It’s Been A While…

…since I blogged. Wow. Didn’t realize it had been THAT long.

I’ve been busy. With work, school starting back, homework and this HEAT…it’s hard to get my brain functioning enough to blog. ;

And since I’m busy now helping a friend with a project, I’ll post here what I posted on my myspace blog…

My oldest DD wants to try out for softball this year at school (she’s in middle school now *sniff*), so I took her to get a physical. We have high cholesterol in both sides of the family (DH and mine — my mother and sister and his mother) and with that, they wanted to check DD’s.

Hers came back high. Talk about feeling like a failure as a mother, but we won’t get into that here and now.

Last Sunday we went grocery shopping (DH went too) for new foods and lemme tell ya…none of us was too terribly excited about it…especially DH. LOL Because I REFUSE to eat what we call *the good stuff* in front of her. She has to watch what she eats now and dammit…all of us will…including him.

For one week now we’ve had low fat foods (at home…they don’t get this at school). She has been a trooper through all of this and I’m so proud of her. She’s never whined or complained ( she made some Ewww faces - LOL) about what is cooked and set in front of her. She’s even cleaned her plate a couple of times. So I told her she could have the weekend to splurge. Back to the eww faces Monday. ;o)

She goes back in November for a re-check on her cholesterol.

With now HAVING to eat healthier (it’s easier to do for her than it was to do for myself) and sweating my ass off all week at work…I’m down 2 pounds this week. LOL

Fingers crossed that what I am doing IS helping her. I pray that it is anyway.
