Week 15

I am ready to retire this week and start over!!

To start the week..my cat decided to get out through the slider sometime in the middle of the night.  He is a smart (and strong!) little cookie.  It rained the entire day the next day and he never came back.  So stressful!  He decided to come back in the middle of the night the following night and he was cold,wet, and hungry.  Poor thing!  But thankfully he did come back and all was well.  I was looking forward to fall fun this weekend and my 6 year old decided to get sick for the second weekend in a row.  Normally my kids have an iron-clad Dutch immune system.  It's always when you have things to do....so many other little annoying things happened this week too, and I just felt plain grumpy. It was dreary and cold...which only aggravates me more!

As far as myself this week, things just haven't been right.  I feel like I lost my mojo.  I need to get some sort of spark back.  It might be the change in seasons, or my vitamins running low, but I had no energy,no motivation,no nothing.  I got my blood work drawn for my appointment on the 31st and I have been dragging since.  I might be dehydrated.  I need to get back on track FAST.  I know there are bumps along the road and it is not always roses, but this week kicked my butt good.  At least there is NO way I can feed my negative emotions with food anymore.  Do I want to?  Heck yes.  But I can't--not anymore.  Times like these make me really glad that I cannot go down the emotional eating road.

I am ready and willing to get back up and make this week better.  I am going to start by a walk around town at my mom's and some good ole mom chat.  I just need to reset and move on.

On a positive note, I went shopping just to see if I could find something for a wedding next weekend, and I tried on a long,knit skirt.  That is usually not my style, but I thought what the heck.  It turns out that  I actually liked it!  It was an 18/20 to boot!  The top was an 18/20 but that is really rare for me to b able to wear that.   I ended up buying it, but I am not quite sure I am going to keep it.  I just dont know if it makes me feel like me...kinda hard to explain!  I will sleep on it for a few more days!
