    Good morning all!!!!

    We had a fabulous weekend...b-day part, night out w/ just the DH, and yesterday took the kiddos sledding. Tonight, we are heading out w/ friends to dinner ( a Japanese/Sushi place). I need to get the house picked up prior to my grandparents getting here to watch the kiddos for us.

    Sara...milkshakes at 2am?! Zeke is something else:tongue:

    You've been a busy woman, Kelly! Goodness sakes! Have fun with house picking up. BLAH. Which Sushi place are you going to?

    Oh, yes. Milkshakes at 2am. WTH? At least I heard him & stopped him before he got TOO into it. *eye roll*

    We are heading to Nagoya (in Port Clinton). Monday night is half off sushi night...I'll stick to the steamed rice, veggies, and probably shrimp though.

    Good morning all, I am hoping to have a good week. I did awful yesterday and I want to move forward and not eat the fudge that I made. I just can't get over the hump of eating 100% healthy for more that 3 days, I am hoping that this is the week that I can do it. I need to do this, I just don't understand why its so flipping hard. Its food, why does it have this control over me. Well, time for my 2 glasses of water. :drinker:

    hi. can i just jump in?

    i do actually work nights but i am off for a bit. I work nights to be at home with my 4 boys (13,10,4 and 19 months) 2 of my four kids are on the autism spectrum (good times I tell you) my four year old being the most involved.I also have a 17 year old girl that adopted us a few years back and she is with us 85% of the time these days. she's great.

    those of you talking about sleeping issues. we find melatonin is great to get them asleep but doesnt keep them asleep. we give him theanine to keep him sleeping and sleepy time tea. like a charm

    Hi momma-- sorry to hear about the autism issues-- can't be fun. Nice to see you here-- must look into the sleepy time remedies-- my younger two are about to kill me. :smile:

    Come on Sassy-- you can do this-- like you said, it's only food. But, Fudge? Yowsa-- that's a toughie. :grumble: You're stronger than you realize, and you'll beat this.

    yup my hubby is on the black team for the Biggest loser challenge. he's doing so well, i'm really proud of him. those men...the weight seems to just melt right off him while i struggle for every single pound. oh well, as long as the numbers go down and not up i'm happy. it's nice to have other moms to talk to...i've been on mfp on and off for almost a year, but have never been a big poster. nice to meet everyone

    My (almost) 3 yr old is still in her crib. We have been thinking about getting her a bed for her b-day, but she bucks the system when it comes to naps and bedtime. She doesn't want to miss a thing.

    it's not so bad...today. ask me again later and I may answer very differently Forte's Calm helps some kids too. you can find that everywhere.

    anyone know if cutting a four year olds hair counts as excersise? it should.

    You know, that was a good idea, and I made a call to the nursing home here and I am going to bring it to them when I drop my little one off at pre-school. Thanks for the idea, I have never done anything like that. :flowerforyou:
