As my ticker shows ------------>
Even though we are only about (on Avg) 235 days away from an empty house, I seem to be still wrapped up in lots of people. Not really where I wanted to be in this stage, but working on it.
Mom --- Well she is still not taking back her agenda. I am still caring for her and #1 niece. Doesn't bother me about mom. Bothers me about niece. Though she lives with my mom I feel HER mother should be stepping up and help in the care of niece. I just don't understand why this seems to not be others opinion. But alas, I will. Last night I got the pleasure of dealing with nieces Parent/Teacher Conference. Which we now have renamed Aunt/Teacher Conference. :) Though my ideas of going forward with actions in classroom is totally different than those of my mother, or niece mother. But you put me in that position? I will do it MY WAY. Mom is still not driving so *pointing to self* I on top of my other tasks are now Chauffeur. Which didn't I just hang up that hat? (ie son .. lol)
I will give moms husband credit, he took vacation last week and tried step in my place. They did okay. Though niece and mom were more than happy to see my return yesterday. ROFL Though I still didn't get a break as I spent everyday tearing apart 1 room of house and cleaning it silly. :P (Have a dinner coming up the house needed the extra TLC)
Teen --- I really haven't dealt with all that much lately. Luckily he can sort of manage on his own. But really hasn't been making great choices, though I don't have the time to stand on top of it to correct. Due dates for Colleges are coming and going. Unfortunately more going than coming. *sigh* I am not sure at this rate he will be attending. But I have got to let it go. Just as his career choice has changed. I have to let it go. Who am I to say what to do in life? (Though my OBJECTION is duly noted. *grr*) He is still being stalked by the ex-girlfriend NC. The new girlfriend SM (according to him) messed up and went to another Homecoming with another guy, so they are on the outs, oh wait no back on the ins, wait no, umm .. what day of the week is it? LOL .. saying this on and off thing I can't keep straight.
Husband --- Do I still have one? lol. Yeah, he is just around. We met coming and going. Quite a bit. Though we have been making time to at least go to Farmer's Market & having lunch. So we catch up then. His hours have been crazy, but soon he will have a new, and oh so we hope PERMANENT, position on days. Oh yeah that is awesome. But really why matter now? Teen grown and 1 foot out door. Nothing going on around here now. lol. Oh well. Least he can now do his thing. SPORTS. Gotta watch those sports. *giggle*
So that is about the wrap up around here. I am still spreading self thin and meeting self coming and going.
Which brings me to a quote I saw this morning on MFP:
OK....This weeks word of the week wreaks of this.....ATTITUDE!!!!
We all got it...we all display it in different ways....
However...sometimes we get the "TUDE" for the wrong reasons...
Now tell me...why do u act like this just cant be happening
when the scale heads upward,
especially after u stuffed your face with all the high caloric content,
then u want to step on the scale and act all angelic!!! Come on....
Thats not the attitude i'm referring to...
I want the "TUDE"...the one where positive vibes just flow...
I want the "TUDE" that this too shall pass,
I WANT THE ATTITUDE that no matter how i stumble,
i will find a way to correct my mistakes, my falters, my temptations...
and turn it all around...WHY???
Cuz i have the attitude I'm worth it!!!
So there ya go...give me some ATTITUDE!!!
But this just isn't about scales, weight-loss, and eating for me. I feel this in many avenues in life at this moment. I really need to do some more soul searching. I have come a long way, but there is more I need to adjust.
