The sleep of the dead

Not long after dinner last night, the three of us passed out.

It got up to 70 yesterday, supposed to be 75 today! Wheeeee!

Trying to remain calm............

This is me, attempting to block out the chaos.  What the hell is going on?  I think my family is trying to kill me. It could be that or maybe its just that I can no longer shoulder ALL of the responsibilities around here. Child #1's school calls me at 9 am and says I have to pick him up because he's acting out. No use in arguing either so I go and pick him up. I was supposed to have mid-terms this morning. Now I have to do make-ups on Wednesday. I should use this time to study, yes? Why cant I? Because I'm thinking about 50,000 other things that I either have to schedule or do or fix or remember. GEZUS! And today you know what? I'm STRESS EATING, I know it, I feel it, I want food dammit. I'm not even worried about dumping, I wanna eat and thats it. I've had 2 pieces of toast with PB, half a grapefruit, 1 fresco soft taco, 3/4 mandarine chicken salad and right now I'm stuffing myself with plain tortilla chips. Its only 2 pm dammit. I'm pretty sure that at this rate I can hit 2,000 calories today. My brain is actually suggesting that I skip my workout as well. I think I need a Valium.

Bah, thats it for now, I think I'm starting to dump.

I'm SO sick of these damn underwear!!!!

Seriously, I have no idea what the hell is going on but every pair are creepers these days. I'm consistantly pulling them this way and that and its friggin irritating. On the treadmill today I resisted for as long as I could and then to the disgust of the people behind me (sorry btw) I had to dig them out. I tried to be subtle but cmon how is that possible when walking on a 2 foot wide band of moving plastic? Uh, you just gotta dive in. Apon dismounting the mill I made sure NOT to make eye contact with anyone on the equipment behind me. If I cant find suitable under garments I just may have to go commando for awhile.

I had a heavy workout today. 30 minutes on the mill, 30 minutes on the ellip. and 30 minute swim....oh and also about 20 minutes of good stretching with sit-ups. Overall I burned about 800 cals.

B: bottle lemon water

Lunch: 1.5 fresco soft tacos

Snack: apple raisin treat  (DUMPED)

Dinner (late): Plain turkey sandwich

Apple Raisin Treat recipe

1/2 a peeled, cored apple

1/3 cup raisins

dash cinnamon

1 TBSP fake butter

2 TBSP sugar free Cool Whip

Microwave for 1:30, stir, eat............Very Nummy.

I'd had the apple dish before, dont know why I dumped on it this time but may I just add AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH! HATE dumping. I swear it is probably the best deterrant EVER. I still have a bit of "dumping hangover" which means I'm sleepy and thirsty, kinda weak in the joints too. Damn it.

Molly is doing fine, she is learning how to cope with this crazy environment. Its twice as hard for her because she's 10 and because there is another dog. Poor thing. She surprised me last night by getting into her kennel all by herself, usually I have to push her in. She got in and laid down and didnt make a peep all night. We changed her food to what Sweetie eats and she gobbles it down. I have to take her to the vet for heartworm pills soon.

Child #2 grew another 1/4 inch and is really close to being 4'8". This makes a difference in her BMI so she's excited. She officially is wearing girls clothes again and I bought her the cutest outfit from Target the other day. I'll try and get a picture.

Anyway, time to get going. Tata.

'member me?

Morning. My belly is giving me shit (literally) this morning so I'm not the happiest camper in the trailer park. Child #2 (henceforth to be known as "Ungrateful Troll") has started off the day by bitching at me more than I care to be bitched at. I'm using the "talk to the hand" method of not exploding at her. Maybe if I ignore her she'll go away?? Uh, nope. We have a day loaded with chores and errands and its always so much fun when I have to do these things with children in tow. That was sarcasm, in case you missed it.

I'm taking in Molly (black cotton ball-looking dog) in for her shave this morning, lets hope the smell is eliminated once we shear her. She peed on the floor twice so far and both times were probably my fault, I'm just not used to having to walk a dog on a leash. I'll post pictures of her once she is shaved, it should be a hoot.

Anyway, I have to bolt. Maybe back later. Tata.

Being picked up @ PetSmart. Eeeeek, I'm bald!

The devil dogs and Ungrateful Troll.

She (Molly) seems happier now. She can see. In celebration of her hairloss she pooped in the house. Oh joy.
