Ok, it's been more than 3 days since my last post and a lot has happened. My mom is home from the hospital. She pulled through, thank God! It was the scariest so far with her. She's recovering at home and my sister and dad are there helping her.
My dad had a pacemaker put in this week. He told us he had been having blackouts, so we insisted he see the doctor. His heart was beating too low and causing less oxygen to the brain and thus the blackouts. He was in the hospital over night and is home now and doing ok.
My younger daughter had her cell phone, iTouch and Northface jacket stolen from school while she was at dance practice. Not a good night at all for her or me. I had just found out the night before that she had been drinking and sneaking out with boys. I had heard that she had went to party at a boys house that is known for having parties with under age kids and booze. The sneaking out with boys was a total shock! I knew something was up when she all of a sudden started hanging with Haley D. I never liked that kid from when she was 4 years old. She's the daughter of one of my brother's girlfriends. She has no parental supervision and pretty much runs wild. She'll end up like her mom, homeless, car-less, dead end job and mooching off her mom. I was told by a fellow dance team mom, so I'm sure my information is correct. Jenna snuck off from a dance team party sleep over to hang out with a boy, Brian N. I wasn't going to bring all this up to Jenna until after her dance competition, but then pictures of her at this party popped up on Facebook. I forwarded the pictures to her as a message on Facebook and she got the messages on her iTouch while she was at practice. She knew she was in trouble. I get to practice and her jacket, iTouch and cell phone had been stolen. She was going to have those taken away from her for a while, but I was not anticipating on re-purchasing them! I've ordered her a new phone and it's taken forever to get here. UPS shipped it to St. Louis 2 days after I ordered it and the numb nuts at the UPS place shipped the phone to Dallas, TX. Dallas shipped it to Little Rock, AR and they shipped it back to St. Louis. It should be delivered by Monday - geesh, morons work everywhere! Went shopping for her jacket and couldn't find one. Looked on-line, found it, but couldn't use the on-line coupon. I hate dealing with this crap! Jenna took her punishment, but now she just stays in her room and I don't like that either. She has come out and watched TV with me, but she has not asked to go anyway with anyone. I'm not grounding her from ever going with friends, just not Haley and her little group. Hopefully she'll come around and this won't be a big problem. I never had to deal with this sort of thing before with either of my girls. I think Jenna wants a boyfriend, but she's going about it the wrong way. Why are boys such jerks?!
My sister claims that a low life friend stole $240 from her. Of course me and everyone else thinks she had him buy her drugs, crack, and she smoked it up. I don't know what to believe anymore when it comes to her and my brother. They both mooch off my parents and both get mad at the other for doing so. It's freaking crazy! My sister has a hearing next week for disability. She's claiming to be too sick/crazy to work. Nice! My brother I'm sure is up to his old tricks. He has to be. He's not working and somehow has money. The less I know the better. I just wish they would live their lives away from my parents.
My niece, my sister's daughter, gave birth to her third child. She is 21 and already has 3 (almost 4) year old twin boys and now baby #3. I'm hoping this baby daddy will stick around and actually help her financially and physically. She too needs to move out from my mom and dad's.
It's been a crazy couple of months. I'm sticking to my new eating plan ok during the week, but not so good on the weekends or days I don't go to work. I haven't started exercising yet. I haven't used any of my credit cards. I actually had money left from my paycheck and didn't go in the negative with my checking account. I may be broke now after paying for Mike's wedding ring repairs, dinner and Jenna a new jacket, but I had the money to buy those things. I need to buy groceries, so I may be dipping into my next paycheck, but I get paid on Monday and today is Saturday. Not perfect, but much better than I have been this past year or so with my finances. I'm going Monday to see about getting our income taxes done. Hoping to get back close to what we did last year. I want to pay a chunk on my credit cards.
Well that's about all I have for tonight. The losing weight thing is so hard and almost seems hopeless, but I have to keep trying. I saw pictures of myself holding my niece's new baby and I look freaking scary. I look fat, old and my hair is gross. I died it really dark - midnight blue and it looks blue at the part. The parts that were totally grey/white look blue. I like it when I look at it in the mirror and I even get compliments from people, but when I see it in pictures, it looks nasty! Maybe people aren't really complimenting me as much as just making a comment on the drastic change. You have to practically starve yourself to lose weight, I hate it!!!
Good night.
