group therapy ..

julie and tina came up on tuesday .. for a group therapy session .. and you have to have snacks for group therapy ..

tina bought only "healthy" snacks though .. see .. calcium .. the cheetos and star bursts were for the kids .. yes .. i made them eat the "unhealthy" snacks .. this therapy session was for me .. !!

vitamin c .. cash and ellie did have some vitamin c to go with their cheetos and starbursts ..

and my all time favorite .. whole grain .. 5g of it packed into those little cheesy squares .. i am pretty sure that i had about 5 servings of fiber ..

after snacks .. there was running on wet concrete and then leaping onto floating air mattress ..

cash was just a little behind .. that would be because he jumped the gun and cheated on the first go round ..

oh god .. please don't fall backward ellie and hit your head ..

i can hear my dad now .. not to worry dad .. julie is a trained life guard .. we are all good ..

my crazy kids did this for at least an hour .. running .. jumping .. flying thru the air .. landing on the raft .. swimming back to the deck and starting all over again .. i am glad that julie was there because i am sure that i could not have saved a soul because i was full of "calcium" .. "whole grain" and diet coke .. after the running .. leaping and flying .. the kids took a nap and us girls .. we started our "therapy session" .. what is it about laying out in the sun .. chatting with your most favorite girl friends that heals your soul .. that makes all that is wrong and off kilter in your life ok and back on track .. why i ask you .. how come when you lay out your problems and bare your soul to your friends .. and they say things will be ok .. and they are ok .. i love that about "therapy sessions" .. i also love that you don't have to pay big big bucks for this .. you just have to take your "therapists" to Clantons and feed them .. and that i did ..

julie and i split .. split the chicken fingers and chicken fried steak that is .. not like split a plate .. half for julie and half for me .. no no no .. that is against any kind of food law .. i am sure of it .. i gave her half of my chicken fried steak for half of her chicken fingers .. we did not split the mashed potatoes and gravy .. i just don't want there to be any confusion .. and tina .. she guards her plate with her life ..

see .. i am all better .. and for the record .. i ate the roll after i took the picture .. actually i wiped the little bit of gravy and mashed potatoes up with it and then i ate .. i am just being honest here ..

see ... julie is all better to ..

and tina .. fixed ... all whole again .. thank you girls .. you are just what the doctor ordered .. i am thinking that i will need to reschedule another appointment ... say like in a month .. i feel a crisis coming on ..
