Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to you!

Started the HCG diet today. Sat and Sun are load days where you can eat whatever you want to load up for the 45 days you are on the plan. Wish me luck! Will keep you posted :)

One thing down

Well, first thing on resolution list officially done Saturday. The family joined the YMCA. So happy we finally did this! Hoping I will stay motivated. Think I will also try another Run For God 5K race this year. Completed one last year, although not very good. Hoping training at the Y will make this race more successful. Off to bed, busy day tomorrow! Back to work/school! YEAH!!

Well, maybe not...

I have a confession to make. I returned my son to his crib after returning him to his toddler bed for the umptenth time. Hated to and didn't want to, but we all needed some sleep. Hubby is back working nights and I didn't realize how lonely it would be. Alexis cried for him tonight becuz he isn't here to tuck her in. Very hard for us all as he has been home working at farm since 12/20. Too much like old times, I guess. Step one on resolution marked off today. We joined the Y. Hoping it wasn't a mistake, and that we will be motivated to go. Have been twice this week, and kids love it. Hoping it works out...

Another year older?

Wow, have I neglected you. Thinking about you the other day, and decided to log-in tonight. It has almost been a year since I have been here. ALOT has happened. I must share this with you. Drew rec'd a Cars toddler bed and bedding for Christmas and we are on night 2 of him sleeping in it! So excited! He even napped in it today! May be able to take down the crib much sooner than I thought. But a small part of me is saddened. When the crib comes down, I will sell it. And will never need another crib again. Well you should never say never, but you know what  I mean. Will see how this week goes. Wish us luck....

Where have you been?

Wow, I have been gone like 2 months. Where, you say? Living my life with two kids, a pain in the rear dog, and a great hubby. We had Thanksgiving and now Christmas. As usual, we have a lot to be thankful for. I am constantly playing the Remind Myself game. When I get angry and huffy about all the toys, I remind myself how fortunate my kiddos are. When I open the pantry and food falls out... I remind myself. You get the picture. Hope you all had a great holiday. Now to the New Year. I really want to make this next year healthier for me and my family. Must pay some bills now and remind myself again...

Another beautiful day!

Another beautiful day today.  Last two days were very busy.  Made cupcakes, brownies, hot spiced cider, and white choc/almond/cranberry bars for Awanas.  Had enough left over to share with Alexis' teachers today...and a few left for me:) Love making food and sharing with friends:) Will be trying my BFF Dee's Chicken Enchiladas and will post if I like them. (Really no doubt as to not liking them, as her food is always delish!) Want to start a TOPS meeting. Only need 4 people to start a chapter.  See what I can do to make it happen...until next time

Saturday Night

Wow, what a beautiful day today.  The leaves are amazing.  Constantly reminding myself to stop and really LOOK at them:) Am trying a crockpot recipe for potato soup.  Sounds easy, hope it is delicious. Alexis had good time w/ Andy @ Lowes today making a bat.  Well, my son does NOT like to shop.  Oh how I wish one of my children shared my passion:)
