And I am hungry.

I already have the bulk of today’s work behind me, which is nice for a Friday.

Went to Group Kick last night and had an awesome class.  Food was good, exercise was good.  The day in general was good!  Today is an exercise day off - HURRAY! I need the break - although I do have to cut the grass, and the hilly backyard makes that exercise anyway.  That will be done tonight or tomorrow, depending on the weather I guess.

Weekends plans are to get the last few things for the kids rooms, and a few last things for my trip which is now officially TEN DAYS AWAY!  Yippee!  Need a good strapless bra, and a hat.  We are going kayaking and the guide said we need to wear hats to protect our heads from the sun.  I think I am pretty set with everything else … well, maybe one more pair of shorts/tank top.  I was so focused on finding dresses to wear to dinner in the evening (and I did get some really cute, tropically ones) that I kind of neglected casual wear.  Most of the time we will be in swimsuits anyway.

So after almost 4 days of no contact, I get a text late last night from MBFF asking how the kids like their rooms.  I answered her, nicely, but didn’t press for any other conversation.  I was doing some reading this morning in a motivational book I picked up, and today’s passage was so interesting because it was about “having someone in our life who challenges our ability in our life to trust and take care of ourselves.”  Well, BINGO.  I won’t type out the entire passage, but it goes on about the powerful tug-of-war feelings of anger, the control issues, etc. and says that we cannot change the other person, but we can stop playing our part of the game.  That is what I am doing.  I am detaching, I am not playing the game with her anymore.  Talks about who we are when we are free from their influence … it is weird to look back and see how her opinions have basically influenced so many decisions in my life.  Time to take all of that back. 

Weird.

Anyway, today I wrote the check to pay for my tuition.  My company will reimburse me if I get an A or a B, so I MUST DO WELL! LOL  Once I drop this in the mailbox, it is officially official. :-)

Today’s Food:

  • Breakfast: Nutrigrain Waffle w/blueberries and SF syrup, coffee
  • Snack: Banana
  • Lunch: Ham on Honey Wheat, Baked Lays
  • Snack: Apple
  • Dinner: Undecided

 Tomorrow between 9:44 - 12:44 (lol) the furniture company is coming with the underbed storage and to fix the crooked slat.  We will see how that goes.  After that, I am taking the kids back out to do the rest of that shopping I mentioned earlier, and maybe we will catch a movie.  Will just be me and twinsies.

Okay ladies, I owe a couple of email responses so let me get to that … have a wonderful, happy, healthy weekend - whatever ‘healthy’ means to you, because it is different for us all.  HUGS!
