ups and downs and shifting around

I say trade your stupid husband in for a cat. My cats are always loving and affectionate and never criticize me about anything..lol They love me just the way I am and don't care if I'm 100lbs overweight..lmbo Just have to clean up hair balls all the damn time...lol And the litter box--but it's worth it. :)
 
I'm allergic to cats [hamsters, birds, etc], but that idea sounds great. I've always wanted a Siamese cat. I really really do not want a hairless cat like Dr. Evil. Hard to cuddle. Fish is what we have. And lemme tell ya, they're amusing once a day- when we feed them. ;]
 
Wow!!! You look fabulous! Why are you always so down on yourself? You have no reason to be. As for trading in the hubby, a dog would be good, too---b/c you'd have to take it for walks--get you out exercising dailiy whether you wanted to or not..lol See the hubby keeps you from exercising, the dog would beg you to..lol
 
Ah, a puppy! I want a Maltese or Shitzu or something tiny and adorable. Now that's real love!
 
o0oo Trade him in for a cute little puppy!

You look fabulous! There is quite a noticable change.

I love the story about you taking your kids to the library ... it made me cry because it brought up some memories for me when I was really little. By the time my brothers could talk all they wanted to do was go to the toy store... I wanted to go to the book store and/or library... I got outnumbered :cry: You are making wonderful changes for yourself and it will move into every aspect of your life including with your kids:)
 
Yes'm, I did.

Food today-

bf- cinnamon buns
l- tuna salad [no bread or crackers]
s- RAISIN
d- cheeseburger, 2 slices whole wheat bread, light mayo, sweet CORN
s- old-fashioned oatmeal, sugar-free cherry pie filling, splenda, vanilla flavoring [kinda like a desert casserole]
 
Well, well, well, I'm just not feeling myself this morning. I "snuck" out of the house last night to watch a movie with my bro, and came home to more of a mess than I left. It just infuriates me how little my hubby does. Sure, he gave the kids a bath [give my kids a bar of soap and all you have to do is wash their hair and face- they get b/t their toes and belly buttons and everything!], but he left the clothes and towels on the floor. He didn't wash the dishes or clean up after himself. Big surprise, huh? And it makes me sick that I do everything. He didn't even hug or kiss me as I left the house last night. I suppose I should just get my head around it. :[

And last night when I took of my jeans, I looked at the mirror beside my bed and almost puked. I am not kidding. My legs look like @$$. My calves are shapely for my size, but my thighs look so blobbish and wrinkly or something. I don't know how to describe it. Shocking! So I stared for a minute and strained my mind. My upper thighs used to be solid fat. So it occurred to me that I just caught a glimpse of my thighs changing. Because the thought of it is still freaky, I vow not to look for as long as 2 weeks. Give my body some more response time and more time on the bike.

So, in summary, I have flabby thighs and a ton of work to do around the house. I'm also broke, scared about school, and trying to pray my way out of this slump.
 
I'm sorry about you're slump sweetie!:hug2: :hug2:

You'll get through it your soo strong and you don't have to do it alone. You have us!!!

My boyfriends idea o fwhat clean is and my idea of what clean is are two completely different things... his being quite gross... so I have to do it all if I want to... I'm sorry you do too...especially with also having kids to pick up after...you shouldnt' have to after a third kid.

Did you at least have a good time with your brother? See a good movie?

I havn't looked in a mirror since before I started... although, I finally have looked at my almost before pic and the one I took fo the chirstmas cloths challenge but those are fully clothed. I'm avoiding looking at myself at all costs.

Keep up the great work... we'll help you get through it:hug2: :hug2:
 
We went and saw the Bourne Ultimatim. It was worth every penny! Although, if you're prone to motion sickness like me, do not sit too close to the screen. Lots of action and camera moving.
And I love time with my bro. I was closer to my hubby's bro than my own, and after he died [2 years ago], I made a point to spend more time with my own. He was reluctant at first, but I'm wearing him down. ;]
 
My sis-in-law just called to ask if I was going shopping for my kids this weekend. [Around here, it's our tax-free weekend days. Kinda pointless if you ask me. You have to spend $100 to save $7. Unless I want to buy a computer, forget it!] I sadly told her no. It's hard enough thinking about being broke and repeating the phrase "school is worth it, the end justifies the means" over and over again to myself, but to think "school is almost here and I can't shop for my kids" is killer. So she scheduled to take us shopping next weekend. She'll get the kids some clothes to help out! My thing is, I just don't ask for help. I would have found a way eventually. I always do. ::exhales:: A little spot of sunshine for me. :]
 
I've wanted to see that I love the borne movies:)

I want to be closer to my brothers but they need a lot more growing up time... they show they love me in little ways... like late night drunk phone calls LOL (they're only 18 and 19 but we were all screwed up as kids). We have a weird relationship because I kinda "rasied" them partially... so I guess I have to just wait until they mature a bit:)

I'm glad you've made it a point to become close to your brother:hug2:

That's right, dear. We are here for ya!

My H is a bit of a neat freak--whereas I am not. So he feels your pain, although I do, too..lol

jenna, you crack me up. I feel the same way about not looking at myself in the mirror!! Except I HAVE looked--and felt like Selena.:mad:
 
I just wanted to drop by and say that you are a very strong woman!

Keep doing what is right for your kids and yourself, and don't factor an arrogant ass like your husband into the equation.
 
Try not to stress too much about things, honey. This, too, shall pass. One of my favorite sayings. I know how you feel about the finances. I spent the last 5yrs in bad fin. shape myself. So I know how stessful that can be--especially when you just want to buy things that you actually NEED. Just keep doing what you're doing--don't give up. You CAN do it, and you WILL. And once you've gotten through school, and dealt w/ the idiot husband, you will feel soooo good about things and yourself--although you should feel good about yourself already. :hug2: :hug2:
 
Everyone has to be right. It's kinda like I have to find happiness in myself. There's nowhere else that I can achieve that. It's sad to think that I've been married 6.5 years to someone who treats me like he does. Thank goodness I have my kids. I'd be severely lost without them. I really thought my hubby would change since he's leaving for at least 2 years. You'd think he'd give me something positive to hold onto.
This is so sad. My daughter is perfectly at ease with him leaving. She just wants to know if she'll ever see him again. I assured her and she let it drop. I know she'll be sad when he goes. I really think her mind understands as much of the situation as she can see. Bless their hearts. My kids need better.
