Just forget about the weight thing for now.....it just seems like I have no time for exercise and with a 'procedure' coming up later this month, I have no desire. I am trying to eat right and I've given up candy for the Lenten season.....It's everywhere at work, many of my favorites.....it's my downfall to my diet......Jolly Rancher's, little Snicker snack thingys, and I even eyed some Twizzlers at my Brother In Law's this past Sunday. It's everywhere and they are all against me!
In the realm of good news, we got our taxes done. The bad part being Husband wants to shove it all in savings where I'd love to pay off some credit card debt. Not that it's bad mind you, but I'm at the highest I've ever been. I did talk him into contributing to the kid's savings. They deserve it!
I've banished myself to a torture budget, which I unknowingly kicked to the curb last week and went $57 OVER budget. I only get $93 this week to make up for last week's insane purchase frenzy. That probably sounds like a lot, but with diapers, dog food, etc. last week was a crazy spending fiasco. Husband insists he'll be paying for the food for Handsome's birthday party....we'll see.
Husband is on my poop list. We, when I say we, I mean HE, had a company come out two weeks ago to measure our basement windows for covers so that skunks will no longer spray in our window wells. I received what I thought was a quote for the covers, $710 for 3 window covers with metal grates. Husband went out to look at the windows as I had pleaded with him to check out the local hardware store as they were $80 each , but were only the plastic part.......he comes back inside and asks if my father installed covers. I say no. Apparently I didn't read a quote, I read an INVOICE!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Holy $hit! We just spent $400 more than we should have!!??!!? We never authorized the work, but conveniently, they are EXACTLY what Husband wanted......... I so would've rather paid off more of my credit card bill!!!!!! I'm not letting Husband off too easily as I told him to give them a call and tell them we NEVER authorized the work......::Note to self, NEVER LET HUSBAND SET ANYTHING UP IN THE FUTURE!!!!::
In the children department, if someone would tell me what I can do to make my child eat normal food, it would be much appreciated. Handsome is still on a refusal to eat anything that will make me gag diet(perhaps I should try this), which includes any solid food that involves chewing. Pasta is alright, hot dogs are alright, yogurt, ice cream, puffs, my choices are limited. I think it's time to break out the blender and start pureeing some chicken so at least he'll eat it......
Sweet Pea has had an attitude lately. I can't seem to find the right method to counteract it. I can't get her in time out to save the life of me and I've threatened spankings. I won't spank her as now that seems to be the easy way out. How do you reason with a four year old? I'm not giving up......I know 50% is my fault.......Not that she's terrible mind you, I get compliments on how wonderful she is......just not in the safety of her own home where she can be herself! ::wink:: Oh, she's also a crappy eater. I could give both of my children ice cream and cake for dinner and they would both still eat horribly.
