Today's adventures
I woke up later than I though, had some weird dreams!! Anyway's I decided to go shopping for some food, so I could stop living off of sugar free Jello and pudding. After braving the icy sidewalk outside my building (the drip from the ledge on awning above the door has made a huge ice mountain, almost up to my knee.) I went to wal mart to get my food without any major problems... except I don't think wheat bran is a real thing, because I couldn't find it anywhere.
As I was making my way down one of the aisles, a guy from work passed by and stopped. We chatted for a few minutes and then he said out of the blue "You look smaller". I wanted to jump for joy!!
I left wal mart realizing I had forgotten to get sour cream (an ingredient in Sassy Cathy's tuna smoosh recipe). So I stopped at Jewel on my way home. There are at least 5 brands of sour cream, but none of them have fat free in the smaller packages. I know it's going to go bad before I can use it all.
Then back to the apartment, to avoid ice mountain I parked in front this time. I grabbed a couple more waters from the case in my car. ( I bought a case last week and it was too heavy to carry up so I just grab a couple every now and then). It was frozen!! Now I have ice water in a bottle, it's fanastic.
Then I cooked up some of SC's tuna recipe, it was good! Then decided it was time to go to the rec (the school gym). I got dressed to exercise and then went out to the car.... well wouldn't you know it the car got stuck in the snow. Here I am not allowed to push anything more than 10 lbs. Luckily after being stuck for like 15 minutes the landlord shows up and helps to push me out! He's a nice guy.
I got the gym and my student card wasn't recognized!! I'm not sure exactly what happened, but they let me in anyways and gave me a number to call about it. Though the office isn't open again until Monday. I guess I'm just going to have to bring a copy of my schedule with me to the gym to prove I'm a student. So treadmill number 9 and I bonded in the back of the exercise room for 30 minutes while I listened to Pink. (I highly recommend her as work out CD).
blah blah boring boring
later I made some of the "cheesy beef" recipe from the book I got from the surgeon, it was magnificent. I know I didn't get in enough protein, but I did get more than normal.
Today all in all was fantastic.
How was YOUR day?
Well, my day sucked. Glad you liked the tuna smush
I posted this on the main board so I'll just do a copy/paste thing cos I'm tired. ((((Hugz))))
Ok I'm going to whine ... This morning I was late to my first school because I took the country roads which I didn't know were flooded so I had to turn around and backtrack. This afternoon I got goobed on at work. Later this afternoon on my way back, my car decides to die ... as I'm passing another car UPhill. Cost me $$$ to get it towed. Fuel pump went out and because of the design of the car ... it's going to cost me $750 to get it repaired and they can't do it until late Monday. My mother had to drive an hour out of her way to come "rescue me". I received grief about this all the way back to her house. Bonus - I'm borrowing my grandmother's car. We went out for dinner and I ate bad foods. So much for the development of more functional coping mechanisms. My phone is disconnected because I forgot to pay the bill and they can't reinstate it until perhaps tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Why my dsl still works I have no clue - it's through the phone co. too. Ok whining over. Thanks for "listening".
Today I let my husband sleep all day because he stayed up all night on the computer playing poker. He went to work thats good!! then it started to snow about 7 pm so me and the kids played in the snow. My son got out his hot wheels motocycle and kept getting stuck in the snow. So my big butt was running around helping him. I am so out of shape but it was so much fun. Oh yea my son was at pre k today(he goes for 2 hour) they had a mini trampoline he was jumping fell side way**** his head has a knot the size of a golf ball with a cut. I walk in to sit on the bench where I pick him up and there he is crying sitting on his teacher lap! I didn't know about it because she said she didn't call because she knew I was on my way(I am always 15 min early) he is ok but if the knot don't go down I will take him monday to the doctor. I was so scared I am very overprotected so I had to go to walmart(I hate walmart and try not to go there) but he wanted a toy and that was the quickest.
My day was average. Had an IEP meeting at the school for Bekah to review her "special needs" plan and to set things up for high school next year. My goodness I'm getting old!! A high school student, in my house Anyways, they were great, she is set up to succeed next year, the counslor for next year is Mr. Positive and energy, and the principal was there when my ex and his brother were there so we connectted right off the bat. Bekah was in the meeting and is excited and feels good about her plan and classes for next year.
After that I made some calls about finances and the rent since the group that was supposed to help backed out, so I'm piecing everything together.
Once that was done, i got off my but and walked over to the gym, added a new weight machine minus the weight. Did 50 min and 2mi. on the treadmill and relaxed in the steam room. I'm surprised im not sore yet, just tired everyday Hoping this will help start pushing the scale back down.
Now im off to bed soon. You all have great nights

I went to the walk in clinic. My husband has been sick. we were there all morrning. He has pnamona (sorry for my miss spelling) no spell check here!
He's doing better. Got caught paying for a philly sandwich in the med. office breakroom that is off limits to the public. Opps. They were nice though they let me eat the sandwich.
