Hi chicks!
I've been up for a while and the kids are still sleeping, unusual. I decided this would be a good time to post. I've got my 7 yr old niece today and a little preschool friend of Kylees to add in to the mix this morning, we had a sleep over and no one got to bed before 1am, except my DH. Now I hear theres rain coming in, Whoo Hoo! Ought to be a great day with 7 kids running through the house at top speed! Lets all keep our fingers crossed that the rain holds off until 5pm,K?
fergi, listen sweets, I have a family that gets very upset with me because I do not buy "the good stuff", from time to time. Actually they don't so much anymore, I've told them I do the cooking of the food and the cleaning up of the food, therefore I do the choosing of the food. If its something special for someone in particular I can and do make an exception. Like if older DD is having friends over or something. I have explained to my DH how hard it is for me to have lets say, anything chocolate (I could go on and on here), in the house because I am an emotional and stressful eater. I can say I won't go there but if I know its in the house and I start freaking out, which trusts me in this house pretty much happens Every Day!! I'm stuffing it down my throat without a thought until its gone and then, well I'm sure you know how you feel after that. So if he really wants cookies or something he'll ask me if thats ok and I buy or make only what he'll eat in a day or two. If you haven't talked to him yet about support, talk to him again, and if you have to again and again. It took my husband seeing his blood tests results (cholesterol and triglycerides) to really listen to me and to come over to my way of thinking, he's not overweight (that really is no fair), but his levels weren't good, but guess what, now they are! So hang tough and enlist your family to help, or draft them, whatever it takes.
Well now that I've gone off on a rant I'll call it a morning and go fix some whole wheat waffles for breakfast. Have a great day chicks!
