before she insisted on stopping for food. It seems that she failed to eat a proper dinner & had to have food so she could take her medicine. So naturally we were supposed to stop at McDonald's for her to get a meal... because yeah that's the first place I'd go if I were hungry & needed to take medicine. I refused to go to McDonalds, but agreed to AM PM... not much better; but there are no fries there & you can at least add fresh veggies to your burger.
When we pulled into the "lovely" AM PM parking lot, I insisted on going in by myself, figuring that if she went in she would add to the "meal." I picked up a single cheeseburger for her and loaded it with veggies & mustard. For myself, I did get a corn dog... which was a thousand times better tasting than that nasty hot dog from the other day; not the best choice but surprisingly under 300 calories.
Next stop was the pharmacy for her to pick up her meds before we headed up here. Finally we were on the road, driving toward home. She chows down her cheeseburger in the span of about five minutes - which is being generous - I seriously think she may have inhaled parts of it. Then... OMG... you wouldn't believe what comes next. She starts digging in her bag from the pharmacy and out comes a bag of - you guessed it - Nacho Cheese Doritos. I'm not even kidding. Ding, Ding, Ding... I'm the winner! Husband is gonna have to pay up now; I should have bet him something worthwhile, lol.
That was the adventure home. And now... guess where she is? On my couch... sound asleep. Oh well, at least its quiet & I can blog. :)
Thursday's plan: Put child on bus, breakfast, go to gym, lunch, pick child up from school, take husband to work, take child to therapy, round two of the gym, dinner, laundry... relax or fall face first into bed. Of course all of that is with a smattering of blogging thrown in... because lets face it I need all the moral support I can get at this point. This is gonna be a LONG seven days, but...
Mama Pimp is right - I am IN CONTROL!!!

Don't you love the fact that you KNOW your mother....
lol.
wow. I don't know how you do it, but you're doing a great job. "In control" that's where I wanna be.
well done for being in control, i'd not read the previous post so i was really c0nfused but still giggling away to myself.
i hope the week passes quickly and good luck with the visit xxx
Oh dear... sounds trying. Good luck this week!
You are doing well! You stood up for yourself in that you didn't go to McDonalds and instead chose something healthier. That is HUGE! Not just for making the healthier of the two choices...but standing up for yourself! WAY TO GO!
My thoughts are with you!!!!! Stay strong! You can do it!
I feel for you.... LOL
We are all here for you!
Julie, your mom is quite blessed to have you! You are good to her :) You have a good attitude and with that on board, I think that you guys will have a great week!!
Go head girl...show yourself how far you've come! My dad came for a visit and he didn't bring in a whole lot of "goodies", thank goodness!
