    Thanks jess - Most of the time when i ask i get "leave me a lone" or "i don't know", a lot of her burst outs are because she is mad i think...the counselor has been trying to work with her on how she acts on her feelings.... She just doesn't want to do certain things and will do whatever else it takes so she doesn't have to do this..now she knows if she does something she will get in trouble and so she has being mean to others when they say they will tell on her. Some days i think maybe i should of just put her on the drugs


    She sounds sooo much like my niece! I think my sister finally decided to per her in karate to help her deal with her anger issues. Hope things start to go better!

    Cris-If mine don't start to downsize and WHEN I get to my goal weight I might have to consider doing the reduction! These puppies are heavy! Can't wait to see the dresses!

    Jess - THat is actaully what the school has recommended and some reading i have done...maybe that is the answer i don't know.

    Okay i only got this 1/2 converstaion about the boobs...i will go back and read...but ......

    I have the strangest boobs on earth i think :smile: SO bit girls are supposed to have big boobs right ??? WRONG !!!

    i am big around but not out...I wear a 42b - 44b ( i had to get a bra extention because they don't make a whole lot that are small cup and big around...I try to move up cup size and what do i get air..yes air...like a little girl trying on moms bra's...I just don't have anything to feel them out. i don't know if lost all my weight wear i would be but i am not thinking over a "B" cup of anything.

    on another note...I got a ring on...it wasn't my wedding rignt, i did try that on thought, i could get it on but still a little tight...i have another one (it is ust 5 diamonds straight across) i got for my 30'th bday. I have used it for a wedding ring before when mine had starting getting tight...well i could put it on and take it off without cutting any circulation off.!!! Almost there on my wedding right though...almost!!

    Yay progress!! I went from a size 46...yes 46 band and am now a 38. So you will shrink in band size for sure. You might look into the karate. They told my sister it would help her learn to control her anger. GOod luck!

    Litdeb: You are not a bad mother. Parenting is NOt easy, at all, and it shows you care because you are trying to deal with the situation. I agreee with Momma's and Jess words of wisdom. I think you need to sit her down and talk to here, not in a negative way, but in a calm manner. Let her explain her situation ( you don't judge yet) and after she tells you what happen..find an approprate salution..believe me you are anot going to solve the problem by taking everything away from her. she will be home for 2 days, right, then no TV, instead have her do chores around the house. Kids hate chores, talk to her and explain to her why you are doing these things so the next time she thinks twice before she does it again.

    I read a great book and i am reading it again because a lot of the ideas mentioned in this book worked for my children ( when they were 4 -10 years old) and now i am relearning because of my younger son.

    Hang in there...I can't say it will get better..I would be liying if i did. Everyday is a situation in my household. and everyday is a learning experience...learning new tricks.

    Funny that we are having a bra size discussion today. :smile: I was just thinking last week that I need some new bras. I have no doubt I am wearing the wrong size. I currently am wearing 42C but I am on the innermost set of hooks and it's not really very tight. I am also not filling out the actual cup as much anymore. I was thinking that I need to get a tape measure and wondering if I dropped to 40C if it would fill out the cups better, since I know they are proportional to the band size.

    I was always very skinny growing up and wore like a 34A in high school. I didn't start having to get B or C until I started gaining weight in college. I do hope my boobs shrink again when I lose weight... maybe not down to 34A again, though. :smile:

    To be honest, I really like wearing sports bras better than normal ones, I think because I grew up playing so many sports and wearing them all the time that they just feel more normal to me! I really need some more sports bras too though, I have some cotton Champion ones and man are they uncomfortable when they get sweaty. I really want some moisture wicking ones. Anyone have any favorite brands?

    Sorry deb, I forgot to give the name of the book..."How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk ." It's a really good book. Google it and see what you find. It might be in librarys too.

    Good Luck!

    here is the link..I found the book on amazon.

    I only have one. I have to buy them online. I don't know the brand but it's something about shock abosorbing...I'm not sure. All I know is those bad boys stay put when I run for the most part! I bought it on Amazon! :laugh:

    Pos - Thanks for the book suggestion i may check it out.

