Mixed feelings
My hubby and I are still at our training and I feel that these two presenters were sent from Heaven above. Nearly everything they are talking about can be applied directly to our son and I feel so hopeful that we’re going to be able to make some good progress with him. They even spent some personal time after the session today talking with us about him and asked us to make a list of things he likes to do and things he can do and they would work on some plans for him themselves.
Other good things are that I got in an hour on the treadmill this morning and did as good as I could with food. For breakfast I had yogurt, cereal and 2 scrambled eggs and for supper I had grilled sirloin and steamed broccoli and green beans. Lunch, however, was catered and included a baked potato, salad and soup. Not awful but not what I would have chosen. I did ignore the brownies they served at snack time and the bagels/muffins they served for breakfast. Then, when I went shopping tonight I found 2 pairs of navy dress shoes. It may not sound like much but I have honestly been looking for navy dress shoes for the last 4 months. To top it off the store was having a huge sale so I got 4 pairs of shoes for $70. I love a bargain.
The reason I titled this “mixed feelings” is because of all of the flooding going on around here. I feel oh so superficial to be giddy about navy shoes when peoples’ lives are literally washing away. I just talked to my mom and dad who live in a suburb of Cedar Rapids, IA (the town that has been on the news for the last few days) and I’m honestly not sure if we’ll be able to get to their house tomorrow night to get our kids. They are closing major interstates as well as smaller highways all over the state and the flooding is not even at it’s worst yet. Our town got a bunch more rain and I’m just hopeful that we don’t have any water in our basement but I’m not going to worry too much about it b/c I know thousands of people would love to only have to worry about water in their basement.
Thanks for the positive comment on my blog.
I also love a bargain, especially with shoes!
Hope the flooding doesn’t get any worse for you. So hard to watch all the devasation hitting the mainland right now. Floods and tornados everywhere…..
Kudos to ya for skipping the brownies. I love a deal as well. I have so many coupons when I go shopping its not even funny. And I only ever buy stuff online if I have a great discount code. When I was younger, a teen, and did the shopping for my family my Mom called me the coupon queen… that and the freezer queen bc I was forever organizing it and could tell anyone exactly what was in there and where. lol Now that amuses me, I do the same thing now… but it doesn’t amuse my husband so much, he wishes I would just leave everything where it is so that he could find it. lol
