Wow things sure are busier with the kids home.  Was not home much today, busy running kids around.  Took older ds to eye doctor for routine exam.  His prescription changed so we need to buy new glasses.  It didn’t take as long as I thought at the dr, so I had time to bring him home then go to a ww meeting after all.  Glad I did because I was -2.6!  Yeah!  That’s the biggest loss I’ve had in awhile.  Put it into my online weight tracker and it warned me not too lose too fast!  I know it’s preset to say certain things like that, but come on!  Don’t rain on my parade!

Came back home and then took ds’s out to run errands, like find glasses.  Got a notice from the school about Target giving out free glasses and when we got there was told it ended early (it was supposed to run until sometime in April!  I guess they had an overwhelming response.  So we looked around and went a few other places getting an idea of what was out and prices.  Our ins. doesn’t cover the cost of eyeglasses so we foot the whole bill.  We can go certain places and receive “discounts” but that’s really a joke because stores often have promotions that are cheaper than we can get it with the “discount. 

 Youngest ds had money that was burning a hole in his pocket and after looking several places for a captain rex starwars figure and not finding it he ended up buying some little lego set.  He wanted one more expensive but meanie that i am would not pay the difference from what he actually had.  I think he’s already forgotten about what he got and then tomorrow he’s going to want something else even more expensive but won’t have any money left.  Oh well, it’s his allowance, better for him to learn things now on the little things than wait until he’s much older and doing it with bigger things.  At least I hope…..

Focusing on very clean eating for the next few days.  I’m hoping not to use any of my WPA until later this week when we are in hometown visiting with family.  Hopefully this will help things go smoother when I have less control over what is on the menu.  That, and getting in some extra activity because the weather is supposed to be beautiful for the next few days!
