Today is a day. I am trying pretty hard to keep my kids from making me CRAZY. They were up late last night for a school play, and up at the crack of dawn for no reason. It is close to 5 p.m., I am doing my best to keep the little one from taking a nap and the 6 year old is crying hysterically because it's raining and she can't go outside... I don't get it... I feel absolutely bewildered. There is absolutely NOTHING I can do... I could try putting her in her room, but that would only cause things to escalate. Believe me, my 6 year old can throw a MONSTER of a tantrum... I don't think I could deal with it today. My parents spanked me, but I honestly don't see the point --- other than the stress release it would give me.... believe me - I've thought about it. Parenting is TOUGH.
I am surprised that I haven't been to the kitchen over this. I am glad to be writing this so that I don't have to go to the kitchen. I am weighing in tomorrow and I am not going to show a gain -- especially since I've redeemed myself over the last 4 days. I am less than 4 pounds away from my lowest weight of the last year. I need to get there by vacation... I have two more weeks... I know I can do this. Exercise has been good. Today we were at the park all morning, but tomorrow I have a FAST 3 mile run planned. My record is 34 minutes... Pathetic to some I am sure, but I am SLOW always, and anything sub 12 is a VERY VERY good day.
