Day 2 of no facebook is proving to be harder than day one. I cannot believe how much of a habit I had formed checking facebook 20 + times a day. Already today I've walked down my stairs several times to check the computer. Sigh.
On another note...have you ever heard of "The Secret" or the law of attraction? Don't worry, I'm not going all New thought on you. Basically The Secret is that if you if you want something all you need to do is ask, believe, receive. It can be anything from a closer parking space to winning that trip to Rome; you just need to make it known to the universe, feel as though the action is on it's way, and be open to receiving it. Well, I seem to have an opposite law going on in my life. Maybe the law of un-attraction?? Remember last week when I posted this about Ian using the toilet 90% of the time? I was hesitant to say that, to make it known to the universe and I had good reason to be. We have now regressed to about 50%. Why oh why when I think we've finally got a grip on things do they slip away?!?!? Can you see why I almost never write about the great things happening? All kidding aside I am completely frustrated with this change of events as is his teacher at school I'm sure. I sent him in a pull up today. All we can do is plug away right?
Speaking of toilet training, anyone know how long it takes to housebreak a puppy? I thought we had a good handle on that as well but just in the last few days we've had several accidents. Maybe I'm not cut out to be a parent or a dog owner. I mean how many living beings am I allowed to mess up??? Bigger Sigh.
My foot is still really bothering me. I'm really hesitant to go to the Dr. so he can refer me to a podiatrist so that he can send me to physical therapy so that I can do the same exercises I'm all ready doing thanks to the help from a physical therapist in my ward. There is part of me though that wonders if my self diagnosis is correct. I'm anxious to get moving again and to get this weight off. I'm doing ok with just diet but I am much more motivated when I am exercising. I also want to quit drinking diet coke. YIKES! That one is going to be hard. Good thing I'm not doing it right now cause if I quit drinking diet coke and facebook at the same time I'd really be a mess! I have several cans in the garage but once they are gone, I am done. Biggest Sigh. My few pleasures in life will soon be gone. But, I will be a better, stronger, healthier person because of it right? RIGHT????
p.s. Feedback is optional but greatly desired! Not having facebook has made me even more desperate for commentors on my blog so PLEASE, feel free to comment!

3 people not afraid to say something:
Angi I love to read your blog and about your family. I am sure it doesn't seem like it sometimes, but Heavenly Father must think REALLY highly of you to send you one of His specialist children, Ian. There are very few woman that I know that can love and care for a child with a disabilty and it speaks volumes of what an incredible woman you are that you can. It probably doesn't make it easier but I wanted you to know that. I miss you and our chats at "the pig"!
Angi you sweet thing! I am so stinkin sorry about the potty training on both counts! Hang in there. All things painful are more worth it in the end. FB and Diet Coke?? It almost made me have a twitch in my eye for you. Your doing the right thing:)
Hi Angi!
I first must tell you that I am terrible at commenting on blogs. I have like this mental thing where I mean to, and then I read the post and totally forget that the comments I make in my head did not, surprisingly, make it to the blog.
Anyway, first things first. It was great talking with you for a bit last night.
Second: THANK YOU for the salsa. It is DELICIOUS!
Third: Can we talk diet? I actually lost some weight last month for the first time in like....um 8 years? My work has been doing this thing where you have to exercise at least 4 times a week and you have to get 5 servings of fruits and veggies every day. If nothing else, I have realized through the process what a horrific diet I have. Now, the contest ends in like three weeks, and I am afraid (sad but true) that I will go back to my junk-food eating self. So, you mentioned in this post (or maybe the one after it) that you are doing good with your diet. Do you want to do some sort of self-reporting deal with me? I haven't worked out detail in my heaad, but let me know if you are interested.
And I promise in the future, my comments won't take up an entire page.
