Well... if it's not one thing...

It sure is another!!! LOTS of stuff going on here! I feel like I'm spinning in circles the past couple days! #1... Thursday I was off work- it was my sons birthday- my very good friend flew over to spend a few hours with me. It was so nice to have a diversion. #2... Friday I was off work- it was my son's "death day". I spent a lotta time fixing up his grave and just sort of "in thought". Went to lunch with my best friend & just had a nice quiet family day. #3... Any thoughts of working with a WL plan has been tossed OUT THE DOOR :(   Things are just to stressed to try and work at something for ME. I'll weigh in on Wed/Thu as its TOM and I just don't want to feel horrid when the scale is UP! #4... Oldest dd is definitely getting a divorce! Her hubby is being an absolute A$$ about it all! If he isn't drunk and belligerent- he's crying and wanting to send ME cards! "I always liked your mom!" (hmmm... I recall a day he said: "You're mom is as good as DEAD to me" because I voiced my opinions on his abuse back then?) #5... I've decided to give one of my dogs to my friend in another town. She wants her really bad and lost hers 2 years ago. I know Abby will LOVE it with them- but I'm feeling a little sad about it- and concerned the "mama dog" will really feel bad as they've been together for 1.5 years and are VERY tight! We'll see! #6... Middle dd (the one I've been so concerned with lately- hangin with the wrong crowd) confessed to me that she is expecting a BABY. I think she's going to be okay though. I'm not sure WHY I think that but I just DO. I think this baby is going to be a turning point in her life and this is going to be the start of a NEW LIFE for her. She was shocked that I wasn't upset..... I am a little shocked myself. She's afraid to tell her dad and wants ME to. Ha! NO WAY! I'm leaving that one up to her :) Sooooo..... HOLY O MOSES! What a week!!!  I think I'm looking forward to WORK on Monday!  And the normalcy of the work week! It's going to be FULL all week with it being spring break- the weather sucks... to nasty to really want to go out in it much more than we HAVE to. I'm booked with EIGHT kids from 8:00 a.m. until 6: p.m. Mon-Friday!   Akkkkkkkk!  That's my update. I gotta head to bed now! It's 1:00 a.m.!!!    

Mama.. you sure do have a lot going on. I've found that when confusion and turmoil strikes I have to STOP thinking...  take it ONE DAY at a time... ONE HOUR at a time, and even ONE MINUTE at a time if you must!   Remember.. your eating plan is the way you take care of YOU and if YOU aren't cared for, you can't care for anyone else.  If you are off plan because of the confusion, don't smack yourself upside the head for it, but do something else to care for YOU only. .. even if it's just a long, lavender bath. God be with you through all of this.. ps.. don't forget to BREATHE! Lori

Wow, my heart goes out to you. The most I am dealing with is my son changing his cell phone plan and his father freaking out over it.  LOL You sound so positive about it all so like Lori said, just go with the flow.  Take care of yourself, it's all you can do.  Don't forget that nobody else but YOU is going to do it!!!!

Oh Mama, I feel ya on your dd being pregnant. My 15 yr old gdd told us and her mom today that she lost her virginity last night. I pray she doesn't end up pregnant in the long run but then again there are def worse things that can happen and thank God they didn't.  I wish your dd all the best with the new baby and you all the best with life and eating. God be with you all. Stay strong. Beth
