Actually, I already survived: a night of eight teenagers! It was a nice evening. I went to bed around midnight and got up around 5:00 and all but two were still awake. I cleaned up our mess from the night before and then started on pancakes for breakfast b/c some of the kids had to leave early. I’m recuperated. Both my girls slept most of the day Saturday. We were a lively bunch, let me tell ya.

I didn’t do as well as I should with my eating on Friday. Did very well on Saturday and Sunday but didn’t exercise. Sheeze, if I could get both ends to meet in the middle I’d be doing great! I did go for a walk tonight, though, at a local park. The weather was so beautiful that there was no way I was going to the Y. I walked about 2 miles. Tomorrow is the circuit room at the Y. Wednesday is yoga in the morning.

Work was absolutely horrible today.  When my DH picked me up, I asked him to drive to a local park and we talked about the events of the day. We have two people looking for other employment due to the tension at our office. After talking to DH and praying together about it, I have decided to update my resume and start looking. I hate that b/c I have been in my current position for 11 years and, for the most part, I really like my job. There are bad days, sure, but as a general rule, I like my job. Today is just the straw that broke the camels back. There have been issues for nearly three months now and they are just not being dealt with. I’ll keep praying.

I’ve also decided to go on the Montana mission trip again this year. I’ve been oscillating between going and not going for a few weeks. I thought I wouldn’t go b/c of the work situation but after today, I’m outta there.  :)   We will be doing a Vacation Bible school type camp, a week long, for Native American kids. We had great fun last year. Plus, we stopped at several tourist attractions on our way there and home: Devil’s Tower, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands. I’m looking forward to going. Of course, this depends on getting my time off approved. So, praying for good things and trusting God to supply the finances for the trip as my yougest DD is going as well; perhaps my oldes DD as well. She still hasn’t decided.

Good news about today is that I didn’t do any stress or emotional eating. Yay!  That felt very good.

That’s it for now. Hope everyone is having a great day and meeting your goals!
