It’s one of those days! Running from Ken thing to the next, we had a banquet, practice and dinner with family.

I gave in and had punch and cookies. Ok I had 4 cookies. Shared with my youngest but logged the punch and all 4 cookies as eaten. I’m seriously considering a snack later. I had planned to be well above where I can now. I’ve had some cravings and I think I may give into one as long as it adjusts my macros better (I’m high on fat and low on carbs) and as long as I feel that I can stop at one thing and not have a sugarfest.

A family member cornered my oldest about activities again. Hugs too. She dislikes hugs from anyone but her sisters and parents. It creeps her out (I even give her quick light hugs because they don’t bother her as much). This person said ‘I know you don’t like hugs so I’m giving you a side hug’ laughed then gave her a full on bear hug. Our counselor said it’s best not to push it and hopefully my oldest will outgrow it but it could be a sensory type issue (I believe she used the term “sensory”). We’ve also said numerous times for this person to come to US for info not put our kids on the spot. We invite each set of family to one of each event. With such a large family it’s hard to have everyone at everything and they tend to fight for the kids’ attention. Plus some things our kids need to get right back to the coach or even stay with the coach rather than entertain family. The kids are at the point of not inviting some family at all. We agreed for the ones who don’t bother to come but compromised on everyone else and agreed to one event/game for each ‘set’. This also means that the ones fighting will know the ones they are fighting with won’t be there on the same day. BUT this one couple won’t take that. This is the one who looks up our schedules online and even called the school and let them believe she was me asking about my kid and her activities.

Now she’s also upset because the kids won’t get out as early for break and I won’t give up their first day of break. We have 4 evenings, one whole Saturday free and some extra days we that are tentative planned but could change before then. Now we are back to them wanting my side to change the plans we’ve had since 1962. This would require us to change the schedules of 15 households. Two may move out on their own soon so it could be 17 households. For a day that only 2 households want on his side. 6 households total there. 2 have plans that day. Two want us to do it that day. Two hosueholds don’t care as its pretty much the only thing they have to do and they have all 2 weeks free. Not even Halloween and I’ve already made them mad because I refuse to make 40+ people change plans because 3 adults and a child want us to.

So there’s my day in a nutshell! The kids offered candy but I don’t trust myself at the moment. I’ll have something later when I know I can stop at one. Even if it’s ONE whole bag of popcorn lol.
