Body Mass Index.  I really didn't want to "go there" but I thought I would calculate it anyhoo knowing I am obese.  To those of you out there who have less than 100 lbs. to lose, I applaud you.  My BMI is 43.3.  Sometimes that can be so discouraging to see besides weighing on the scales.

My friend Crystal, whom I met through our sons' school, is a better blogger than I and was able to get 4 months of free Nutrisystem foods just for blogging which I think is cool.  I've been on Nutrisystem for years and my weight goes up and down a lot.  My goal right now is to eat food from all the shipments that I neglected  and make more room in my already crowded small house. 

I'm slowly doing better with my back and neck vertebrae.  I can't push myself too hard but I do need to hit the gym more often.  We're supposed to get a cold front with maybe ice and snow on Tuesday and if that's the case, I'll be saying hello to my Wii Fit.  I have heard a lot of good things about Zumba and Wii's Dance games.  I was a barfly in my early twenties and if giggling it gets the weight off, that will be fun!

This past week my son told another mother at school to stop relying on us for help but to take care of her own family's needs.  Now I see he eats up the conversations I have with my husband like a sponge.  I'm no longer friends with the lady as I'm one of those who believes you don't tell others that God says you have to do this and that when to be honest the other person just wants to use your finances, favors, etc. to benefit herself.  At times I wish I didn't care what others think about me but I hear the rumors and realize I must be someone really special if they have no one better to talk about or put their heart into (like reading the bible) and nitpick my life to death.  I'm a hands on mom with a cluttered house and know I'm not the only woman out there who struggles with keeping a clean, organized house.

My son is still struggling with eyelash pulling and hair pulling.  There is an Aspergers Support group that is to meet this coming Wednesday night providing we don't have bad weather (predicting snow and ice).   I would love to hook up with other parents to get a better understand of why my son behaves the way he does.  My little guy has had issues since birth and tends to isolate himself from others unless they share common interests and even then over time he will get bored with them and do his own thing on a play date.

I am hoping this week is a better one than last week.  I had the blahs something awful.
