Oh Tracy, one of these days I hope our paths do cross at WDW, that would be so much fun! When we all make our goals, we'll celebrate with a Wish Sister Meet okay?
I didn't do very well at the party last night. Just too much food. I didn't really have that much fun, I wasn't in the mood to be with a bunch of people, many of whom were drinking way too much. It was the six month anniversary of when my mom died, and it just wasn't where I wanted to be. I am more of a small gathering kind of gal. Anyway, I ate too much and came home feeling bloated and disgusting.
Good news: Today was good on the food front. I also did one hour of aquasize at the pool. I had Subway for lunch but did split some nachos with dh and ds and had three bites of candy bar. Other than that, its been good. Those concession stand nachos are hard for me to resist! But if we all split an order, I get the taste without as much guilt. I have so far drank about 64 oz. of water and 40 oz. of herbal, decaf tea. Trying to flush out the salt and fat I ate last night!
I plan to walk tomorrow and get the house organized. I have to get the kids winter clothes out of the closets and over to Good Will. I also have decided I have sat long enough on some of my mom's clothes. In the end, I can lose weight, but I can't lose 4 inches of height so I'll never be able to wear those clothes. I plan to keep a few of her Christmas sweaters and the dress she wore at my wedding. The rest can be taken to Good Will. And after that, once I take my brother's boxes to Omaha, all of my mom's belongings are finally squared away. Sheesh, its taken me six months. But I found its not easy to box up, distribute and give away a whole lifetime of things.
I saw the Assistant Principal of the kids former school today at the pool. She told me she is furious that the teacher who harassed ds out of the school wasn't fired after all. The principal who had promised repeatedly this witch would not be back for the next shcool year as usual told me what she either thought I wanted to hear or what she thought she had the guts to do. In any case, my instinct was right, it didn't happen and I am glad I didn't gamble and keep them there for another year. Several other families have decided not to return due to the teacher as well. Too bad, but so glad I got the kids open enrollment secure for this year. If I hadn't and I had found this out today, I probably would have thrown myself into the pool, cinder blocks first!

No worries about the food! Today is a new day!
I am so glad that you were able to move the kids out of that school!
Also the pool was packed, they had two day camps there, you could barely move. So I got in my fifteen minutes and that was it. Thought I could walk tonight after dinner but we had to pick up stepdad at the airport, he had gone out of town for a great niece's wedding. So we ended up having dinner with him, pulled the McD's drive thru. Then stayed for a couple of hours and visited with him. He is taking us out to dinner tomorrow night, if I would have just remembered to cook something and bring him a dish of it, we could have avoided two meals out, two nights in a row. He wants to take us out for our anniversary which is very sweet. 
I think it is so sad that they can't see that their father/father in law is grieving and needs their support; not criticism. Families can be so difficult at times.
