Guest guest Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hello everyone, I hope you have had a great (or "ok" at least) week this past week heading in to the long holiday weekend for us here in the U.S. I cannot remember if our Canadian friends have a holiday this weekend or any across the oceans like in Australia or wherever our members are from. If you do: have a great holiday too!! I am usually pretty good keeping up with the Canadian holidays since a few of my clients at work are either based in Canada or have multiple locations up there, but this one is slipping on me. This week has been what I am going to classify as an ok week. Not stellar, but not "bad" in any regards. I lived through the ice cream, hot dogs, potato chips and Ritz crackers this past week. I know I can talk to my mother but you know what, it wouldn't change anything until she wants it to change, it's been this way for the almost two years we have lived with her and she's an adult, I cannot force her to change. After that, this week I come home to one of those reusable grocery bags on the kitchen table with 3 boxes of Cheezits, a bag of Cheetos and a bag of Fritos. "Because they were on sale" she said. "You don't have to buy them just cuz they are on sale" I respond. I had *maybe* 12-15 Cheetos that night, which I am calling a binge because anything more than a normal serving (nothing) for me is now considered a binge LOL! I just write about my struggles is all, since that's what these support groups are all about. I also managed to force myself to walk 2 miles every day except one and that is because it (my knee) was soooooo crabby I just couldn't force myself to go. It was probably a good thing because we had a major storm blow in with high winds, thunder/lightening and torrential downpours that night (Wednesday) maybe my knee knew because I have heard of shoulders, etc knowing the weather was going to change. Last night, I drove out to the college to pick up DS18 to come home "for the weekend" - he's actually heading back Monday morning (or so he says) so we'll only have a couple days with him. I've missed him, but I can tell college has been good for him. I actually had to "force" him into emailing me the other day. I don't know what motherly vibe I was getting, but I was worried about him that day so I sent him a text message and then when he didn't respond, an email to follow that said it's not just cuz I miss you but I am worried about you today so send me "something" to let me know you're ok today (LOL) so he did. He sent me an email in FRENCH. Little bugger is taking French I (101?) this year. So I had to go to google translate to see what he wrote me LOL!! Anyway. Next week starts my two week stint with the fair and in the midst of that is the Women of Faith Conference and I managed to get a volunteer spot setting up so I could get tickets to the event for free (hooray, I am so excited because I just couldn't make the $80-90 fit my budget). So I don't know how much I will get on here during the week (probably not much at all, actually) so I will try to update you all on the weekend like I have been. Have a great weekend and new week! in WA 310 / 287.4 / 170 (that's looking like 3.8 released this week, for a total now of 22.6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
