Really hectic
Things have been real hectic around my house. I no longer have a job. My aunt had to put my grandmother in a nursing home. My aunt is thinking she’ll come back out and is paying me for a couple more weeks so I don’t go out and look for a job. I can’t sit around and wait because our checkbook will drain.

Diet wise, I’m not doing to bad. I really am anxious to get weigh in done on Thursday even though I know there will be a gain. I am ready for phase 2.
I’m almost two weeks late on my monthly. Three pregnancy tests and all are negative. Getting ready for a storm tonite. We are due for 12-16 inches of snow. We’ve not had that much snow at once in years. It’ll be interesting. Kind of nice to be able to stay at home and not have to worry about getting out in it.

I sure hope you get a break in the storm soon. (Figuratively and literally.)
1. I did spank, but only when they were obnoxious toddlers.
2. Mostly negative. I don’t feel good about invading another person’s space like that, no matter how small they might be. If I were older and/or had more patience, I would have utilized nonviolent methods like time outs.
3. It had to be something really bad. Willfully bad, like when I told them not to do something dangerous or damaging, they looked at me with defiance and anger, then did it anyway.
4. My reason behind not spanking now, if I were to have more kids and do it over again, is that I believe that every person has a right to not be physically assaulted.
I think I’m glad we’re not in Indiana right now!!!
