140 this morning! I didn't take the time to weigh in yesterday on my usual weigh in day. I think I am actually burning a lot of calories at work. I stand the whole time and make many trips back and forth from the front to the back teller line in a hurry for hours. That plus eating only the food I bring prob has helped me lose. Wed. is my last official day there and then we go camping for the last half of next week. They asked me to help at work the following week if I could, so I will also be working 2 more days past my notice as I know they will be short staffed.

I went shopping for some shorts last night at Kohls. For the first time in a long time, I brought only size 8's into the dressing room which I was a little nervous about. I usually bring 8's and 10's just in case. ALL of them from different brands fit easily! So, I think I can say I officially met my goal of getting back to a size 8! So I bought a pair of tan bermuda shorts and a couple of tops. (Great sale right now plus Kohl's cash.)The only down side was I spent about 2 hours there, finally enjoying some time to myself to just look around, and then I had to get groceries after that which I sped through. My husband then got an attitude with me for being so selfish to shop for 2 hours there as I got home at 10:15 and he stayed up b/c he knew I would want help unloading groceries. I am pretty annoyed by this as I always feel I am having to rush everywhere and am handling most all of my regular jobs at home plus working so I finally enjoy 2 hours clothes shopping by myself and I get grief for it! Can anyone relate? Oh well, there are worse things and he and I will get over it. I just don't think it was too fair to be labeled as selfish over that when I have had no time to myself at all lately.

We are heading to the beach today. It's our first fun activity of the summer. It's Indiana Dunes which is a national lakeshore along Lake Michigan. I love the beach. It's like a mini vacation when you are there, but not too far from home. It's my daughter Kara's 6th birthday tomorrow and I have to work in the morning, so I thought it would be nice to take the kids to play.

Hope you all have a great weekend. We will have some birthday celebrating with cake, etc so I hope to not do too much damage this weekend!

Congrats on the new low weight and being firmly planted in size 8 land! Good job! Don't let hubby's reaction make you feel you didn't deserve to enjoy 2 hours to yourself. I am sure there are times he goes out after work and thinks nothing of it. Remind him of that. All of this will be moot in a week or so when you are no longer working but that doesn't mean he can't "get the point". Have fun at the beach and Happy Birthday to your daughter!

I will comment more on the husband front, when I jave more time to write, but I have to ask, are we married to the same guy? My husband is just as bad if not worse, & I have been struggling w/ that myself. As if we don't put enough guilt on ourselves already!! Hang in there, & I always keep in mind that I am a better wife & mother if I do get a little time to myself. This is a tough subject, as most of my friends have husbands who don't mind, but I feel like I can't talk about this w/ them b/c it makes my husband sound like a real jerk, when he really isn't besides this. He's great with the kids & when I have to work he does a great job taking care of them & plays w/ them, he just doesn't see that I need to have "me" time. Look at this, I am going on & on on YOUR journal..Sorry I guess it hit a nerve. I think we just hang in, they get over it, & like everything with the kids, this stage will change. Hugs, Heather

We're actually in Northwest Indiana- close to Chicago. No Cali here, although that would be nice!! We're close to Lake Michigan here, so nice to get to the beach when we can. Thanks for your well wishes!
