To the nicotine. I haven't given up on quitting, but I'm done with ratting myself out. I have cut down to 3-5 cigarettes/day. I'm still wearing the patch and I will be done with this....It's just taking longer than I thought it would. I'm not one to quit something that I've started, so this will be one more thing I accomplish, I've just got to give it a little more time....
On another note, our basketball season is over. Emily's team FINALLY brought home a victory (or 2) and Allyson's team kicked all sorts of A most of the season. I had to make the tough decision of cancelling our end of season tourney, the JY Classic, due to lack of entries. I did not make this decision lightly....it just couldn't be helped. I know J is looking down shaking his head at me saying "the show must go on, L" but I just couldn't make it make sense. I know a lot of people are disappointed in my decision, but it really just didn't make sense..I said that already, huh?? I am struggling with my decision, but what's done is done and I hope people will understand, if they don't, they can take over the league and do it better next year....
Up next in the Young house?? Gymnastics. The girls are competing in only 2 meets this year and after the last meet, March 28th, they are taking a much needed break from this sport. I've noticed this year that neither E or A has had their hearts in it. You need to have heart in this sport. I realized a couple of months ago that they really haven't had a break since the 2007 season started...mostly because they didn't want to take a break, but this year they've been asking for it. So, that's what we're doing, gonna take a break from the sport I thought they loved...maybe stepping away will make them realize how much they still love it?? I don't know.
Allyson signed up for Softball this year, the first time she's showed interest since her dreaded T-Ball days of playing in the dirt on the field and making her dad angry for doing it :) I see this as a positive thing for Allyson, her spreading her wings, so to speak, doing something her sister isn't doing and becoming her own shining star. This is a good thing. So, that's our spring and summer wrapped up.
Other stressers in the Young house include, but are not limited to the following: Getting my dining room in to eat-in (and PartyLite show) order, getting a new dining room table so we can actually EAT in, the 6th grade Science fair that Emily is involved in and needs help with (we need an overhead projector), and me having a cyst removed that the Dr has assured me isn't anything I should be worried about but we're sending it to Pathology just in case (yikes). I need a vacation, ASAP!!
What's to come after that?? No idea, but it won't be boring, of this I'm sure.
Thanks for checking in :)

Me too. I was a slave too, for many, many years. You will do it; you will conquer. I am way sure of it. Keep at it, Missy. One day at a time.
Lesa , I can not relate to quiting cigs but we have cut out adding salt to anything due to our health and WOW let me tell you how hard that is . Uncle Marty never was much of a salter but I grew up salting when cooking AND at the table . NOW no extra salt only what is in food and have to cut out the REALLY salty stuff-----Son in that way I can relate and although I do NOT use it the salt shaker is still sitting there.I refuse to get rid of it someone might need it . I think I need to invent salt patches---LOL AS Nance said above you will conquer it and I will too but man potatoes and roast beef are NOT the same. Hang in there----Love Aunt Deb
