Par-Taaay Har-Taaay!
Yep…me. Partying hard the last couple days. I was the guest for a Surprise party. And you will never guess who threw it for me! I did! It was a surprise attack pity party…complete with lemon cake! **insert sarcasm** GO DEB!
Sitting there at the end of a day full of eating (mostly bowls of cereal I might add) with a plate of lemon cake and a fork, I was surrounded by me and my little pity mini me’s. (We wore hats). It was pathetic…probably one of the best pity parties Ive thrown. Maybe the fact that it seemed to come after such a successful week was what caught me off guard the most. Honestly tho…in hindsight…I could feel it coming…it was building up and if I listened hard enough would have heard the Jaws theme music playing.
Without going into major detail…Im just feeling overwhelmed again. My kids have been sick off and on for almost a month now…no time to be alone in my thoughts…to get my plan of action in gear (I am easily distracted). Ive been nursing my foot…something weird going on like a muscle tearing or something but cant afford the Doc…Yet I had to take my 14 y/o to the Doc yesterday and between the doc visit and the meds spent $120, not including gas. Now my 12 y/o is home and I need to get him the $45 med which is generic btw! Don’t get me wrong…I will always take care of my kids…didn’t complain to them. Im digging into whats left for grocery and electric for this last month. I am also stirring more and more anger issues over this divorce…old memories, broken dreams…blah blah blah! So I found myself at my own surprise pity party/mini meltdown.
NOW…New Day…Deep Breath…today is a new day…I am trying to start it off right. I had wheat bran flakes and banana for breakfast. The hard part will be to carry this through the rest of the day.
I did my bi-weekly weigh in and somehow managed to go down another pound…don’t know how. It just most likely has not caught up yet. But I am hoping to undo the damage and lose a bit more before next weigh in.
Time to catch up with you guys…in between medicating my boys.
Love’s ya!!
Oh, Deb. Hang in there, girl. Work hard to get that cake off! I know you can do it! Congrats on the pound.
Hey Deb, start chugging that water girlie, and stay out of the kitchen as much as you can. Mind that food. Give it a good rub and it might help a bit.
Meant to write “mind that FOOT” not “FOOD”… half asleep here!
Haha Blaithin! I thought, hmmmm…not a bad idea to put a spicy rub on the cake…I wont eat it that way…LOL!
Love yah Deb but I don’t have time to read.
Just trying to swing by all my girl’s blog to say hi! 
WELL WE ARE GOING TO DO GREAT THE REST OF THIS WEEK RIGHT!!
((Deb)) Hang in there sweetie. Things have a way of working out
Good job staying positive!
((((((Debbi)))))) Thinking of you.
There were mini-me’s and you wore hats!! ROFL… now I know it’s not funny, but I honestly pictured mini Deb’s sitting next to you on the couch with their mini forks and plates with crumbs of lemon cake on it.
You’ve been doing so well Deb :] This is a little bump that you’ve already drove over and passed on by and now you will make it the whole day choosing the right things and at the end of the night feel great about your decisions! Next time those Mini-me’s come to your door tell them there’s no party here and send them off :p
LOL! I love that you were having such a great party that there were party hats and all! Sorry, I shouldn’t laugh but I like the sarcasm. It’s done and it’s over and it’s back on track. no one is perfect and if these binges didn’t happen every now and again then I think we would go crazy!!
Hope the kids are feeling better soon.
Take care
LOL Bri! I pictured the mini me’s but not the mini forks & plates! Too funny!
Well lets hope the mini me’s ate more of the cake than the major me! LOL!!
Not to be nosey but cant you get the ex to help with the kids medical bills? I mean they are his kids too. The only reason I ask is I went thru that as a kid. My dad always seemed to ‘forget’ he was a dad when it came time to split the bills. I think he still owes my mom over 10K.
Ok girl, you had a pity party without me? lol Yeah, but my idea would have been to ditch the cake, grab the beer and crank up the music!
It is stressful having sick ones. I cant nag ya about the foot as I still havent seen the doc for my knee. Lets see, hubbys can kill him and mine just hurts–while yours is the kids so its no contest huh girl–oh I know. Finances–digging that hole a little deeper every day it seems. But, you know what–one day things are gonna start clicking for us and by god, things are gonna rock for us!!!!
(need that beer? lol)
I just went in the forums–I LOVE IT–dances around because I have debbi on my team…i’m soooo happyyyyy!!!!!
lemon cake? mmmmmmmmm hehe
I hope these kids get better !!! no more doctor visits!
((((((((Deb)))))))) take care of that foot. Congrats on the pound!
aww… but you did paint a great picture! hope you and your kids are feeling better soon
