((((clean&tidy HUMP (Need an intervention!!!) DAY))))

Kate you should post his number on MySpace and name him the Jerk!

YAAAY Mufasa!:D I knew that he was good for something, just in case do you need me to send you some pepper spray...it's legal in NC.

My nails are light peach with silver and white design.
 
Thanks for the support everyone! I'm gonna do it! Still have the determination. I figure I won't think about tomorrow - I need to focus one day at a time. Ryan came home and took the girls to the store for me. I took a nice hot bath and read a book (heaven for me) and Ryan came upstairs with a glass of champagne and a plate of strawberries! He's AWESOME!

Fajitas almost ready (very little cheese for me and we don't have any SC...). They smell amazing!

Kate, sorry about the jerk-man. I'm glad Mike sticks up for you. Makes things all better when you have big strong man around!

Robin, LOL about the circus. :) Have fun with your pretty nails and good job passing up the M&Ms!

Anne, enjoy your lunch out! Hope you have fun.

Klaudia, pass on the recipes your FB friend is giving you!!

Dinner time!
 
anne, so sorry about your friend!

angie, what a great guy!
sending you vibes for dinner & after! youre right - one day at a time. i think we get caught up in "i have to eat 100% clean the rest of my life!"

clean lunch is done!

what to have for pm snack/???!:confused: for whatever reason i always struggle here
 
hi everyone - i love being home!!!!! we all went for a lovely but cold walk, then finn rode his bike a bit. clean lunch of soup and edemame and yougart. making greek chick and ww couscous and salad for dinner and getting a bean soup ready for tomorrow - my long day. did a little leg work and lots of cleaning, bills, laundry, odds and ends. hope to play with a friend later. so now for the down part, and i need some advice b/c i am so conflicted. i have not spoken with my dad since just after christmas. i hate how he has treated my mom and his deception to me too. well, i got a valentine card from him and one for each of the boys. the one for finn was quite cute - little punck out trucks and a map. my card just said "i miss you. love dad." okay, now i am crying again. i mioss having a dad. i do. but i hate what he has done. anyways, it is just hard, and i do not know if i should reach out or ignore things.

angie, hope your evening stayed clean. one day at a time is the only ay to go for sure.

robin, sorry for the fd and the circus;) your nails sound pretty. mine look horrible.

klaudia, lucky charms, huh. sounds ummy. i would eat the entire box without blinking.

kate, wow, what a morning. how did you do all that telephoning with 2 girls? finn has a nack when i am on the phone of screaming"mommy, off the phone."

colleen, stay healthy. has the snow turned to rain yet?

anne, have fun at lunch. i love having lunch with friends.

oh, as for the clothes i got - a new pair of jeans, cause i am addicted to having lots of those. i got a rally cute summer skirt and 2 tops. now i have my eye on some sandals, have not gotten them yet, but i need good ones i can walk in that look cute - these are danskos. it is sily really as i have at least 3 more months of boot weather. a girl can dream....
 
Hey girls, gonna hit the hay early. I made it through the day! I'm not even hungry! Had one fajita and it tasted so good I wanted another but resisted and I'm plenty full!

Thanks for all the support... see you on the flip side!
 
Hi again. Morris, I totally understand about the sandals! I bought new ones in Mexico. And, {{{{HUGS}}}} to you. Try this, imagine your life if you reached out to your dad. What is your gut reaction to that vision? Do you feel better or worse? That could tell you something. Also, talk to your therapist about it and see what she/he says. They will have insight for you. I think it's really nice that he made that gesture and it says to me he would like to repair your relationship. I completely understand that you do not condone his actions, but remember you can hate the sin and still love the sinner. Just my $.02, take it or leave it, of course. Can you tell I've had a LOT of therapy? Ha!

Angie, great job today! Slaap lekker! (That's sleep well in Dutch.)

Okay, I have.to.get.some.work.done. I am completely unmotivated today for some reason. Did I tell you I have book club tonight? It's called Books and Beer. Should be fun.

anne
 
nice day morris! your dad......maybe call and keep it to neutral topics? (your boys, work...) or maybe write a thank you letter back? hugs to you.
i HATE being onn the phone. hate it. somehow i managed tho:confused: its over for today but therell be a 30-min phone thing in the next couple days:mad:
go for the sandals!;)

wtg angie!!! i knew you could do it!

anne, have fun tonight! which book?

