dalthauserSomehow I've managed to gain 12 pounds over the last couple of months.
It probably has something to do with me eating whatever I want whenever and not logging my food into my food journal.
I'm back to sparkpeople.com - my lifestyle babysitter.
I've signed up for lots of overtime this next week, and I'll sign up for everything I can until they stop offering it which will be in February probably. I want to get that tree trimming job paid off and start getting back to a positive savings account balance.
My daughter says she's seriously thinking of moving back home this spring.
I miss her company so much, but I do have some mixed feelings about this.
Mostly because it's another "mouth to feed" as she is not self-sufficient yet.
All alone I can manage, but having another to provide for makes things difficult.
When she lived with me I had two jobs - I really don't want to go back to that.
Her living here will mean aquiring another vehicle and insuring it for starters. I will have the truck paid off in July, so I can give her that and buy another vehicle for myself. I'd hate to continue having a vehicle payment - but whatever it takes I guess.
I feel guilty for feeling this way. I need to have more of a "can do" attitude about this.
I am eating awesomely fresh Collards out of my garden now. Now that the weather is chilly the winter stuff is starting to take off. I've picked a few spinach leaves, but they aren't really ready. I am enjoying all the various baby veggies I've thinned from the rows. I'm very grateful for the garden. I couldn't afford to buy this stuff in the grocery store.

She really hasn't shown alot of initiative since she's been with my parents in Hawaii. I sent her to Phlebotomy school and after she finished she decided she doesn't want to do it.... sheesh. There's a fine line between being a doormat and a hard-ass.... hope I can walk it.
