Meece

Thank you, Seyle.  I think we should celebrate when you hit 15,000.

 15 here and my sons is wearing just a sweatshirt with a T shirt underneath.

Meece

Yes, Sheila.  I hope they were yummy.  I myself had 2/3 of a burger and some fries last night.  I have stopped trying to eat everything on my plate.  I think it is working because I can't seem to fathom how I ate the whole burger before.  My tummy must be shrinking.

Makratz

Good job Meece!

Meece

And what did I just do?  Ate a piece of See's candy for breakfast!

sheila888

The bread had freezer burns they were snow white. So its in the garbage. I couldn't live my dream last night. I had some cheese and crackers.

I don't know how cold it is today here is very cozily warm.

Having the miracle drink and getting ready for Sandy's store.

See you all later......

I was just doing laundry.  I always check my sons pockets because I have washed many cell phones and ipods.  Today when I stuck my hand inside his pocket, I pulled out last nights chicken breast.  Don't you all miss having kids at home??

raincitygirl

Oh gross!  Was he hoarding or hiding it because he doesn't like it.  My son put his pants in the wash with about 20 sugar cubes....did a little damage to the washer.

Just worked out with the trainer - he was brutal today but i really need to get some weight off.  

Makratz

He doesn't like to aeat anything except peanut butter and crackers and mac and cheese.  He was hiding them.

Off to soccer!

Meece

I will take this time tonight to write a little story about my boys when they were young 5 and 7 maybe. 

I would set the boys at the dining table to eat anything, they were never allowed to walk around with food, so all meals and snacks (of my choosing) were at the table.  One day while doing my detail cleaning I opened up the table to put the leaves away.  On the ledge under the table were pieces of meat, vegies and sandwiches.  All hard as bricks and barely recognizable.  I was so angry at the waste of food and wanted to teach them a lesson, so I took an empty cereal box and put the "stuff" in it.   I then took a milk jug that was near empty and added about 2 cups of water.

The next morning I told the boys I had a breakfast surprise and poured the "stuff" into bowls and poured the "milk" over it.  They looked at me in disbelief.  I told them if I ever found wasted food hidden again I WOULD make them eat it.  It must have made an impression because they never used that hiding place again, or any other as far as I know.

I used "scare" tactics to manage three inventive boys.

Meece, the way how you treat to your sons was the right thing  due to which they are able to carry by themself. And  it is very nice tactics of yours - somthing very scary  to them but love and affection in your heart. Being a mother, we  should not show  our sympathy and love directly to them which spoils in their growth. I too very strict  with my children, I never scold them but I let them to do whatever they want  with my strict vigil on their every movement of work or whatever may be. They are now able  to run my themself, my eldest one is 29yrs,  the youngest  is 24. They don,t stay with me but  they care so much for me.

Meece

That is the best reward for the years of worry and fretting we go through.  To be able to know our children can make it on their own and that the care for you.  It also is wonderful when people tell you what a great child(children) you have. 

Although I never had any intentions to make the boys eat that stuff, they knew what the point of my "performence" was.  And they didn't hate me for it.

Off to visit my Aunt who has stage 4 colon cancer.  Be back later.  Enjoy your day!
