This morning i woke up late. I woke up at 7:30am and realized there was no way I could get my daughter ready and feed her in 15 minutes. To make it to Saturday school on time we'd have to leave by 7:45am. The good news is we can reschedule. I was a little peeved that the school called me Thursday evening to let me know she had Saturday school a day and a half later. This middle school is very dysfunctional. They once called everyone on a Wednesday to let us know there was no school on Friday, even though the calendar they sent out said there was school on that day. I had to scramble to figure out what to do with my daughter that day since I had to be at work and it was too late to reschedule my appointments for the day.
Right now I am in the process of getting my six year old ready to go. We have that birthday swim party to go to and we still have to get her friend a present. I found out the girl's mom invited to whole entire first grade class to the birthday. I am guessing she also invited family and friends which means this is going to be a huge party with probably 50+ people. I am not looking forward to spending two hours with 25 screaming six years olds playing in a pool. A couple of the other moms said they were staying and offered to watch my daughter at the party (since she isn't the best swimmer), but if there's too many kids I would be more comfortable staying and keeping an eye on her myself. We will just have to wait until we get there. I am also not looking forward to the fact that it's a swim party. I am overweight and bloated (it's that time of the month) and I would rather not get in a bathing suit in front of a huge party of people. But it's also a hot day and a swim in a cool pool might be nice.
A friend of mine texted today and invited me and my two daughter's to her boyfriend's house (he's out of town and she is house sitting) for a swim and margaritas. His kids also have a huge trampoline in the backyard. Since we already have plans today I said we'd be up to go tomorrow. Her daughter and my older daughter are best friends so it should be a fun day. The kids will have fun playing in the pool and on the trampoline and my friend and I will have fun relaxing poolside with margaritas. I am not a huge drinker so I may opt for a very light margarita or a virgin one but it still sounds delicious. I just have to make sure that I have low fat snacks with me. Alcohol is a dieter's WORST enemy. Whenever I drink I get hungry and, since I'm intoxicated, I make very poor decisions about what to eat...usually fried food. I have also been at parties where I just get too hungry and end up eating whatever is around because there are no other options. If I bring a small cooler tomorrow with my healthy snacks I know I will be fine if I get hungry. Actually, I should probably do that today as well.
For breakfast today I had the usual: Special K, sugar free Redbull, and my morning Alli pill. For lunch today I might have the Three Cheese Ziti (microwave meal) or a Subway sandwich if I eat on the go. I am not sure what we're going to do for dinner tonight...maybe go out to dinner somewhere or maybe we'll try a new recipe.
Daily goals: I haven't been doing very well keeping my daily goals. They usually consist of something that takes time...something I usually short of. Today's goal is going to be simple: try to keep track of the amount of Nicorette I chew today. I want to start cutting down but first need to understand how much I am consuming.
I have to go now. I have to find my bathing suit...fun.
