My oldest is a bit depressed. She is trying to figure out how to pay for her car and pay for college. She is getting some scholarships, but unfortunately having married parents that both work doesn't help with the area of grants or financial aid. It's frustrating, I know, and we can't help a lot with three other kids at home. I told her she can always live at home after college and pay off her loans.

I have had a good week with my eating and exercise. I did 30 minutes of walking this morning and 45 minutes of Zumba. I feel great! I weigh in tomorrow and I'm going to go down to the kitchen. My oldest said that she thinks the scale is 5 lbs. heavy because we have small tile in our bathroom. She weighed on two different scales, at different houses, and they both weighed the same and she was 5 lbs. lighter. We'll see tomorrow if the wood floor is better than tile.

If anyone has advice on financial aid and college, please share the information! Thanks!