    So i guess i should of listened to the principal instead of being soo mad...I am still mad..but what happend was she had a laptop (she isn't supposed to have them) and she wanted to put it up and the girl said she wasn't supposed to and serena said she was going to hit the little girl with the laptop if she told , then blocked the door and wouldn't let her out and then grabbed her shirt , in the process pinching her. So she didn't actually hit her. THe thing is she was really great today before this happened. (it happend right before school was out).

    I did sit her down and talked to her and let her tell me her story, she did tell me she was sorry, and she has to write letters to this little girl and her parents. I told her she will write a letter to the teacher and principal too...(she hates writing so figure that is good thing for her to do) I am also going to make her write like 20 times "i will not be mean to others", i had to do that when iw as little :smile:

    colgirl - Your back hard looks beautiful!! You have been working really hard on it and it shows!

    lildeb - Sorry about Serena acting out. I don't have any kids yet but I definitely know that you are NOT a bad mom! If you didn't care that she got into trouble then that would be a problem but you do care. I agree with Momma and Jess on disciplining her, especially the next two days that she is home. Hope you figure something out that makes her stop being like that.

    Well, I did some boxing tonight and had fun doing it!! I am on Day 3 of working out and seem to enjoy it! LOL! :laugh: Too bad my streak will come to an end tomorrow. After I get off work tomorrow I have errands to run and then dinner with my family. My stepbrother and his family are moving to Arkansas. I will try and be good through out the day so it won't be too bad at dinner but since i am so under today I think it will help tomorrow.

    Thanks everyone for your help with my daughter i feel much better now...she knows that the next 2 days aren't all fun and games.

    I was going to do a big workout on friday morning and night but guesst hat was too much ..but i can only take her for 2 hrs...guess i will just do the one at night with dh and both girls.

    So i am trying to expand to some other classes at the gym and foudn this one :
    "utilizes barbells and hand weights to strengthen and sculpt all muscle groups. " it is called 24 lift, i think it sound interesting but the only time i could really go is 8:30 on sat morning. Which hubby wants to go to , but we said we really need abby (the baby ) for a nap before soccer...and also the water aerobics class is at 10 so that is probablyb too much to do (and over day care limit) .

    So if i got we should be able to get home and her in bed by 9:45 (she gets up at the crack of dawn and usally gets super tired but that would be like almost 2 hrs before soccer) but then i couldn't do water on sat...but i could still do it wednesday nights...

    anyone take a class kinda like that descriptino..

    Cris - is taht like your body scult one you are taking (or something like that).

    okay i am just rambling now...but i am pretty hyped i got on the scale it was right over 275 at night !!! I might meet my memorial day goal after all.

    Okay....so my tactics did not work so well. I got owned at pool....no I lie, I won once, by default...he hit the 8 ball in. OOPS! Somehow I always managed to be behind him. :explode: Oh well. We played 3 games of pool and sat and talked for awhile.I knew it wasn't going to be a late night. We both have to get up early. All in all I would say it went well!! Gonna try and hang out again next week. Doesn't work out so well when he works nights and I work days! We'll see. Anywho. I'm off to bed now! Night ladies!

    lildebbie-Glad to hear things are okay with your daughter!

    Blue, thanks for the challenge. My kids start summer vacation tomorrow. I do have 4 of them you know let me see what is 5 minutes of quiet? That one will need to be explained to me. I vaguely remember something like that happening about 17 years ago, but I am not quite sure!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Enlighten me on how to do it?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Love the challenge though:flowerforyou:

    Momma, when my mom wanted peace from us kids she sat on the toilet! :laugh: :laugh: We always wondered why she took so long in there! :tongue:

    I am sorry that you are dealing with this, but lildeb - please know that you are a GREAT mother. A bad mother would never love her child enough to send her to counseling. A bad mother would never sit down and talk with her daughter about why she did it. A bad mother would never continually assess her children and herself and learn from her life lessons.

