Monday!!!

Where was your field trip to?

A gymnastics facility. The kids love it. It's actually called Community-Based Instruction and we go quite regularly.

So, the day just got significantly worse...I locked my keys in my car at tjmaxx. waiting for the towtruck now.

Ugh, I hate when that happens

The guy who came was really good looking. Too bad it only took 3 minutes for him to do his job.

It's Monday again. I slept really well last night and we're having opening day celebrations at work today.
This means at least a cookout for lunch (for free of course Bobbo)

Then hanging out with Mom tonight, and packing for a week of dogsitting at a new house

no school today, I think this is the final vacation until summer.... so I am just going to do whatever the spirit hits me to do. Maybe clean, maybe just have fun, maybe go for a walk, who knows....going for a walk would make the kids really happy I'm sure after yesterdays 7 mile hike....haha

I had been doing a carb fast for a couple weeks, and I have lost 10 pounds, but I am ready to get back to balanced eating and sugar. I am afraid I will just gain all the weight back, but I think I am going to go more towards the points system again. I think I should probably join a ww group.

I am reading a book right now called "The Gut Flush Plan" by Ann Louise Gittleman and realizing my digestive tract is all messed up and porbably riddled with yeast. Interestingly, it is a big problem with people with autism and I see a lot of my same symptoms in my students! I am going to try to do something similar Angie--that, along with supplements can help to kill off some of the yeast. I have to get some of the stuff today. I wonder if you have something similar.?? If the carb/sugar fast worked so well...

You guys don't get time off for Memorial Day?!

I am working for the insurance agent I used to work for today-wednesday. The money will be nice, but I am kind of not looking forward to it.

cool, I think I will do much better if I actually go to meetings...I did okay on line for awhile, but then I slack off....I need accountability.

Melissa, I think we have a lot of build up of things that affect us, I will probably do carb fasts occasionally, because it did work so well.

This is one of those Monday's where I wish I had stayed in bed. I need more coffee...

Opening Day in Cincinnati.
Grilled out hot dogs, brats and mets, nachos & cheese, snow cones, cotton candy, pretzals, yummo!
I'm eating a wild cherry snow cone right now

I decided to eat Mini Eggs. fool that I am.

I had so many mini-eggs yesterday. Ahhh!

Today I tried a Tim Horton's Chicken wrap which was ridiculous and then had fresh berries and veggies. Felt really good to eat so healthy! Well, not the wrap, but it was so small, I doubt it was THAT bad.

well, I went biking and jogging, and just tried to give myself a pep talk the whole time. I still need to REALLY break through these issues of worthlessness and insecurity.

Honestly Katy, it is the whole reason I think you need to understand that none of us mind hearing your problems even if it feels like you are going through it for the millionth time to you...I mean, look at me, I am 34 years old, and I have had the same issues since I was 15, maybe younger....

Every time I talk about these issues, I see something new, and I can see how I have changed and things are getting better, even if it is slow going.

So, anyway, I just tried to encourage myself tonight....I mean it isn't even summer yet, and I have dropped 10 pounds, usually I don't start until summer. And I did binge on chocolate, but I also took the initiative to go jogging....so good for me. I make tons of mistakes, but I am going to try to be a little more forgiving, and also try to really believe that I can do this and that I am worth doing this.

Here's hoping!

Back to school tomorrow.

Thanks, Angie.

I know you guys don't mind hearing about them, sometimes I just get tired of talking about some of them. And also, it hards to talk about relationship issues when I haven't fully openly talked about the relationship in the past.

I know, and I don't want to push you to talk...but I always want to be sure you know that we do all care, and that at any point when you need us to listen....here we are!

Back at work today, trying out another anitbiotic. The Dr. wants me to have another 5 days of it...so we'll see how this works
After work I'm going to this eyemart place here that's advertising two pairs of glasses for $67. So I'm going to see if they'll let me get prescription sunglasses as one of the two pairs.
Last night of dogsitting, so glad to be sleeping in my own bed tomorrow.

I am back to work and still pretty sick. And not enjoying this cleanse--everything is sour and bitter because yeast and other "corruptors" like sweet and starchy. So, there's some "getting used to this" necessary.

I am hoping, though, that in the end, I feel better. I mean, above and beyond the head cold--but overall. Something has to change.

Gonna try to take it easy today to transition the students back a bit. Then, tonight I am meeting a friend for a walk. Hoping all goes well!

It's monday. Do i really need to elaborate?

not really, we totally understand.


I just set up my first appointment with the lawyer for Friday. Now I have to dig up the contracts I used when I bought this place, hopefully this is fairly simple.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

so, i am in one of those moods where I am longing to be creative. I really want to do something that leaves a mark....I have been thinking about death and how if you never try to impact anything you just fade into nothing.

I know that line of thinking doesn't fit into Christianity, because there is life after this, but I don't know....I really want to do something significant. I want to write or be an artist of some sort....

it is interesting when I get in these moods, in ways they push you to be a better person and do something.

CRAZY!!! For the last 4 days, this concept has come up in a couple different contexts, Angie. At church, the point was: you are created in the image of a Creator and although fallen, there is something in us that longs to create and God has given us everything we need to creatively reach others in our circumstances. It just takes imagining and dreaming.

I am really struggling with how to fill the need in my life to be creative. But at least struggling means that I am moving with it...not just standing still!
