Pretty decent day...

Overall, it's been good. I drank all my water, I didn't forget any kids anywhere *LOL*, I worked on a couple of pictures, did a whole lot of counting with Cub3, cleaned the livingroom early this morning, (can't tell now, but that's beside the point), and nooooooo spending!!! YAY!!! I'm really good at this!!! haha I honestly don't know how much longer I can go. There is a couple of books I want and I can't help but peek at more camera stuff, I'm not doing anything about it though, so that's a good thing.

Cub2 has cheerleading practice every single day this week, in preparation for the competition. We'll be leaving Friday afternoon to go stay overnight at a nearby hotel, it ought to be fun. Hey though, I was just thinking... Non-spending spree will have to be on hold for one thing~ it's my mom's birthday tomorrow (thursday)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I know she doesn't read but hey it's in print now :oP I have no clue what to get her though, I've honestly been thinking on this for about a month and still I have nothing. She buys everything before it becomes a need or even a want. Of course that makes perfect sense now where I got that. *blush* I'll have to figure something out, maybe a big fruit basket.

We signed up for a 12 week challenge at Curves. I don't know how fair that is, I only work out there maybe once a week, I use the other gym almost every day ~ oh well it's still the same bod, so that should count. One cool thing though, my mom was voted by curves employees as 1 of the 4 women of the year at curves. They gave her an 18 inch statue?? I don't know, I haven't seen it yet, but it's still kinda cool. Go mom!!! :o)

I had an interesting thought though. I was picking up Cub1 from basketball, I was talking with the coach. Let me start off by saying, the coach has a really strange sense of humor and can come off as rude at times, but he's harmless. Anyhow, we were talking and one of the girls from the team came up and muttered something and he had a rude comeback anyway, something about her natural beauty. The girl just giggled and went back to playing. He then looks at me and tells me what the girl had told him earlier. This girl was complaining about how the rest of the team doesn't like her, and she blames it on the fact she has natural beauty. The coach just absolutely lost it when she said it, he assumed she was joking. Of course he thought it was a really good joke until he saw she was serious. He said he stopped laughing and tried to play it off, unsuccessfully I'm sure. I just kind of stared at him then looked at the girl. I then looked back at the coach and said, "you know what that is don't you???" He stopped joking and says, "no, why???" I then proceeded to tell him that's all stems from her mom. LOL He thought I was joking. So I explained, when a girl comes home complaining about not being accepted one of the reasonings moms come up with is, "it's just because you're so pretty" or other such compliments turn reasoning. He kinda laughed and said yeah I guess huh. Then mumbled something about her "actually" believing it being weird. LOL Now seriously I don't know if that's what happened but it sure made sense to me ROFL I must admit it kind of cracks me up she would openly announce that at practice.

So that was my thought for the day. Influencing children can be easy when you talk with them, what a novel concept~ *wink*

Off to go exercise!
