Last week Scott was away and of course I was as busy as ever. The week seemed to drag on. But I was super happy to have him home with us.


<Children>
I was watching this pastor on TV the other night, Joel Osteen.
He was talking about being positive with yourself and everyone else. He was saying if you have a negative mind set you are setting your self up for bad things. He said if we have a positive outlook on things, great things could come of it.
He also said that we need to praise our children more. Tell them ALL of the great things they've done and are doing. Children do not hear enough how well they are doing and they wind up having such a low self esteem. So sad. I try to always make it a point to find something great every day that my children have done and tell them. I never heard " I am proud of you" from my mom until I was 24. It's unreal how much it hurts to never hear that from your parent. So parents give your child a BIG hug today and tell them something great about themselves.


<food>
I haven't been doing so bad with eating. I am really learning the do's and don't's. Plus I have Scott's help.
We have been going to the gym as much as we can. It makes it nice to be able to go to the gym together
I am anxious to see how I've done this week as far as the weight goes.


Well, I need to go and get the kiddies from their bus.
Have a super day.
