No Part Two

No part 2. Just cause. I can only write if I am in thought of it and right now and lately, part 2 hasnt inspired me.

But on the home front I have been biz-zy. I started that workout P90X. I think it means Power through 90 days of Extreme workouts. Not sure if that's what it means but that is what it feels like. One to one and a half hours a day for 90 consecutive days. I officially cant watch infomercials. I buy. Hook-line-and sinker.

So this deal causes muscle confusion allowing you to work out daily and get drop dead sexy. I'm almost to the 'double take sexy'. This would have been my 3rd week but I went out for tacos one night, Italian the next and Sushi last night. I try to do it after work but when the couch is calling and I dont have to cook, well, the peristalsis muscle use is gonna win and Abs Ripper will be put off until next time.

The mention of this is because It does work. I had been averaging 4 days a week P90X and I am seeing results in 3 weeks. I actually saw them in 2. I am not eating any better just more consciously. I decided I would rather forge through an hour a day then restrict my diet. Take cheese away and I get down right mean. I'm fighting 42 in the physical sense because I want to keep the bikini body I was blessed with. Now I just have to work harder.

My lovely 14 year old, read 25, daughter has been waking up in the morning about 15 minutes earlier everyday. After about a week of it, I was an my way to work and called her to find out why she is getting up at that time. She said to me in all seriousness, " It takes me a long time to do my eyelashes so I need the extra time". Regardless of the unimportance of this, I, for some reason thought this was a valid and good reason. I support flirty eyelashes.

My 10 year old.... well, I suspect she might be the one I have to watch out for. She has a cell phone. We dont have a house phone and whether or not she should, she does. I had to take it away from her for excessive use to a boy. WTF? I had to shut it down. He is in her class, jealous, doesnt like her friends, playing these little mind games with her. Oh no. This isnt going to be what she thinks 'Love' is. She also had a scuffle with another girl, an ex BFF and they had not been getting along. The other girl got pissed at her during PE and went after her fists flying. The coach stopped her. I get a call from the office and I knew exactly what happened. This girl got suspended for 3 days! I was told that they had been making faces at each other.

The thing about girls is that their bff is like their first love. The union is tight and the bond is true. When they have a bff that is a shitty friend they tend to believe that that is how friends and later, boyfriends treat you. This same girl was hitting and kicking my kid leaving visible marks on her. Not acceptable. When I went for the teacher conference, the subject came up. The teacher assured me that Liv is in no way push over but that she is also not aggressive. My kid speaks her mind but for some reason she likes the wild kids that have aggressive issues. Great.

I now have a tighter grip on the situation as well as eliminating the problem. No more. She still likes the boy, but it is kinda a friendship. No more all night phone and limited Myspace use.

Which leads me to my boyfriend. Not the dad, but I am so thankful to have his support. As much as me and their dad dont have issues, I guess in some ways I get pissed at him. He lives in another country and rarely calls. When I have to be the bad guy,aka: Parent the kids 24/7, all I can think is what the fuck is wrong with people that dont actually parent their own children. How can they do that to them? Just not talk to or see them? He's a good dad but he doesnt really have to be anything else. He lives in Costa Rica with his 19 year old chica. He sends money and when he sees them, well he is a god. shopping unintterrupted time with them.... Me, I get to be the one that says no, sets boundries and tells them too bad. I also get to be the one to watch them succeed, learn and laugh and become the young beauties they are. Inside and out.
