My oldest son which is now 9 1/2 years old lives with his father some 8 hours away. I haven’t seen him since July ‘08 and Won’t see him again till July of this year! I miss him dearly. I talk to him at least once or twice a week though and I let him know how much I love him and his brothers does too! Its really hard to be a “GOOD MOM” from a long distance away. I hope he knows I love him though.

The other 2 boys have improved some-what I don’t know if its their age or how I handle them. I do not act though when I am mad I cool off before I confront their problems. and I spend quality time with them reading books, playing games, helping with homework even if mommy doesn’t feel well. ;)

Christmas was good this year a lil bitter sweet though without my oldest around. Things are starting to get better though.

11 months ago according to my journal entries here I weighed 295. Now I weigh 270..Slow and Steady wins the race! But along with that a new way of living! Its not about Dieting iTs about Eating RIGHT, BALANCED and HEALTHY CHOICES and Getting my butt up and going to the GYM!
Between the GYM and HOME WORK-OUTS I probably work out on average 8 hours a week. I guess that is fairly good ;)

oh here is a key: AVOID SOFT DRINKS EVEN DIET ONES! They make you Retain Water Weight!!

I have been a single mom for over 6 years now. My twins will be 6 in march and my oldest is 8 1/2 years old! I must be doing something right because they are still alive.lol. Sometimes i feel like pulling my hair out though. They love to fight each other and it just drives me bonkers! I just keep trying to be there for them and try to give them a little bit of freedom and independance thats age appropriate. They have it made..maybe a little too much.time to start implementing CHORES!
