LOL!! Are you sure you'd want ME to babysit? They might be freaked out by my California-ness. All that raw vegan food, yoga, liberalism, and hyphy music might not sit well with them ;) LOL!
 
That treadmill experience sounds awesome, triumphant, union-izing, etc.....I had "one of those days" on Monday, too--and yesterday turned out diametrically different, thank goodness!

My kids don't get freaked out. If anything, they'll freak you out. :D They are quite imaginative, after all, they are mine. :biggrinjester: Actually they are great. You just have to keep their minds stimulated and they'll do the rest. :beating:

Sounds like some awesome kids! What are they, 10 and 8? I can't remember....I DO remember being 8-10 was fucking outtasite for me! I sure do love kids. However, I don't talk down to kids because it pissed me off when I was young, when adults did that. I can tone down the language, but kids get pretty much treated like equals around me.
 
September 25

Okay I've been MIA, yesterday was crazy busy at work and then I did homework most of the evening. I had 2 count em 2 exams in my Psy class today.. back to back. I feel I did okay, this is my easy class this semester but I am enjoying it for the most part.

I did not do hills last night mostly because my body was pretty tired from Monday's and Tuesday's workouts so I stretched and did my therapy for my back (degenerative disc disease in 1 disc... gives me problems here and there). Tonight is another 3 miles and hopefully I will get out and do the loop, but if not thats okay too, as I said before the tredmill works just fine.

TJ gets out of class here in a few hours and we still havent celebrated my birthday, but I think this afternoon is going to work. Just a late lunch and drinks... looks like we might hit up happy hour somewhere... I texted her last night and said I was in desperate need of a girls night out. Stephen is really dragging me down with all of his negativity and I need an evening away. He hasn't been himself since the turck incident, which is understandable and I've tried to do what I can to make him feel better, but he just falls back into this slump... maybe he needs time away from me aswell. We have lived together for over a year and its been fairy tale MOST of the time, but over the past 3 months reality has struck him more than me... he had never been out on his own until we moved in together and he didn't know how hard it would be... and yeah its hard, but you don't dwell on it.. you do what you can and move on... that's what life is about. I love him to death and would do anything for him and I am just hoping that he starts to be himself again...

I will get off my soap box now... sometimes you just gotta vent ya know. It won't happen often since he and I have such a great relationship... but on the rare occasion it does happen I appologize in advance!!

Um, that's all for now... I'm going to go find a nice spot under a tree to relax and have a snack until TJ is out of class.
 
Relaxing under a tree... that sounds excellent right about now. :)

Enjoy your belated bday outing.

If your relationship is anything like mine, time apart works wonders. Krista and I have (and I'm not just saying this) the healthiest relationship I've ever seen.

We get comments about it constantly, which actually get old.

I've been with her since high school... guess we started dating in 1998. In all those years, I shit you not, we have not fought once. Ever. It's rare that any attention exists even.

We live and die by two rules:

1. Always be open and honest about everything... feelings included. If everything is out in the open, it's much easier to navigate the giant vehicle a relationship is.

2. Always be aware and understanding of the fact that although it's a partnership... we're both two, independent beings. Be trustful and supportive, even if what one is doing doesn't involve another.

Yea, you don't need all this love medicine bullshit. And I'm probably coming off as an expert... which I'm definitely not. I'm sure what works for some won't work for others. All I know is it works for us.
 
Step is a great guy, and he's so good for you. That's the big picture. Giving someone a little space when they need it is so helpful at times. I wouldn't worry about it.

Have fun tonight. :waving:

7 and 9 on next Wenesday. They are outtasite. I never talk down to them. If anything I'll talk over their heads, or at least I think I do. Then they come back with a poignant response. :ack2:

My son was asking me something about magnets or something, so I told him about how a simple electro magnet is made. Then last night he's at sign ups for Cub Scouts and sees a board with a nail on it with a wire wrapped around it, and the wire is connected to a battery. He tells my wife that he thinks that's an electromagnet. :sifone: We had that discussion driving somewhere like two weeks ago and he put it all together in his head and can recognize it, and he's not yet 7.

