Marla - That is a lot of stress! My sister once dated a jerk. We would give our opinion when asked, but didn't force the issue and she eventually broke up with him. Her hubby of 10 years is pretty awesome so that worked out. I agree with you that her ex-friend probably made the situation worse. One can only hope that as the dust settles, your daughter will figure out things on her own.

Did a ride along with the hubby on Saturday which is always interesting. Our church had a potluck yesterday and then I helped my best friends finish moving out of their old house, and clean it, and then move some more things into their new house.

This is the last week of summer, school starts next Wednesday. Our dogs, who are 14, can't even get up without help anymore. So we are going to be taking them in to be put down this week. They have accidents constantly, and can't hardly move. It's a very sad time, as we've had the dogs for 11 years, and our kids have never been without them. But we don't want to do it during their first week of school.
I'm also trying to finish up the last of my chores. Get our bedroom cleaned out and then I think our house will be in really good shape for the coming school year.

Have a great start to your week everyone!

Well, hopefully that will be the start of your daughter drifting apart from her boyfriend! Hopefully your hubby gets better! I'm with you on the eating! I always do soooooo well until the end of the day and it all comes crashing down! I've taken to drinking a small glass of wine or hard apple cider or something like that. I can't chug it, have to sip, so it lasts most of the evening and thus makes it difficult to start grabbing other treats.

I'm off to go get a bike ride in at the Y. I am taking the kids to a movie this morning, and friends are coming over this evening. Will probably spend the late afternoon cleaning up the house with the kids. Then, just need to reorganize our bedroom a bit so it is more functional again and I'll be super set for the start of school!
