IT'S TOTALLY TUESDAY YA'LL!!!

Good am,

How are ya'll doing? Great I hope. How was your Monday? Ours was really jam packed and had several tense moments. Managed to get through things with the strength the Lord has given me but it sure wasn't easy. Seemed like I was "ahead" of schedule all day yesterday beceause of thinking I would be late for everything. I even left to get Kayla an hour earlier than I was supposed to because I was sure it was the right time. It worked out well in Kayla's case because we needed the extra time. We were downtown at the Children's Pavilion from 2ish pm until after 4 pm. It was a LONG visit. It was suppose to be routine but nothing about yesterday was. Last pm was heated with me taking the brunt of a couple people's hatefulness but I managed. Took it in stride and walked on. Kayla was not feeling great but I let her play outside for a bit. Then our neighbor's boy decided to push Nora on purpose into a moving swing which busted her in the nose and had us running. Got both buggas in, settled in my bed, dinner in the oven and Kayla and I worked on homework. We were all in bed by 9 ish.

What's on the books for you Tuesday? Mine will be getting the day going in positive ways. Today is picture day at school for Kayla so I'm excited about that. I'll be working on my To Do List, getting some work out of the way, chores, phone calls, getting in some nature time, trying to relax and embrace this day. I hope that everyone has the BEST Tuesday they can. Hugs and love and all that jazz.

Good morning, beautiful.  Today is  a stressor for sure!

Yesterday was extremely tiring.  I got the day started super early (330-345 am) and got in a good walk with the doggies.  Then it was shower and packing lunches and getting the billing stuff done.  Steve was super late because the papers were late so I had to get some numbers from him over the phone and then get going before he even got home...and I was running late because of it!  Then one of my regular vendors was off so a sub was there and she had no idea what she was doing!  It took 45 minutes where it usually takes 5-10 minutes and she still had it all wrong!  Work was really good and I left on time.  Then came the remainder of the billing.  I got home at 8 PM!!!  It was a rough night.  I went to bed, not feeling well, and leftSteve to count and bundle the returns.  I got up at 12:30 AM to finish the paperwork and get it all worked out for Steve to take with him.  I got him up about 1:30 and he was out the door by 2.

Hopefully today will be better than it has started out.  Major melt down at my house early this AM...Kara is not a happy camper!  We have a family meeting scheduled so I have an agenda to work out.  I think she needs time away from my mother's house!  I also have to meet two folks from Craigslist...my last two purchases for a while...and get something for frogger and something for Kara, too.  After that I am hopeing and praying for an uneventful evening where Steve and I can get in the bed super early.  We are both pooped!

Love you much!

Morning Beautiful!  Sorry to hear your day was rough.  I hope both the buggas are recovering well today.  Sounds like you are off on the right foot to start today.

My day was pretty good.  Got caught up on what I wanted to with work.  Had a nice lunch with a friend.  Dropped my car off for some maintenance.  Had a nice quiet evening at home with my hubby, made a fabulous dinner.  Took a brief walk.  So I am not sure what is on the books for today other that work of course.  We shall see what the deal is with my car & hubby's car (probably will be switching them so that his can be checked out).  No plans for the evening.

So I am a bit bummed with myself.  I have been pushing the limits with my body as far as not following my guidelines & making time to take care of myself.  I have been very bad about grazing, not making it to the gym, eating things I know I shouldn't eat.  All basically just because I can, and a bit due to stress.  I stepped on the scale over the weekend & was up 5 lbs (in just a few weeks).  Stepped on again yesterday & today to verify & it was the same.  I am very frustrated with myself as I know better.  I can't allow this to creep up on me.  Time to sit down & make a game plan and work on controlling myself.  Please say some prayers for my strength!

Hey Courtney,

Sorry to hear that you have rediscovered some old bad habits.  For someone (me) who did the same - STOP THAT!  BACK AWAY FROM THOSE BAD TREATS!  You are so beautiful.  Don't let the old bad habits get anymore of a foot hold then they already have.  5 is not too hard to loose.  I let it go till it got to 10 and that is much harder to get off.

((((Hugs))))
