Curves and a call from B

So I joined Curves about a month ago and I LOVE it. I feel so good when I leave there, which to me is just weird. I am hot, sweaty, tired and sore, yet so energised that I feel really good about myself. So even if I dont loose any weight, at least I feel good.

However I think I have lost weight. I went out and bought a pair of capris, in a size smaller than what I wore 3 months ago, and they are big on me. YAY!!!

B called last night, he told us that while he is really mad at me and S for sending him to the boarding school, he isnt mad at his dad. Logically I understand why he is mad at me and not his dad. He figured that his dad would never pay for it, so therefor it would never happen. S and I are paying for it, and have made it happen. So logicaly I do understand. It does hurt me a little that I am always the "bad" guy in these situations. I know that S and I have more money to get resorces like this for B, but why does it always have to be my fault? Why does his dad get away with all the stuff smelling like a rose and I am the bad guy. There are so many times that I want to throw in that "I" was the one who was there from birth until age 7, who wiped his tears, who worked to get him the things that he needs, and now S is there doing all that. We make memories for him, even if it is just going to a movie, or playing b-ball in the park. What does his dad do? So I explained to Brett that I do understand him being mad at me, but that he needs to understand that if his dad didnt agree to him going it never would have happened. He seemed to understand.

He was also mad that we didnt tell him he was going to the school until the day before we took him up there. I explained to him that with the knowledge of how he has acted in the past we made the desision based on that. We had to do things for not just ours and the little kids safty, but for his as well.

I do hope that one day he will get over his anger at us for sending him to the school. I know that he understands that its a good thing for him, (he told me so) so maybe that will help him with the anger. I hope so, caues I really love him and I know deep in my heart that he is a great kid and will go far in life, if he chooses to work at it.

Swim lessons and brusies

Wow, what a week we have been haveing.

D is in his second week of swim lessons and doing great. Today he actually put his hand on top of his head and pushed himself down under water. Funny yes, AWSOME even more so. I am so glad that he isnt scared of the pool anymore. We signed him up for the next session today as well. I am going to hold off on the mommy/baby classes as R just doesnt seem to be into the water as much this week. Today she wouldnt let go of her baby long enough to go in the water.

Here he is floating in the water.

R and her nose. She threw a fit for daddy while I was off at Curves working out. I know that we should do what the Triage nurse said and ignor that behavior, (getting on her hands and knees and smacking her face into the floor when she doesnt get what she wants.) But dang I was MAD at S. I know that he was trying to be a good dad and not give in to her, but just picking her up for 2 minutes would not have killed him. She would have either fell asleep on his shoulder, or got down and played. As it turned out she was so upset with him that she wouldnt go to him for a few hours after that. I guess that if she hadnt had the marks on her nose and bruise on her forhead I probly wouldnt have gotten upset. Yes I am over reacting. LOL

Oh yeah, last night the lady that cuts our hair came over to give us all haircuts. Well she finished cutting D's hair and he got out of the chair, she looked at R and asked her if she was going to get her hair cut, normally R is not to thrilled with people she doesnt see every day, well she shook her head yes and climbed up into the chair and let our friend cut her hair. I was SOOO shocked.

Isnt she cute? Even with a red nose.
