Shrinking Violets Part 4



Recommended Posts

Happy Monday to you girls!! I'm sure all the moms are so happy to finally have some peace and quiet!

Hot here today like usual. I'm so ready for October so we can have cooler weather. We went swimming yesterday and stayed in the pool till way past 11pm and we weren't even cold.

Gonna grab some coffee and get my day started...

At 8:59 my phone rang... it's the new ES PTA Prez, calling me for my sage advice. The first day of school! School hadn't even started yet! & the new Board is all fighting & sending snarky e-mails & generally behaving badly.

To say that I felt a smidge of redemption would be putting it mildly. I really shouldn't be feeling so smug, should I? It's unbecoming, I know. But... I do. Sure, it looked easy -- because I WORKED HARD to achieve that! Yes, there's a lot to do -- I DID IT! So I guess taking the high road eventually does lead to some satisfaction... albeit delayed.

Tee Hee.

Good evening, Violets..

What a great day today. The pool was awesome. 90 degrees and the air temp was 73. Sun was shining and Ethan and I swam for an hour and a half. He is getting so good at getting around by himself. He used to wear a floaty that went around his waist and slipped around his arms, but today he wore the suit that has the floaters built in. We had a ball, swimming and talking and splashing. And the best part is when he came in he was ready for a nap. He's been sleeping for a couple of hours now. We're just waiting for his daddy to come and pick him up. I leave in a few minutes to go to church for the big meeting. I don't know what to expect. I know what I hope, but that's just a hope. I will be just glad to get things over with.

Everyone have a good evening. Enjoy those school kids and their stories this evening. Hope they all had wonderful first days today.

Ya'll been following the Megan Wants a Millionaire guy!?

I was watching that show (I may be repeating myself).. Judy were you watching it? It's like Flavo O Love and all those, but its a sexy girl and a houseful of millionaires going for her. After like the 4th episode, one of the guys (rumored to be a finalist) who apparently was MARRIED, was on the run for killing his swimsuit model wife. Not just killed, cut her up, pulled her teeth out, cut fingers off and stuck her in a dumpster. This morning they announced they found him in a motel, hung himself. Crazy. And after all that, I still am irritated they cancelled the show, I was really enjoying it. Such a BIZARRE set of millionaires; the kind who would go on a tv show and fight other men for a woman.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
