you need to get a product called "Chi" it's wonderful and really makes my curls look shiney and fabulous. I've got wicked curly hair and I just rock it now because this is the hair that I was given and i'm not doing anything else to stress out these follicles. ANDI

So, how we all doing with our eating plans? How was the dreaded evening? Did we make good choices? How is today going? I did pretty well yesterday, my only slip up was I drank a glass of cranberry juice then realized when I logged my food how many carbs it has (55)... Today, good so far. Had sashimi salad for lunch...yummy! I'm feeling strong in my conviction to stay on track...even down a few pounds...but don't want to jinx it....probably jus****er weight. Working out tonight, I think. Trish

Thanks for your kind words Andi There isn't anything that you can do to help. I have just been so compromised from these knee surgeries that all that I am supposed to have been doing these three months has come to a crisis point. I am feeling better but I am not anywhere near able to cope with this all now. Financially, I haven't been paying attention and this is now a huge problem. The government is late in paying what they owe me for caring for the kids, apparently while I was sick my student loans came due but I didn't see the notice (I am still going to school) so they have taken $1000 out of my account and rent is due. One of the things that is difficult in fostering kids with emotional problems is that I am not allowed to be compromised by anything because it brings up all sorts of abandonment issues and behaviours. I have a kid now who is making allegations against me that I make him pee in a bottle and won't feed him enough dinner and that I yell and swear at him all the time. I know that I have been irritable, but I have had staff in every day to care for the kids but apparently it is me that they want to be perky and happy regardless of what is going on for me and my health. His social worker and I have always had a strange relationship (I usually have a very good relationship with them, this one and I have not always seen eye to eye on some key issues) I think that I have just had it. I had planned on retiring in the next year or so, when I was finished my degree, but I think that the planets are aligning to tell me that it needs to be now instead. I just don't have the reserves to make it through any more right now. My kids know something is in the air and one of them is freaking right out, the other is oblivious but has been suspended from school for spitting on the teacher so he is home all day yesterday and today. So much for recharging before they get home. Anyway, that is my rant. Thanks for listening. Holly
