Thanks Terri. I think you might have left a mark. You have a mean slap. It must be from hanging around Liz so much. LOL ... Hugs to you. Thanks

Comes from rasing 2 girls & spending lots of time in the car ......I got pretty good with reaching around into the back seat....love ya girl

 couldn't find a slap!!!

Ok, time for some tough talk.....DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP! 

Be as nice to YOU as you are to OTHERS........know what I mean?!??

You are a precious person and deserve to talk to yourself nice.  Don't be mad at you - just figure out what you need to do and do it AND talk NICE to YOU.....please. 

You are special and don't ever let your brain tell you otherwise.

Dana,

Here's what worked for us.  I would make a plate of healthy snacks like baby carrots, celery sticks with ranch dip, or cut up fruit, or cheese and crackers.  The kids would sit at the kitchen table.  While I cooked dinner, they would have a healthy snack and do their homework.  That way, if they needed help, I could look over their shoulder and give direction, but not actually sit down with them.  Usually, by the time they finished their homework, dinner would be ready.  They could clear their books off the table and we could sit down together for dinner. 

Good Morning Karla and the rest of my TMB Family,

Happy Monday.  I have been wide awake since 4:30 not sure why but have been.  Wish I could be like Danni, and get up and start cleaning but instead I got up, took vits and am now on my 2nd and last cup of coffee and watching the news.  Have to take our Princess Zoie to the vet today.  We are going to get her declawed and caught up on her shots.  She is getting old (5) and having a hard time with catching her  claws on everything.  Since we have been on the base we have been keeping her inside and she seems perfectly ok with that so we plan to keep it that way.  Those are my only plans for today except maybe a nap later.  Mark starts school tonight so I wont be cooking.  Will probably have my left overs from Carinos yesterday.  Weight seems to be dropping and not sure if that is a good thing or not.  I have been really satisfied with my weight these days,  Ok I need to get more coffee in me.  Prayers for all our teachers, and school staff that go back to school today.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.  Michelle

GOOD MORNING! Thanks Karla for getting us started. I don't have to be at the conference until 8 so I slept late for me- got up at 6. However, it went until 7pm last night and 7:30 tonight so it all works out in the end I suppose. Last night I was so tired and I wanted to watch Big Brother so I ordered a kids meal from room service. It was quite good!

Dana- if you figure out the answer to homework blues let me know! Chris can do the work, but he wants me to sit with him the whole time, even if he doesn't ask any questions. It would be one thing if he didn't understand and he needed help, but he already knows it. Overall though I don't mind because I love to see how his mind thinks when he's doing work.

I am trying to make good choices on food-always harder when I'm traveling. Lunch is provided today so I hope its something I can eat.

Hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!

I've got to stop and take a deep breath.  It's only a week till school starts and I'm already feeling the pressure.  I do it to myself, but with the financial obligation for me to go back to school added to the time away from the family I feel obligated to them to be perfect.  Silly I know.  They don't ask that of me, but when I'm asking so much of them that I feel like I owe them.  And then all of the little things Dh makes about our finances just fuels my self induced psychosis.  argh!  And of course what do I do when I'm stressed? Eat!   Volume wise I can't eat all that much, but I'm making poor choices and eating the wrong kinds of food.  I made myself sick on a hotdog yesterday.  Knew I would probably get sick from it the moment I accepted it off of the grill, but took it nonetheless.  Sure enough, sick for two hours afterwards.  Stupid!  Crazy!  What was I thnking?  Poor me is what I was thinking.  I am fessing up here to you guys cause you know where I'm coming from and what is going on in my head.  But today is ebough and it's time to take back control of my mind and shove the negative mok=nkey to the side of the road.  Loading up fitday and planning to log out my whole day in advance.  I'm printing it and taking it wiht me.  I am not eating anytrhing that's not logged.  I'm logging healthy foods, lots of protein and water. I will not be deprived,but I will be on plan. 

Thanks for letting me vent.  HUGS
