About Me

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
I'm first of all a Christian mother. I have five children and two grandchildren whom I adore. Does this make me June Cleaver? Not even on a good day. But I do wake up every day acutely aware of how my actions affect the behavior of my children and even others around me. I said I was AWARE of it not that I was GOOD at it! So goes my day...

Ok, so I started the 6 Week Body Makeover diet yesterday morning and had fresh flounder and asparagus for 3 meals plus grapefruit for snacks. Boring, yes, but somehow satisfying. This morning it was 3 eggwhites with spinach and mushrooms. Not too bad. No salt, just pepper. And NO CHEESE! Man, I miss pizza! I long to hear "Mangia! Mangia!" So say the nice and plump (and happy!) Italian women. I'm at least part Sicilian. Dad was half Sicilian. My Italian parts are "butt and thighs."
The flounder was better than I thought and I didn't crumble under pressure to eat the good stuff. Although the seasoning I used gave me some really rank breath....So says my daughter. Maybe it was the "fat burning" that gave me rank breath! Maybe............But I'd take a little dragon breath over the extra weight any day. At least for a while.
I'm still waiting on the "body band anchor" to arrive in the mail. I can't use the exercise stuff without it. I could go walking instead. I should go walking. But it's sooo hot outside! A treadmill would be nice. If we get the apartment that I want there will be a gym I can use while the kids are in school. That will be really cool. But then it will only work if I use it.
What I'd like to do is apply at the kid's school as an assistant. Part-time anyway. I may not bother until I find out how the mural business is going to take off. Fast I hope. I'll have a business ad in a local mag in September. If that doesn't drum up enough business, then I'll go ahead and apply at the school as an assistant.
My daughter might not be too happy about that but that's just too bad. She'll be home all by herself with her baby during the day. She'll go to school at night but that "doesn't count." Her biggest concern is that she won't know exactly what I'm doing and where I'm doing it. Whatever "it" is...........I think she'd crawl back up inside if she could.
