What a busy day it was!
First church, then to my parents for lunch. We had a good time, but the I needed to go to work.
The best part of all was the wonderful cards and gift my husband and kids gave me.
They rock!!
Kindle fire:)
My favorite movie is~ Dirty Dancing
I almost always cry while watching a movie, even Transformers;)
I always make exotic dinners for my family....Does pot pies count? Lol
The first thing I do after a long night at work is~ undo my bra the second I step in the door.
I love to lick the beaters after making frosting or pudding.
I love yoga pants!!
I find myself talking to myself more as I age;)
I eat bon bons all day long....NOT! I am lucky if I get to finish my food before my son finishes his and wants mine.
I am healthier and happier because I chose to make a change.
I didn't make the same mistakes my parents made when they raised me ...I made MORE!
I am a Mother and it's a name I wouldn't trade for the world:)
Happy Mother's Day on Sunday to all of you my friends.
May your day be a special as you are!

Well this weekend just flew by! I am going on my third night straight at work and it has been super busy. I am ready for a few nights off, especially now that my little guy woke up @5:00 am this morning running a fever:(
A mothers work is never done...
I am hoping to still get some things done today even though I have a sick little guy at home with me.
I don't know about any of you other working mom's out there, but when I am at work the laundry and other house work is always waiting for me when I get home to "have time" to take care of it.
Calgon take me away...:)
Despite the snow storm yesterday, our plans were not canceled. My daughter and I still attended our mother/daughter night, sent my oldest off to a youth retreat and my husband and son had a father/son bowling and pizza night. Everyone had some one on on bonding time:-)
Tonight we are going to Boatwerks for dinner as a family, I can't wait! I love an excuse to get dressed up:) I am thinking my cute gray dress and tall black boots:)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
We had the best time last night with friends of ours:) The dinner at the Olive Garden was amazing! I had the Cheese Ravioli and a glass of Moscoto, my favorite! My husband was begging for me to share an appetizer but I didn't give in. He still ordered one but ate some of it and took the rest home. I am a picky eater so I had two bites of salad and didn't like it and passed on the breadsticks...NSV! Overall I did very well at dinner.
But....around 11:45pm last night my little guy came by my side of the bed crying that his ears hurt, so it has been a long night:( Looks like we may be headed to the doctor today to get checked for an ear infection.
Now this mom needs to get her other kids ready for school.
Hoping the day gets better as it goes on:-)
We had a busy weekend. How about you? I can't believe that it is Monday already!
Saturday we went out as a family. It was so much fun:) We also purchased a few new movies, so yesterday we watched the first 3 and 1/2 of the 4th Star Wars movies..my husband and little guy have quite the obsession;) hehe.
Today me and the girls are watching Breaking Dawn. I can't wait! We went to see it at the theatre and now purchased it:) Are any of you Twilight fans???
Looking forward to tomorrow, Valentines Day. We are going out with another couple for dinner at the Olive Garden:) What are your plans?
Have a great day everyone!
So what is everyone up to this weekend? My husband has his Cadet derby this afternoon and then we are taking the kids out to dinner and we are thinking some bowling or a movie:-) I love when I have my Saturday off from work and we can do something as a family:)
The kids already said they want to go to Steak and Shake for dinner. So I Googled the nutritional info and points values for their menu so I am prepared;)
Have a fun weekend friends!
I am seriously in tears right now:'( I happen to come upon a podcast from July from a blog I occasionally follow called Roni's Weigh.
She was answering questions she received from followers emails. It was like she was speaking to me...
One of the questions in particular was about switching from low carb to WW. WOW....is that not what I have done and back again! I am that person she talks about. Can't go out to restaurants or go to peoples houses because you are afraid of what you will be able to eat. Going through your life with tunnel vision, only concentrating on one goal "lose weight". While everything moves on around you and you are "missing it".
"Carbophobic"..that sums it all up!
I do not want to be this person. I want to enjoy everything, food included. I know that life is short. Having lost so many close people to me recently. As Roni says she decided to switch to WW and it was the best decision she ever made. Roni also speaks of going back and forth with different diets, but this is and was the best choice for her(WW).
I have some thinking to do, but I am pretty sure I have come to a decision. I own my life and want to make the best choices for me. Sometimes it takes a few "signs" for you to realize what the path is....
Can you believe that it is February already!!!???
WOW!
I am ready for Spring. Warmer weather, being able to walk outside more often and sitting out on our deck soaking up some rays:-) Oh..sorry kind of lost myself for a minute day dreaming of warm Spring days/nights;)
I have to be honest, this week has been tough eating wise for me. I am pretty sure there will not be a loss this week for me. I am ok with that though. I am owning up to my choices, but do not regret them. I spent some wonderful time this weekend going out with my husband and children. Doing some shopping, enjoying coffee shops, and we ate out a few times...not always making the best choices, but I am owning up to them and will be able to handle the consequences whatever they may be on Friday at my weigh in.
February is going to be great month. I can just feel it:-) Just maybe not the first weigh in;)
