...if you CHEAT, if you start loading in carbohydrates, suddenly you’re starved.
You hate yourself but you can’t stop eating.
The pounds and bumps and bulges pile back.
Up goes your weight, down goes your energy.

She goes to new school, into middle school for 7th and 8th, then changes again for HS. So there are alot of 'come visit the new school' stuff we are attending, all crammed toward 2nds week in Aug...will keep us hopping.

Your DD will do great! I think the hardest thing for them is changing classes.
Which is really a cool thing! Like I tell my students, if you don't like teacher X, you don't have to spend all day with her/him. And the same is true for the teachers, if we don't like YOU, we don't spend all day with you either!
Middle school here is grades 6-8. I've been in places where 7-8 grade is called jr. high school. Some places even have grades 7-9 as jr. high. Weird right?

Hear ya on the hot and spicy. Same here, gives such a great flavor change. Love the spice!!

I don't like it so spicy hot that you can't taste the flavor of anything else...but the right amount and it compliments the dish perfectly!

have to hit the road today and errands, deliver some stuff etc. Kiddo has ear ache...hmmm, had some ear antibiotics from a couple years ago and used that and HOPING it works on her. Waiting for her to get up and see if it is trip to urgent care for new meds for this ear or if we got away ok and she is on the mend? will see soon
|
Hope that your DD's ear ache goes away... could it be water in the ear due to all that pool time???
And you posted this today:
Quote:
kiddo's ear is on the mend and seems fine. Hooray, that I think is over now! Something we don't have to deal with anymore.
|
That's great that she's fine!

WTG, hm6!
Keep eating 100% OP and that demonic contraption really DOES show us the fruits of our labor!
You're welcome about the name for that thing!

Thanks Jo! Also I don't think its extreme not to eat out! Your right, there is no telling what they put in food!!! At least when I cook I know what I'm eating.

Exactly! Imma glad you feel the same way I do!

School starts Aug 1st first here so Emilee's summer is a short one :/
|
So what grade is Emilee going into?
If she starts that early, that means she'll be done by mid-May 2018 right??
So how many kiddos do you have?
I'll share first: I have/had three kids. My eldest would have been 37 this Feb, he passed away at 24 from cancer. I have two DDs, one will be 35 in Dec and the other will be 33 in Dec... I have a 17 yo grandson from my son. They all live in Phoenix and I have my twin brother, an older brother and my dad who live in Florida... I live in NM and will move to Phoenix when I retire from teaching in the next couple years or so... at least that's the PLAN!

Reposty from my own journal from your post this morning:
Quote:
I am so sorry that you have to take care of all of this yourself. No one is really prepared when someone we love passes...
He knows that you loved him and you're right, he is now safe with your parents, in a better place with no more pain or disappointments...
My heartfelt condolences to you, dear friend, and to your family during this difficult time!

A wise friend once told me that happiness is only achieved by acceptance of things that happen and moving forward!

Wow that's a wonderful quote...Imma stealing it and using it as one of those Carb-Free Food for Thought thingy!

Jo....18 days and back to school! Wow did that fly be quick. I do luv the excitement of the grandkiddies getting back to school supplies. They get so excited yesterday oldest GD was already picking out her back to school clothes and shoes. Wow she growing up quick!

That is so cool that your oldest GS is excited about going to school! The kiddos grow UP too fast!
Is Makayla the only one not in school now?
Here in NM, we do a Back to School Gross Receipts Tax Holiday every year which means sales tax exempt w/e for school related supplies and clothing. This year it will be Aug 4-6. Of course, those of us that don't have kiddos, avoid the stores like the plague those days!
