Day 2

Well, today was alot easier then yesterday. I am definitely in better spirits today. Thank you everyone for your comments. Shannon- your welcome to call anytime, I do not have long distance and Stephen has the cell phone so I have no way to call anyone that is long distance for me. I had a good day at work and only had one short period of "down" time and that was cause a guy at work asked me if I was married. I didn't know what to say. I am still legally married but we are getting a divorce and we haven't filed yet. So what do I say? Do I say yes, I am married, or I am getting a divorce, or I will be going through a divorce soon, or yes, but we are separated until we file for divorce. I am totally lost on this, I do not know how to answer that question right now. I think yesterday was so hard because it was my 1st full day o my own and basically a new job at the same time. Its the same company but being on a different shift I don't know anyone.
The kids are doing ok. Jade got upset at school yesterday. All four of them got to talk to their dad last night before supper and then Jade and Starla talked to him to say goodnight at bedtime.
So far our mornings have went pretty smoothly, yes its only been 2 days and I expect by the end of the week I will have trouble motivating in the morning, but I have been very proud of myself for getting up on my own with and alarm clock the last 2 mornings. I have not done that since high school! I just need to remember to make lunch! I was starving today! Mom gave Piper and Anakin each a folder and she is working on their ABC's with them. Piper was so proud when she showed me her papers. Anakin showed me a car and airplane he colored, he was also very proud of his work!

On another note...I wore a pair of jeans to work today that the last time I wore them I had to lay on the bed to button them(its been about a month). I put them on this morning and they buttoned no problem! So when I got to moms this afternoon, I used her scale, since I don't have one and I have lost 11 pounds! I am thrilled! I started walking some last week and have been using my walk away the pounds dvd. Plus I have cut the sugar in my coffee by half and I don't drink it all day long, I have 1 cup in the morning and that's it. OK, so its 1 BIG cup, but 1 none the less! lol!

I told Anakin to get on the potty, well he got mad so he went to just plop himself down on the potty, but the cushion part wasn't on there so he sat in the bowl! It was probably funnier being here, but I got a kick out of it so I had to share.

Tell them whatever you're comfortable with. Glad to hear you're losing weight. I'm very proud of you. And it might have been funnier being there but I laughed pretty good about Anakin.

Way to go on the weight loss Ellen!! I think you should just tell people what you are comfortable with. You are doing so well with all of this. You always amaze me girl!!! I'll call you soon.
