DAY 11: "For Better or for Worse"

Thursday 10/24 -

My daughter was sick again today... I am hoping & praying she improves enough by morning to go to school - she seems fine during the day... And I hesitate to keep her home in fear of "the letter" I received last year after my son had so many absences (simply from being sick - I promise)! This makes 4 days this month!! After 10, I get a letter, and after 12, I get another letter saying I have to have a note from the doctor saying she is healthy enough to go back to school. So I kind of feel like "for better or for worse", she needs to go to school...

So today was a little hard. Not just because she was home, but because my son's homework brought out the worst in both of us. 

Basically, he feels like I think his homework is more important than he is & I don't love him... Oh my goodness! There is something I need to work on... My husband took over with homework, thank goodness, and played mediator while we had a good emotional talk. Talk about your heart breaking while your 10 year old son is balling while you are hugging him, because his heart is breaking (I have tears as I write this). He has always been a sensitive kid, but man - this time was a little different. I felt really bad. I really need to ease up on the homework thing... And reassure him that "for better or for worse" I love him!!!

Today, I didn't start my exercise until after midnight. I was already emotionally exhausted, and physically tired too, but I made a commitment. So I exercised as best I could for 35 min (high & tight). Boy are my legs sore!! After that, I pretty much passed out on the fold-up  mattress I was using (the yoga mat hurts my hips too much on the tile floor)... "For better or for worse" also refers to the way by body is feeling. Better is my back... Worse is my shoulders. They are tighter than tight... So painful! That is part of the reason I didn't do the abs exercises...

So - that is today... Not too much excitement with exercising, but lots of stuff none the less.

Until tomorrow "For  better or for worse" I WILL keep at it...

Nighty night!!
