Better

So I think I am proceeding quite nicely through the recovery process. It HAS been a process.

Day 1 AFTER the pageant~I had Jared go and get Carls Junior for me...complete with a milk shake. I refused to answer the phone and basically stayed in my PJs all day

Day 2~A little better. I Blogged- ate a box of Enttemans donuts ( Jill will understand)

Day 3~ Phone rings at 7:58 am and its the director of the pageant. She proceeds to "rip me a new one" for sharing my feelings about the pageant "in a public forum" Apparently one of the other contestants read my blog and was upset.. she went on to say a whole bunch of fairly mean stuff to me... Well, I never meant to upset ANYONE EVER...SO I of course cried (after I got off the phone), Shut down my blog..almost deleted it Im so glad I didnt. Wrote notes of apology. Went to my room and cried some more

Day 4 Jared takes the envelope with the left over tickets and money to the pageant office. The Director/owner hands Jared back our FAMILY picture and says "you can have this back, I um..HAVE a copy. Translation: She had said, she wanted to use my kids for some print work and commercials...handing back the picture that I had written all of their ages and names is a gesture I view as: there is NO WAY we will be calling YOUR kids for work. Just a catty, mean spirited thing to do to show that I have pissed her off too.

Day 5 I feel bloated and large because I have spent the last few days eating everything I could get my hands on. I feel like I am ready to start cracking the whip on myself and being healthy. No more Enntemans, no more Carl's Junior milk shakes,I have 1 month to prepare for Mrs Alaska America. so instead of pouting I need to go to the gym....TODAY and start feeling like this last pageant isnt going to own me..That I can if I pull my self together I potentialy will do VERY well at this next pageant.

I'm so glad my box of entimen's (who knows how to spell it, I just eat them!) solved all your woes :) I need to hit the gym with you! Next time we both have a crappy day we'll eat a box together and then work out after. LOL You're awesome!

Eden... wow! I didn't know this happened! Did you take the blog down? I looked for it after I read this... but I didn't find anything that someone could have found offensive. I had no idea you were so hurt by this pageant..... I imagined that you probably would be..... trust me, I was BLOWN AWAY that you didn't even place! I thought you were going to win! Anyways..... If I can get off work I plan to be at the America pageant to cheer you on! I know you'll do great!
