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!!!

Isnt it strange how…

When you do something that you think is so “blah” but people end up liking it? I made chicken with bow tie noodles last night. Basically its chicken browned or boiled however you choose to cook it. Cut up/shredded and put in a cream of mushroom sauce then mixed with the noodles. Nothing fancy here on flavor. I have in my opinion cooked many things that are WAY better but wouldnt you knowmy kids LOVE it! I mean so much so they asked for leftovers tonight and when i said we didnt have any(because they ate it all) they asked for me to cook it again! I have cooked this before but the kids were much smaller so they dont remember it. The only other dish they have “RAVED” over this much is Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti, and even that i understand because its actually really yummy!!! They are strange little creatures…

Now for the sad part of this post. I have to lose weight. I mean ive been needing to, since i am quite large but its a “MUST” now because im going to be in a wedding soon and i cant look like this. I hate how you know you need to diet/lose weight but until some kind of event comes up it never really hits you, and then its to late!!! You have to go to these events looking like Fatty McFatter while everyone else flutters around in their size 5 dresses talking about how fat they look! Do they not see you? Do they think we wont realize we are way bigger?! BLAH So yeah im a little bitter about the situation(diet, not the wedding) but my resolution for this year was to get healthier so its not like i didnt plan sometime this year to get it started, just i mean its just the 10th of the new year! I have not yet decided how to go about this. I know i want us to eat better foods,etc but im going to have to do more then that to drop some fast weight before this wedding. Let the games begin!!!
