Teenager Tantrums

For the record, teenagers are insane!  Ok maybe not all teenagers, but for sure those that are 16 and premenstral.  I took K to see Nancy and everything was okie dokie until the ride home.  She informs me that she wants to get a job, which wouldn’t be a problem except for:
A) She has a [...]

Money River

By now you know I’m reading the Secret and applying it to various areas of my life.  I’m looking at managing my health and weight, my finances and my career.  I have specific images in mind for each of these areas, and I reinforce them each day with positive thoughts. 
I imagine money flows on a river, freely and in abundance.  [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 7

I went tonight, but I have no idea about my weight. I don’t want to know, whether it was good or bad. I’m focused on the Secret, which means I must believe I’m at my ideal weight right this moment, so weighing in and tracking how much I have left to lose is counterproductive.  But [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 6

I  didn’t go to the meeting last week because Kels & I had a meeting at her school, but I was back this week. The talk this week was all about moving more, just getting started and then getting fit.  I am getting back w/ the program this week, after several months of slacking.  Berta [...]

Labor Day

I spent the weekend just taking it easy.  The girls and I went to Mom’s yesterday for dinner. It was nice to see the family. Mom was looking much better. The last few times I’ve seen her, she’s looked tired and stressed out.  Yesterday she looked well rested and relaxed. 
Today Alan was off, so he, [...]
