losing it again!

Thanx cinderelly, but my sleeping habbits are nothing to be proud of:( I just never sleep, I though all the exercise would help wear me out, I just cant sleep and I dont wanna use meds on account of my small daughter....
 
Gee you sound like you could do with a cuddle.

I hope you are over your crash and your cold soon.

Four easter baskets!! :eek: It's hard to have all that stuff around. As long as you remember it's hers, I'm sure you'll figure out for yourself how to deal with it in a way that suits you all.

Good job on the dust off by the way. That's the way to do it. :)

Thanx Felici...I needed that! I actually dont feel too bad considering, but I have a high fever now, This just isnt gonna be my week apparently:( Ahhh well, I will get over it...I'm mostly bummed that the bike is mucked up! As far as the four baskets I just dont know how much sugar I should let her eat! I know she is young but I try really hard to make sure she eats healthy foods! I dont want her to be a chubby kid like I was:eek: My hubby and I gave her a big basket of toys, water guns ect and some fruit snacks. But the grandmas and aunts sent sooooooo much candy!:eek:
 
Well uuummm no sleeping could possibley be from lots of caffine...LOL...drinking coffee all day cant be good for you...is it at least decaff...
 
If the choccies are out of sight it will help, and then you can limit the rate they move back to her I imagine. If she is not chubby at the moment, Easter won't make her so all by itself. :)

It's amazing how much difference a firm healthy attitude to our own food can flow on to our children without much angst. When you fully believe in the rightness of your approach enough to follow it yourself it becomes so much easier to help children follow too.

My girl is older but got soooo many eggs! Now she keeps setting up egg hunts for all her friends as they come over. I was hoping that might mean that she kept dividing them in half till they were a better number but it seems the supply is still being added to!

I have been surprised at how much difference it makes to just have that stuff out of my sight though.
 
cinderelly--I dont drink any after lunch usually...but when I cant sleep I do occasionally give in and drink it in the night, this is usually when I get alot done.But only when I am completely unable to get back to sleep;)

Cannon--Thank You:D

Felici--My little girl is not chubby, but she does focus alot on food! I know that she is very young, but if I gave in to half of her requests she would be chubby indeed...I think this has alot to do with the entire extended family being LARGE, whenever she sees a relative there is alot of junk food involved all of the grandmothers and aunts bake and have tons of junqe food on hand and we just never keep that stuff around, so she asks for it alot...
Another thing is here in the US we are having alot of kids with diabetes ect. I hear all these facts and statistics and they scare the hell outta me! So I try to approach every day with caution...of course she doesnt know any of it. I dont try to explain really I just quetly monitor and keep lots of fruits and veggies she likes on hand...as for the baskets your right easter isnt gonna do her in...I may need to lighten up...:eek:
 
This is day 23 on track...I am feeling pretty happy with myself. I am not gonna lose track this time! I am actually beleiving that I can do this... But yesterday I was in pain and feeling sick and today it looks like I am headed back to my chiropractor...I injured my hip in karate a few monthes back and my hip was 2.5 inches out of allignment and apparently crashing the bike has reinjured it...But I am feeling ok overall...just having some hip pain and some penched nerves, but I have had alot of injuries like this and I know its not that big of a deal, other than having to go get more x-rays ect of the hip wich gets pretty costly.I guess I was doing so well I should have expected this! :D Overall the worst part will be explaining to Dr. Rae another rediculouse injury, Im pretty sure he thinks I am NUTS...But hey I must be one of his better customers so o well;)
 
Obesity and junk eating in childhood is also a problem here and in other places too. You are totally right about this being an area which needs care and making sure you have lots of fruit and vege there for her.

Having something worth eating instead of junk is most of the battle for us - why shouldn't it work for kids too! :)

If your touch was real heavy those baskets wouldn't be at your house in the first place. It sounds to me like you are doing a great careful job with your little one. I love four year olds. I often teach them. I bet she loves having a menagerie at your place. :)

How's the bug going?
 
Thanx felici...the bug isnt so bad, I have a low fever and some sniffles but nothing to really complain about.
Four years old, surely this must be the greatest age...smart enough to not be a baby, yet small enough to get away with too much:)
Are you a teacher? Thats really cool!
 
they (whoever they are I don't know - let's go with Maleficent says) it takes 28 days to build a habit - you're darn close to that habit built - totally awesome :)
 
Thanx Mal...that must mean Im in the habit of exercise! WOOOO HOOOOO!
I hadnt thought of it that way *I'm smiling now* Or maybe you meant Im hooked on the forum for good...:confused: ....either way...I like!
 
Good Morning :)
Sorry to hear about the crash - how bad was the bike? And...not to be overly motherly, but you were out, AT night, in shorts and sandles on a motorcycle in 35 degree temps?????

::: shakes my head :::
;)

As for candy - Megan eats her fill the day of the event and the day after, then the candy goes into a bag and into one of her cupboards in the kitchen. She helps herself whenever she wants some candy.

She gets a ton in October for Halloween, anything left over by Easter gets thrown away - Easter candy is thrown out by Halloween.

After awhile, she doesn't tap into it all that much - but she knows it's there.
 
Hey M2M thats sounds like an effective candy system...out of the baskets on the table and into the cubbard it shall go...
As for the crash, I dunno what I was thinking but i had just gotten it. I could have easily went in the house and put on shoes, I thought about it but said ahhh well just for a short ride...Then I noticed the well lighted golf course just sitting there,said what the hell and headed across the street. :rolleyes: I have ridden dirt bikes and such but made a stupid mistake I shifted from 4th to first by pushing down, most anyone who rides would have know to shift back up into 3rd and so on...I didnt think about it...so the chain came off and locked up the back wheel at about 50 mph:eek: So I held her up pretty good while she dug a trench(thank god the country club is no longer open or this would have been bad...)So then I kinda slipped sideways and dug it into the dirt wich caused it to roll once...over me.(its a chopper and hard to hold up anyway) Not bad really but the rear wheel had a broken bearing wich I will have to order online:mad:Geez...only had it an hour!
Its a very small bike:D thank goodness, but Im a little bruised and scraped...lol at least no one really saw it, woulda made it much worse!
 
OMG. That sounds like a bigger adventure than I'd thought. I'm not surprised you're heading for the chiropractor!!
