Georgia Davis is a 15 year old girl from South Wales. She currently weighs 462 pounds. In September she is entering a “fat camp” in North Carolina where she hopes to lose 280 pounds. She is going to try to cut her daily caloric intake down from 13,500 to 1200. Thirteen Thousand calories!! I’m sorry, I don’t mean to sound crude, but what the hell is wrong with this child’s parents/guardian/whoever is responsible? Why didn’t they stop buying all those oreos?

And is this picture supposed to be funny? She said her food addiction started at the age of FIVE when her father died. I can understand that I guess, and I could even understand her being so big if it were a medical problem.. but the simple fact is that whoever is responsible for taking care of this child simply did not do their job. Her daily diet consists of a chocolate cake, six bags of chips, a gallon of milk, two loaves of bread, two plates of french fries and Coca cola. She was banned from her school cafeteria for overeating. WTF. Her mother should be slapped.

July

So July is upon us. That means that in roughly 2 months my baby boy is going to be starting the 3rd grade. It’s just so hard for me to absorb. It seems like only yesterday I was walking him to his kindergarten class for the first time. He was so nervous and excited at the same time. I cried, of course, but he didn’t. He was perfectly fine. I’ve always been a baby when it comes to stuff like that. I remember when I first went back to work after he was born. He was 4 months old, and for the first few weeks it was so difficult to leave him at the sitter’s house every morning. I had the worst time of it. It got a little easier, but still even when I take him to my mom’s or I drop him off somewhere, or when he gets out of the car to get on the school bus, I feel this little twinge of something inside me. I don’t even really know what it is.

I haven’t anything really interesting to update here right now, because my days have been pretty boring except for the bipolar-ness that I’ve been dealing with. I hope that it passes soon.

I’m A Bipolar Mother

Sometimes it is hard being a single parent. It’s hard sometimes being a parent either way, though. But being bipolar and having emotional retardation doesn’t make it any easier. I am lucky that my son copes well with the challenges that having a bipolar parent present to him. He’s amazing for it. I have my moments where I just can’t control my emotions and he knows I’m just having a bad time, and it usually passes pretty quickly. It’s not like I don’t try, also, but I do know that with my ex boyfriend slowly fading out of the picture, it will get better. He’s the root of most of my problems it seems. However, I can’t place all the blame on him. He just exacerbates an already troubling issue. I have problems, and instead of trying to help me get through them, he makes them worse. I don’t want to babble here about it, though.

I found out that my son’s day camp is the same week as VBS this summer. So he’s not going to VBS. I already paid for the day camp, and its all day as opposed to 3 hours a day of VBS. I’m sure he’ll have a blast.

I’ve been kind of having a bad day. We are definitely eating out tonight. I had planned on making chicken enchiladas, but with the whole emotional rollercoaster Chris took me on today I just don’t feel up to cooking. Eric will enjoy eating out, anyway!

Life Is Random Right Now

The kiddo brought home his progress report. His lowest grades were 97 in Math and Language Arts. Other than that it was 100s. I’m so proud of him. Anyway, I just wanted to throw out some bragging.

He’s growing a mini garden in his window sill. He bought these little tiny planters and planted some seeds. He’s growing flowers and herbs. Cute, huh? I’m not sure how it’s going to turn out, but it’s something he’s interested in!

My internet has been messed up for a bit now, so I haven’t been able to sit down and actually list all those books, but I’ll get to it eventually.

Sorry for the randomness.

I have a friend named Tracy who is in desperate need of some help. Her husband recently walked out on her and their 4 year old daughter to go live with a woman he works with. He left her with bills due, no food, and no money. What she needs is money to help her meet their most immediate and urgent needs. If you have anything to spare, anything at all, it would be put to good use, and be greatly appreciated. Please send any donations, if you have any, via paypal to lendahend (@) unsexy.net. Or you can go here to get more details and use the paypal donate button. Thank you.
