Hello Girlfriends. Had to go and finish up
August before coming over here...
Jenni - Here's a
for when you need it most. Just remember, this too shall pass, and that today will be yesterday tomorrow. My DFather gave me some of the best advice I've ever had at a time when I REALLY needed it most. Like to hear it? Here it goes (sorry couldn't resist): when you're really low and your emotions are too much to bear, sleep on it. When you wake up, your situation may still be the same, but you will at least have a little more clarity with which to view it. I don't know what's going on with your DF, but girl, please believe that you and your DKs will be SO MUCH better off in the long run. In the meantime, we are here for you, Chick.
JulieM - A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!
I really admire your dedication and resolve.
It's got to feel great to have both a SV and NSV at the same time. You are ROCKIN IT!!!!!!
Joni - Thanks for posting the barbeque information. That will surely influence my decision making this weekend. I will be carrying my own food everywhere I go this weekend, as its full of activities for me. It is my goal just to maintain.
Speaking of which...I need to dust off my tip cards, because get this...
Tonight - Outdoor concert (Steely Dan) with DBFF. - Plan to have huge salad and fill up on water before we leave.
Saturday - DSs 13th BDay party - Skating and Pizza Party, complete with Ice Cream Cake. - Will take both lites with me, and maybe do a CC Pizza.
Sunday - Cookout at DPs - Will bring the legendary veggie tray, will eat beforehand, will bring lites and lemons for lemon water - will save my fruits and starches for the
that will be inevitable to avoid.
Monday - Airshow with DH/ DSs - This should be easy as I'm in charge of packing the cooler. Tuna salad with cucumber slices for me, Tuna sandwiches for the DSs, pretzels, apples and carrots. Water for our drinks, and my lites of course.
If anyone can offer any tips on surviving this weekend, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE!!!!
Here's to us, Chickies!
