Today has been a great day. I woke up feeling much better (that is the most ladylike way I can think of to say my issue has resolved itself!), got dressed in cute capri’s (thank god I have fat-fat clothes still, because my regular-fat clothes are too tight as my belly is still swollen) and heels, and even put on a little mascara. I had the follow up appointment with my 6yo’s psychologist for the results of the iq and personality assessments. Apparently my son is a genius, literally. I mean, I knew he was smart, but wow. So with that comes great responsibility. He is VERY emotional, and though we tell him how great he is, he doesn’t have a good self worth. The dr said that was evident. But he is smart, and is a people pleaser, so if we can get him to work on dealing with his emotions and realizing not everything is a personal attack on him, he thinks he could be a future Nobel Prize winner. CRAZY!! My Uncle’s brother (not my uncle caue of marriage LOL) was a chemical engineer and was up for the nobel prize before he died in a plane crash many years ago. It is hard for me to fathom that ability. He thinks he needs to be in a better school, but we’re leaving soon, so I am going to wait til then. I don’t want to uproot him just to do it again. I would like for him to be in a private school, but I want to finish grad school first, plus the dr said there are seminar schools that are public, but for gifted kids that are just as good as the small private school he’d recommend. Nice.

So, I came home and called the school counselor, and we’re having a meeting tomorrow (random, I know, but she is so awesome and suggested it since the boys will be gone at a birthday party with the hubby). I’m excited to see if we can make some progress. Poor lil guy… he doesn’t realize how fabulous he is. I HATE his biological father. What a complete loser. And he was just like our son… so smart, but no ability to control his emotions, and he ended up doing drugs and going nowhere for it. I do not want that fate for my son. He deserves so much better than that.

Ok, I’ve talked enough. I’m going to start writing what I eat again. Lord knows I need the accountability.

B: usual (oatmeal, protein, banana, skim (gave up the soy))
L: micro healthy choice meal, bit o honey candy bar (nom! good stuff)
S: pear and a banana with almond butter and also a few crackers and hummus (snacky lil thing)
D:healthy choice meal (good actually) and a slice of the boys pizza. oh, and a fun size box of juju something or the other
Water: ~80 oz

I’m making homemade red velvet cupcakes for a friend tomorrow morning, and I am going to try to eat only 2. That is the goal. I mean, I could say zero, but that would be unrealistic.
