I HATE shopping!

Wednesday, December 13, 2006

Spent 2 1/2 loverly hours in WalMart today. I wish I wasn't such an indecisive soul. I wander around and see lots of things I think the kids would like but have such a hard time settling on one item. Then I have to decide if I want to keep picking up said item, or if I want to pay that much for it......I wish I could just twitch my nose and have all the shopping done.
Thank goodness it's mostly done now.

Stacy, what are the breakdowns on points now. Are they going in one point increments now? I wonder now many I should eat. I'm proud of you for going, and I hope you continue, I know the meetings really help me. Keep me accountable for my eating. I wish I could justify the expense right now, but I'm not committed enough at this point cause I really can't focus on it like I need to to be paying $$ for it. I am trying because all of you are doing it too, but my life is too busy to expend that much energy on it.
I did pretty good today. Since I was out shopping and didn't eat before leaving I needed to get something to eat. I wanted to go to Wendy's really bad, but opted for a Turkey Sandwich at Subway. It was a better choice and allowed me to enjoy my pesto pasta for supper. The only thing I've snacked on today is my homemade granola and it's full of fiber...so not too bad.

On the nail situation, I have no advice except that at some point you will realize that to your family you are irreplaceable and need to BE with them. You are not irreplaceable to your clients. They will probably be upset and try to get you to change your mind, but if you stick to your guns, in the end they will either fit into your schedule or go elsewhere. I know it's hard, I'm not a fan of confrontations, and I really stressed out when I had to tell my two ladies I was quitting after Soren was born. You know what, they understood and they still go to that lady in Spanish Fork that you referred them to. But until you decide that your time, as a wife and mother, is worth more than the $$ for the nails, you will still take them on their schedule and not on yours. Good luck! Do you still hear Shannon's voice in your head, pushing you to do whatever it takes??? It took me a while to get her to leave...LOL!

Got my cards put together today and half my letter typed. Hopefully tomorrow will include a trip to the Post Office and get that project out of my life. Then it's on to gift wrapping and party prep for Tuesday.....one thing after another. Ugh!

**Well, it's several hours later now. We really need another computer in this house that is not in my bedroom. Everyone has had homework to do and Jordan still has a paper to write and he's not even home yet. I think that's probably good, cause I'd want to kick his fanny about now.

Well, brain is tired...must get some sleep. Talk to you all tomorrow. Stay strong!