--------------
enchil are mostly prepared. need to shred chicken & roll em up.
pm snack was cheerios w/ skim milk. im very satisfied and I DO NOT NEED TO EAT AGAIN BEFORE DINNER!!!:p:D
 
The book is Kabul Beauty School. I, of course, am completely critical of it. It's about a woman from Michigan who moved to Afghanistan and opened a beauty school as a way to give Afghan women the opportunity to make their own money. I admire what she did, but she's a total flake and there's a lot of controversy over the book because she included extremely detailed accounts of some of the women and some say they are now in danger. So, it should stimulate a very interesting discussion. We'll see. Have a good night, everybody! I'll be back in the AM.

anne
 
Hey ladies, LOOOONGG and uber-busy day, I'm emotionally exhausted but physically okay. Dinner is in the oven (shephard's pie) and I am going to do my walk/stretch/abs tonight I swear.

I need to take a few deep breaths and clear my mind before Chris comes home.

Love you all, sorry for the drive-by..........
 
So sick of losing my posts!! It was uber long, too. And I'm sick to boot! I've been sneezing ALL day, my nose is raw, my throat itches. No workout. Maybe I'll do a treadmill walk later. Darrin's making dinner-pancakes and smokey links:) I don't think I'll eat that, though. Had a cookie and Dorito crumbs for snack-oy!

Anne, great workout! Have fun at book club. I'd love to join one and yours sounds like a lot of fun;) Apraxia of speech is a severe speech disorder characterized by the inability to speak or a severe struggle to speak clearly. It occurs when the oral-motor muscles do not or cannot obey commands from the brain or when the brain cannot reliably send those commands. Milla's had a long road to get where she is, but now she doesn't stop talking! She still gets speech therapy and will for a few more years, but the progress she's made is amazing!

Kate, I watch my portions cause I have to leave enough for the girls for the weekend or they'll call me out! Cannot believe the nerve of that guy! Gotta love when our husbands come to our defense. Enchiladas-yum!

Angie, strawberries and champagne?! You are lucky! Good job on staying in control:)

Morris, I'm glad you had such a great day with the boys:) As for your dad, I agree with Anne and Kate. Darrin's had a contentious relationship with his dad for a long time. He's done all sorts of stuff from trying to start a physical fight with Darrin (he was drunk) to being late to our wedding and everything in between. We've decided that although we wouldn't choose him for a friend, we can tolerate him the few times a year we see him. And he loves the girls and who doesn't want that? We 're trying to be big about it-unlike his sisters who call him "Biological Bill" after he paid for their schooling and gave wedding money, of course. Anyway, just my opinion.

Katie, hope you can destress.

bbl...
 
oh, my achin belly! dinner was clean but i ate so much salsa....... sts tonight!

anne, that sounds very interesting. when my life slows down in the yr 2030 i would love to read it:p

drive by anytime katie!

klaudia, yeah well i had a cookie too!:eek: i wish mike would just finish them off already!:p
sorry youre feeling rough. nice d can make dinner!
 
Long day today. I was at work really late so I got home late, etc. Tomorrow will be another busy day and I think I need to go downtown midday. I am going to try to get out of it tomorrow morning. We ordered Chinese for dinner and I got steamed tofu and veggies.

Morris, maybe it is too soon to talk to your dad. I know my grandmother stopped talking to my aunt because she didn't like the man she married. They didn't talk for 20 years and then one day my grandmother realized what she was missing out on and patched up the relationship. She regretted losing those 20 years with her daughter.
Angie, ^ 5 on the clean eats.
Anne, enjoy your book club.
Klaudia, sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you feel better tomorrow.
Robin, sorry about the drama this morning. Hope it got better after the circus came home.
Kate, sorry about the crazy man. I guess times are tough for him. Hopefully, he is not totally crazy but just trying to hold onto his job.
 
thanks for the advice everyone. i am not sure i can be the bigger person yet. it just hurts a lot, you know? and i saw my dad before christmas - he came up here and i saw him talked to him, felt a connection, and invited him to visit with the boys. he told me he wanted to get back with my mom. then, 1 week later he left again, for good. i gfelt manipulated. but i am such a sucker. maybe i just need more time, dunno. anne, when i think about it like you mentioned, i imagine feeling sick to my stomach and manipulated. i feel very naive b/c i want to believe the best. but it is hard to make a liar and a cheat come out better.

enough about me. katie, why so stressed? have a good walk.

kate, yummmm!

klaudia, sorry yooua re sick. get some rest.

anne, book club sounds like fun. i will do that one day.

night everyone - be back tomorrow
 
Morris, I'm so sorry that you are caught in the middle of such a hard family situation. (((HUGS))) Don't talk to him if you aren't ready.

Walk, done. Stretch, done. Abs, not yet:eek: I better do it or I am gonna fall asleep on my yoga mat.

G'night ladies.
