So tonight we sent Dean off; it always sucks, but tonight he left too early to tuck the girls in and boy were they angry after he left. I tried distracting them and nothing worked, so I took them to walmart and bought them chocolate ice cream because that’s what they asked for. Score! They went to bed happily distracted and even talked to Dean on the phone before going to bed without getting upset again. I’m proud of myself because I haven’t dipped into that ice cream even though it’s Breyer’s, my favorite brand. Yay me!
Dean had what he called a nightmare about having a third little girl...one coming along really soon. I laughed it off and told him it was a cosmic April Fool’s joke, but I can see where it would upset him. Another right now would pretty much strand us in Natchez and kill any chance at me becoming a CRNA...
I lost 4.6 pounds this week on Weight Watchers, which is great! A good part of it was water weight from Aunt Flo, but that’s okay too. I found some great low-points recipes this week, too, the best of which was called inside-out cabbage rolls. There was also a really good mexican meatloaf and a vegetable-rice skillet that was also really good. It looks like I’ll have to buy a steamer online; the one in walmart was a cheap piece of garbage that probably won’t last a week. I keep asking myself why
I’m surprised to have to order one online.
Grandma got Claudia and Nadine a basketball goal for their birthdays so we’ve been spending a good amount of time outside. Dean cut the grass this time in and cut down all of the wildflowers. Nadine had been picking flowers every day so she’s a little upset with him; she told me he could cut the grass but not the flowers next time. Just imagine Dean trimming the grass with scissors trying to spare the wildflowers!
Did I mention there are chocolate-covered donuts in the house and I still haven’t given into the junk food? I have so much self-control now that it scares me...
