My kids are actually taking a nap at the same time so I might just go join them. I think if I can sneak in a couple hours maybe I'll feel better when I wake up. Maybe? It is raining now so hopefully my son's game will be cancelled tonight. I would never tell him that but just crossing my fingers. He got his report card today and he made all A's and B's. I'm so proud of him. We've had a bit of trouble with him in the past but we put a lot of work into him and he has really been improving. Teacher said he was a good example for the other kids - making good grades, being on the BETA club and playing sports. Made me proud. I can't believe he'll be in the seventh grade next year. Scary.

Yeah the time goes so quickly. Sometimes I actually feel selfish because when I have to go to the mall with all the kids it makes me feel ancient. Afterall, I have my 16 yr old daughter, my 14 yr old brother, and then my 4yr old.... It is good you were able to turn your son around quickly and at such a young age. I went through a really rough patch with my daughter in the 7th and 8th grade and it was pure hell. Then she turned herself around (of course we tried our best to help her too) in high school. Thanks for your encouragement! It is great to get all this support! You are doing really well too and you are so focused it is great because it rubs off on everyone else too!

wish i could do something. It just hurts.

I am sorry to hear that. Try to go for a walk and blow off some of your steam and then maybe you can try to talk to Joe again so for his sake you are composed and calm... It is always a stressful experience dealing with mixed families...but very common... I know it is hard - just try not to let her push your buttons because that is exactly what she is trying to do - don't give her that satisfaction. You worry about you first.

thanks michelle,
played with my kids for a while i am starting to calm down. I just keep thinking about that poor little boy.
anyway, i have to take a shower and get ready for kayleigh's artshow at her pre school. she is so excited and i refuse to ruin it for her. she is so proud of what she has learned. thanks again. you are a great buddy

Have a great afternoon everyone. I took a long nap and I do feel a little better. I hope I can exercise by tomorrow. I'm off to my son's game. It wasn't cancelled even though we got a buttload of rain. Guess I'll just have to bring towels for the ride home. Of course, we are eating before we go so we can stay away from the unhealthy stuff at the game.

Howdy,
Our weather is crazy...went from hot 111( two days ago) to cold 66 today. Have Thunderstorm warnings for the whole night.

Had a great workout today, first played Basketball at school with the 7th.Grader, was Staff vs. Studens. WE WON
Then I went and played Racquetball for an hour.

I'm having bad cramps today , that means TOM is coming in the couple days.
I hated... . I'm PMS'ing yelling at everybody...
I hope everybody is having a great week.
~ Rebecca hope you're back to 100% tomorrow.

Talk to you all later !!!!

Good night everyone. I hope you all had a great day. I'm off to bed in the hopes that all this sleep will get me back in action with the exercise tomorrow. Nighty night!

Hey ladies!!! Yesterday seems like a crazy day for everyone. Yvette.. I hope everything works out okay for you! It is hard dealing with ex's!! Rebecca, I hope you are feeling better today, if not you better get your little but to the dr!!! I had a really crappy eating day, too much fast food.. I didn't hve enough time to paln any meals.. it was just go go go!! I will be happy to maintain this week! Luka...it looks like you have a cahnce to beat me on the points this week!!! Today is a new day, and I have a ton of stuff to do....please god don't let me eat totally crappy today!!!!! Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!!!

Good morning Everyone! Happy Friday! Man I can't wait until 2, so I can be on my weekend! My husband is lucky and has a 4 day weekend... not me, same ol same ol 2 days off One of the negatives of public safety... someone always has to be there. Oh well. I woke up at 2am today, for no reason... just layed there until 430 when I needed to get up. My sons are both sick, and my oldest might need to be tested for diabetes. Male juvenile diabetes runs in my family (although I didn't know that until a few months ago, it came from a grandfather that I don't speak to because he is a dirtbag) Anyway... Colby's been shaking every morning when he wakes up until he eats. He gets super grumpy when he is hungry, and is always better once he eats. SO we will see. Both boys are supposed to get shots today, but since they are sick I don't know if they will get them or not. So far we've been lucky and Colby hasn't had an asthma attack with this cold, he usually does. Keep your fingers crossed that he doesn't for us! The poor little man is having enough of a hard time right now! Anyway, I am feeling stressed out about him right now, worrying about weather or not I will have to give him daily shots and all that... but I've kept on track anyway this week. I am still maintaining at 159, hoping to lose it by tomorrow. We shall see. Well that's it for me now... hope you all have a great friday!!

Good Friday Morning Ladies! I am feeling a good bit better today. I still have a sore throat and my ears are all stuffy but I don't feel too bad if that makes any sense. I will try to do some light exercise today.

Christine- I hope your kids get well soon. I know how stressful it is when they are not well. I hope it works out with your oldest. That seems scary but it'll be okay.

Robyn - It's not too late to eat healthy today! No fast food hear me?!? Your body doesn't want that junk anyway. Give it the good stuff today.

I am one kid short this weekend. My oldest son Kyle went with my dad and my sister (the one that's 15) to New Orleans. They will spend the weekend fishing and eating boiled crabs and stuffed artichoke. Boo Hoo I want to go! They are also going to get a guy to haul some dirt on the site where our camp used to be on Lake Ponchatrain before Hurricane Katrina. Maybe we can start going there again this summer. I really miss it. I am glad my son is going. He did such a good job in school that he deserves a little break - away from me! LOL. That just leaves me, Nate and Maddie until about Tuesday. That means I don't have to cook a whole bunch!Maddie eats like a bird and Nathan is just one so he still eats baby stuff. Maybe I'll have another good weekend? Okay, now I'm rambling. I'll talk to ya'll later! Have a great day everyone!!!
