I'm Having a Moment - ok a Day

[chicamarun]

It's been one of those days - started off just fine and then my kids

I tell you my 10 year old is going to get soap in his mouth really soon

I was stressed and craving something sweet - luckily still had some pumpkin cheesecake and ate more than I should have but felt better afterwards. I know - not the best thing - but at least I am still WAY under for carbs for the day so it shouldn't be such a big deal.

It's just amazing how drained I feel just from arguing with my son today!!! Over stupid stuff too - reading a book!! WHICH HE PICKED OUT TO READ FOR HIS REPORT!!

I'm off - I had to vent and have an outlet of some sort because it drove me to actually eat something - but now I am going to have to make a few more sweet treats in case of emergency again since I am running low. I have made little chocolate peanut butter "balls" each with <1 carb and leave them in the freezer for a quick fix - and I saw tonight I have 1 left. Guess tomorrow in the middle of doing so many other things I need to get done I will end up making more cookies

Catch you all at roll call!!

Hang in there Dana.

My daughter is 14.5..... She is in prime teenage hormonal terror mode almost daily...... I have heard from my older brother and sister that this is a phase and about the time they graduate from High School that they become human again. I think my daughter started at 10. We get fleeting glimpses of the sweet daughter that we know she is... LOL

I just try not to let it get to me any more. Instead of the arguments I simply start taking away privledges.

Good Luck,

Julie

Dana, I hope yesterday is in the past, and today is a fresh bright day full of smooth moving. Keep focused and keep moving forward....eating over it will just add to the stress!

My kids are always kind, gentle, generous, and well-behaved.

LOL Ever - yeah ok.....

WE made it through the day - and in some ways I can't wait until he gets past this "stage" but I think we found something that will help as in something I can take away if his lil ole attitude doesn't change. I've tried taking away the computer, DS, TV etc and it doesn't work. BUT this weekend he started shooting club with the 4-H and I don't go and his sister (who is eligible) didn't go - it's just his thing and he is dreaming of hunting So now it can be used as a bartering tool if need.

hang in there!! and yes, tuna with mayo gets me through a lot of stressful eating times. so does cream cheese, a little splenda, and a little cocoa powder.
