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.

Down 2 More....Valentines Day

                                                                          Well, Hope you all had a good valentines day. 

                                                                                                       This is what I made Mike:





Eat your heart out Julie :)

Well, I've already posted the Tattoo news. I guess the only other new stuff is that I am down 2 more pounds. I now weigh what I did on my wedding day in 2002 :) Feels good. But it will feel better when I hit the 150's, I haven't been there in MANY MANY years.

Dalton is on break from school this week. I was hoping to let the kids stay with my parents for a couple days so Mike and I could have some down time, but they are going to start cleaning out grandma's house and meeting with lawyers and all that fun stuff this week. Oh well. God that would have been nice though. Grace has been making me insane lately....I think I feel the gray hairs starting to sprout!

Anyway, nothing much new other than what I have already said.

Our Tattoos.....

Here is Mikes Tattoo:





And here is mine:

Got Bored...

Ok, I hardly ever post update photos anymore. Here is one of me last week. I am hoping that one day, my thighs magically become half thier size!

A little news....

So for valentines day this year Mike and I are going to get tattoos. I got one when I was 18 and have wanted a second one since that day. Mike doesn't have any yet so this will be his first.

I will definatly post pictures after we get them. This is the guys portfolio who will be doing them:

Dylan Tate-White Tiger Tattoo-Rochester, Ny

He seemed pretty nice, and was working on someone while we were there. Mike gets his done on Tues. and I will go in on Wednesday. I can't wait!

Lets see, well last week I GAINED 3 pound. Ugh. I was so pissed, but I know it can be fixed. I have went to the Gym 3 days this week. Taking a break today, and will go tomorrow to get one more workout in before I weigh in on Saturday.

The family is doing well since Grandma left. My parents seem ok. The services were very nice. She looked good. I mean, I know that is something everyone says as funerals..."oh, she looks so peaceful", "She looks so nice", "they did a good job".....but all those things were really true. The last time I visited my grandma in the nursing home, her hair was a mess...she had a bib on with food on herself, her teeth weren't in (that absolutly broke my heart because that was something my grandma NEVER did when she was well)so seeing her laying there in the casket with nice hair and lipstick...made me kind of happy. She is gone now....I miss her, and think of her just about everyday.

So we are moving on.....I will post again soon.
