Good Saturday morning to y ou all!
Linda,,anyone who has children,has conflicts,,and issues sometimes. They come, they distress us,,they blow over and work out and we go on till the next time. Hopefully as the children age, they become less frequent. How do I know this?? 4 kids of my own, and 3 step kids! Just keep on loving the child and things will eventually work out. And as old as we are, its easy to forget! LOL Seriously, glad you and Olivia are working it out.
I LOVE white castles!!!!!

My food today,,,well,,its probably gonna be really good cause I have a lot of fresh green beans to break! Gonna cook a big pot with smoked sausage in it and potatoes..and put the rest in the freezer. Got fresh tomatoes and cucumbers too, so will probably chow down on them too!
Anyway,,heres the plan,,,

B- toast and peanut butter, coffee
S- cheese
L- tuna salad
S-tomatoe
D- green beans with sausage and potatoes.
S-??

Gonna get a walk in today and some step aerobics too...

Have a great weekend everyone!
Blessings
Betsy

 I don't know; my daughter is 34 and we still had a major blowout a week ago.  We are not talking.
It kills me.

Jeane,I am so sorry,I is know your heart is breaking.. Can you tell her you are sorry and to forgive you? Maybe it will start a dialog.
Good luck,I am so sorry for your for your pain.

 Thank you.  We may be in the same boat.  I was so mad at her.  I already apologized for being harsh.  She won't talk to me now.

it does break my heart.  But she is stubborn, willful, and never takes any advice on anything.  She also has a prescription drug problem that she won't admit - even after a DWI (driving under influence of drugs.)  
She comes to me after she has gotten herself in some mess.  This last time I just blew up.

Dearest Jeane,I know your heart is breaking baby. My daughter is 33,and I would have sworn she was not mine at one point these last few weeks.
Jeane,we have to be tough,we can not enable them by backing down to what we know is going on.
I want you to go to your family album and look at pics of her,remember who she is.
As for the stubborness,I realized Olivia had my very own traits...smile.
All you can do is say,"I love you,and I am here when you are ready".
I do not know if your baby has kids,if she does,make sure a family member can peek in on them. I know Olivia would never harm her kids,my concern was her being in such a dark place that they would be emotionally abandoned,this did not happen. I am happy I got the family involved,it was too much for me,and I have always had trouble telling her no.Do you know why I call her baby? It helps me remember who she really is. The driving while high,must stop,I hope you do not have to call the police for this. Let's just hope she stays home.
Now,you go and think of your baby,and know you will get over this hurdle. She may act like she does not hear you,but she does.
Hang tuff.

 I do not know where that stubborness or willfulness came from.  

I am going to give her a couple weeks and call her.   I said harsh things and shouldn't have.

I do have a grandson who is 9.  I no longer have any family in Colorado to look in on her.  It's my daughter's ex-husband, who is worthless, and my daughter.  I just hope and pray both my daugher and grandson are ok.    I was so excited this May when she finally graduated from college.  But she has done nothing since graduation and I worry about her.  I don't like what I fear she is doing.  But she's right.  She is an adult now and she can f** up her life all by herself.

Betsy! Kudos on the veggies,they burn the fat,I must eat plenty today,I have a cabbage I am going to stir fry,with a diced chicken breast and onions.
Can anyone break our hearts like our babies...I think not. I am happy we are talking and she visited last night.
To be honest,my heart is still broken and I am very depressed.
Be well sweet sister.

 We have our own lives - and we have to remember we can't change our daughters.  Easier said than done, I know.
Thank you for your kind words, and I wish you well too.

Karen,you are doing fine. I thought exercising 3 times a week is the same everyday,or is that a myth?
