Sunday morning!
 

Morning all-

Hi Debkay, have a fun day with your company

Linda, let's try again this week to get a few good days under our belts!

Sherrie, hope today gives you a little more distance on the ex. I assume this is why he is ex! Do something to put your mind on something else- something for you- :cool:

Hi Ruth, how IS your blood sugar this past week or so? Has it settled any? I am trying to get ONE PERFECT DAY into me; I know each subsequent day will be easier once I have a couple days of Induction behind me, but I haven't gotten there yet! Maybe today:D

Off to the showers, I'll stop back later,

dottie

Good Morning everyone! Did you forget to change your clocks? My girlfriend did! :lol:

Ruth, don't blame you a bit for not wanting to get involved--you've done enough service for them, enough is enough!

Dottie, I wish I had a perfect day in here but there is always something cropping up that I am having a hard time just getting to that point. My aim is just one perfect meal these days...

Sherrie, don't let him get you riled, that's what he wants! He's pushing all your buttons and getting a kick out of watching you react. Breathe in, and out, breathe in, and out. Now go and think up some strategies with dealing with him in the future and when he starts with his games then just leave or tell him to get out! ((HUGS))

Linda, same boat here hon, wish I had Plan B myself! :)

Tired and crappy today--no surprise I went on a huge carb binge last night. Today is lots of protein and water, anything to stave off the carb monster!

Relatively easy day for me, just putting plastic on the windows for drafts and getting Miree to try on her costume for Halloween so I can make some alterations.

Have a good one everyone!

Good morning! That extra sleep did me a world of good. I feel like I've given you all the wrong idea. The ex is taking too many liberties with dd, trying to pick her up from school early and trying to take her out of daycare without my permission. He refuses to listen to reason, and there is absolutely no working this thing out. I am scared he'll take her away and never bring her back. I know I sound irrational, but he has this habit of disappearing for months on end. Anyway, I had to put him on red flag status at the school and daycare, and we had a knock-down, drag-out over it. Hurtful words were exchanged, he's extremely angry at me, and I don't want dd exposed to his temper, so the weekend visit at grandma's got called off. Now I'm the bad guy to grandma and grandpa too. Oh, what can you do? Try to protect your children and everyone hates you. I don't care so much about me, it's just wrong for dd to be hurt too. Hopefully a little time and space will cool him off, and we can try again next weekend. At any rate, I hope you are all going to do something wonderful for yourselves today, I'm off to the flea-market for some books and I might even eat a corn dog! Those Reese's cups ruined my weekend. (It was worth every bite, too!!) Talk to you later!

Good Morning All!

Well no park trip for us yesterday, hubby woke up and went straight to emergency, he chipped a tooth the nite prior and was in pure agony all day yesterday. So we had a quiet day around here. Oh well, perhaps another weekend we will go.

Sherrie- I too am a hated exwife, I stood up for my kids many many times over the past 12 years. It is a rotten position to be in, but the children come first and foremost. Mine would phone drunk saying he was on his way to pick up the kids, I would have to say NO, or he would arrange to pick them up, I would rush home from work, feed, bathe and get them ready to have them sit and wait for 45 mins, and he would no show! My daughter asked me once "do you think Daddy forgot where we lived?" I ended up moving many many miles away from him, was the best thing I ever did, not only for the children but also for myself! My children are older now and can see the rights and wrongs of it, but it was the pits at the time.

I have since remarried a wonderful man, who treats me like gold and my kids can depend on should they need to. The ex remarried a woman who can drink him under a table and takes rounds outa him. Poetic justice!

These things too shall pass. Keep protecting your child, cause in the end she will know you did it for her. If there is concern about him removing her, why not have supervised visits? A relative, or friend or such?

Keep your chin up! Hope it works out well for you both!

Ladies have a wonderful day, and good luck on staying on plan!
I admit I slipped up yesterday (ate pasta and dang it was good!! Today is a new day!

Sherry,
You had me worried last night. I am glad you are feeling better this am. All I can say is a mother knows best and only you can make the right choices for you and your family. A big hug your way.

My boys did so well yesterday at their karate promotion. Both received their blue belts and little man was invited into the black belt club, what that means I have no clue yet but his face was lit up like a badly decorated house for Christmas!

The naming ceremony is this afternoon. At 2:30 in the am there was a skunk somewhere in the neighborhood. This did not lead to good dreams, nor a wonderful smelling house for this many people to come to. But alas it has passed. I have all the food ready (actually my aunt and uncle are caterers) so I picked it up this am. The house looks good and that extra hour this am has allowed me to pop in and post. Ok I am off to cut up lemons and limes and put on some party cloths. Have a good day ladies.

I just wanted to pop in and say hi too! Having a major bad headache this morning. ugh. I think it was all the bread I ate last night and some chocolate. ugh and ugh again. Why do we do this to ourselves sometimes? Oh well. Today is a better day and I'm going to stay on plan today if it KILLS ME!!! I think I am also going to stay in bed with a warm washrag on my eyes and head.

Afternoon Ladies......just popping in to say hi, had a nice sleep in this morning after the big weekend, and now its off to starbucks for good cup of coffee.

Have a great day!

Hi everybody, it is almost the end of the weekend and I am just now making it here! Been a LONG weekend!

June, hope you feel better. I feel crappy after my carbs too. My ankles are swollen badly. I don't think I have had water problems like this until now!

L, I don't know what kind of karate your kids are in, but in TaeKwonDo, the black belt club means $299 and 10 more bucks a month. He does get an extra 15 minutes per lesson for weapons training. No worries, they are covered with foam!


Wish I could reply more, but I am in the middle of putting in low carb recipes on the low carb cookbook for the site, and in between each recipe I am doing something house-needy, like putting dirty clothes in the dungeon, or sweeping a room. Whew, this house needs Merry Maids!
