[QUOTE="Fran, post: 165652, member: 3"] Good morning all. I wrote a long good morning yesterday but my computer went down and I lost it. Wiped out, glad to hear school is out and you will have a little more flexibility in your schedule. KateM congratulations on difficult child finishing school. It was a high point in my family's life. Savor the moment. LDM, good for you for joining another gym. I did step at the local Y. Believe me there were many more beautiful, young women in my class. I was the oldest many days. I went with old t shirts and shorts and no make up. I didn't care. I focused on my goal which was to get in shape. I ignored all the normal anxieties of not fitting in and kept my focus. Eventually you realize no one really cares and we sabotage ourselves. There were still more beautifully made up and dressed women when I left but I was fit and trim which meant I had achieved my goal. No one cared one bit who I was but they did notice how trim I was getting. Women get so caught up in misplaced priorities that men don't. Who cares what you look like to work out? Keep going. You are a warrior. My mom is settling in and getting used to being here. She is more frail than one would expect but she is hanging in there. I try to bite down my frustration of her not getting hearing aids or using a wheel chair but her vanity is a strong motivator to stay home and be disabled. She should be here until after the 4th of July. I am trying hard to not lose my patience. My tongue is almost bit in two with trying to not speak up. difficult child is doing pretty well. He is going to stay a few more months in NJ then we will re evaluate his needs. easy child is happy and working way too much. He says it's not work for him. He loves what he does.
