I am now diagnosed as having diabetes. Although this should alarm me, it is merely a wake up call to lose weight that I have badly needed to lose before. We are going to see if it is diet controlled or if I will need insulin or pills. Neither one scares me, I have never been afraid of needles. Now, at least I understand why I have had the types of cravings I have been having this past year.
I am not sure how long I have had it, but it must be that my blood sugar fluctuates because I can tell when it is up. I will now have to be vigilant about taking care of the body that God entrusted to me. I will exercise by walking for now, and will look into using the school's gym equipment.
Kelli is still drinking a lot, she does not seem to realize what this is doing to her and I, and perhaps she just does not care. Pridefully, she'll say that she does not care if I leave, but I think she will if/ when it happens. I am getting to the end of my tolerance of her situation. She needs AA and counseling to deal with underlying issues. Until she does that, she will continue until she has nothing, or dies. Too bad, because I really really love her.

The simple life escapes me. Who ever came up with that quote had a screw loose. For me the simple life would be simply my kids picking up after themselves, doing their homework accurately, and eating meals at the right times. That never happens, and I look forward to their being on their own because then and only then will they see first hand what it takes to run a household. Right now, I feel like the household runs the parents.
We are ruining our kids. They will grow up without a clue on how to manage home life. They will think dinner means "going out", instead of it meaning family time, and sitting down until everyone is finished. They will grow up thinking parents are supposed to buy their kids cars, and provide computers and internet access whenever they want it. Horse shit! Why have we allowed this? Why have we let our children rule and reign? Are we afraid of their rejection of us if we say "no" to them?
