Horrible. Horrible. HORRIBLE!
I had a 400+ calorie blueberry muffin for breakfast this morning and feel so crappy about it! ARRGH! I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football as Lucy yanks it away. Lucy in my case is PMS! The football is my goal...that I keep missing and me being Charlie Brown, need I explain?
What is it about trying to diet and become a healthier individual that make obstacles appear? I swear I haven't wanted a blueberry muffin in years. YEARS! But I certainly had to stuff one down my mouth this morning....and I did so with gusto! *hangs head down in shame*
I vow to do a better job today. For me, for my friends all dieting with me...for my children! If I'm not healthy how can I possibly have healthy children? It's all by example and I really need to step up my game. Growing up, sorry mom, I did not have the healthiest parents. We ate in front of the TV and we certainly weren't health conscious. I can remember that most of the time a vegetable wasn't served. I have to give my mom credit now. She's eating more vegetables, still not enough, but something is better than nothing. I always had dessert every night. Ice cream or an ice pop or even a bowl (large) of sugary cereal. Now, during the week for school I was not allowed sugary cereal..that was allowed on the weekends...but dessert, well that was a different ball game. I'm surprised that I stayed thin throughout my teen years and into my twenties. I'm not obese now...but losing 25lbs sure would make a difference.
I need to tone up and lose a few inches. Maybe 25lbs is too high of a goal. I'm at 140, 5'2" and carry my weight well. It's pretty evenly distributed. LOL. My goal is to be around 115. I know I can do it. I've done it before. Having two children in 2 years wasn't exactly the best thing for my midsection. I know it can be done. I know I can tone up and have a "bangin" body. ha ha
Ahhh...I feel better now. Got it all out.
Condo news: Looks like the contracts got signed last night! 7 day option so I'm hoping to pay off a few things and start looking for my new home in a couple of months. I'd like to have Christmas in my new home so that's another goal I have. 25lbs and Christmas in my new home.
Say it with me....
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
I need to get my butt in gear at work. Good thing I type about 85wpm. It only takes me a couple of minutes to get it all out!
I'd rather be in the kitchen..but I'm so grateful for a job and all that I have.
Have a wonderful day.

Is it Monday?
This weekend flew by! I did not get my craft on. :(
I did, however, get all of my laundry completed. hahah.
This weekend went by so fast the only thing I remember doing is laundry. I am sitting here trying to think of what else we did. Nothing, I guess. How does that even happen? How, on Monday, can I not remember what happened Friday through Sunday?!?!?!
I do know that this week is going to go by fast. I'm only in the office Monday through Wednesday. I love having a short week at the office.
A month or so ago I started Weight Watchers. It was working great. I was tracking my points and entering any exercise I completed and I immediately lost 6lbs. It was all downhill from there. I wasn't able to stay motivated despite doing the program with two of my coworkers. I gained 3lbs back. BOO! I started using the free tracking website called MyFitnessPal.com last week and it has been much better. A few of my friends are also using that and we can all see each other's goals, progress and make comments to each other on our status. This site has really kept my interest. I am excited to log in and not only see my progress but my friends as well!!! I love writing on their pages as they complete their daily journals and enter in weight loss. It's so motivating! I suggest going there before paying for Weight Watchers. I will never pay for a program again.
Keep on, keeping on.
As always....I'd rather be in the kitchen!
PS Anyone have any good pork chop recipes? I really want to try something new.

FRIDAY!
Just left work and headed to Hobby Lobby before I pick up the kids. Want to get my craft on this weekend.
I really need to get our family pictures printed and sent out. We took them in June and I have really sat on them. Oops. Maybe I will find some good frames at HL.
Can't wait to spend time with the kids and hubby. No pressing housework...minimal amount of laundry. I might have a close to stress free weekend!

Condo
We have been trying to sell our tiny condo FOREVER! Today might just have been our day. We have buyers and as ling as they sign a contract...I think we are good!!!
I am dying to get into a house. It is extremely hard to find one that meets all of our needs so we have had to take a step back and give up on a few things. I don't mind having to do a few renovations, but I do not want to have to tear down walls inside a home because of wood panels! Good Lord! How are there still homes with wall to wall wood panels? They are awful!!
As I lay here typing this I am so worried about how long it might take for us to find a home. It took so long to sell ours. What if we miss out on this buyers market??? I don't want to buy low so I can sell it in a year or do for profit....but I do want to get a good deal since we had to sell ours for zero profit!
Life is starting to turn around for us. It took a long time for us to find each other and our life together started rough. It seems to be leveling out and all of our hard work is paying off. Today is over...I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings for my little family if four.
As always, I wish I was in the kitchen! Signing off to get some sleep so I can get up before the sun to get us all up and ready for Friday.
Good night!
Where are my posts going?
To outer space!! I downloaded the application to post from my phone and it wasn't working. Awesome.

