JR, JR ,JR

JR has gotten in trouble at school on many occasions now for throwing blocks. When Emily called me about her report card today, I also asked her how JR's day was. She told me he threw a block.

He yelled "I didn't threw a block. It didn't hit anyone."

Thankfully, I was on the other end of the phone and he couldn't hear me laughing.

Kind of reminded me of the old if a bear poops in the woods, and noone is there to smell it, does it still stink?

We will survive kindergarten. We will survive kindergarten. We will survive kindergarten.

All As again!!!

Woo hoo! Emily just called me (my parents got her and JR from school). We were sweating her honors language arts grade but she pulled out a 95 in there. She got a 93 in honors math (not sure how it went down to that, but who cares - it's an A), a 96 in Social Studies and a 100 in Science. That was actually a 103 but a 100 is the highest it will give you on the report card.

I'm so proud of her! Her dad promised her $100 if she went all year with all As. He may just be paying up!

Giving myself a kick in the butt

Three years ago today, I began Weight Watchers. After 8 months, I had lost 35 pounds and kept it off until this past November. Since then, I've gained 1/2 of that back. I can't get my mind back to were it was with eating right! I know it's all mental. So, I'm giving myself a big kick in the butt to get back on track starting TODAY!

I've started eating emotionally again. I'm so mad at myself for that. I polished off a whole bag of Doritos over the weekend. I've been eating chocolate like mad! I need to stop this and stop it now!

So, today is a new day. Day 1 of losing this weight. Day 1 of NOT eating emotionally. Day 1 of eating right!

Wish me luck!

Catching up...

The holidays have come and gone, the decoration are put away and it all seems like a blur! I do this every year. I don't take the time to enjoy the moment. I need to make that my new year's resolution!!!

Chasity is still with us. No mention of her going back with her mom. No mention of how long she plans to stay with us. No mention of much of anything. Tim and I need to sit down with her and figure this out. She had no health insurance as of Jan 1. That scares me. But, what can I do?? So, if she plans to stay, I think she needs to get a job until August, then she can start tech. We'll see.

JR broke out with hives on Monday. He was better Tuesday and then they came back with a vengence yesterday. So, no school for him.

Emily started back to school yesterday. She came home all pissed off that they actually expected them to do work on their 1st day back and she had homework! LOL, my dear, welcome to the end of elementary school!! In 6th grade, she be preparing for midterms!

I am at work and feel like a zombie! The sleeping arrangements in my house are not working! Another reason we need to have a chat with Chasity. If she's staying, fine, but we need to close of the living room and give her her own room. And give Emily her room back! I've had her and JR in my bed the last 2 nights! Dh slept in JR's bed. He does that because he has to get up so early (like before 4) and we watch different things on tv at night. He also gets a hell of a lot more sleep than I do!!

Ok, that sounded more like a bitch session, sorry...

Back to work....
