Thursday.....

Ok so today is Thursday. My folks are coming into town this afternoon, so I really should be cleaning house right now instead of typing on here but as usual I really do Not feel like cleaning. Do I ever? So what is new? As of last Saturday I have lost 41 pounds since June! Huge milestone, makes me feel good-accomplished you know. Tomorrow Dalton doesn't have school so I am taking him in for his screening for Kindergarten. Crazy to even think he is going to be 5 in May. Some days he just seems so big to me and then just as easily it seems just like yesterday that I was pregnant with him. I have to say though, I don't think I will be one of those teary weepy parents when he starts school. The main reason being, he has been going for 5 days a week for 2 years now, and the Kindergarten here is for only 2.5 hours a day which is what he does now, so it really isn't going to be that much different than it is now. I think on Friday my parents and I are going to take the kids to the museum too since my folks haven't been there yet.
And Saturday, Mike and I will be going out with a couple friends. Been a long time since I've hung out in a bar so that was my one request- that we go to BARS! I can't wait.
Oh, and in April Mike and I are going to see Jesus Christ Superstar, which should be fun. Mike has always been a fan of this musical and he has seen it performed once---I have never been to a big production like this so I am kind of excited too! And Corey Glover- of Living Colour fame-is Judas in it so it's kind of cool to know that someone I am familar with is in the production.
So that is my life for the moment.
Oh yeah, Dalton finished up Karate this week and got his white belt. We are signing him up for 8 more weeks since he enjoyed it so much!

Have a good one!

Today is Saturday

With a few minutes to kill waiting to head out the door I thought I'd jump on here for a bit. Things are going pretty good. Today is going to be fun hopefully. I weighed in this morning...stayed the same from last week, better than gaining at least. It just irritates me though because I've lost 39.5 pounds....I just wanted that half pound today-oh well.

Dalton and I are going to a birthday party today-he is SO excited. It is for his classmate Nora and it is at Chuck E. Cheeses, one of his favorite places so it should be fun. Grace is equally excited since she is going to my sisters while we are at the party. She LOVES my sister and is so thrilled be be going over there to play.

Monday is St.Patty's day. So Dalton has a little party at school for that plus it is my volunteer day at school so that should be fun too.

Oh, Dalton started Karate last week too. He is liking it. I haven't been there with him yet since Mike just happens to have those days off---he goes 2 days a week, 6 classes total. But he has a little uniform, which I still need to get a photo of him in it....

Anyway, just a little update. Have a great day.

MARCH FIRST

Hi everyone. Been awhile since I posted. So anyway, gained a pound this week. I'm almost positive it has to do with "that time of month", at least I'm hoping so. I'm also not beating myself up over it. The last month my weight has been a little mixed up. Between working out with a little more regularity and my new cravings for salty nuts and snack mixes and then throw in my period twice in one month...frickin February! Anyway....I will get out of this rut! 

Nothing else has really been going on. I am in desperate for attention right now though. Really needing some adult time, away from the kids again. I really felt like a lunatic half the time this week. Walking on eggshells around Mike because we were arguing about everything. Again, most of this can be chalked up to my period, toss in Mikes work schedule this week of 6pm-6am, which meant  waking up at 2, leaving for work at 5:30....always stressful. At any rate, I really want my mom to come for a weekend and hang with the kids so Mike and I can go out alone.

My house is a wreck as usual. That is really what I should be taking care of right now. I went to the gym at 7am before weight watchers this morning, so now Mike is at the gym and took the kids with him. Prime cleaning time, but I would much rather just enjoy the silence after the miserable week I have had. I don't know....maybe I'll shower first and then take it from there.

Weather has been cold...snowy...blowy...wintery.

I am ready for spring.

So I guess that is it for now.
