going to the liquor store at 11:30 am , How do you make a rainbow?

I've had a fairly interesting week so far, and I thought I might share a bit with you.

On Monday my hubby and I started our new diet/exercise plan together. This is a big step because my hubby has gotten quite a bit....lazy. It's not as bad as it sounds but since he was diagnosed with Crohn's last year he has gained a lot of weight with steroids and veggies don't agree with him so he's been starching it up and so on. The worst part was I was pretty sure that he gave up. I am fat have always been fat and most likely will always be fat. But I am constantly making healthy efforts, exercising and dieting. If I "gave up" I would quickly be 350 lbs or more, to see him kinda give up frightened me. Not because of the weight, I really don't care about that. Because of the health factors, and if you give up on yourself, what's next?

For a few weeks now, I've made an effort to dress nice,and do my hair and make-up everyday. This is not the usual me, but I'm hoping it will be because when I think I look better, I feel better and I am more aware of what I am doing to myself (with food and all). On Monday I went shopping (Wal-mart) in a pretty red and white dress and was actually hit on in the store! (It made my day) He lost all interest when his eyes made contact with my wedding ring. Oh well, it was nice to be hit on!

On Tuesday I did a lot of filing in my office and completed a lot of paperwork. While going through my in-box stack I found over $300 in checks I had forgotten about. Score! You know that feeling when you find $20 bucks in your jeans, well this was 10x better! Next I went out to run some errands and went by the liquor store. I was feeling kinda bad for going to the liquor store at 11:30 am (I wasn't drinking, just getting a beverage for that night)then, I saw that the sports bar down the street was packed and I didn't feel so bad anymore! Tuesday night we took the kids to their dance class. On the way home the little one had a case of diarrhea of the mouth and we couldn't get her to shush! Questions she asked in a 5 min time frame-
1.) What is diarrhea?
2.) Can you still shave under your arms if there's no hair?
3.) How do you make a rainbow?
So even though I had a headache, I couldn't help but smile and laugh at her!

On Wednesday I ran some more errands and had lunch with my hubby. On the way home we listened to Outkast and danced around in the car. Of the songs we listened to were "Where are my panties?" which is not really a song and "Hey Ya" which is still stuck in my head! That night I went to work in a great mood. I am only there to be around my staff more to break the ice between them and to teach them a little more. It was really weird because I was in a great, joking and playing kind of mood and they really didn't want me there. They hate me. (I keep thinking of that FRIENDS episode when Chandler realizes he can't be friends with his staff because he's the boss.) I'm gonna keep trying!

And today I had lunch with my ex-husband. It it SO nice to see him smiling again. Pretty much all of the crap between us is over and we both came out with a little better understanding of the other. He's still here, downstairs watching TV with our little girl. They look so happy cuddled up together! We'll keep at it, and it will get better and better!

That's all so far this week! I have a lot more planned. I'll let you know how it goes!