Great find!
OK, so one of my guilty pleasures is a really great find while shopping.
Today I scored a pair of Steve Madden flip flops for $6 at Ross. Can't wait to wear them tomorrow!!!
Anyone out there reading my blog? Where do you find your killer deals?

I'm baaaaack!
Not that anyone missed me..but I'm back.
I've been off having baby #2...a boy! He's 7 months old..so I've had some time to get used to two kids and what a ride!
I had him December 2011. I was only off from work 2 weeks, no maternity leave offered...what century are we in?, back to work in January. I worked from home in January while my mom watched my 2 year old daughter during the day. It was tough but I got to spend so much time with him.
In February of 2012 my office allowed me to work from home Tuesday's and Thursday's. My daughter went to preschool M-W-F and stayed home with me and Drew on Tu&Th. I had to work double hard to get it all done..but I got a good schedule going and made it work....until now. I'm back at work 5 days a week.
This is the first week my son is in daycare. I miss his little laugh during the day. I miss my daughter's big hugs and hearing her play in her room. This week has seemed extra long and extra hard....I miss my kids!!!
I know other working moms out there go through the same hot mess I am right now. I applaud all working moms. We are making it work for our families the best way we can.
I'll have to update later on my hectic schedule right now. I am still trying to wrap my head around everything.

Telecommuting, should be interesting
I've been approved to telecommute one day a week. I've picked Wednesday's. It is all because we are out a sitter for two days a week. My mom has decided she will do four days a week if I could just find a sitter for one day a week.
It would be great if I could find someone to come to the house on Friday's...but that's not going to happen. At least with this new situation we aren't spending money we don't have on child care..which will lead to less doctor's appointments. At least when they go to school they have to have all of their vaccinations. So, we've got that going for us.
I am curious to see how the telecommuting goes. I have to bring my laptop to work and IT will set it all up for me...and then voila..I should be good to go. I'm hoping that it gets done tomorrow and that I can stay in on Wednesday. The rest of the week I will have to drive out to Katy...not at all looking forward to that commute but what the heck, it's free child care, right?
Ever notice how my paragraphs don't always go..? I just sort of flow in and out like I'm talking. I should probably get that straightened out if I want to write my book. It's not on motherhood or even pregnancy. It's a semi autobiography on my high school years. Parts will be severely embellished and other parts will be slimmed down. We'll see how it goes. I've pitched the idea to a few people with some snip its...and they loved it. AND .. yes, I've pitched it to people who would actually tell me the truth if it was crap. I have a second book on the brain..entitled "The life and times of a liar" it is loosely based on a person that used to be in my life..and works really well as a fictional character. The title is a working title..but I have so many things to write around...It has to contain liar...or compulsive...something. I've got a few things a notebook jotted down. I just need to sit down and write at night instead of going to bed at 9:45 or 10...just so worn out.
I know a lot of people say they have a novel in their head...why not put it on paper, send it around and see what happens? You never know unless you try!

Phew...
Got through a very tricky morning!!!
I will not go into details because I do not want to relive it but suffice it to say I am more than glad it is now the afternoon!! Thank goodness for "Answered Prayers"!
Looking forward to this weekend. Probably going to the Children's Festival. Should be fun. My daughter is just old enough to enjoy some of the festivities. She loves to be outside. There will be a ton going on. Character's walking by and booths to visit...face painting (I wish she would sit still for it..but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen!) and games. I can't wait to see her face when she sees all the big characters walking around.
Last week she ran up the the Easter bunny with such gusto that I just know she isn't going to have any issues with the larger than life cartoon characters. She loves those Backyardigans. We don't let her watch TV but on a rare occasion (wink wink) she will get to see a few shows and shows a lot of interest when they are dancing and singing. She even dances along!
I am hoping for a date night with my husband Friday night. It would be good for us to get away and do that. We usually include the baby in our date nights because she's is a part of our life! Maybe I'll work on a sitter and surprise my man..hmmm must put more thought into this.
If we go to dinner I don't want it to be super trendy or in and around where all of the hustle and bustle is. I'd really like for it to be quiet and semi quaint. Not so quaint that the service is terrible....that happens sometimes with the smaller joints. Hmmm I guess I need to put more thought into that as well!!!
Well, my faithful reader (Jody, I love you!) I hope you have a marvelous weekend. And to anyone else out there who happens to pop in. Have a beautiful day!

Mother's Day is coming....
I know it's semi cheesy to post info about my second job - Scentsy on here..but what the heck..it's worth a shot.
Here's a flyer for Mother's Day. Contact me for specials and to get in on the drawing for a goodie bag containing a Scensty Plug in and other goodies!

