No liquid calories last night! YIPPEE! I had trouble falling asleep, but once I went to sleep I stayed asleep. This is major for me! I'm feeling a little better today. I have still been smoke free, though some of my morning reading made me crave so I'm focusing on my coffee :)

I'm studying for my class today at work. I studied some last night but should have studied more. This is going to be a hell of a test this week. I have some regrets for taking 2 classes this semester. I am counting off the weeks that are left! Today I am at the 3 and a 1/2 week mark -- only 12 more weeks after this (I think!). I hate wishing away my life so I'm trying not to look at it this way. Currently I'm most focused on controlling my vices and more game time with the kids. Last night my son and I played chess (he is 8) and he kicked my ass. He is good for getting me unfocused and into conversation. Smart tactic. To win at chess I can't converse, it is becoming a proven fact.

The kids both did well on their report cards. I'm starting to worry because my son is hyper critical of himself if he isn't perfect. He flipped because his spelling test average went from a 97 to a 96%. I don't think I ever even got a 96 on a spelling test. Spell check is my friend, I can't spell for anything. I'm going to have to ponder on this. All my daughter cares about is her gym grade -- I've got to ponder how to motivate her more and him less. How is it that my children can be such opposites??? They are both so interesting. Rather than going over the report cards individually they both like to be there to hear about the other. Talk about closeness. I'm glad they are tight though...
