Well today is busy. Lots of cleaning to do around the house. So this will be short and sweet today.

Why do children cause so much frustration? Yesterday  I had 5 children here with me including my own and I was so frustrated by the end of the day. I went grocery shopping after the extra kids went home and I ended up buying a King sized candy bar to calm myself down. I also made the mistake of going shopping with my kids - so I added to my frustration. But of course not even thinking about it - that one King sized bar was worth 460 calories as I found out his morning after reading the wrapper. OUCH! Which means that I overate my calories yesterday and it explains my weight this morning on the scale. So by trying to calm my frustrations over the kids with food I added to my weight loss frustrations. DOH! I just can't win this week. :I

Anybody out there have any suggestions on a non-food way to deal with frustrations? I can't sell/give away my kids as much as I'd want to some days - so I have to live with them and try not to kill them. lol Drop a comment if you have any suggestions please.

So my weight this morning on the scale was 237.0 lb. :(

 I meditate and have for years.  It really helps me to reduce the stress.  I also got one of those popular bracelets made of rubber and I snap the underside of my wrist with it when I get a craving, for some weird reason that seems to help me.  The only other thing I can offer as a mother who's children are grown is that this time will pass way to quickly and you will look back some day with fond memories.  Just think of every little thing as things your adding to your memory book
