Proud Parent Moments

I am now the proud parent of a 3rd grader and an 11th grader.  I didn’t think the oldest would pull it off.  He refuses to turn in daily work but aces all of his exams.  Weird.

Proud Momma is proud.  I can now relax for 2 months.

4n4 Challenge/Summer of Scales - Day 13

Well, today I did weigh in and it was brutal.  249#

Oh well, here’s what I did wrong:  Almonds, I am looking at you.  I finally put the bag down.  I can’t eat just one serving of almonds.  I eat them all.  Literally.

But here’s what I did right: I got home from my son’s football game after 9pm last night.  My significant other went directly to bed.  I stayed up, cleaned the kitchen, made my meals for today and packed them into the fridge and cleaned the kitchen again.  That’s right…. as exhausted as I was, I stayed up and prepped my meals for today.  I realized yesterday, after forgetting to bring any food with me to work, that I have to make the decision; am I important enough?  Am I worth it?  Do I deserve better than how I have been treating myself?

Hell.  Yeah.

It’s like I finally woke up.  Sometimes you just need to hit bottom.

Nerd Love

I was just called a nerd at my job… because of my love for my planner.  I’ve named her Lily.  And I have already purchased one for 2013… his name is Marco.  These are sacred items people.  My children know that EVERYTHING goes into these planners and if it’s not in there it isn’t going to happen.

Excerpt from work convo:

Me: “I don’t know… I have a lot going on right now…”

Co-worker: “Oh come on!  You can’t be THAT busy!”

Me: “Seriously?!?!!  Lily is completely full.”

Co-worker:  *blank stare*

Me: “My planner…. Lily.” {lovingly stroking Lily}

Co-worker: “You aren’t serious? That’s so… 1980s.”

Me: *blank stare*

Co-worker:  ”Nerd.” {walks away}