    One teeny weeny suggestion, speaking as a teacher, if you MUST do the repetitive writing punishment - instead of the writing punishment being a negative sentence, how about making it a positive one, like "I know how to be nice to people." Just a suggestion - when kids do repetitive writings, it's best to give them affirmations to write. Or better yet, instead of repetitive writing, have her write a book entitled "I Know How to Be Nice to People." Each page she could draw a picture of her being nice to someone - the different ways she can be nice to others, and write a sentence describing the picture. This way she takes ownership of her "niceness,"(which is positive), and when she has a relapse, you can always bring the book back out and read it together, sparking a discussion that would be positive and valuable. Leave blank pages at the end so that when she does have a relapse she can draw or write how she is feeling and how she could have made the situation better. Give her tons of praise when she finishes the book. Have her share it with your family. Let her leave a page for "autographs" for anyone who reads it. This way you can write her something positive and she can always know you are supporting her no matter what.

    Sorry for the ramble - I am in teacher mode! :tongue:

    COGirl - your garden is so beautiful! Wow! I am impressed! It looks like a page from Better Homes & Gardens! Congrats - your hard work paid off! :flowerforyou:
    jessyka - thinking positive thoughts for you. :heart:


    So today I was moving some things into my new classroom around 3:30pm. I went to get brown butcher paper so I could label my stuff so that the custodians wouldn't move it back into my old room. I was feeling really good - my knee was great, my room was fantastic, and them...WHAMMO! I trip on the rolled up pre-K carpet that was left near the door, go flying in the air, land on my left elbow and left knee (good knee, BTW), go sliding about a foot, then stop. I could not believe I fell. I just laid there for about fifteen minutes, because I thought I was going to throw up. And I knew that pretty soon my friends would come to get me and then they could help me up. I didn't feel like I had broken anything, but my knee and elbow were on fire. A Title One teacher came by and freaked out and got a chair so that I could get up. I was not thinking at ALL about my wounds. You know what I was thinking? Oh my God I got up in like fifteen seconds using my bad right knee! LOL That is all I could focus on! I made the reading teacher promise that she had to tell anyone that asked what happened that I got up BY MYSELF in FIFTEEN SECONDS!!! WITH ONLY MY BAD KNEE!!!!!!!

    Needless to say, there were my five, er..fifteen moments of zen. On the floor of my new classroom, 3:30-3:45pm. :laugh:


    check in:
    cals: Wow. Scattered and mysterious. Was on my ADD meds today and was not hungry.
    water: 90
    exercise: Does flying in the air count? My left knee is swollen, so I skipped the exercise today.
    proud: DID I MENTION I GOT UP FROM THE FLOOR, BY MYSELF, WITH ONLY ONE KNEE, WHICH WAS MY BAD KNEE?????? The last time I fell at school (3 yrs. ago - a student accidentally moved the chair from behind me - she was trying to give me more room to videotape the dance and didn't know I was going to sit down to do it :tongue: ), it took two men and a truck, a baby, and a pizza place to get me up!

    No Joke, I will just sit on the toilet after I pee (I know tmi) and just sit there forever sometimes. My husband will come looking for me and I am like " I was just peeing" I totally understand this.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: The other one I love to do is shower until my hot water runs out and I have to get out. :tongue:

    LilDebbie-That's great news!!

    Bluenote-Hope your knee is feeling better today! Awesome job getting up on your bad knee!

    The scale was kind to me this morning as well. So far I'm down a 1.4 pounds in "official" weight loss. Not weight I gained...I'm so excited!! :bigsmile:

    Well... got rained out.. we are under yet ANOTHER tornado warning right now (even got to see a funnel cloud about 10 mins ago. So, here is a pic of the pond, waterfall and planting bed that I have been working on for the last month as of right now. Getting so close to being done.

    0526101405.jpg

    I will post another pic tomorrow from a different angle. Darn thunderstorms...

