Today is the first day of September, in which I was reminded as soon as Taylor got out of bed that her birthday is this month!!!! Starting today I am trying a new approach with my kids. I am going to try not to yell as much and I am going to have more patients and I am going to take out more time for them and not say "wait a minute" so much. Well within reason of course!!
I am going to try not to yell at Michael when he looks right at me and says "NO" right after I told him to do something. I think yelling just pushed him further. I am gonna try not to get so annoyed when Taylor tell's me about every little show or movie she watches. I must admit I find this a very annoying trait of Taylor's. She tell me about TV shows and Movies and most of them I have seen so I already know...But I am gonna just listen, maybe she's trying to really tell me something and I'm not hearing the point of why she's telling me. And my sweet baby Alyssa...If she could just sleep all night. From 8-8 would be great!!! Oh well, I am used to it now, she wakes up every 2 or 3 hours and I let her cry herself back to sleep ( I know poor Taylor ) then finally at like 4:30am she will NOT go back to sleep and well then were up!! For this I am going to try to go to bed earlier. That's hard because I like being the last one up at night. I can get on the computer or watch TV and no one is screaming MOMMY...And as far as Mike goes well I will just ignore him and his comments and not let it bother me!!
Not to mention I am on this new diet, thanks Moriah for sharing your secret with me. And I am gooing to make this work. I have been trying so hard. I haven't weighed my self since I started so hopefully when I decide to step on the scale it will read alot less than it does now. I have to tell you I did step on it one day and it said 80 pounds...Well we all know my scale is broken so the thing is I probably would if it wasn't broken...HAHA...
So here's to making September a good month!!

Those are good goals you've set for yourself and I hope you succeed. Grandma and I found the secret to losing weight is to cut down on portions. We ate Weight Watchers and other "healthy" prepared meals until Grandma started her adventure with hives and allergies, so I don't recommend going that route. Good luck and have lots of patience.
I agree with Granpappy - those are good goals. You can do the diet!! Be patient with it. Don't step on the scale for awhile. You'll know you're losing weight - your clothes will tell the story. For Christmas, Mike will be buying you new clothes to fit in!
Thanks for the support. I am on day 5 of my diet and things seem to be going very well.
