Right now i am dealing with a lot emotionally and physically because of stress, because of this I have let my eating get out of hand(long silvers and papa johns today). I am still holding on but I am at the end of my rope. If any of my blogging buddies read this please just send a prayer up to the big man because I am so stressed and overwhelmed.
Going to take a small break from blogging but I will be back soon and will still be reading.

What a day
Today was very busy. i DID 7 CLIENT INTERVIEWS IN 3 hours, then documented it all. This friday I am on call from 4pm until 8 am saturday, however 4 minutes after 4 I got 3 major call outs and just spent 3 hours in the hot sun getting no where fast with the client or the police. I literally just finished dinner about 5 minutes. I was not very hungry tonight but i THINK IT IS DUE TO MY DAY AND how tired i am so no protein. Hopefully won't mess me uo too bad.

Working Moms make thier kids fat
http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/02/04/children.bmi.moms/index.html?hpt=C2
So the link above is an article on CNN about a study that was done using 900 kids whose mothers work. When I read this article I was pissed. The title alone makes me mad. Now a days women have to work but how is it only the woman's problem. What about the men, why are no studies done about men who work and the correlation between this and that. I am over so society beating down who have to work
Another thing that upset me was saying that because moms work we don't provide good meals for our children. I Cook 5 nights a week, hubby does one and usually a treat to eat out. However if there has been a night where I had a rough day at work, yes then I will swing thru a drive thru. However my kids get healthy meals and they drink alot of milk. I hate that working mothers get such a bad stereotype.
One commenter on the article wrote this:
Ideally one parent should stay home to be there for the kids. Unfortunately, divorces may force many moms to work. If not divorce, then insufficient income by both parents, or greed, expensive lifestyle, lackadaisical attitude towards kids, self-centered and selfish personalities...any of these can contribute to kids' health being ignored.
The sad thing about this comment though is that so many people think that working mothers are selfish. Yes I have a Bachelors in Social Work, Yes I am in the process of going to Grad School, yes I work 40 hours a week, However I have children who need thing (insurance, food, clothing, and shelter) and I refuse to live off the system. I am neither self centered or have selfish personality, as I rarely do anything for myself(I have the same pair of sneakers from 5 years ago). I work to provide for my kids so others don't have to.
Working mothers sometimes have a harder job than a SAHM- we have to balance work, kids and also our own guilt for working.
I know that I am a better mother because I work.Yes I did the SAHM and hope to do it again if we ever have another child. However I would never thrown stones at someone without knowing the whole situation.
Ok I am getting off my soap box.

Snow Dayssssss
So here in wonderful Dallas we have been dealing with major weather conditions. On Early Tuesday morning we received rain, sleet, snow and Ice. Great Combination. So on Tuesday school was closed and I worked from home. On Wednesday school was again canceled due to the bad roads and again I worked from home. Did I mention the State of Texas was closed however my job requires response in 24 hours so I was one of a few people who has to work from home. Yesterday school was closed but the state opened at 1pm. However I worked from home since the roads were awful. Then last night about midnight the snow started and when we were only suppose to get a dusting we have now received 6 inches and our suppose to get another 2 before the end of the day. Yes I am working again at home because the roads are awful and school is closed.
Now I am from Florida and this weather is not for me. I can handle it for maybe a day but I am at the point I am going crazy. LOL. I have not been out of my home since Monday, I just finally put on clothes and not PJ's and my children are driving me nuts. While there are days I miss being a stay at home mom there are days like the last few that have made me thankful to work.
Hopefully by Monday the kids will be at school and I will be at work.
In other news my weight loss is going well.. I have been able to work out the last few days super early and then get to enjoy my family time. As for My diet, I am watching what I eat. I am trying not to go over 1200 calories. However tonight is family night so we are having pizza. Going to have to workout harder to enjoy it.
Hope ya'll are having a good day and if you live in a state with snow, stay warm.
