Sweetie got in from drinking & whatnot around 2 or maybe closer to 3, and
was up around 5:30 being sick. Not from alcohol I don't think. I hope
it's not contagious and I don't get it. Bleh. I don't guess we'll be
going to wings & beer tonight. I emailed Peglegasus and Jaime to let them know
Sweetie was at home & sick when I left this morning.
Tonight is either skate night or Krav Maga. I'll call [Cousin B] and see what
he feels like doing. I could do either, really. [Cousin B] spent the summer
alternating between the gym and riding 10-20 miles on his bike, and now
that he has a social life, he isn't working out so much and [aunt L] (of
all people!) was telling me last night 'he needs to get exercise'--
after encouraging him to be lazy and overeat all summer, and basically
bragging on her own poor eating and exercise habits. I don't guess she
gets that kids follow what you do more than what you say, and adjust
their behavior & priorities to reflect the example you set...she feeds
him up like a prize pig and encourages him to sit and visit, watch TV,
drink soda, and then gets mad because he's letting himself go a bit?
ugh. Oh well. I'll keep doing my best to encourage him to have
healthier habits.
