The Vent

Brutally honest is hard for me Spirit, but I'm trying. I've been exercising like crazy lately and I finally threw in the towel yesterday, realizing that if I really pushed myself that hard I was only going to get worse. ~sighs~ I feel like a blob though.

treble- I had a bit of a fever yesterday and a sore throat. Today it's much better though, feels like it's moved into my head...what a headache! I'll keep an eye on it though, making sure that if it gets worse to take care of it. I'd much rather not go to the doctor, but if I absolutely have to, I will manage to get my butt there! I'm really trying hard not to stress about the whole thing.

E- I love your mantra. I'll try it, although, hubby doesn't want much of anything to do with the wedding! He just can't wait for it to be over, and I must say, I'm beginning to feel that way too right about now.

Spirit- I've been meaning to buy that book. Hopefully someday soon. Those all sound like me. Right now, because it's pretty much a DIY wedding, it's all about creativity. I've stifled it for so long that I'm not doing so well when it comes to being creative. I feel like I'm terrible at everything! Thanks for those affirmations! I'll try them.

Okay, so I guess this sickness might be a direct reflection about how I'm feeling about myself. ~sighs~ It's time to get back on the positivity train and tell myself that I love myself!

Oh as well as E's mantra, add this one too:

Be gentle with yourself.

(I do wish I could take my own advice...hee hee.)

Ugh I just got into a argument with a parent about my son. I literally get out of my car and this huuuge lady with like 3 teeth in her mouth comes running at me cursing and telling me she's tired of my son hurting her son. Yet every witness says her son tripped over a stick and fell down.

I am not one of those parents who thinks my son sh1ts rainbows. I know where he goes wrong and I know when he's lying and he honestly wouldn't just push someone, he's not violent at all. He wouldn't push a 4 year old child.

So she walks away before I can even say anything and I get the other side of the story from everyone else. Including the fact that she told my son she was going to kick his ###.

So I have to walk over to her place and I tell her that threatening him isn't going to make the situation better, that if she has a problem to come to me. I tried to tell her to calm down and she wouldn't and I went on to tell her what my son said and she looks at my son and says: "LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!"

I just looked at her and said: "Okay this conversation isn't going anywhere, you're far too immature to even discuss the situation."

That lady has Pine Barrens, SouthJersey, written all over her.

That happened to my brother when he was little. This terrible, old witch of a lady kept on screaming at my mother after school that a kid she was babysitting was being beaten up by my brother. My brother was no angel,b ut this kid's track record at school was SUPER bad and he was a total trouble maker. My brother was just a little hyper active. My mum basically told the lady to shut her pie hole and if the kids ACTUAL mother wanted to come talk to her, than that would be a start. Never happened. She just wanted to stick her nose in.

my hubby is driving me crazy... last week he looked me in the eye and said, "this is my last pack of smokes"... a few days later he buys a new pack and then today while he was waiting for his dad to pick him up he asks me if I have any cash and I ask, "why do you need cash?" and he is like, "oh, um in case I want to buy something" and I ask, "why not just be honest and say you want to buy a pack of smokes" and he said, "yeah" and then he said, "this is the last pack I swear"

Hey Marilyn,

If he really wants to quit, has he look into smoking cessation program? States and usually health insurance provides those at no cost. Maybe that is all he needs: a little push.

he says he really wants to quit but his problem is that he is around too many people that smoke.. like at work and his family...

his brother gave him some off that gum but my hubby didn't try it.... his brother still smokes too.. he tried to quit and failed

i try not to bug him about quitting smoking but sometimes he smokes in the car that we both share and I have made it very clear to him that if he wants to smoke he can't smoke in the car.. so it kind of annoys me when he does smoke in the car

What about trying the nicotine patch? That worked for my mother who was a lifelong smoker. Unfortunately, by then the damage had been done and her lungs permanently damaged.
