Hey Folks.. I am back.. Sorry for the disappearance. Got real sick over the weekend, and just checked out for a while. Let me catch ya up. NOTHING is going on. Sad, isnt it? Well, I guess nothing might be a slight exaggeration.. I have been working - which is good on one hand, as I am earning $$. Not that I've SEEN any of it yet, but its money nonetheless. On the other hand, I have been really slacking at keeping all the balls in the air - as my taking a 40+ hours a week job does not affect my workload at home at all. In fact, it almost seems to get worse. This week's problem is dinner.
He calls each night around 7pm, on his way home and asks what's for dinner. Now, mind you - he has refused to tell you what time he's coming home until he's halfway there. So I used to make stuff and he'd eat it alone, later, if he liked. If not, he would leave it out on the counter and I would wake up in the morning and it would still be there. So anyway - I got tired of that dance, and decided if he can't commit to whether or not he's going to EAT what I make, I am not going to consider him in making my dinner plans. So since I have been working, its been one HECK of a lot easier to just feed the kids a meal from the freezer, and I just snack on something. But now we have a NEW game. If I haven't made something for him, or I have made something for him, but he doesn't LIKE it, then he stops and gets food from take out on the way home. And then when he arrives, he feeds the kids half of his stuff, so they don't eat what I've prepared EITHER. So I quit preparing anything.. And I can see the barometer rising on this, and I am not sure if I am going to try and play nice, or just let'im BLOW. So that'll be fun tonight.
So what else. Weather is getting nicer, which is giving me a better outlook - I knew it would. As of yesterday I went back on weight watchers (augh), and although I only gained 10 of the 40 lbs I had lost, I am going to attempt to lose 20 more (which would be a total loss of 50 lbs.) Wish me luck. I have to get to the gym, but I am at least eating right and walking 2x daily and parking on the 4th floor and taking the stairs... So if I just add gym time and keep food and little-bits of exercise, it should be a no-brainer.
Alright, I have to get back to work. And make some butter-free popcorn. yeay.
