It's Over!

Im eating carbs!! Joe and I tried the no carb diet for two miserable days and neither of us lost anything so yesterday I decided to try a low fat diet to see if that works and I lost 1 & 1/2 lbs in one day! I'm going to try that for a couple of days to see what happens!!

Joe picked up Tall yesterday from college and now my house looks like a bomb went off with all his stuff! I didn't realize he had taken that much to school!! I have DAYS worth of laundry to do (luckily for me I LOVE to do laundry!) and he conveniently threw the clean in with the dirty so I have to wash everything which is probably a good idea since who knows where it was laying at school!!
Grande comes home tomorrow so I'll start all over again!! :)

Happy Thursday and I'll see you tonight for Follow Friday 40 and Over!!

• Mocha's bridal shower is this Saturday!  The latest count given to me from her Mom is 78 people!
• Venti volunteered me to make my Strawberry Salad for the shower.  I have no idea how much salad I will need for 70 some people.  I'll be sure to thank Venti later!  :)
• I also made 5 gift baskets for the shower that will be used for prizes for the games they will be playing!  I'll take a picture of them and post it with the shower pictures.
• Venti called yesterday and asked me if I had a song in mind for the Mother/Son dance at the wedding.  I told him I didn't.....did he?  He said he likes Rascal Flatts, "My Wish" and The Pretenders, "I'll Stand By You".....I listened to them on Youtube......I cried.
• Venti, Joe, Grande, Tall and Short are going for Tuxes on Friday afternoon!  I work and so I won't be able to go...:(
• I can't wait to see how much 5 tuxes are going to cost!  I think Venti's is free....woohoo!
• Speaking of jobs...I have been at my new job for 5 1/2 weeks now!  I have gotten used to standing and I do get to sit throughout the day so that isn't so bad.  I do like the job much better then the job that I left...its just very hard being away from home all day.
• School starts in 12 days!  I cannot believe that Summer is over already.  I do not like the routine of school....homework, lunches, uniforms...ugh!  Tall will be a Senior and Short will be in 5th grade.  Grande will be a Junior in college!  He is studying Criminal Justice.
• I haven't heard from Debi Scissorhands yet about my dress!  I am anxious to see it finished and to try it on!
• Joe and I have been searching for a place to have the rehearsal dinner but we are having a tough time finding a place that will seat about 50 people...and on a Friday night!
• I will announce on Friday's Blog Hop who won to be this weeks featured blog!
• Joe and I went to a party at our neighbors house last Saturday.  We were the oldest one's there....and no one even noticed!  :)
• Time to go and pack my lunch for tomorrow....turkey on a honey wheat sandwich thins (love those), sunchips and peaches....catch up on blog reading.....shower....watch Deal or No Deal....fall asleep to reruns of The Golden Girls.....exciting huh??

So different..

I am so frustrated! How can 1 of my 4 sons be so different then the others?? Not only does he get bad grades, but when we confront him about it he gets an attitude!! I just don't get it. We raised them all the same and yet he is so different. I never try to compare them because they are each individual but they were all brought up the same way...same household...same parents...same everything! I am talking about Tall. He now has 2 F's...one in Algebra and one his American History. Everytime I question him about his grades he gets all defensive and raises his voice at me! Well this does not go over too well with me. None of the other boys do that so why should he?? We even took away his laptop for punishment thinking he was spending too much time on it and not studying but this was a month ago and he only had the one F at the time! I get email reports from his teachers and yesterday I got one that said he got a 60 on his "quiz" in his Am. History class. When I asked Tall he said, "I didn't study because quizzes don't count!!!".....I couldn't believe it when he said that! I had made a roast with potatoes and carrots yesterday...had it cooking all day and it sure did smell delicious! Well when Tall came to the dinner table I asked him about this "quiz" and that's when he raised his voice at me and needless to say, dinner was ruined.

This upsets me. He doesn't even feel bad when he causes a scene like this. He didn't talk to us the rest of the night. He went to bed without fixing anything between us. This has happened before and we've had numerous talks with him about it and yet he still continues to do this....:(

As far as the rest of the weekend went, Short had a basketball tournament....they came in 6th place! 6th out of 6 teams....I'm so proud of him! He even scored a couple of times! They each got a medal:



Venti wasn't home this weekend and so it was quite. Latte starts her chemo today so I will keep you posted on that. Grande went on a date and I saw this morning that his facebook status said this: Girls have got to be the most confusing and complex thing on earth! Poor Grande!
