Re: Step Surge Cardio Premix

Thank you Donna!  It is very tough, very tough   She lives 5 miles away from us, and we normally do get together for every holiday and birthday.  We don't see them much outside of that, but with the whole family, it's pretty often....  She kind of apologized after she blew up at me, and I shook my head and told her she needed to apologize to Sawyer who had locked himself in the van and was bawling   I couldn't bleieve the stuff she said to me.  Basically nobody is allowed to discipline my kids, not even my husband...and they all 'laugh' about it.  OMG... unreal.  She practically raises her other grandson, and I think just needs to feel " needed " all the time, or something.  I told DH maybe that's it.  Maybe that is why our boys get the cold shoulder  - it's because we do just fine w/out her, and she's offended!  Who knows....  I was truly appalled by her actions though.  Wow.  And then no real apology afterwards.  UGH.. We have a wedding to go to on Saturday where she will be, and I am not sure how we are handling it   She basically said that Sawyer has been mean to Louis in the past, and that was why she blew up the other day.  Nice.  I said " then why didn't you tell us? " .  She then went on to say that Sawyer is so perfect and we would have never believed it. OMG  Unreal.  I am the FIRST one to complain about my kids.  I never portray them as perfect. Wow..   Okay, I won't go on anymore..LOL.

((HUGS)) Darcy!  Family conflict is rough. Both DH and I come from " dysfunctional " families, my joke is that we have a " Norman Bates " family as opposed to a " Norman Rockwell " family.

 

In a way, when I see big families all getting along, I feel bad - but, the three of us in our little family do a nice job.  it isn't like we don't have contact w/ our extended family - it is just that contact w/ the extended family is not always pleasant or w/out issue/drama.

Donna

I got a great workout in this morning.. and even went 50 minutes w/ it    And I handled it fine.  A little higher intensity than I would prefer, but cardio-wise it was perfect.  I liked the music a ton, and caught on w/out any issues to all he combos.  Also enjoyed the ab -burn at the end.  Great little workout!  I burned 621 calories with my average at 136 in the end.

Tomorrow is rest again - wow, have I mentioned how much 5 days a week seems soooo do-able!Happy Sundays everyone!!D, who just witnessed Aniyah falling asleep all by herself...and then waking 2 minutes later..LOL...

I'm sorry Donna, I meant to comment on your family situation too.  It must be hard for you as well    My husband and I kind of got into it afterwards.  He's one to never ever speak up too...  He swears that it doesn't bother him at all the way his mom treats our boys verses the other grandson.  He then said maybe I was jealous.  I replied maybe I was jealous, but not for me, for THEM.  It's very sad that they can't have the love they should have from a grandparent   I so understand when you say it's hard when you see other families.  It's hard for me too....  Oh well, they have taught me how I will NEVER EVER BE  TO MY GRANDKIDS!
