thursday

I'm so glad it's Thursday!!! I have been doing so good this week! I have only lost 1lb, but that is so much better than a gain right! I have got to get my lazy tail up and start back working out. I'm just so tired from working. I got home this morning at 1:15 and my little girl just has to wake up. She didn't want to go back to sleep until 3:00am, I was getting a little frustrated with her.

I got some really good news yesterday and I got some bad (sad) news as well.

The good news first... Yesterday was the last day of school and dh and I went to my sons honors day program. Well we found out that he is going to be in the gifted childs program next year!! I'm so proud of him!! I always knew that he was really smart, but for his teacher to tell me how smart he is made me feel SUPER good as a Mom! The funny thing is she has told me lots of times how well mannered he is at school and she said I don't know how you do it! That kid has made his Mom and Dad so happy!!!!!! Go Tanner!!!!

On to the bad... My Mom is getting married in Sept. I found out yesterday that I will be the only daughter to be there. No my sisters aren't not coming cause of her soon to be hubby, but because of her! I feel bad for my Mom cause this is suppose to be a happy day for her and without all her kids people are bound to ask questions why. This is why, my 26 year old sis hasn't been speaking to her lately, so my Mom finally called her Monday night and asked her to be there and she said no my son has a football game that day. I get that my Mom has been a shity Mom, but I just wished my oldest sis would just suck it up this one day for her. Now my lil sis is another story. My sisters honors day was yesterday too and she asked my Mom to please come. My sis always gets A B honor roll every year, my Mom has NEVER came to a honors program for her. Well she was a NO show yesterday. It broke my lil sisters heart. So her way of thinking is why should I go to her wedding when for 9 years she hasn't been to any of my school events. My sis is in the band and my Mom can't even tell you what she plays. I feel so sorry for her (my lil sis that is)!! I wish I could just take her pain away, but my Mom is the only one that can do that and she never will. They got into a fight yes with their fist about a month ago. I told my Mom to after 3 weeks of them not seeing or specking to just go over and talk to her, that's all the kid wants. Well she did and it made my lil sis so happy, but the bad thing is my Mom never would have went over if I didn't tell her to. Back to the wedding I feel sorry for my mom but she done this all to her self. I'm just going to feel very weird being her only child there ya know what I mean.

Okay enough of the bad. I hope everyone has had an awesome week! Off to check!!

What goes around...

... comes around.  You've been a great Mom to your kids and are reaping the rewards.  You can only get back what you give, right?  From what I can tell, your Mom is getting back exactly what she put in.

Congrats to you and your son.  I'm sure you've both worked really hard for this accomplishment.

Have a wonderful day!

You can't fix it

I can see you are loving and caring and you want what is best for everybody, and I know you will keep trying to "fix" things for people all your life because that is part of who you are - but don't feel bad when things don't get "fixed." 

Your mom is who she is and she's probably not going to change.  Your baby sis - God love her - is learning independence too young; it is rough to grow up too fast when your mom isn't there for you.  Be glad that you can be there for your sister - she's always going to need you.  And try not to be too mad at your big sis - maybe she feels like by being there for her son instead, she's not making the same mistakes your mom made. 

Just go to the wedding with a big smile and well wishes for your mom, and don't worry about any snarky comments the other people are bound to make - it's not your problem what other people think.

You do your thing...

YAY on your son!!  That is so awesome!!  Sorry about your mom.  You can't fix her problems or your sisters, but you can do what you can for both of them.  Family dynamics are often sad.  Hopefully someday they will reach a middle ground.

Proud Mama: D

You should be very proud of your son! I so happy that your son will be in the gifted class! Thats very good news: D

.....I think you should go to the wedding and give your mom support, even if your sisters aren't coming.Hopefully they can work it out, if not now then maybe in the near future.

Keep the faith and stay strong.

Congratulations!

What wonderful news regarding you son!  You definitely deserve to be one proud mama.  As to the rest, I agree with the previous commentors - just support your mom as much as you can.  You're doing the right thing by going.  Your sisters will do what's right for them, and all you can do is what's right for you.

Woohoo!

Great job mama on raising a great kid!  You definitely deserve to gloat a bit!  that's awesome.

As far as your mom goes...she's made her own bed so to speak...you can't live her life for her...you have to be happy in your own...

(hugs)

You should be so proud of your son....and yourself.  You definitely had a lot oto do with it! 

And be proud of your pound that you released!  LOL!
