Visiting family. Found a scale. I've lost 7 lbs during the challenge. Woot! Also, I fell while moving things around and bruised up the whole left side of myself, I'm very lucky to not be in the hospital, if my hubby hadn't been there to stop a box f…

Ok, so I'm going to start with the bad news. This past week I've eaten out every single day. Oh yeah, it was bad. We(hubby and myself) spent every day at the condo trying to clean it out(the county siezed it on 12-08 and we have 30 days to vacate) a…

I will start at the beginning of your reply. I know something has to give. For the last month, it has been connor's playdates, which he's not all that happy with me about. And I'm not all that happy about either, since his playmate's mom and I are v…

Wow, this is a lot for any mere mortal to handle.. That, however is why you have been endowed with the super powers that every women has, LOL. No seriously, for me, when it gets like this, i just take a look at what on the schedule has to give. You…

So, I'm a stay at home mom, a full time house keeper, nanny, chauffer, and gourmet cook (want to challange me on that? I invite anyone of you over for dinner who thinks I'm not :D). And on top of all that, I'm a full time student with a 4.0. Basical…

as for this traiterous brain, I have no idea what we're going to do. It's horrible. It teases me something fierce! You know that point you get to where you've been doing so so so well for so long on a diet, and then you walk past something in the gr…

Fabulous, Rene! This group has helped alot also. Every time I want to have that extra portion, I think of this group and think about having to confess and then I don't take it. I fell off the wagon last night. I was up late working on school work an…

I haven't been able to weigh myself because our nifty new scale who's batteries are supposed to last forever, died, and we can't find a battery to fit in it yet. But I'm thinner. My shirts are fitting better, even straight from the drier, and i'm we…

Bye Bye Baby!

Connor has gone away to my parents before, but for some reason yesturday's leaving took my by surprise. My cousin and her mother showed up Friday so my cousin could visit a college near us. She'll be graduating with her BA in Psychology soon and she wants to go on to get her ABA in it and the college she wants to go to is very close to where we live. Anyway, after touring the campus she came back to our place for lunch and asks if she can take Connor up to Green Bay until Wednesday. On Wednesday… Continue

A woman's week at the Gym--Enjoy!

For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My daughter seemed pleased wi… Continue

Motivation and UHT milk

As you may or may not know, my son has issues. I mean that in a completely loving way. This past year has been nothing but one big learning moment for my family because of it. We've changed quite a few of the time honored parenting methods because they just don't work for connor and have had to buck the societal norms like no other to make life easier for all of us. But it's not over yet. Now we're facing the nutritional crazed people. Everyone, including the therapists, doctors, and even the na… Continue

A day off....

Friday!!! Yay! It's my day off. Connor is at daycare today for his weekly socialization and playtime. Some people think I'm silly to keep paying for daycare when I'm home, but he needs to play with kids his own age and I need to have time away from him, so every friday morning I wake up early and tote his little behind to daycare.

And for the first time in 6 weeks, I actually have today off, completely. I don't have chores to do or homework that piled up. I have had such a productive week that… Continue

School, Transmissions, and therapists

First let me start by saying....*screams* ARG!!!!!!!!!!

Ok now that that is off my chest I feel alot better. Well not really, but at least I don't feel like screaming anymore. This week has been one of those weeks that has me flabergasted. To start, I'm going to school completely online so everything that we have to do has to be done online. In my paralegal class we have been assigned to teams and our first team project is to decide who will be the team leader for each of the next 5 units and w… Continue
