Still plugging along!

Good morning all. Things are going OK on the CR front. Hope each of you are equally as fortunate!!

On the other hand, parenthood is seriously sucking right now. My soon-to-be 20-yr old son is in jail for contempt of court. I had to obtain a restraining order against him in November. The court also ordered him to take anger mgmt classes and bring his certificate of completion to the court. Well, he didn't do it and now he's in the can. Go figure.....Cause/effect in it's purest form. Anyway, my son can't call me directly so he's sending messages via friends requesting I drop off clean socks and underwear for him. If I take him underwear will I be violating my tough-love pledge? My initial thought was "Let the people he's chosen as his buddies take him some panties." I think I'm going to stick by my guns....maybe....COMMENTS PLEASE!!

After finding out about my son's escapade, I then found out ny soon-to-be-16 yr old daughter --instead of being with her friends--has been seeing a 24-26 y/o male. We had a huge blow-up last night and she's still in bed crying. After all, "I really love him mom!!" Such drama. I'm debating on reporting him to the police and hoping it scares the shit out of him. Of course, I live in KY and 16 is prime marryin' age in these parts...I should've been more aware if what was going on in her life.,...Parenting has been such a struggle. I REALLY thought I was teaching them the right things: go to school, work hard, be kind to others, don't lie or steal, respect yourself, guard your health, don't use drugs. ANY insight is appreciated..

Of course, on the good side, all of the stress makes it easy for me to NOT eat. When I'm stressed I have zero appetite. Guess every cloud has a silver lining! I have also found some great references. Here's a link to Skinny Bitches data site http://crskinnydata.blogspot.com/ I'm SO grateful she is sharing this info and her meals/snacks look great!! I know she swamped with work and family, but still takes time to share her success with us!! Thanks!! Also, I'm considering trying konjac rice, jello and pudding recipes. The only sweetener I've used so far is stevia. Would love to hear from others who have used other sweeteners, konjac and other CR friendly products. Warren has shared a ton of info with me and I will post it soon. Much love and be well! ~S~