Nope, never talk down to them. They'll always come up to your level.

(sorry to brag about my kids. Typical dad.)
 
Hey girl thanks for checkin in on me. And thanks for the kind words. I have been in a serious slump lately and I just seem to be getting further and further into it. I'm up 8 lbs from my lowest of 133. I am seriously trying to get back to the grind now though... for me.

I'm sorry to hear about Steph being so negative lately. I'm sure he doesn't mean to be towards you, but it's probably something he's having a hard time controlling right now. I hope you have fun with your girls night!! I'd love a girls night! I don't know nearly enough girls to have one though haha. I get along with guys much better. I hope school is going well. I see you had a couple exams in Psy! Sheesh I hope that went OK. I haven't gotten behind YET, but I am swaying on the border. I have analytical homework due tomorrow that I haven't started. I may just copy or hand it in late.

Hey so did you get my present yet? We're almost into October here!!

Thanks for the wise words. Step's and I relationship I would say is the same as yours. We are very open with everything and are able to communicate to one another. And like your relationship we have never really had a fight and have never gone to bed angry. Long walks work best for us when things are tense and then life makes sense again.

Hey lady, your welcome. I hope things turn around soon. I think we all know how hard it is to get out of a slump. But you are strong and I know things will start looking up.

My girls night... well it was just TJ and I... was kind of a bust. We had a nice late lunch and I had one drink... and although TJ was sure she was going to have me falling over drunk it just didn't happen... I wasn't in the mood... but we had a nice chat and caught up on life.

I have not received your present yet, but I'm sure any day now it will come and I will let you know as soon as it does!!!
 
September 29

Lunchtime. I am currently eating a bowl of progresso chicken noodle soup and a few club crackers. Our fridge is a little empty, hopefully we will get to the store tomorrow.

My weekend was low key... did alot of nothing... and alot of A&P homework which I just finished up the last of it. We ran the loop yesterday, did pretty good felt really good. And yeah that's pretty much it. I have a nutrition test tomorrow so I don't know what kind of WO I will get in this evening, but hopefully something.

That's all for now.

That's good to hear.

Beating the hell out of Krista always works well for me.

:p

Just teasing!
 
I'm reading your diary and shuddering from thoughts of my college days. I totally know what you are going through...the endless exams, papers, presentations, reading, study groups, cramming, yadda yadda yadda. On top of trying to hold down a job, full time relationship, and friend and family obligations. And amongst all of that you also have to find time for yourself. It seems like a near impossible task, yet it can be done...and that is why college grads are typically more successful in life. Because it shows that you have the dedication and commitment to handle your business and show you are above the average stupid man on the street. LOL

Keep going...even when you feel like it's all crashing down on you. Pick yourself up, keep reading, studying, and making time for yourself. Before you know it you'll be walking the stage wondering where the hell time went. hehehe It is ALL worth it.

Good job on the treadmill run. Now that the daylight hours are getting shorter you may find yourself on there a lot more often. Good thing is that you can't squeeze Step on there so it really is an individual accomplishment that doesn't need a partner. Keep it up!!

:iagree: You are fantastic, MDF. And Steph will get himself out of his slump--slumps don't last forever! Have a great day :D

It's great to see someone brag about his kids--if you were nonchalant I'd be horrified! Glad they're so smart--I love kids that age! Puberty sucks :p
 
There's a whole bunch of us dads on here that brag about our kids. Me, Ed, JZ, Cabbie, we should start a WLF club that does nothing but brag about our kids. :D
 
Hang in there :)

My weekend was pretty low-key for once too, lol... Lots of sleep.

I'm planning on a WO tonite too... Mondays after work are always the hardest for me to drag my ass to the gym... I'm going to do it though.
