Today I decided to get Donovan out of the house. It has been one of those day. How to even explain the first incident.
Donovan and I were just relaxing this morning. He was playing the Wii Monsters vs. Aliens. As he was playing he is talking to the game. Then out of his mouth the most horrible thing came out. He says to the game "Where is the F**King bridge?" I had to shake my head for a second and had to listen again. I said what did you say. He said nothing. Then I had to explain to him what a horrible word that was. I was so sad. It made me want to cry, because I have used that word before and just never expected him not to say it. I need to lead by example. Positive examples would be nice. He felt bad and realized that I was upset over that.
Donovan and I went on a date today. We had lunch at TGIFridays and a movie. Lunch was nice. He and I laughed and talked. Of course about silly stuff but we talked. Then off to the movies. Cars 2 was a cute movie, however, Donovan and I could of waited for the movie to come out on DVD. He loved the movie and he laughed. That really is all that matters.
We were going to workout but I decided against. Donovan and I just relaxed for the rest of the evening. I did have to send him to his room because he stuck his tongue out at me because I didn't have hot dog buns. I know he must be crazy. I sent him to his room and told him he needed to apologize to me if he wanted out.
Donovan's behavior. I have to do something about it. I know it is my fault because I have treated him like my baby. He is become mouthy for 5. I know that I am going to be putting my thumb down on a lot of the things he is doing lately. He will be losing time with the television. I know we will be working on his sounds, reading the rest of his books, going outside to sit and play a little. We will be working on a schedule too. Not just for Donovan but for me too. I know it is summer, but I need to go to bed at a decent time. I need to quit staying up reading my books. It is not helping me out at all.
I am so moody right now. This evening I just wanted to cry. I am not sure if I am at the onset of menopause. I really don't care, but this wanting to cry has to go. That is not me. I have just felt lonely today.
I am just having one of those days. Quote of the day:

What a day Wednesday
Today has been a CRAZY day. My sister in law Sarah and mother in law came over today. They were going to get the protective order they needed for Sarah. Sarah is getting a divorce from her husband it is a little messy.
Well I am went with Sarah to try to get some of her belongings that her husband's family had. When we go to the house her husband was there. We were able to come up with a plan to get the exchanging of stuff. I know Scott was not going to be happy because that would mean he would have to come. It would require us to drive out to New Caney to give her husband his stuff. When we got there, there was a misunderstanding and so nothing was exchanged. Scott was mad, and a lot of angry feelings were going on. I was the only reasonable person.
Now I am so thankful that my divorce from Terry was not like this. I honestly don't know what happen and I really don't want to know. That way I can continue to stay neurtral. All I do know is no matter what there is a child involved and this hostility is not good for anyone. Just a crazy situation.
As for Donovan, Scott, and I. We had a nice evening. Donovan accidentally dropped a toy on his daddy's nose while he was laying down. He caused his daddy to bleed. My sweet baby was so sad. He said I told daddy sorry and then cried. I felt so bad for him. After Scott cleaned up the little cut, he held Donovan and told him he knew it was an accident. Poor Donovan.

Thankful Tuesday
Today has really been a great day. I got to spend it with Donovan. My little hapa haole. I love him to death. He just makes my heart melt.
Donovan was able to behave in the weight room when I did my workout today. He watched me run and asked me about all the equipment in the weightroom. It was just funny. He is such a little man that he has so many questions. He asked me how to do things. I think he is so funny.
I took Donovan to McDonalds. He had a great time playing with the other children in the play area. I wish parents would watch their children more. We eventually left after 2 hours. I am trying to find things for Donovan to do that do not require the television.
My favorite person did my hair tonight. I love when Allison does my hair. She always does a great job and doesn't charge me an arm and leg for it. I appreciate her taking the time to do my hair. Next time she will do a Kim Kardashian thing to it. I am looking forward to that.
I guess my quote of the night is:

Monday Monday Monday
Today was another Monday which means the end of summer will be near. I just wish it could last longer. How did my day start off...Crappy.
I was finally able to get into my email at school. Everytime I tried it would say that the computer didn't have some application. These computers are driving me crazy. Anyway to get to the point of posting this. I received an email from an ex coworker. She was very nasty in the email. It seems she had not received my check that I sent her for 52.00 dollars. Well I sent it on June 18, like I told her. Well anyways she informed me that I was robbing her, I didn't answer her calls which I didn't receive a call from her unless she was the unknown calls I would not answer. However, there was no message. I mean I am still trying to learn this stupid phone which I hate. Well she informed me that I was acting like a middle school student. She did say what kind of example am I for my daughter and son. Now that really pissed me off. So I went and checked where I sent the check to. I emailed this person and it seems that I transposed the numbers wrong. I was in such a hurry to get the check in the mail, I just wrote it quick. Anyways the long and short of this, is I informed that the check is out and I guess I will have to put stop payment on the check. As much as I wanted to tell her to stick it where the sun doesn't shine, I told her thank you for her honesty about me. Left it at that. You would think that she would apologize, but not happening. I mean I know at times I can be a ditz, but to question me and say what she did about my children was uncalled for. I kept thinking about the church service last night that made me keep my calm. I had so many evil thoughts going in my head of what I could of said, but I didn't. If I never see this person again it would not bother me. She owes me an apology for the comments she made. Just mean person.
Donovan and I went to the library today. I am so glad the library is free. Donovan was able to do the sandart today. He loved it. I forgot to take pictures, but oh well. He had so much fun. We then checked out some movies for him. He at times love the library and then at times he doesn't care for it. I checked out several movies for hiim. He only has 8 more books to go before he is able to get his blue ribbon. We signed up for the reading program. He only cares about the blue ribbon. However, we have read many different books and they have been interesting.
Where to begin about weight? Trying to lose weight is a pain in my butt right now. I don't even know why. I mean I love the healthy eating I am doing. It has been great. I have definitely changed my eating habits. I mean I have cut out the amount of diet cokes I have in a day. I have cut out eating salt and vinegar chips. I have traded them in apples, squash, grapes, cucumbers,etc. I love the food. It makes me cook more and really realize what I am putting in my body.
Tracking points plus has been more difficult for me since school let out. I had no problem at school, and I am not sure why. I mean what exactly is the difference. My weight is up 2 pounds or down 2 pounds. It is usually the same exact pounds. So I haven't been below 148. However, I know I will get there. I just have to do other things.
I am trying new recipes from the WW cookbook. I have enjoyed the ones I have tried. Then I have experimented with creating new things. Not sure if I should do that but I will try. I am wanting to be the next Master Chef. LOL.
Zumba was great tonight. I did a great job at sweating. I need to look into getting some new shoes. I think I might have tweaked my knee a little. I feel like 40 is setting in. The only thing I disliked about the workout is that being that time of the month makes it miserable. I would love to do Zumba more, but just do not have the babysitter for it. That is ok. I will figure out something in my exercise routine.

Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.
Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.
Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying.
Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED!

Sunday....
Today was a great service at church today. Donovan and I had a great time at church. Lance Price gave an wonderful lesson today. One that really made me think about everything he was saying.I am glad we went.
I am so tired today. I have to find things to do with Donovan and my time. Donovan has been a joy to be with since I got out for the summer. We have read and played. He is such a sweetie. I love him to bunches. He told me today that he loved me a 100 pounds. Not sure what that means, but sounds great to me. He then told me I was the Bestest Super mom ever. He sure knows how to get to his momma.
I started today and let me tell you. I have been in pain. I am not sure how much of this pain I can take. I guess this means I really need to make an appointment with Dr. Benge. I just don't want to hear what he has to say about my ovary. I just don't want anything removed from my body that doesn't need to .
Sorry to hear about a Song Leader at church. Samantha had a miscarriage. I wanted to cry. She is such a wonderful God loving woman that it was just sad to hear this. I know God will open his arms up to her and her husband during this time.
My quote for the night is....Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight."

Saturday
I am a little behind. I need to find time in the evening to post. I seem to have me time more in the morning than in the evening. So here I am sitting in the living room watching the news and updating for the day.
I am becoming very moody the last few days. Anything that is said to me just makes me irritable. Luckily my husband is understanding and knows that I am getting ready to start. However, I have never been this irritable. I mean everything aggravates me. I don't understand. I am not sure if it is age or what, but have decided I don't like it.
Yesterday I spent the time cleaning Donovan's room. Oh my word. He had some of his baby toys still. I couldn't believe some of the stuff he collected. I was able to leave his room with two trash bags of toys and games. Then on top of that as we were cleaning out the closet. I found three pairs of boots. What in the world was I doing. Today I will spend in his room placing things where they need to be.
Donovan and I spent the evening painting his rocket ship. He had so much fun. He was so proud of his rocket ship. I seriously need to find other things to do with him that does not cost a small fortune. I need to think on what we will do next week.
I haven't heard from my parents since Monday. I guess they will call when they are ready to call. I am frustrated with them right now. I know they are helping my brother out with his two children, but what about the rest of the grandchildren. I guess I am still hurt that my father forgot Donovan's birthday. I mean I had to have Donovan call and say "Happy Birthday Papa" Really. He felt bad, but if it were Tina or Alex there is no way he would of forgotten his birthday. I wish Donovan had one set of grandparents who took time with him. ARGH!!!
Last night I worked on my coupon binder for two hours. Oh my word. Organizing coupons can be a pain in the butt. However, I am going to keep it nice and neat. I need to buy more dividers. I think I need 15 more and the binder is seperated and orderly.I didn't realize how time consuming this could be. However, my pocketbook is enjoying my savings. LOL.
Just glad Saturday is done. I will definitely keep this post updated.

A busy month
Well school ended on June 2, and I have been a happy mom/teacher/wife. Donovan and I have spent all our time together. I am enjoying this a lot. I am going to dread when I have to go back to work. I wish I could have other's be followers of my blog, but not sure how well that would go over. Especially since I don't want several people knowing what I am doing.
Donovan had his birthday. Come to find out I pissed off Scott's stepmom and dad. I didn't invite them because they never come. I didn't think there was any reason to say anything. Well I think they are upset. I tagged Rena in one of Donovan's party pictures. She emails me and say wrong mom and nice party though. Then send Donovan a card and it says Pa and Rena. Now I could of sworn she has always signed it Pa and Nanny, but I guess I might be wrong. However, I know I am not.
I am so done with his family. Why are they acting like idiots. I am tired of them being so dramatic. Being from divorced family makes it very difficult to deal with his family. If Karen comes to an outing for us then Allison, Scott's sister won't come. Good grief. I am to the point I don't care what everyones problem is with each other get over it. It is not about them. I just want to so just tell them off. When I do that will be the end of everything.
