Because you did this, you had a successful day...and I would guess that you and your son had a more enjoyable or strainfree visit which is always a win. I think it's more difficult in some ways to have grown up kids, or maybe just different challenges.

Peace and joy.

We did have a good visit. My main aim now is not to put any more stress on him, and keep his visits relaxed. Already had a long phone call this morning, very calm and encouraging. It's not his fault his mother would have organized everything much faster

My hungry self (who was not hungry at lunch time) has now gone to Walmart without buying Oreos. The Craft store without buying a Hershey Bar. The Dollar Store without buying a KitKat and the Convenience Store where I bought gum instead of a Little Debbie snack cake.

Boy I hope I have some calories left at the end of the day for a sweet treat. Hubby made frozen custard again and if I’m really judicious with my calories I might be able to crumble a Girl Scout cookie over it.

Well done on the self control! I like the international feel to this thread - I've had KitKats, but haven't heard of any of the other snacks. Now wondering what they're like and thinking I'd love frozen custard lol.

Littleblackskirt- it’s so nice being close to your new Grandson isn’t it? You did well handling your sons visit and not eating your emotions.

I have a job interview on Friday! It’s not even for a job I applied for. A recruiter for another job I had applied for contacted me and asked if I would be interested. Location and pay sound good and they are looking for someone long term. I’m the girl! I don’t want to be out of work for years and years again!

Yes its lovely being close by, I live very close so I'm very convenient for baby and dog sitting. And now that I work less hours I have the time to help. I had him yesterday evening as parents were going food shopping and it was still very stormy out.

I have everything crossed for your interview on Friday x

I want to scream. I had a huge post replying to so many of you. And the app just glitched and sent me to my home page. Aaaaaggghhhh!!!

I love you💖

Ack. So the server was down at work this morning so I took that time to update and reach out. Unfortunately that didnt work out so trying again! Because that is my theme in life lately; try, try again - if it doesn't work one way try another!

Been busy (arent we all?) lots of family commitments. Keeping up with my aunt after she had surgery - she's doing really well! She has no kids and has always been so good to us nieces and nephews I'm happy to be close by. She takes care and keeps company to her aunt (my great aunt) so I think it makes her happy that someone in the family will be looking out for her too. Step-dads mom passed away early last week - services were Saturday. A friend came to visit for the weekend right after that. I just started my part time job at the pool store - only to find out the very next day that one of the engineers at my other job put in his two weeks notice, and a lot of those responsibilities will fall on me. So my hours got bumped up to 32 for now, 40 when hes gone - but it will be like squeezing 10 lbs of *kitten* into a 5 lb bag regardless with these added responsibilities. Ready to tackle it though. Planning my days with a logistical mindset. Doing as much as I can today to make tomorrow easier (I believe I got this from @cschmitz110515 ) DH had physical for the first time in a loooooong time. Waiting for all the test results back and hoping for all good news. I'm just glad he went and consider all information to be good for setting a baseline. Spring is definitely on its way and we're learning all the quirks of our new homes yard...all the snow melt is difficult and we're learning what we have to do to keep it away from the buildings.

@Snowflake1968 - WOOHOO! Best of luck on your interview. I hope you love the position and they love you! Keep us posted. Yes, I'm working the two jobs for the summer, just getting into the swing of things. Sunday will be my one day off, but I gotta make hay while the sun shines!

@Maryrobinson40 you are a busy lady but you're crushing it! Proud of you and thank you for all your encouragement!

@Jeschepp Keep up the great work! Getting back at it is never easy and I'm proud of you and glad to have you back

@PackerfaninGB Thinking of you please keep us posted. Proud of you for eating your veggies!!! Victory!!!

@bookmeister86 Totally relate to those work issues. Are you still exploring other options?

@HEGoddard0928 I knew you were considering a new job, and I'm so sorry it looks like I missed something - did you leave the bank?

@nlmackey98 WOOOOOHOOO huge victory going all those places without indulging! Hope you enjoyed a nice homemade treat after all that!

@mytime6630 I'm readjusting to night time hunger again myself. I'm always very snacky in the evening - I've found eating a high protein snack in the afternoon, before dinner actually helps tame my evening hunger a bit. Proud of you for counting out one serving size!!!

@cschmitz110515 hope you feel better! I went to the grocery store last night and EVERYONE was coughing, tough time of year!

@littleblackskirt Hope you feel better as well!

@toaljasa I love your small change/big impact list!!!

@Faebert I'm a little late but WAY TO GO on a solid weekend. I struggle there big time myself and know what a huge victory that is!

@aubyshortcake Frustrating about losing the paid lunch!

- Up early to go to the gym Nope
- Try to look nice for passport photo I did what I could.
- Go apply for passport appt at 8:30. the picture wasn't bad.
- Clean up and collect data from yesterday. Done, but I hate disposing of chemicals

- Get oil change
- Go to Walmart
- Get/Do something just for me Finally got my journal
- Middle School Choir & Honors Choir concerts tonight (shoot me) Middle School choirs were actually quite good. Unfortunately because my daughter is in Honors Choir I had to stay for both sections of the show. I got there at 5:00 and left around 8:30.
- Late dinner with the family Well it was late, but everybody ate at separate times. I had cereal. By then I didn't even eat my custard I was looking forward to.
- Try this bed by 11:00 thing again. I've given up on 10:00 or 10:30 I was in bed by 11:00, but got not sleep until about 5:00 this morning.

JFT Wednesday

- Get to work by 8:00

- Leave work on time and walk/hike

Even with the lack of sleep, I'm in a pretty good mood and feel very productive. Hopefully, I can keep this going. This time of year is usually very dark for me because of incidents in the past. Probably why I can't sleep, but I feel stronger this year than in the past. The bad stuff from the past shouldn't out weigh the good that is today. I hope you all have a fabulous day!

@bookmeister86 I'm a "control" person as well and all of the upheaval wrapped around you right now would drive me batty. I hope things settle into a great working environment for you in the end. You could use a little less stress! I love the ideas on dealing with issues you pulled from 7 Habits of Effective People. I may have to pick that up. Reading has never been my thing, but when I find a good book I make time.

JFT - Tuesday March 12 Determined
2L of water - 🙂
Calories in green - 😒 over by 112

Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices. - 🙂

Today I am bringing the kids out, we haven’t seen them since last Wednesday and it seems like forever! The break was a bit nice though. I have decided on burgers and fries for supper. Not the healthiest but what they will eat without a fuss.

I bought some new dress shoes yesterday at Payless, everything is 50% off as they are going out of business. I’m contemplating buying another pair. I need footwear and better dress clothes if I get this job, the last positions I held were more casual.

I hope I find the right words to say in the interview. Last year all of the interviews I had started with “tell me about yourself”. I never quite knew how to answer that. They never really asked direct questions. I felt like it was a popularity contest rather than knowledge based.

I should do some tidying and cleaning today, I also have a project I want to finish.

Have a great day everyone!

Here is a list of interview questions I found on glassdoor.com . You might consider writing down answers...and, if you get stuck, perhaps googling how to answer this question... Also, if you haven't already, google the name of the company and find out about it...how much money they make, what their philosophy is, who the president is, etc. https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/interview-questions-you-should-be-prepared-to-answer-this-month/

We are all excited and hopeful for you!
