Happy Valentine's to my kids

What do you get for:
2 pieces of scrapbook paper, 2 ballons from the dollar tree, heart shaped pancakes, and apple juice in fancy cups.
A Valentines Day that my kids will remember forever!




A key for a Key

 I love my husband so much.
I told him about this key necklace at Hallmark, and really thought he would forget about it and not get it. Much to my suprise I got my necklace  on Friday night, and yes I know Valentines is on Sunday, but JD stinks at keeping secrets.
I love my man!!!!

Little Gifts from my little man!

WOW, the best things in life as a mother really do come free.
I was touched yesterday when I got to the daycare and Jackson was just glowing, he couldn't wait to give me a picture that he colored. He said "mom is it beautiful" and you better believe it was!
Awww the simple things in life........

Another goal DONE!

Over the snow days I decided to let me kids break out the play-doh
At first things were good and I thought to my self,
"this is not bad"
but then the fights started, colors got mixed and the OCD in me
kinda freaked out so we wrapped it up and put it away for the day.
The kids enjoyed it, so that is all that matters.
They really do play well together and share for the most part.
I am truly blessed with great kids!

Lucy


Ok so if you know me, I am not a pet person.
I never have been and thought I never would be.
In early January Doris, JD mom called and they had this little bitty kitten outside their
door when it was like 7 degrees outside.
The kitten was brought inside and later given to us.
Lucy has been a great addition to our family.
The kids love her and she does great with them.
I guess I am a pet person after all


Emma's New Haircut

Emma's first real big girl haircut!
Thank you Aunt Tonya, we love T and Co.

Snow Day 1.29.10

Wow, little and BIG boys love snow!
On 1.29.10 we got about 6" of snow and
JD and Jackson could not wait to get out in it.





Goal #14 UPDATE

Great news, yesterday to much of my suprise I got home to find a letter from my friend in prison. In the 3 page letter she talked about how her life was and how she wishes things were different and how they will be when she gets out (in 2021, 11 years from now)
My heart was breaking to read her letter and to know that she was just as nervous to write me back.
I have already written her a 4page letter back, and I could not be happier that God put such an overwhelming weight on me to take that first step and to write her.
God is good! and I pray that great things come from this!

What a blah day.......

Today is so one of those days when I ask my self, why did you even get out of bed?
I feel tired, lost and most of all just confused.
I have so many random thoughts going through my head I don't know where to start.
Let me try
Last night we went to the Zebra Basketball Homecoming and I was upset to see the backdrop on the court looked so much better than when I did it for Football homecoming assembly. I will say that I was not incharge of the lettering at the football homecoming but I just wish it could have looked better now seeing what it could look like....Ok I am rambling.
2nd of all, I was so short with my kids this morning and I hate when I get like that. I know that it is early for them too, but sometimes the worst in me gets the best of me.
3rd, I just really hate coming to work. I dream of a different life where I can stay at home and do crafts all day or be done with school and have my degree as an ultrasound tech, now that would be awesome.
OK enough with my pity party I need to get my day started and now that I have vented what is wrong with me maybe I can start fresh, lets hope.
Happy Friday!

It is going to be hard but I am going to try to make it 
a total of 30 days without the following:

  • chocolate

I know I can do it, its just making myself do it.
I have lost 5.51 lbs of the 30 that I would love to lose by summer

Things I can't have now:
  • Mt. Dew - My favorite!
  • pop in general
  • Chocolate milk
  • candy
  • cookies
  • brownies
  • wow the list goes on and on!!!

2.1.10

Today is the first day of February and I only have 1 of my 15 goals for 2010 completed. I need to get on the ball. I do however have my laundry room clean and ready for paint when the weather warms up some, a color picked out for my bedroom re-do and a scrapbooking weekend with the girls lined out, so I guess I am closer than I thought.

getting back on the wagon...

OK So over the weekend I was very very bad at my diet. It is now Monday and I am so mad at myself for being such a slacker. Yes it was a snowed in weekend, but that is no excuse. Before the weekend I had lost a total of 5.51 lbs and was super pumped about it, will I weight today to see how bad the weekend really was............NO not a chance.
I pray that God gives me strenth to move forward and to make the right choices.
I know that when summer hits I am going to want the body that I am "suppose" to be working at this winter. Wish me luck.
