Friday Confessions: Farewells and Other Stuff

I confess...

I have been really struggling with my weight the past few weeks.  Okay really it's been since Christmas.  I have been up and down and up with the same six pounds.  I refuse to accept that my body has "settled" and "likes" where it is. And yet, I am really struggling with the motivation.   Maybe I need to get back into my Metabolism Blues blog to keep me more honest and on track.

I confess...

I had an IEP meeting yesterday for my Little Middle.  Those meetings exhaust me.  It's a lot to take in and a lot to remember.  I am not known for retention...unless it is water based.  She is transitioning to middle school.  I am not ready.  I wasn't ready when she started Kindergarten either.  We both survived.  Mostly. 

I Confess...

I am glad so very glad I am going to Zumba this morning.  I am glad because it will be nearly 2 hours of no kids.  No kids fighting over petty things.  It's a four day weekend for us.

I confess...

I am not looking forward to summer break at this moment. 



I Confess...

I am totally sad that Glamazon is taking time away from blogging.  I do respect her decision and support her 100 percent.  But I am sad.  I am happy that Mamarazzi will be keeping the confession meme alive and running.  After all, what would we do if we couldn't come clean each week??  So go and visit both of these fabulous ladies.  Give Glam some cyber love and tell Mamarazzi thanks for keeping such a fun Meme going!
What do you have to confess?

I confess that sometimes the only real motivation for me to get to zumba is b/c I can have kid-free time!

Glamazon was one of my first followers. I dug her blog and I am definitely going to miss it. I suppose we will all have that day eventually that we will have to hang it up.

My kids fighting over petty things? Sounds oh so familiar and I only have two!

I'm off to Zumba too! (That is putting on a sweatsuit and eating a smothered burrito, right?)

i use to work for a school district and i did ALL of their IEPs, talk about overwhelming, i had 1163 students on education plans...i really felt for the parents it is a LOT to absorb.

thanks for the sweetness...long live Friday Confessional!!

I believe that stubborn six pounds is called a "plateau" and they sucketh mightily. I cheer thee on to more zumba. I myself will be killing weeds - at least I can see some results when I do that.

I confess I'm terrified over summer break...it's so stinkin' hot here and the Grands are soooo busy. Hopefully my new Grandma's helper will work out!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
