Trops Diary

Damn! I just got word that the kids weren't good at camp. Now there is no trip to the water park tonight. (Whine, "but I wanted to go") Lots of tears at home. I'll have to find something to make them sorry and punished, and then something fun. Not as fun as the water park but still fun. I know that they'll behave tomorrow.

And sometimes you just want to put them in a cardboard box and drop them off on the side of the road . . . oh, wait. My bad. Another Chipmunk moment.
 
If I was really mean, I'd take them to the park and they would watch me go on all the rides. I'm not that mean, though.
 
Yesterday my daughter got an ink stamp at the library. On the way home she stamped all over her hands and arms. I was pissed because I had to stop somewhere on the way home and didn't have a way to clean her up. She's 8 and a half and knows better. Instead of throwing it away I made her throw it away. She didn't complain one bit.

Wow. I just had deja vu . . . except mine involved white out . . .
 
Nah, my kids are the second two best things to happen to me. Wouldn't trade it for anything. The challenge is to help each of them grow into their own person without crushing the spirit. Also, you can't let them make you more crazy then is healthy. It's really a wild ride. :driving:
 
I'm afraid if I had kids I would leave them everywhere....if the way I leave my keys everywhere is any indication...I'd be screwed...

Mine involved Desitin...

Yesterday we were at Target and Abby looked at me and said, Mommy, you are fat.

I have never been taken aback by a comment she has made as I was with that one. I have no idea where she learned it but I had to tell her that was not a nice thing to say and that it hurt my feelings. Of course, she started to cry, etc...I get her calmed down and we get to the check out where she proceeds to tell the cashier that she was crying b/c she said something mean and I yelled at her...

There are some days where I swear I can't do anything right :)
 
Where are you at weight-wise, Trops? In our race to 199 I feel I must inform you: I weighed in at 200.5 this morning, down 2.5lbs from Fri!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!! :biggrinjester:

Way to go, brother! I've been slowed at 206-207, but today I just went out for a really long bike ride. 3.5 hours of riding. Killer. I don't recommend it except that it's so much fun. Well, now I'm 201.8 I'm sure it's all water weight.

Break that barrier, brother! :smash:
 
Day 89

Midnights +day shift (Sunday)

Last few days weren't good ones. The Fourth was a barbecue where I started off good and just had some veggies and dip, but then went into chicken and sausage. Good for me I left before the desert.

Yesterday I worked a double shift, midnight into day shift. I didn't eat horrible, but I was hungry all day. I also had no energy to workout, just go to sleep because I had the same for today. I ate cereal, but was still hungry so I had more. I ate way too much. For dinner we went to a beach shack, and I had a chicken wrap, but I also ate every last french fry. Not good, Trops, not good.

Today I am working the midnight shift into day again. I want to go out running, but I'm just way too tired. When I'm done here I just want to go home to sleep. Tomorrow I have just a single shift, so I should be able to get some sleep and work out. The kids don't have camp all this week, so I don't know how much sleep I will get, but it will be more then today.

I haven't been on the scale in a few days, but I can just feel like my weight has gone up. Tomorrow will not be a good weigh in, I know it.
 
Sometimes ya just get those days man. Don't worry about it, don't let it hinder you... just get back going as soon as you can.
