Rough Week This Week

WOW it is Monday again…how time just zipps by me when I am NOT having fun. My week went from a great start to a total disaster.

Monday – Worked with my dad, Hell froze over because daddy got me Starbucks and yummy lunch from The French Quarter, Ate dinner with my parents and had my mom check on Caleb’s eyes (I thought he had pink eye but it was just allergies…thank goodness) Mamavation & GREAT encouragement from my Sistahood Sisters that night

Tuesday – Was going to get my daughter back and well change of plans, got house exterminated and found out that I have Chinch bugs in my front lawn bc my attached neighbor disturbed them when they were trying to re-grass their grass…cost to fix it $50 per treatment * 4 Treatments = $200 AND neighbor wants me to treat their yard as well (since we do need to treat the entire issue so we can get rid of it ALL) BUT didn’t offer to pay half or partial…yeah I think NOT Money doesn’t grow on my trees and I shouldn’t have to pay for my yard since it was their fault. Plus side to my neighbor however is I found out she was a nurse…awesome since my boys always finds ways to hurt themselves or get sick…Case in point my middle child Callin (pronounced Cal-lynn) decided to put the potty lid upside down on his head taking 3 adults (myself and my parents) to pull it off.

Wednesday – Started off kilter..taught my first daycare kids PC Class but somehow I was either 30 mins behind schedule or they were ahead…either way I felt rushed and I HATE that feeling. Got to my dad’s and left pretty much right after that to go eat lunch…nothing like a hearty healthy meal from home (Belgium) and the company of my parents and sister (yes we are SUPER close and we live CLOSE by to each other) to calm this Belgium Princess down. Finished work with my dad and then went to get my daughter so we could meet with the church pastor…it is awesome to see this guy at work and how progressed my daughter is with God and wanting him in her life. However by nightfall she struck a fever and got sick…then opened up hubby’s paycheck and well let’s say when it rains it pours…but what a good example to prove to my daughter that God is there when we need Him but we have to have Faith in him.

Thursday – Woke up to a wonderful gift from Mother Nature…really? Seriously when will this part of womanhood end…btw I have endometrioses so needless to say when I have THAT time it is severely painful for me…not like any woman jumps for joy when they get theirs but I loathe mine with a passion. Sometimes I wanna be like Dr. House and just take it out myself…luckily for me I don’t like the sight of blood. Kristen still felt ill but was a little better so after teaching we got mani/pedis and went to the movies and saw Mr. Popper’s Penguins…SUPER cute movie. Heads up they are making Puss in Boots movies looks cute. Paid bills and well tried to relax…nothing relaxing after paying bills LOL

Friday – Monday was more productive I snapped out of my funk and got to working on me…shopped with my mom and had a good talk about our weight loss journey etc. I finally signed up for Jazzersie and I am starting Tuesday. So my goal is to go everyday for at least 45 min – 1 hour should be good for my weight loss AND for my stress/semi-depression.

So other than a few hills in my road, I have total faith in God and myself that we will get through this…so regardless if all this made me gain a pound or two (ate out of my diet range Thursday – Sunday) I am only human and well that just means to kick the week in the kahonas and take on the new week with a B-A-N-G!!!

How did well did you manage to eat healthy over the holiday weekend (4th of July and Canada Day)? Any tips for the rest of the summer?

I am VERY impressed with myself and my family. Usually we make all kinds of 4^th classics including Hamburgers, casseroles, desert after desert after desert…Instead this year we ate club sammis and drank lots and lots of water. Heck that was all my body craved. Did very little unhealthy snacking too. I am very proud of my family.
