My Angels…”SHH…PLEASE Don’t Wake them Up!!

We picked the boys up the other night from a friend’s house after a “date night” for my birthday.  This is what we saw…I turned the light on in the room just to get this photo…It didn’t phase them.  Aren’t they too cute?  See the blue and red Clifford the Dog pillow?  I made that [...]

Sharing A Part of My Childhood with Them…

When I was 3 years old, my daycare started taking me to the skating rink.  I loved going, but I was terrified to skate.  We wore those plastic skates (kind of like the fisher price ones they make now).  I would hang onto the rail for dear life…and fall on my bottom and scrape my [...]

The Start of a New Decade For Me

Today I turned 30.  There was no big changes…I look the same as I did yesterday.  I feel the same as I did yesterday.  I had a nice big breakfast–of–Oatmeal (hey, does that age me more?)  I am watching my weight people!  I love my life and wouldn’t have it any other way (except for [...]

Conversations With Grandpa

Apparently this morning while my loving father was letting me sleep in for just a little while, he undertook the task of feeding my 4 and 1 year old.  I had told him the evening before that there were eggs and sausage in the fridge and the boys could eat that.
So, Grandpa got to work [...]

Answers to the Question: “Grandpa, why don’t you and Grandma live together anymore?”

Well, the day has finally come.  My son asked my father about his divorce.  I stepped in immediately–1) because I felt it important I explain in my own way and 2) I am sure my father wasn’t sure that he would say what I would want him to say…
So, I waited a little while after [...]

Sinus Blockage Surgery: 6 weeks post surgery

I wrote so much about my surgery and what led to it in previous weeks and months, that I thought it is only natural to update you all.  What can I say?  I drain mucous now! (TMI, I know–but it was funny-gross and I thought  I would add it in).
I am writing this mainly for [...]

Weigh-In: Week 4

Well, I am well underway on my diet ( “ahem,…Lifestyle Change”).  I weighed in last night at 136.2 (on an empty stomach, but at night nonetheless!)
So far I am feeling great!  I have been exercising 6 days a week and have begun getting up earlier to exercise 3 days a week.  My schedule is a [...]

Time for a new budget…wish me luck!

Well, I am constantly going over for cost of food on our budget, so it is time to do something about it…time to rearrange our money (again)…
It will be tighter, but we will get through. Luckily I may have another Avon Admin job lined up to bring in another couple hundred a month…that would [...]

Last Week’s Doosey of a Question

This actually happened before the prior post.
So, Doc and I were in the car with the kids.  Big Brother came out and said, “Mommy, if I grew in your tummy…how did I get out?  There is not a hole there!”  Doc and I looked at each other and stifled our grins…we wanted to laugh out [...]

“Mommy, how do you get a mate?”

Yes, people…that is what my 4 year old asked yesterday…he was uncertain with his words, so I asked him to explain.  He then said this:  “I mean, how do you get the parts together?”   My eyes bulged, I am sure!!!  I didn’t know what to say…I have been with him every moment for the last [...]

Week 3: The diet lifestyle change…seeing small results!

Okay, so one of my “one week before New Years Resolutions” was to eat healthier and lose some weight. I logged onto Fitday.com and have been counting calories. I have also been doing TV workouts with Gilad and Cathe Friedriche on Fit TV 6 days a week. I went to the doctor [...]

New Year’s Resolutions….hmm…

Well, it has definitely been a busy holiday season! I have been busy organizing all of my cabinets in my house, the boys room, etc… Right now, freecycle is my best friend! The only place in our house that has not been completely torn apart and reorganized is our bedroom and closet [...]
