Playin' Mom For The Week

So I am at my parent's house for the week watching some of the sibs while good old M and D party it up in Jamaica. My grandparents (think Everybody Loves Raymond) live right down the street and make life... interesting. My bro's 16 and appropriately depressed. My Mom's note said that he "can't play video games, watch TV, go out with friends or lock his door". Yikes. I'll totally enforce that... not. I'm afraid to ask what he did. My sister's 12 and pretty cool as they go. So far no major upsets. We've also got 3 dogs, an old lab and 2 little beagles. The puppies woke me up with a HUGE mess, the gory details of which I'll spare you, suffice it to say I am convinced I don't want my own pet.

Usually as soon as I hit the 'rents house, Ed goes out of control. This time though, not so far. I had a pretty weird strategy... I did some "preemptive" bingeing. See, usually when I first get here I am starving because I try and use the drive as a good long period not to eat. Then I am bombarded with deliciousness, and start bingeing and don't quit until I leave. Since I have to be here a whole WEEK, however, I knew that couldn't happen, I would go nuts. So, before I left and while I was packing, I freakin' stuffed myself. I still didn't really feel like eating when I got here, but I had a normal sized dinner and late night snack. I also was REALLY tired from Halloween the night before (I went as Sarah Palin, which I know is unorginal, but I've got the voice down and I must say I was hilarious), so I hit the sack mega early (8pm?).I woke up today and felt pretty good, I ate healthfully all day and worked out and bought healthy food, and I'm totally excited to use this week to be healthy and productive and rejuve before I go back to school to rock out the next couple weeks before Thanksgiving.

In other news, I am in the process of finding a new shrink cause my old one hit on me. Awesome. Details to come, I assure you.

Oh, and J is gonna come up state and visit me! Yay!

OMG! Your therapist mention gave me flashbacks, lol. There was a point back in the day where my girlfriend and I were both seeing the same therapist (yea, bad idea - I don't think they do that any more). Anyway, she actually made a sexual advance towards me while my girlfriend was out in the waiting room! Had I known that my girlfriend was cheating on me left & right, I would have accepted, lol.

Your therapist mention reminded me of how I WANTED to hit on my therapist, but chose not to. She was married. I would tell friends that I was thinking of doing it, and they would tell me to get a male therapist. I have to admit, if she hadn't been married I definitely would have done it...

Haha, wow I had no idea how common this was... a little fucked up. Haha, hindsight is 20/20 I guess mr. c :)

Kevin, I'm guessing that was a wise choice : P Thats what I have to do now they say, track down a female therapist.

It's sort of lose/lose though I feel, because there are a lot of things I would have a hard time saying out loud to a woman just cause I feel like it might be socially unacceptable.

Oh well, guess I have to get off my high horse.

Thanks guys : )

Hmmm.... that doesn´t sound good about your shrink! Well done on your healthy eating day, woo yeah! I know what you mean about journeys and driving - I do exactly the same, well done on resisting the temptation!
