Well, for some bizarre reason, we can't seem to get out of our funk. Helene would have promised me anything this morning if I had just told her that she could stay home from school. She isn't sick, just congested, but boy is she a sleepy-head in the morning. That girl is so like her mother that it is absolutely scarry. On the weekends, everybody is up and on their way by 9:00, at the latest, but Helene and I, we can sleep until 11 if we are left undisturbed.
We still manage to get to the pool in the evening, we do our laps and lounge in the hot tub and sauna, but that hasn't seemed to give us more energy. Both Jean-Jacques and I are walking around talking about taking vitamins, but we don't seem to be benefiting from the adage that the more you exercise, the more energy you have. Why not?
I got over my little pissing party, the venting on my last posting. My husband and I talked and talked and he realizes that sometimes he needs to consult before making a decision that effects both of us, even if that decision is about his work. As for me, well, I realize just how bitchy I sound when I whine and complain. My life is only screwed up in the areas that I allow it to be, I have control over most of what goes on, and despite being grossly overweight (also directly attributable to me!) I am in fairly decent health, as is my family. So I really need to get over it, whatever the IT happens to be today.
We are both, amazingly enough, in town for most of this week. JJ has a wine dinner in Battle Creek on Friday. Who ever heard of such a thing, a wine dinner on Good Friday, but such is life. The kids and I just might go with him so that we can try and visit the Kellogs museum, if it is open on Holy Saturday!
Next week, I am in Montreal on Monday night, returning Tuesday evening and then JJ is probably going up north for a tasting at Silver Tree, another golden opportunity for the kids and I to go with him, but I am not sure that there would be much for us to do this time of year in Traverse City, so we'll just have to wait and see.
I am going to be 40 in a few weeks and although I am comfortable with my age, my body has been bothering me more and more. I just so wish that I could have a normal figure because I truly don't believe that I am such an obese eater, so why is my body size so out of proportion? I do so wish that there was a magic pill that I could take and that would give me the strength I need to get down to an acceptable size. I pray a lot about it. Hopefully, Charlotte and I will get a lot out of our Weight Watchers meetings and that will set me on a good path, it sure has done amazing things for Suzie.
God Bless y'all.

I completely agree with you about your eating habits. It totally fits my theory about body shape. You are not only physically active but you eat quite normally. I'm sorry it is such a struggle for you honey. I suppose it won't help that I think you look lovely just the way you are, and I'm sure JJ does as well. (Hey and I'm guessing you can still hold the attention of the general male population as well.) love you MB
You know Charlotte and I have been emailing this past week. I wonder about the psychology behind her lies. (Like I have any insight.) You sound like you need a vacation from everything! When you travel for work does it feel like you get some time for yourself? I wish I could be a better support for you. This parenting thing is not easy but our kids are going to turn out more than fine. We'll make it! More Love MB
Ah, ma pote, I completely agree about the weight thing. It has been a struggle all my life too as well as my sweet daughter, Robbie. Good luck at WW. I love their philosophy. When do you and Charlotte go? I should return also. Gros Bisous, SAM P.S. Maybe I'll sweat aome off in Port-au-Prince this coming week! Gee, I hear it is going to go up to 46 on Easter Sunday here!! Had fun at lunch avec ta maman today. Comme toujours. Elle est rigolo!