    Morning Ladies!!

    blue - That is great that you got up using your bad knee!!! Sorry you feel but at least you are looking on the right side of things! :bigsmile: Hope the swelling in your left knee gets better soon.

    lildeb - That is AWESOME!! This morning when I got on the scale the scale was up 1 pound. :grumble: I apparently did better food wise and exercised yesterday and gained the 1 pound that I lost back. :grumble: :grumble: Hopefully I can lose the pound today by drinking ALOT of water!

    Check in 5/26
    Calories; Under by 250 or so!!! ( Ididn't eat any of my exercise calories for the first time!!!)
    Sodium: Over but only by 100
    Water: 120 oz or so
    Exercise 20 mins boxing and 10 mins walking
    Zen: 9-9:05

    After seeing the scale this morning and it being up I am going to try and see if I can fit in some exercise tonight after work and before dinner. I am so close to my Memorial Day goal and I really really want to meet my first goal on time! Even if I don't meet it I will soon because I am only 2 lbs away.

    Well, off to do some work I go.

    Coloradogirl: YOu yard look amazing. Are you some kind of landscape designer? I plan on doing the front yard...for the first time since we move into our house ( 5 years ago). We ( husband and I ) always add mulch and plants, but this year we plan on doing the sidewalk and add flagstone walls around the plant area. Can you come and do it..or help two amateur? LOL. I think you have amazing talent. I can't wait to see the other pics.

    Cris: can't wait to see what you bought from Kohls....I LOVE THAT STORE. There is always some kind of sale..and the clearence section is fantastic!

    Jess: I need to try that sandwich...sounds delish! and your piggies must look amazing too. Have fun @ the party tonight

    Bluenote: Glad you are OK. I hope your left knee get better:flowerforyou: ...good for you getting up on the bad knee:heart:

    Momma: I do the same thing, hide in the bathroom, ususally i take a magazine/book and read...that is my quite time. My kids will come knock and ask what am i doing... I usually say " what does a person do in the bathroom"...they walk away every time..sometimes i hear " are yo going to be long?" I will let you know when I finish. I love my quite time..usully lasts 10 - 15 minutes.
    Wow, school is ending early for your children. My childrens' last day of school is June 21. And my daughter graduates Middle school June 18.

    Good Luck on your garden :-)

    Litdeb: I love the suggestion Bluenote gave.

    Also, Maybe you should introduce her to journaling her feelings or what she is feeling at that moment before she acts them out. I know my daughter had a journal that she still has...and recently started reading her stuff and the things she use to write. when she was little ( 5/6 years old) At the end of the day she would take it out and write what happened that day. she would write things in that that she would forget to mention...maybe because i would say something to her if she would tell me (judging her). But it was much easier for her to write it down and have me read it. don't know why. Opens thedoors to communication. Best of luck girl!

    before i forget....CONGRATS on seeing a loss on the scale. Hopefully it sticks by friday's weigh in.

    Raiderape: don't worry you will meet your Momorial day goal. The pound you gain is most likely water weight from sodium. drink plenty of water and before you know it it iwll be all gone.

    Awestfall: sounds frustrating indeed. Can you call your hubby and ask what went wrong? It's probaby some kind of mistake. Good luck girl:heart:

    check in 5/26

    calories: over and over my exercise calories....i should have Never eaten 2 soft pretzels...each pretzel was 400 calories. Plus, i ate a couple handfuls of cheetos.. I though i did good but when i logged it on I was OVER big time. lesson learned...log than eat!
    Exercise: Week 4 day 2 (c25k) 26 minutes, 25 minutes 4.0 walking treadmill, gardening 30 minutes, and housecleaning 45 minutes = 987 calories
    water: 100+

    Proud: that I logged my bad food mentioned above...even though it was bad. Back on track...I will lose the pound i gain and another...

    600 calories burned: yup! burned 987!
    ZEN challenge: done! 10:30 - 10:35 pm.
    Sodium: way way over, 3000..stinking pretzels and cheetos
    Fiber: 28

    check back in a few!

    phew..I didnt have a million posts this morning.

    Lildeb- I also love blue's book idea, sounds like a great option! I'll be using that method WHEN the time comes. It comes for us all...You are def flying through the 270s!

