Help Your Kid Handle Bullies At School!

One of the worst troubles that kids of the modern age go through is undoubtedly bullying. The nature of the heinous trouble is such that it makes the kid feel that he or she cannot even report it to the school authorities or even to the parents. It results in a direct effect on the health of the kid, as well as on the education as the kid will deliberately start avoiding school. Kids find it very…

My weekends seem so busy lately... probably just the end of summer wrap ups, and the beginning of fall starts...

Yesterday was a nice family day and much needed... gave me time to think about where the hell I'm going and what the hell I'm doing. Which still don't know completely about where I'm going.... or what I'm doing... ha.

Last week I spent a lot of time working on our budget for September and working towards paying off our loans. For every month that I meet my budget goals especially loan payments (amounts over min balance) I get a sticker on that month on my chart. Pathetic but Ill do anything for stickers.

Talking with someone today who gave some good advice about my school situation I am probably just going to take this semester off. Kiddo isn't having the easiest time transitioning to kindergarten, and my middle son starts preschool in just a few weeks... I am still recovering from surgery and I need to be better mentally prepared because not having exercise as a way to deal with my stress its been hard. Today I spent a lot of time working on doing some couponing and thinking about my future blog life. I need to figure out my diet... I felt SO much better when I was off the sugar and wheats...and I make these stupid excuses as why they need to be in our diets since I've been eating them...its like a freaking addict making an excuse to get high. my kids are all growing and eating ALL the time. I am running out of things to give them for snack... guess that means its time for grocery store. I will admit couponing is mostly for things for the kids...which means I am buying processed foods for cheaper so that they have snacks because I don't know what else to give them for snacks. They eat fruit 4x a day.Yogurts. Granola bars. Sugar sugar sugar...am I setting my kids up to be addicted to sugar like me... looks like it. If anyone has healthy snack ideas please send me them.

I feel defeated...how am I suppose to be an inspirational blog who struggles to make right food decisions every day of my life. I have been tracking my food and seeing sugar sugar sugar.... with a side of coffee. I can't wait till I get to work out again. Tomorrow night CF before I go to a school meeting, Thursday CF with a possibility of a friend joining me and maybe hubs. Friday I start C25k over.

Todays food fails: 20oz Iced coffee with SF chocolate sauce and whip cream, a cookie sandwiched with frosting (shared some with the kids after I had a Fat Kid moment of "I don't wanna share") too many frosted mini wheats, Chobani yogurt (wouldn't have been so bad except it was one of the fruited ones so much added sugar), quaker granola (so much sugar) maybe I should measure sugar out and put it in a jar and everytime I eat more sugar, add more to the jar so I see how much sugar I eat a day...
