Spots, Post Holes and the End of Relationships ...

Yes C2 still has spots! They are not clearing up as fast as they came unfortunately ... He isn't finding them nearly as itchy any more which is good though and he does generally seem cheerful. He even mentioned to today that they are kinda funky!

So BF is out of town today unexpectably for work. Bummer. He is in some remote random place boaring foundation pole holes! Too exciting! C1 has ATC (Air Training Corps) tonight and BF usually takes him. I had to take him in at 7 (drove home from work and turned straight back around again to take C1 in) which was fine. Rung BF to see if he would be in town at 9 to pick him back up again! Could I get a straight answer! I don't bloody think so! If Margaret thinks her DH has problems asking for directions mine has problems with answering simple yes/no questions! Bloody frustrating! So all evening I have not been sure what to do .. cook tea? No - won't have enough time to cook if I have to get C1, should I put C2 to bed? Not sure - if I have to pick C1 up I will have to wake up C2. Finally at 8 I rung BF to see how he was going! He still couldn't give me a straight answer until I pointed out that he is at least an hours drive from town and that C1 needs picked up in one hour! 'Oh yeah? Is that the time? Perhaps you had better drive back into town and pick him up'! Fire Truck (for sensitive ears!).


My Aunty is at home looking after C1 and C2 for the holidays. She received a phone call from C1's social worker today asking if BF and I have split up. WTF? Apparently C1's mother is still trying to get custody of C1 back so is now saying that BF and I are no longer together and that BF isn't capable of raising C1 by himself. I rung the social worker this morning and we had a nice long chat which is good. I assured her that BF and I were still very much a couple this morning when I dropped him off to work but did suggest he could be like some males who say they are going away to get milk and come back 30 years later! You never know. We had a talk about the family group conference coming up as well as a few other issues. I always feel so much better after talking to her. She has complete confidence in our ability to raise C1 (way more than we do!) and thinks we are doing a great job.

Mum is still working through my pile of fat clothes doing alterations so they fit me. Every time she finishes a pair I look at them and think 'that is so small I ain't gonna fit my fat arse in those' but they actually fit everytime. It is fantastic. My clothes feel so tight on me though after wearing trousers they I have to pull up after taking a few steps!

Any ... today's results .....

1) track DONE
2) stay under 20 pts DONE
3) weights NOT DONE
4) 1/2 hour walk DONE - 45 minutes today
5) water DONE
6) 3 servings NOT DONE
7) healthy snacks DONE
8) plan daily food DONE
9) no diet coke DONE

10) update journal DONE

8/10 - always the same two letting me down - fruit and vegies and weights. I am going to have to work on these ones!

So that is me for the day .... pretty boring huh!

Am off to wait for my tea to cook! I am starving!

Oh, what can I say, but MEN! Fire truck sums it up nicely! I have problems getting a straight answer out of mine, too - or getting him to tell me something in 25 words or less, normally it's like picking through a 2000 word essay for one salient point. Very frustrating!

I work for all males!! Electricians to be precise. I have the same trouble getting simple answers from them also. I call to ask how long they think they could be on a job because the next customer is calling asking when someone will be there and all I get is "I dunno!!". Frustrating!!

I hope all turns out with the kids. I'm sure you and BF are doing a great job. XX

Great to hear that you are fitting into smaller clothes! It's such a cool feeling to think that you can't fit into something smaller and then you do :-)

I hope it all works out with your family situation too!
