clothing giveaway/baby/laundry/eating/diet/exercise

I did not keep up with calories today,  so much going on and I started feeling so tired and just wrung out. 
I did get in a bit of walking and my pedometer steps was5494.  I think that was pretty good for the little bit of time that I actually spent on my feet.

This morning dh and I went to a local church for a clothing giveaway and swap.  I took a huge bag of clothes to donate, some from my grandson, and some from dh and some from me.  I also had some things that were given to me.  Some of those were way toooooo big and some were not my type of clothes and some were toooooo little.  When I took the clothes in I looked around and I picked up for myself about 8 pullover tops and several dress tops several pairs of pants and a few silky chinese looking robes.  I also got about 6 towels that were in very good condition and a set of sheets and a few shirts for my grandson. 

Dh and I gave so much things because we know that there are people in that city that are living in tents and in cars.  The econonmy is terrible and people are hungry and need clothes and shoes .  We never expected to leave with so much stuff.  I have lost so much weight that my clothes were beginning to just hang on me.  We gould not afford for me to replace my clothes so I was still wearing them.  NOW God has blessed us and next month we can take in some of the things that are too big for me.  

Dh also got some work shirts,  You see when you give God gives back to you.   God sees our needs and He provides.  We are so blessed by His love and grace and His forgiveness. 

On the way back home we stopped at our dds house and picked up the baby and brought him back to our house.  I sure do enjoy him being here.  My mom did not want anything to do with her grandchildren,  I never could understand it.  I understand it even less now that I have my own grandchildren---they are the smile on my face.  Even though I still feel a little weak from the bladder infection,  I  played a good deal with grandson.  But I only got on the floor with him one time.  It was a pain trying to get up  and I made sure I did not do that again. 

I did not have much of an appetite today.   I ate a fairly healthy lunch ,  and then I did not want anything to eat for my dinner.  I only ate a little blueberries for a midafternoon snack.   Usually I can eat no matter how bad I feel.  But for soem reason today my appetite was gone completely.

Thats it

Sleep well everyone
God bless
