30 day challenge - day 14

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

Today's challenge topic for the challenge is someone you’ve drifted away from. I have to admit that most of the people that I was close with in high school I have drifted from. I think that is life though. I think that as you get married, you become closer to your spouse and then you have kids and that bond with your spouse and child are then more important than any other, and I think in all honesty, most relationships with other people fade into the background. I think it takes a really strong friendship to not fade with time. Very few people are blessed enough to have a person like that in their lives, and if you are one of those people, HOLD ON! :-)

My day today went well. It was a bit high stress as I was home alone with my babies all day by myself (not that I don't do that often, but they were in RARE form today) It just seemed like it was a very difficult day. My nearly 5 year old is becoming VERY sassy and I am having a hard time controlling my frustration with her. Anyone have tips for dealing with her attitude. She has also picked up this whining that I cannot handle. I ignore her when she talks like that, but its SO HARD sometimes! Anyway, the frustration didn't draw me to food, but the temptation of the candy pumpkins was just TOO much to resist. I finished off the package today, with the help of the girls. But still wasn't an out of control number and tomorrow is a new day!

I finished off my day with a walk with a friend. We got in two leisurely miles in 34 minutes. lol. Still burned the calories though!

Daily recap:
*1541 calories
*74 g protien
*13 g fiber (slightly under)
*2190 g sodium
*34 fitness minutes
*200 calories burned

    Yes friends do fade. I comment to my friend that I want a strong friendship and would like to see her and her husband more. She replies I see you every three weeks. My mouth hit the floor and I was like, When did that happen. I only saw you twice this summer. I got home tonight and I had a msg asking if my husband and I wanted to go and watch a movie at her place on Friday. Although her husband will not be there? I am like no... we do things with couples not just one person.... I am going to tell her... when tyler is free and you... we will get together. As for your child becoming sassy... try giving time out.... rewards for the behaviour.... maybe she is imitating a show or a person... Introduce he to positive characters... Just my two cents. I love you idea about a blog a day... I just might take you up on that. Although I am not sure if I want them to be public.. Have a wonderful night. emoticon

    Thank you for writing about friendships fading. I think I needed to read that they do.. and.. well, it is okay that they do. Right now, it seems like my friendship with my best friend is fading. I feel like I am hanging onto sand right now.. as I start a new chapter of my life. emoticon
