchen making spaghetti sauce from scratch for me, and insisting on me eating only the healthiest of foods and we made sure we had the proper foods for me in the house. We all changed our ways of eating. We will do the same for him now. We recently started the DASH diet, and today I got on the internet and looked at diabetic foods. They are very similar and that is not a surprise as the DASH diet is probably one of the best I've ever been on. It has been a big hit and has so much to offer in the way of healthy eating and getting all the vitamins you need from your food choices. It's nice to know that we won't have to make too many changes to what we're doing.
Later in the day the grandkids were here. They are always here on Monday's and Tuesday's after school. They brought food for themselves, and that was nice. I usually give them something when they get here to hold them until it's time to have dinner. Kris was doing well, and playing with the I-Pad and the Video games we have. Angel did her homework and Venus kept busy with the I-Pad once Kris lost interest in it. Their Mom got here around 6:30 or 7:00. Sid took the girls and went to Michael's for some hobby things. I made dinner and Jack and Kris and I ate, and the girls ate when they got back from Michaels.
No matter what comes, we will face it together like we always do. We are a strong family and we help each other with life-changes and problems that crop up in everyday life. We stick together...we help each other...and we are going to face this together too. We have overcome so much in life, and we just keep ticking!
