It is a M&M Day

I love peanut m&ms! They are my favorite. I have been trying not to eat them often because they make my hips bigger. Yesterday, I found a Wal-mart bag with 3 small bags of m&ms in it. They were the $1 size packages. I was able to resist the m&ms yesterday - no problem. I put them away for safe keeping.

Today, was an m&m day like no other. Blake ran away not once, not twice but FIVE times! One run away was jumping out of the van as I was backing up. The last run away was into the neighbor's house. He never knocks, he just lets himself in. I guess I should be grateful that he wasn't naked on any of his runaways today.

I was able to resist the m&ms until the 5th time. I put Blake in his room for timeout. He looked right into my eyes (which is rare) and smiled from ear to ear. He was pretty proud of himself. I had to put him timeout so I wouldn't hurt him. Then I marched directly to my hiding spot. As I type, I am indulging in my peanut m&ms and savoring every bite.

Now, I know I am an emotional eater. I also know I am going to have to subtract two points from my total healthy living challenge that I have been working on, yet none of that matters right now. I have to keep my sanity. Pure heaven would be a bubble bath and eating the peanut m&ms but the dang bubble baths tend to give me urinary track infections. (There are very few things worse than an urinary track infection.) So, I will console myself with my peanut m&ms.

God please give me the strength and patience to deal with this severley autistic son of mine.
