Starting over again
Well, let me first say, I did not even make it 1 day of binge free eating. I gained 2 lbs. I have been depressed and miserable with the icy, rainy, snowy, cold, dreary weather and total lack of sunshine for the last few weeks. I have been SO down in the dumps. David hasn't been bad. He did have off school a few days. Neither has Paul. Although they are both climbing the walls as well. Even the dog is antsy. We had several days this past week of icy/sleet rain/snow mix which at night, freezes over. We had a lot of power outages around here and the one day lost power here for 3 hrs. Today, it is sunny and about 40 degrees. I took the dog out. It felt so wonderful to feel the sun on my face! I haven't driven all week for the most part due to black ice at night and during the day I am working.
Work wasn't too bad this week and I got a lot done. that was the saving grace of being cooped up. Got David's report card. He is failing school. Mainly because he is not doing his work or if he does it, does not hand it in. Just laziness! Paul has given up. I am even trying to back off. You know what? If David fails, it is his own fault. All his friends will go to high school next year and he won't. I am so tired of fighting, begging, threatening, bribing. Nothing works. If David does not want to do it, he won't. Now, we find out after 8 weeks of dealing with the one counselor from the state, we are getting a new one! I just can't win.
I am sorry I kind of lost touch with everyone the last couple of weeks. Between the depression/wallowing and trying to focus on work I just didn't make the time to come here. I will try to do better this week.
We are having a few friends over for the Super Bowl. should be fun. Have some cleaning and cooking to do. No Zumba today. Will try to get back to going to the Y this week. Went to my brother's house last Sunday for my nephew's 5th birthday party. (This was Rob's house, the brother I have not been speaking with.) I had such a nice time!
Well, gotta run. So far today I had coffee and oatmeal with milk. Staying clear of the chocolate donuts today! Going to clean and also try to get 1 hr of Wii Walk It Out later to get in my 10k steps.
