I was going to add a pic of Gordon this morning, but this one caught my eye….and it’s how I feel this morning…Magnus and Stephanie…in rehearsal I think.

How can I think about what I had to eat yesterday? I’ve got so much to do!!! But I want to keep track so….

semi-healthy pb on whole grain white bread

no lunch, forgot lunch, brought checkbook with me but it turned out to be empty, so just went to gym on lunch hour.

back home: ate lunch I’d packed - same as this moringing’s breakfast, didn’t finish.

supper: two tortillas, refried beans, marble jack cheese - 2-3 oz. ground beef

snack: frozen berries, finished J’s noodles, queso fresco, a little sharp cheddar, 3 rye wasa crackers

R got paid today - nice surprise, we thought it would be Monday. It’s probably half gone already, I’m paying bills as we speak.

Went for an early-morning jog this morning. Don’t feel very motivated though…the song that gave the most oomph! out there was “Move Along” AAR, I think is who sings it.

I am in a “mood” but what else is new????

Diet is going super though!

Haven’t ate breakfast yet, need to do that, need to pack my lunch for work, need to think about getting J ready to go to grandma’s. Grandma sounded iffy on the phone about keeping J today…wonder if she’d really be glad (as I thought) if I got a full time job….

 85 days until……school starts! I feel a little rotten admitting that I’m counting the days….just a little tho’.

We’re going clothes shopping tmw -day and to a Watoto concert tmw -evening, then J is spending the night with cousins “KRRRACKATOOOAA!” and if only N would get invited to one of his friends, R and I could chase each other around the house!

I’ve got a ton of stuff to do to get ready for tmw, and I’ve been meaning all day to get out for a run! I think I’m gonna say to heck with the housework, for now at least and just get out there!

peace out! Ha! (I’ve been listening to Usher)

Where did it say that just because it’s a holiday that gives me the liscense to eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and EAT!!!!???? OH, I feel like Willy…as in a WHALE!

Oh, let me see if I can remember it all…..it passed as if in a dream…..a tasty, scrumptious, fat filled, sugar laden dream…..

…..the last thing I remember is throwing two packages of Brats and three packages of hot dogs on the grill……there was smoke….and when it cleared, I had eaten 2 brats, 2 hot dogs, 2 huge helpings of baked beans, some Doritos, a glass of sweet tea, and 2 or 3 S’mores AND a piece of Angel food cake with fresh from the garden strawberries! Who KNOWS how many calories…..ugh, I feel like I need to crawl into a dark place and sleep it off……

I am so freakin’ fed up with N!!!! And I’ve still got 87 days until school starts!!! *collapses into a heap sobbing* He just doesn’t have enough to do to keep himself busy so he teases J constantly and R is as useless as tits on a boar hog when it comes to disciplining him! Well, thank God for his Playstation - that thing is worth it’s weight in gold!!! At least it keeps him occupied from time to time! Why are Teenagers so DAMN ANNOYING???? Oh, I love him……I just can’t stand his infantile behavior - mainly because he keeps it coming 24/7! I can’t help comparing him to his friends - C for instance. That boy is not real. He’s a “Stepford Son” I swear! S - he’s a suck-up to grown ups, but even if you know he’s lying to you, what he says is so sweet you just fall in love with him…. and J - aside from the fact that in a couple of years he’s gonna be so hot the pavement he walks across will melt….he’s got his parents wrapped, I believe. I wonder if they know he talks to girls at all hours on his cell phone…and the music he listens to….hmmmm. But he’s just as sweet and innocent as sugar…and POLITE, my lands!!! Yep, N has some interesting friends! Well, Mrs. Puff says that from the 7th to the 8th grade, kids do a lot of maturing….”Oh! Please let her be RIGHT!!!!

some chicken noodle soup/ part of a hershey bar/ 1 roasted marshmallow

It’s 12:20 now (noon) and I feel a little sick…sometimes digestion makes me feel like this…I wonder if it’s because of what I ate….?

p.s. my 6 yr. old just came into the office and said “I would feel embarrassed if I knew someone was reading that about me!” Wow! Maybe I do get to “free” on this blog….oh well, I guess I don’t really care….it’s nice, being free enough to not care too much what people think….sometimes I’ve gotta reign it in tho’ or risk embarrassing my kids.

N’s got 5 boys coming over for a BBQ and sleepover - it should be a lot of fun…but whew! I’ve got to get off my butt and back to cleaning!
