Ok I am back! It's here and just as I pictured it. It fits PERFECT in my bedroom. I feel the bedroom is complete now. It has my side tables- 2 dressers and a book case with ROOM to spare and a King bed. Yes it is a HUGE room. The lady who lived here before me stated she never came out of the bedroom. Her TV was in there and she even had a love seat- , she had a queen bed. She told me- she LIVED intuit room. But she was an older lady and somewhat of a recluse. The neighbors though the house was vacant as they never saw her. She didn't like the outdoors, taking walks and was retired.
I live in the entire house. Anyway I have a few thoughts about a new bedspread and a cool thing I want to get a frame for. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
ya can't expect me to get a new bed and use an OLD comforter????
Ok- I have a funny Gigi story. So SOMEBODY 2 years old is potty training. Yes one of these stories. So they have a pretty nice set up for him. A smaller seat fits over the bigger seat for him. Anyway he has mastered number 1......... We are working on number 2. So for number 2 - he has a timer that he has to sit and wait for. It's 10 minutes. I know seems like a LONG time. But DD said he sits and sings, and fidgets before getting to "business".
So yesterday I put him in place and set the timer and let him be. about 2 minutes later he appears in from of me with his britches pulled up, claps his hands and exclaims : I AM ALL DONE!!!! .
I am thinking..... huh? It's been like 4 minutes. So I go in to see his achievement. Nothing- and he STOPPED the timer, and shredded TP all over the floor in a heaping mess.
So I look at the boy- he looks down. I say NOAH, did you stop the timer?
NO Gigi (trying not to laugh- it is stopped at 3 minutes to go)
Noah- did you stop this timer? - he is now turning his back on me and not speaking.
So I get eye to eye with the boy and said: You tell Gigi the TRUTH and you will not have time out. But you need to learn to tell the truth.
I am going to ask you again- Noah did you turn off the timer.
Softly- Yes Noah did (3nd person). He gets a hug, and kiss and then we play.
The issue is that he is starting to learn to lie. AND the thing is- that his parents put him in time out regardless. Now I am not about to tell them how to raise their kid. However I told them the story.
Also the boy was so proud that he was SO GOOD for his Gigi. He really does want to do the right thing. So I suggested that when he does tell the truth they use that as a teaching point rather than punishing him anyway. Otherwise what is the incentive?????????
Do you know they - my DD and SIL- HEARD ME. It was like a light bulb went off. They both said- OMG you are right!
We have been so tired with no sleep and day in and day out of just surviving we hadn't thought that though, as he is just learning.
So yesterday served a good purpose in that way. It was good.
I am drowning in school this week. Today is ALL about writing and a extra project tossed in for good measure. another power point on video.
this time it is on a topic of my picking. But I needed to pick a population group and talk about barriers with that group- and present ways of bridging those gaps.
So I picked of course my beloved diabetics here in the south vs the north. More people are diabetic, acute, and with shorter life spans here due to what they eat, the culture, and deep seeded beliefs. Not to mention the education disparity. So this project is near and dear- so it's not a stretch for me to want to do it. It is the tediousness format, again my "I" personality doesn't do well with little details. I get 'dinged every time".
My WOE is better the last couple days tightening up. I am not eating off plan- but it could be BETTER.
I need to move more- get serious regarding my love of cheese, and eat less. That really would break my stall. So WHY don't I just DO IT?????? That is the million dollar question isn't it!
I think that anyone who has ever battled weight KNOWS what NEEDS to be done. The question is why aren't they? Yup - thus we know the battle starts first in the head!
Ok- now I am done. second load of laundry in dryer, third Bach in the washer and I do need to run out to get a couple things I have to have today. Dish soap, trash bags, odds and end stuff.
Tossing a braut on the grill today- I have the best mustard for it! Really satisfying. I NEED to mow- but the grass it to wet. It needs a day or two to dry out. And by then it will need a second mow. SIGHHHHHHH- It can wait.
Have a great day ladies!
BTW- I am glad I don't have to write so perfect here. As it is I usually STILL go back and TRY to catch those silly typos that turn out so dam funny!
