All is Quiet

It's early on a Wednesday and the boys are still sleeping. It is rare that I am up before them. I started a 10-day cleanse on Friday and feel great. Had always wanted to try one, but knew I could never do only liquids for that long. This program allows you to eat 3 times a day with snacks. Just lots of fruits, veggies, and nuts. Haven't been really hungry and have lost almost 6 pounds. Day 3 was ugly and struggled, but I am much better now! Not hungry, lots of energy. I went walking last night with a friend and it was so fun. Hope to get that in the exercise more often now!

School in 15 days! I think I have all of the supplies we need now. I am not one to go out and buy the kids all new wardrobes just because it is back-to-school time. They have plenty of clothes. I bought them each two new shirts...great sale as always at Aeropastle. JC will need new pants....not one pair fit him from last year. But, I will wait until the weather starts to change. He is growing too fast to buy them now! I am going to need to go clothes shopping since I am working FT now at the school. My wardrobe needs some help! Hoping to hold off awhile until I drop some more weight!

Off to tackle some freelance. I hope to be able to cut back on that a bit now that I am working FT....now enough time in the day!

People are Just Nuts!

So, I am on the board of directors of our Local Little League and run one of the divisions. This dad at lacrosse camp was standing next to me at lacrosse camp yesterday complaining how the "new minor league commissioner" does not know what she is doing and never sends any information to parents. I almost bit my tongue, but instead introduced myself and shared that I did indeed send out several emails regarding the upcoming season and maybe he should check his junk mail file. He wanted to crawl into a hole! Had another parent go nuts because her husband was not chosen as a manager and they pulled their kid from the league since the dad is not in charge of a team. He was offered to be a coach...but obviously that's not good enough. The nerve of these people. My position is totally voluntary and we don't even get a break on our registration fees....I pay the same as everyone else. I put in tons of hours, especially before the season begins and these people sit back and bitch! So frustrating!

My Tough Guy

JC never complains when he is sick or hurt. So, when he mentioned that his ear kind of hurt when he touched it, I took notice. When he mentioned it two days in a row, I figured it was serious. I took him to Urgent Care today and he has an inner and outer ear infection. The doc let me look and it was flaming red. The doc said an infection like this would make "a preacher cuss" and he would himself use vocabulary not in the dictionary! Now if only this tough guy routine would also be in place when his brother taps him....then we get the "Ouch, that hurt!" Sigh!
