So, the glasses lasted a little over 24 hours. Yes, you read correctly. The glasses are done for. Emily took her glasses off her face (like I told her not to do) and the next thing you know Lare is using them like a chew toy. Ugh!! I might have had a tiny breakdown over this, I might have flown off the handle, I MIGHT have dropped at least 50 F bombs (like the good mom that I am) and then I picked up the phone called in the back up (mom) and gave myself a time out. An hour later and I can calmly tell Emily that she's paying half for the next pair of glasses we get, but she's still grounded from her cell phone and her ipod for an undecided amount of time. Wow, being a mom is some tough stuff, being a single mom is even harder and I have much respect for all of the single mothers out there. I feel like a failure right now...picking myself up by the boot straps and movin' on.
On a much happier note, the gymnastics meet went well. I was on my feet for the day and didn't get to see any trophies handed out to the girls but I did get to watch them compete and, as always, they amaze me. I'll put pictures out tomorrow night.
Heading to bed, daylight savings is kicking my a$$. Thanks for checking in.

p/s. Thanks mom, for coming to my rescue. I can always count on you, no questions asked. I am so thankful to have you, dad and Julie. Thanks for being in my cheering section and picking me up when I fall. I don't know what I'd do without all of you.
p/p/s. Deb, I used an emergency card tonight, thanks I needed that.

Lesa, give yourself a break, pollease!!!! You didn't do anything as a single Mom that a non-single Mom might have done. Had JY been there, you might have had the same melt down. I had plenty just like that with a husband in the next room or out out in garage.
But still, bless your Mom's heart for being there for you.
Hi Lesa, Well wasn't exactly what you had been asking for, but things like this are going to happen and happen again. Do you ever feel like you can't catch a break? Now my take on this is if JY were here, the boys, Lar and JY would be in "big trouble" and E may have gotton off just a little easier. At any rate meltdowns happen to everyone. Please don't be so hard on yourself Lesa and if you get in a meltdown you can't catch your breath.....think: what would my JY do? It could help!
Well I'm loving you all through this Lesa and I am so thankful for your Mom and Dad so close to help you. I am glad an emergency card could help. That's what they are for....emergencies.
I love you bunches.
Deb
