What do you do when your daughter has a problem and you can't make it go away? I guess mother's through the ages have been asking that question. I would like to wrap her in my arms, give her a hug and help her work through it.....not tonight though.
It seems that a teen on the other end of her cell phone did or is doing the trick - I hear giggles.
When do we turn this Mommy thing off?
My Weight Watchers journey has been placed on a temporary "time out". I'm such an emotional eater. I've just been so bogged down with work and what's going on there - my husband's family, the holidays, my daughter - gee let's see how many more excuses I can come up with. I haven't journaled my food for a while, but am trying to be aware of what I put in my mouth, including the multiple candy cane Hershey kisses :) Go, no run to the store right now and get some!
I have noticed one thing. I made a personal resolution to allow myself to be happy, to let the little things go. I guess I'm sort of coaching myself through it. But I feel happier. I have made conscious choices to change my tone of voice and hopefully the targets have noticed the edge is slowly softening.
I just love this time of year - Eric seems to have caught the spirit a lot earlier than usual too. We're putting up the fire fighter tree this year. I can't wait, Saturday won't get her fast enough! I love just sitting in the room with the tree all lit up and nothing else but the glow from a candle or two, some nice music - ah paradise in November.
