Do you ever wish you could hit the pause button in your own life? Even for just 5 minutes?

Alright Crohns please go away NOW. I have no time for you. :-(

Been so sick but thankfully my hubby has been taking great care of me. :-)

I'm lucky my hubby is so talented!

Sad. Stressed.

These frogs are driving me crazy. At least I think that's what is making all that noise outside.

I need to stop stressing and trust in the Lord completely. #trying

I seriously need to get to sleep earlier and get some much needed rest.

Yes! Double yes! ;-)

2/2 (2) will we ever beat 7?

2nd bottle of water. Boo. I suck.

One bottle of water down. Too many too go.

Come on usteam! I wanna watch my home church! Lighthouse Christian center Richmond.

What a pig! I'm certainly not going to lose wt @ this rate. 2 blt's 2 cinnamon buns. Yum!

Just inhaled the best BLT my hubby just made me. On to #2 ;-)

1/1 (1)

124.2 this morning. Wahoo!

On to bottle #5!

With that said... Here's to my large bowl of ice cream ;-)

Day five and I am still at 125lbs. Goodness. Maybe I should slow down a tad in the eating department lol. We all know how extremely difficult that is for me though. :-p

3 bottles of water so far today. Ugh. I seriously need to get better.

5/5. (0)

Bottle 4 down.

On bottle 3 of water. Yikes. I know. Way behind. There's still time though. Lol.

3/3. ;-) and onto bottle 4 of H2O :-)

3 bottles of water today. Moving up. :-)

02:09 let's try this again. Oy.

12:17 am. Okay this might be a slight move in the right direction. Nighty night all.

3/3. Yeah baby! (4)

124 yesterday. 125 today. Oy.

So yesterday was the first day of our month long of trying NOT to eat out. We/re hoping to see some improvements in both our waists and bank account lol. Okay wait, so while we did not actually order food yesterday, we did however order drinks.  Hmmm so I assume today will be our official day 1.

And here it is, bedtime, and I can safely say we made it through day 1.  Hip hip hurray! Bring on tomorrow. Tomorrow will be hubby's last day of junk food as he embarks on the 17-day diet on Thursday. For anyone interested, I highly recommend this diet. You eat good food and you don't go hungry. This will also begin my weaning off of soda. Yes, I have a bad addiction to soda. We'll see how that one goes. 

Alright it has been a loooooong day and I am hoping to turn in by 11:30. This 12:30-1:30am eye closing pattern I have gotten into has got to go. Especially since hubby goes back to work Thursday and we won't be happy campers going to bed so late and waking up so early. Time to retrain now. Nighty night.

2/2

Why am I still awake?

Do you ever feel like you're not worth much?

Wow, it's just after 8am and my lil ones are still asleep. Must be the rain. Thank you rain! Thank you Jesus! :-)

You can conquer the world when you have support otherwise forget about it!

33,959 unread messages in my inbox dating back to when I had NataLee. Ugh. Must clean inbox.

Why can't my girls sleep in to at least 7?

My kids are just too cute!

Summer fun; 11 weeks of summer fun! :-)

Today is day 4 of summer vacation. Yes I realize Friday shouldn't actually count as day 1 but since it was only a half day of school, I decided to count it. I must say it's been a lovely start to our summer. I'm really excited to see what we can pack into 11 weeks of summer fun. I'll try my best to blog or at the very least send in my short little text message updates.

Today my daughter wants to be a veterinarian and a teacher.

Yesterday my daughter tells me she wants to be a scientist and then a science teacher.

It's been so great to have my Hubby home today and have his help! :-)

Chocolate chip pancakes and pool setup and filled with water all before 7am today!

Boohoo, I really dislike duty days and really really dislike them when it's a holiday. Missing my Hubby already!

It is hot outside!

Yeah, my husband is pretty awesome! ;-)

Crying myself to sleep.

Guess I ask for too much. :-/ :-(

It's time for a change!

2 mile run/walk. 34:42. Day 1 of running again.

42 sit-ups this morning, after a weekend off. Must do more later today.

Really really disliking my husbands job right now!!!!!

32 sit-ups!

No sit-ups yesterday. What a loser. Doubling up today.

123 lbs today. Geez two pounds more than I started. Ugh!

19 Sit-ups this morning. I'm getting there.

13 sit-ups last night. I know I know. Doesn't seem like much but when you have had your abdominal muscles cut as much as I have, it's a great start.

By the way...down one pound too. 121 today. Just a few more pounds to go and I will be back to the weight I was when I got married and before I had kids.

Hmmm

Day 13 and yummy blissfulness. Happiness!

I'll re-write bits and pieces of my original post. Waiting for the rain to wash over us and wash the ugliness away.

Hmmm I guess if I try to write too much via a text msg blog post, it comes out messed up. :( not cool

Testing 1, 2, 3.

Oy not again! Are my posts coming out all messed up?

Today is day nine of my new year. Let's see how I can make this day special. Whatcha got Tuesday?

For future reference; you can't make everyones morning. :-(

What do you do when something you once had a passion for becomes frustrating and aggravating?

Hurray! Finally! I think I fixed my text to blog program. This helps me blog when I have a quick second and something worth sharing. :-)

Why isn't this working?

:-)

I need to update but I'm so tired. Long but productive day.

Day three and I'm happy. Three for three!

House is officially up for sale. Is this all really happening? What's next? Looking forward to tomorrow. Goodnight world!

Day 2

When will I ever completely realize that no matter how hard you try, you cannot please everyone?

On another note, I really miss my kitties.

Day 2 of my new year and I am two for two baby! ;-)

Tomorrow I will attempt to try and load pictures into my blog again.

Okay time to snuggle up to the hubby. The hubby who ran me a hot bath and surprised me with a clean kitchen while I soaked. Life is good! Oh and did I mention KayLee got a purple face two days in a row and a 100% on her book test today. Let me also remind myself if I ever need a good laugh, I just have to remember the loud giggles coming from NataLee this afternoon as we all raced through our storage unit. It is all these small moments that make all my stress melt away. Just like tonight's dinner...I love when all four of us sit down and enjoy a home cooked meal together. Our nightly dinners are one of my most favorite times of the day.

Alright I better shut this down now because I am seriously rambling tonight. Good night all and God bless.

Happy 33!

Today is day 1. The first day of my new year. I cannot wait to see all that lies ahead! Thank you Jesus for another year. Here's to embracing this year more than I did my last. :-)

Happy Birthday to me!
