Last night my church friend sent me a late notice text about a meeting the next morning at 10AM (today) so I was kindof peeved since It was short notice but I decided to go. The meeting went fine but I got a little peeved about some other things.

So today I….
– went to church meeting
– cleaned house
– folded laundry

Doesn’t sound like much but that has taken up my day! Now then onto the PEEVES. Yes, I’m different. How? In the way that I raise Katie. It’s not like the average Mom because YES, I don’t let her do certain things that other people usually let their kids do. Most people talk about their kids tearing up their house or tearing up this or that….nope sorry, not in this house. A big peeve lately is lots of people KNOW that I don’t allow Katie to have sweets or candy and yet they still continue to ask me If she can have cookies or candy when they know I’m going to say no. OH NO I’M SUCH A TERRIBLE MOTHER!! I’M SUCH A STRICT MOTHER! It’s my choice! Once she’s a little older I’ll start introducing “treats” but NOT RIGHT NOW. I’m doing it for HER HEALTH! I see kids all the time STUFFING THEIR FACES full of sweets and sugar! NO THANKS, NOT MY KID! YES I AM DIFFERENT. I raise my kid a lot differently because I DO TELL HER NO and she DOES get spankings If need be If she hasn’t stopped doing what I told her not to. It makes it so hard to become friends with other Moms who don’t follow similar ideas in raising because you know… here are these kids getting to eat cookie after cookie and then there’s Katie who isn’t allowed cookies and even when I DO let her have 1 then it’s going to be JUST ONE but then other kids get TEN cookies how is Katie going to feel? Ugh… It’s so hard. I get so frustrated with people. I’m trying to start Katie off on the HEALTHY TRACK and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. I’d like to meet a Mom with the same idea… healthier living for both Mom and child! That would be nice but with this world addicted to sweets, fast food and all things unhealthy It makes it 1,000 times harder for a Mom who is striving so hard to do all things healthy.

You know what though? I’m gonna keep doing it because I used to be overweight. I used to be that person who stuffed her face with lots of cookies and chips. I’ve changed my life and made the switch to healthy living. It’s just the rest of the world that needs convincing. And I’m gonna continue to strive to help Katie start off with a healthy start too. No matter what anyone thinks of me.

Well, Brad might be going running tonight! There’s a guy at work that’s going into the Air Force too and is going to start running so Brad might be tagging along with him tonight. I think that’s great!!! He says he wants to join the military but has been holding himself back. I hope he pushes towards his goals but It’s up to him.