    Blue- You never stop amazing me! Congrats on getting up on you BAD knee!!!

    Toilet- yup, I sit there for like 30 mins. I dont use the downstairs one anymore because my son just bangs on it and DF keeps asking me what Im doing. The upstairs one is much more quiet..I keep a cosmo (the magazine not the drink :wink: :laugh: ) in there and play bejeweled on my phone..oh and update my mfp log, ha!

    awestfall- I hear ya with the bills, Bobbys has been laid off for 2 weeks now. Although I do make good money it is not nearly enough to pay everything on my own. Looks like we will be dipping into vacation/wedding/christmas fund to support ourselves. :sad: Like all things this too will pass!

    pos_me- I love love love Kohls. I never really went there until a few months ago when I got a $100 gift card. I bought all my son's summer stuff there with just that $100! I went in there for my dress yesterday and was in and out inf 15 mins!! :heart: it!you are rocking the c25k and the excercise...987?! so impressive! keep it up girl!

    checking in for yesterday-
    calories: 950 (uhm going out tonight)
    water- yes
    sodium- 1735
    excercise- not a darn thing :sad:
    cals burned- :sad: :sad: :sad:
    proud- I wanted to over eat after my step son's baseball game because I was bored and I just chugged lots of water and went to bed instead. Im proud that Bobby and I had a talk about the issues (mostly from him being laid off) instead of letting it simmer then having a big pow wow later, and Im PROUD that I bought two dresses cause I looked good in both!! Hooray!:drinker:

    awestfall-I'm so sorry to hear about your hubbys check being smaller then expected. That's very frustrating! Hope you are able to find a way to make ends meet. :flowerforyou:

    POS Me-I LOVE Kohl's too! I can't stay away from that darn store. They keep sending me coupons and ugh...since I have a Kohl's card I always get discounts. And now I can fit into some of the clothes in the "womens" department and not the "plus" size so they are some really cute stuff!! I'm not use to being able to find cute clothes for so cheap! I love it. I shop too much! :blushing:


    So...I told you guys the other day the guy I use to date came back saying how he was so sorry and missed me and that whole song and dance. I wasn't going to lie to him so I told him I had a date last night with someone else and that we had been talking and everything. The guy just keeps asking questions making himself jealous. Is it awful that I don't feel bad? :laugh: He emailed me first thing this morning "So how was your date" kept wanting to come over before I left saying how he was so jealous someone was taking me out that wasn't him. I've never been in this position before! He had his chance. Sorry charlie! :tongue: I sound evil...:drinker:

    I forgot to check in for yesterday

    Calories:1214...a lil over
    Water: 10 cups not so good
    Exercise: Does being owned at pool count?!
    Calories Burned: I had to defend myself. I had to burn of burned something! :laugh:
    Zen: I forgot. 10 minutes tonight for catchup!
    Proud: I almost backed out of my date. Darn nerves! But I didn't. I went and I had fun! :bigsmile: AND my roommate made a comment last night how I was "getting all skinny on her". Made my day. She sees me daily so she doesn't notice the changes like others who don't see me as often do.

    This is no fair!!!!! I live on the west coast and you all are talking a couple of hours before the sun is even rising around here:laugh:


    Ann, that is difficult!!!!! I hope everything works out. I am sure that it will:flowerforyou:

    Jess, I would maybe let mr. jealous know that you are done, thanks for asking. I don't see anything heartless about that. Personally, when I was younger and dating I had no problem moving on until I met my husband. So he just is NOT the right one for ya!

    Pos_, yeah we get out early we also start school like Aug. 10 or 11th so I think that is why we get out so early. Besides the fact when California is acting right it is starting to get too HOT for school. I live in the central valley and we get a lot of days over 100* So I think part of the reason is the cost to keep the school at a bare-able temp. That does not seem to be the case now. Considering that we are struggling to get into the 70's every day this week and the fact that it has been raining. Yeah, I am complaining in this process:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Raiderape- You can do it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lildeb, WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO Great JOb!!!!! I know you made that memorial day goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
