i can't skip a day, not yet......

oh the loveliness of back to school shopping........ good thing i've started pulling in some income!  my husband told me today that there's a look to me that's more than the tan i've gotten.......... he's noticed my face looks thinner and i honestly believe i've lost a chin.......... but, i did almost lose my shit today with the kids while school shopping............ ready to add some more products to my regimen......... confianza coming soon and i will see for myself how well it works for me........ ha ha, see what i did there...... it works........... i'm trying, some days harder than others not to fall into the old bad habit of flying off the handle because, seriously 3 kids (4 most weeks) are a lot of work and sometimes they just really don't get it.......  but other days, well they surprise me and work well with me and one another........ no one is perfect, but i'm not sure my inner voice always remembers that......... but tonight i'll close my eyes and rest well knowing that i see this newfound spark of confidence not only running through my veins, but i'm seeing it in my kids........ especially that beautiful little porcelain doll that once rested in my arms......... i can't let her down, she needs the boost just as much as i.......

all 2 or 3 of you....... :)  no, really i have been if i'm going to be totally honest because i have yet to quit smoking, so let's focus on what i am doing........ stressing the fahq out over here........ but that HAS TO STOP NOW!!!  i am doing some good things, talking nicer to myself more frequently but my big one is reaching out to people instead of letting it build inside of me until i burst!!!  let's go with that and get this shit handled........ i'm scolding myself, for good reason....... i started this challenge and i almost gave up, i could turn my back on this whole thing and say, well i failed again or i can brush myself off and rededicate......... let's do that...... are you with me? is there anybody out there?  should that really matter?  who am i doing this for?

let's try this again.......

i avoided writing for a few days, partly because this blog is more self serving than anything else, and i wasn't proud of myself....... i was smoking........ but i refrained from putting myself down about it........ i managed to get ahead on some of my other goals, so it wasn't total failure......... i'm back on the track, shaking myself off and ready to go again......... cause sometimes a hand full of nothing is a real cool hand............. but this no smoking thing is hard........ it truly is....... some people can just quit and be like, i'm cool, while i'm over here clawing at my eyes because i just want the satisfaction of that first puff.......... what's that about even????   that and........ was out of greens....... got my shipment in, i have plenty of it's vital minerals......... i can do this............
