Caffine Overload

This morning I just forgot to eat breakfast but I did have a cup of black tea. I took the kids to Barnes and Noble for story time at 10:30 and realized I was hungry. So I decided to treat myself to a grande white chocolate mocha with whipped cream. It was delicious! When I got home I thought I'd see if I could figure out how many points my indulgence would cost me. 9 POINTS!!! And I only get 21 for the whole day. So I thought I wasn't going to let it ruin my day; I would just not eat until dinner and the delicious mocha would just have to count as my breakfast and lunch. Well you can only imagine how I am feeling now after several diet pepsi's to keep me feeling full, the tea and the star bucks extra caffinated mocha. YIKERS. Those of you who do Weight Watchers do not follow my example!
So I ask myself was it worth it? YEP. It was so good. Now the problem is that tonight we have dinner at church and I'll probably be Soooooo hungry that I'll overeat. Maybe they'll be serving something I don't particularly care for, but that almost never happens.

Mommy on her own

So it's been 3 days since Bob left. Being on your own with four kids is an interesting thing. You either just try to survive or you go into overdrive trying to be really organized and creative and stuff. So I think I'm in overdrive right now and it's working for me. I haven't gone off the deep end eating everything in sight. My kids aren't watching 10 hours of tv a day and we're having fun. I think it's really helped that I've been encouraged recently to get back into daily devotions and prayer and I've been doing that. I'm really trying to keep my attitude in check with the kids. We'll see if I feel the same after a few weeks.
Some of my daily challenges: Josiah is constipated and won't eat, I just don't feel like cooking, and boredom at night. One nice thing with Bob gone, less laundry!

Welcome to the blog-o-sphere

I've finally done it. It seems as if everyone I know has a blog...okay not everyone but lots of you. And so I thought I'd give it a try. Really I've been thinking of doing this as a way to keep myself from eating when I'm bored. Admittedly I'm a serious emotional eater. Today I'm eating because my husband will be leaving me for the next 5 weeks and I'm feeling stressed even though he hasn't even left yet. I think it's self pity for the stress I will feel after he leaves. I just snitched twice from my big jar of chocolate chips. Sometimes I have this thing where I need to just finish something (for example all the chocolate chips in my jar) so they will be gone and I won't eat them anymore. It's totally messed up I know. Such is the life I lead.
