This is why I don't go out.

I went out with the girls last night. I think (and I say think loosely) I drank about 20 pts worth of alcohol and mixers. Ugg. Why did I do that? I never drink. I would much rather eat my points, if you know what I mean but well, I was just having fun. I should have known better.

Even tho I begged the girls to bring me home earlier (b/c I did know what my life would be like today) they said no and since I had no means of getting back I stayed there. Got home around 2:30 in the am and my ds woke up at 5:30. Then Tom started. Then my dd woke up. So, here I am, tired, crampy and hung over taking care of an almost 3 yr old and a 16 month old. Dh has drill this weekend so I am on my own.

Oh well. I hope that I didn't blow my entire week in one night. I have done pretty well. Maybe I will take the kids for a walk this afternoon and get some exercise points. I do have to say, that Jimmy Dean D-Lights- A food review that I posted about was about the best in hang-over cures I have been able to manage in a long time.

I hope you all have a wonderful sunday.

Jimmy Dean D-Lights- A food review

Have you seen these? http://www.jimmydean.com/d-lights/

I saw them and thought what the heck. They have 260 calories, 7 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. So 5 pts per sandwich. (a little high but when you need the grease of a good hang over cure they definately work...and more on that later). They are really big and actually taste just like the ones you get from McD's. Spreaking of McD's...this is what you get with the real one. Sausage McMuffin w/Egg 450 cal/27 g fat/2 g fiber: 11 ww pts

I actually shared one w/my kids this morning. It is REALLY very filling.

Just say no!

To Carl's Jr.
I took some of our kids out to get fitted for prom today (ugg...let me tell you how difficult that was) and then afterwards we walked over to Carl's house. I sat there looking at the menu as my stomach rumbled and really, wanted to cry. They have VERY little there that even remotely resembles good for you.
I ordered the kids food and then went and sat down. Pulled a granola bar out of my purse and munched on it, very slowly, while the kids ate french fries and chili cheese burgers. I got back to the office around 1:30 and pulled out my leftover kabobs from last night. And was glad that I did. They were soooooooooo much better than those stupid fries and burgers would have been.

Oh, the kabobs. They are HG and delish. You soak the chicken in pineapple juice and then add tons of veggies. You drizzle with terriakki sauce (and I know I spelled that wrong) just before you serve it. OMG! So good. I highly recommend this marinade and dinner. Don't forget to drain the juice before you cook the bird tho!

Happy evening all.

REALLY???? You think?

I work with emotionally disturbed kids. It is a tough job but one that I love and hate equally. I get paid crap and get cussed at, hit, kicked, spit on, and things thrown at me on any given day. You know, I have been at this job for 10 yrs and really, even with all that the only things that have ever made me HATE the job is the EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED "ADULTS" that I work with. And I use the term "adult" loosely.
Okay, sorry about the b* fest. Just get really frustrated sometimes. Why? You might ask. Well, since I imagined you did I will tell you...

We are planning a summer camp (oh joy) which includes travel, games, and all kinds of delights that normal kids would love. Our kids, are not normal tho. They are beyond not normal. Think Bart Simpson on crack. Lovable but oh so, um, energetic and imiginative. Well, we try to work things out so that they are doing things that they will enjoy while keeping them busy. However, not everyone is as detailed oriented like I am and when I point out flaws in the plans I get told that it will be fine.
HELLO! People! I have been here for 10 yrs. You have been here for 6 months. Explain to me how you know that your plan will be better than mine? How do you know that things will just "work out?" WTF!
So, I went and got frozen yogurt. With grahm crackers. And it was good. And only 4 pts.

Okay, I am done feeling superior and "talking" my 2 readers 4 ears off. :-)

Hope you all are having a wonderful evening. I am off to watch my soap!

The invisible injury and a NSV

Oh, the invisible injury. I have no clue what happened but when I was at work yesterday my leg started hurting me. Like so bad I was limping. It is near the shin area and maybe about 3 inches below the knew slightly to the left. When you touch it, I can't feel anything so I can't really pinpoint a spot that hurts but hey, there you have it. There were a couple times last night that my legs almost buckled from the pain. Mostly it was if I had been sitting for a while and put just the right amount of pressure and stood up. Oi!
Any ideas?

Oh, my nsv. I bought a gallon of that delicious dryers slow churned no sugar added cookie dough ice cream...whew, that was a mouth full. Normally I wouldn't keep ice cream in my house b/c it is one of my major down falls, but I took the plunge anyway. So, I didn't touch it for a couple of days and then had a major ice cream craving. I pulled it out. Looked at the serving size and actually got out a measuring cup...and then I USED it! and only once too...then I have some sugar free fudge and did the same thing. I made myself a delicious 4 pt (yeah, the fudge is hefty) but filling sundae and you know what, I really didn't need any more than that. In the past I would have just shoveled a bowl full and ate that thinking it was a serving. Also, another little trick I used was the toddler/infant bowls are just the right size to make that sundae look HUGE!

What little tricks do you all use to get in the things you like and still feel like you are getting a fair share?

weekly weigh in...

Well, the blog was not working for me this morning so I couldn't just copy and paste my information...therefore, this is what you get.
Down 1.7 lbs! Woot! Somewhere along the lines of 23 lbs total.
Can I just say YES!???? Finally some progress.

Do you think that hair weighs a lot? The reason I ask is that I got my hair cut on Friday. About 10 inches of it. Yes, I donated it so no worries there and yes, I had totally planned on doing it. No, I don't love my hair cut. It is way to short and I think my face is to round to pull off a bob but what you going to do? It touches my shoulders still.
Anyway, sorry about the ramble but I was wondering how much you thought that all weighed? I should have put it on the scale just to check it out. It had to be at least a couple of ounces.

Oh, my daughter spent yesterday attached to me and she is definately not well. I am going to try and get her into the dr.'s today. I think she may have an ear infection and I think the puking was related to mucus in her little tummy. Sorry if this is tmi. Anyhoo, talk you guys later.

Tough Day.

Dh left for work at 4:45 am. DD work up at 5am screaming, but fortunately was able to go back to sleep. Me, not so much. Ds woke up at 6 in a fine mood. Yelling at me, peeing his pants 3 times, pushed me, pushed his sister and then his sister got up and puked all over me. All before 7:30 am. I need coffee.
I cleaned her up an she seemed fine. Ds continued to be quite the angel and I got dinner started in the crockpot for the night. DD puked again, ds peed again and I really need calgon to take me away.
It is times like this I want chocolate. It makes me feel better. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....I hate being so reliant on food.

Oh well. DD is asleep. My sister came and took ds to the store and now I am trying to clean up. I ate a huge bowl of watermelon to try and curb my chocolate craving. Not quite working but not as bad as it was. I think I will go grab a fiber one bar.
