Life passes by…
Way to quickly… It seems like just yesterday I had babies, infants, toddlers even. Now i have a 1st grader and as of today a registered Preschooler! I just can’t believe it. It’s hard to believe that i could never have another “Baby” to take care of again. We haven’t ruled out having more kids but as of now things are good and we don’t see them changing. As i sit and think about it i get a little sad, i really am going to miss my little bud. I mean sure its not like he is leaving forever but its been just me and him at home for almost 3 years now during the day while Madie was at school and Brad at work….. I know he is going to love it, there were a lot of little boys being registered today too. So many new friends for him to make 😀 I can’t wait for him.
Preschool today, and College tomorrow! {sigh}
Happy Tuesday!
So i made this last night and to my suprise it was very yummy. I changed a few things and honestly you could not tell the difference from the meatloaf i used to make with ground chuck verses this one, except for the fact that i was less salty which is a good thing! 😀
Last night we decided to put one of our computers in Madies room for the kids. We want to put a few games and educational software on there for them and we fixed it to where they can log on to “child friendly” websites and play games on there as well. I really was excited about this being the computer addicted person i am. I think they should learn the basics of a computer especially since more and more classes use them. Plus it gives us something we can use when it comes to chores,etc. Our goal is to set up a certain time for PC time,etc and if certain things have been done they get to play on the PC. The only downside to this is the fact that I’m not the best “teacher” so getting asked 100 times about the same thing isn’t fun for me, i like kids that can D. I. Y.! HAHAHA That sounds much more horrible then it really is but don’t worry i am praying for patience!!!
Oh and…
In other weightloss realted issues. I am now down 21lbs. Which so rocks!!! No looking back now 😀
I doubt i will post little changes i want to do it monthly with pictures too but just wanted to share it with anyone who reads this that finally after over 7yrs of being over weight something has finally CLICKED! Thank you Lord!!!
{ Insert witty title here }
Ok let me be the first to say that sometimes we all deserve a little treat. Even when we are trying to eat healthier and lose weight. I think from time to time enjoying something that makes us happy is ok, as long as its just every once in a while not every 8hrs. Now with that said I want a Milky Way! Its that time of the month for me and i want chocolate. This is a huge step because normaly i want a keg of coke and 10 chocolate cakes so wanting just one little Milky Way is super awesome. I even made sure to leave enough calories and carbs available in my daily intake. I asked brad to get me one on my way home, he had school tonight so i sat there waiting on him every now and then thinking about how awesome it was going to be to enjoy it. I havent had hardly any chocolate in 3 weeks. The chocolate i did have really shouldnt be called that since its was a SMART ONES dessert thing, which you have to microwave and try to enjoy your semi defrosted “cake” which only takes 3.5 bites to finish. And i was actually ok with that. I havent even(by some awesome miracle) craved anything that i normally eat, i even passed up King cake at Brads birthday dinner!!! I THINK I DESERVE A FREAKING MILKY WAY !!! Do you think he got it? NO he did not, and why do you think he didnt get it. Was it because he wishes death on himself?… NO! Was it because he is just dumb?… NO! It’s because for so long he has wanted me to do this, finally take charge of my weight and become thinner and now that I am he is making sure i dont “slip” he has become the Hitler of the diet world!!! Now if he wanted it, we would have a freezer FULL!!!!
Yes i know i sound rude, and very negative and ungreatful that i have lost 19lbs. I am SOOO greatful and have no thoughts or returning back to that way… With that said, i still want a Milky Way!!!
Feelin the urge…
To clean and be creative:
 I suddenly feel the need to purge and clean everything and its not even Spring. I keep a clean house, the cleanest i have ever for a long period of time that is. We are by no means gross but for a long time i just kept things going. Now that my kids are older and keep it mainly in their rooms and i really do love my house its different. The kind of cleaning i want to do is where you mop everything, wipe it all down, organize the closets,etc… Know what I mean?! Open the windows let in the breeze type of cleaning. The only bad thing is, its like 30 something degrees out and raining off an on so opening the windows wouldn’t be to good right now… I still am doing it tomorrow, unless i wake up an don’t have any urge! 😀
The creative is i want to get somethings done around my house, painting,decorating & gardening. Two of these things cant happen until March but i do want to start doing some things around here that i had to put off due to the holidays and all…
My “healthy eating” is going well. I have been experimenting with some recipes,etc. Haven’t had heart burn since this started. I’ve been of cokes for two weeks. I am getting a exercise bike tomorrow! SUPER excited about that. I have to work on my water intake, i suck at that. I am really proud of myself. Yesterday was the hardest day for me. I wanted a huge burger and fries sooooooo bad but i didn’t and that’s a huge thing here folks. Oh well, Brads playing Halo(surprise) I think I’m going to go read for a little while….
When good trips turn bad…
What a busy but the good kind of busy weekend. We went to my good friend Laura’s house/town for dinner & a movie for Brads birthday. Its about an hour from here so not that far but far enough to feel like a little get a way. It was nice, we went and saw JUNO, and then we went and ate a nice Mexican resturant, then back to their place and played games till almost 1am, and then we drove home! After a exhausting and what seemed like forever hour long drive we got home around 2am, but it was worth it! We had a great time, that is except for the fact that i lost my wedding ring!!! Yep, you read that right, its gone for good! 😦 I dont know when it happened, its been a little loose 1. because I have cut off all cokes and cut back on my sodium intake as well, so im not swelling like i used to and then it was cold so my hands werent as tight. By the time i realized we had been to 2 places, we went back to the Theater and searched(even the trash can) and left a description of it…. but its gone! 😦 I really am sad. When i think about it i have a sick feeling in my stomach. I tried wearing my older wedding band but its not the same, I loved my ring! Kinda silly i know, but i almost hope it got thrown away because i hate to imagine someone taking it home and wearing it because it isnt theirs!!! Oh well, enough said about that, whats done is done…