AARRGH! Work..it's a four letter word
OH my goodness! Today could not be worse...well, I'm sure it could..but it's pretty bad at work! I just want to scream and throw my monitors at someone. Ever had a day like that?
Usually I can contain my irritation with the stuff that goes on..but today..no can do. I am about to go on a walk!!!
Countdown time...
10....9.....8....7......6......5.....4.....3.....2.....1.......
Well...I feel a tad better. LOL
Just need to put a picture of my precious family in my head and all will be well..I work to make sure my family has what we need....must learn to love my job..must learn to love my job..
I will just repeat that to myself all day. It will probably help.
Hope everyone out there is having a much better day then I am!
Take care :)

Whirlwind Weekend
This weekend was so busy!!!
Let's just say if you have ever been involved in a Catholic Confirmation.....it's very long, very drawn out...was busy with it from Friday evening until Saturday after 11am. Phew. My poor God Daughter...all she wanted was for it to be completed...and it just went on and on and on. She is a good girl. Love that kid.
With that out of the way the rest of Saturday seemed to fly on by....and then there was Sunday.
Got up..took care of the kiddo and then went to the grocery store. I think I spent way too much. But have groceries for the month for a tad over $200. Most of it being organic. I was so excited to see more items at my local grocery store available in organic. We've been trying for quite some time to go completely organic...even with our cleaning supplies. We're almost there. Just a few things to run out of and then we'll be an organic family...in the food and cleaing product sense. Our child has been fed almost all organic since she started eating real food. She is the reason we want to be healthier. It's a pretty good reason if I do say so myself!!!
After that painful-to-the-purse grocery trip, got home and took care of putting everything away and feeding Vi her lunch...we played and tried to take an afternoon nap...it went all kinds of wrong!!! We laid down (I was tired too!) at 2:30...by 4:30...lots of crying and fit throwing..I gave up. We let her play at bit and then at 5 layed down again. YAY...napped until 6:20 when I woke her up to eat dinner. She ate..then bath time and then...without much fuss she took her night bottle and layed quietly. She didn't go to sleep though (probably because of such a late nap!! ha ha) so putting her in her bed and closing the door by 8:30...she finally fell asleep by 9! Hate to stick her in there by herself now because at 15 months the tiny thing that she is has learned how to climb out of her crib!!! So we like to make sure she is good and tired or asleep before putting her in there. She is in that in between stage...too big for her crib but too small for a toddler bed. We may have to get the toddler bed soon anyway....for peace of mind!
It's Monday and I'm excited to meet my pregnant friend Andrea for lunch. I can't wait to catch up with her. The last time I saw her was at her wedding last year!!!
Happy Monday

Orange and Pink?
So I changed the background...semi nifty....hmmm
Still messing with it...well, no..technically..I'm working.
Shhhhhhh
Still messing with it...well, no..technically..I'm working.
Shhhhhhh
So glad it's Thursday!!!
I am so ready for Thursday...not because anything special is happening..just that, well it's closer to the weekend!! YAY!!!
I'm thinking of changing the look of this blog. It's pretty boring! I was kind of surfing other blogs and noticed everyone has the great headlines and photos at the top. How do you do that???
I want my blog to be pretty!! OK, maybe not pretty..but neater? ha ha. I'm kind of off my rocker I think.
Anyway...anyone out there...reading..help???
OH and I swear my daughter is the best medicine. When you are having a rough day and you need a little bit of laughter (because for some reason it's just not happening!) just sit down and appreciate your children. Last night, taking a breather just before getting her ready for bed, she took my hand and marched me over to her bows and started trying to put them in her hair! So funny. I started by putting one bow in..then she handed me another and another, until they were all in her hair!! She smiled and was so proud! She just loved looking at her little reflection in the mirror.
Precious!

sooo tired....
Had a so much going on yesterday when I got home. Didn't get to take Vi on her bike ride. Poor girl.
I won't go into all the details of how the night went...like I usually do..but DANG! ha ha BUSY!
Got the baby in bed by 9ish. I was so tired I went upstairs to bed shortly after. At around Midnight Vi woke up..really upset..crying and seemed a bit scared. Nathan (my hubby) tried to calm her down but she just didn't want to go back to sleep. I layed on the couch with her and she started to calm down..but about 30 minutes after she was quiet....she started whimpering again. I looked at her and realized her eyes were closed. She was having bad dreams. Poor baby!! How can they have bad dreams at 15 months old? Just broke my heart. I consoled her with a soft voice and gentle rocking...seemed to work..but she started up again around 1:30ish. Finally by 3:30 she was asleep for around an hour or so. Tucked her back into bed and went upstairs.
Today she goes in for her 15 month Dr. appointment. Hubby is there with her right now. We take turns taking her in so that neither of us have to take too much time off of work. I think she has to get shots today. She is usually a super trooper when it comes to getting shots...so I'm not too worried about it.
She's trying to open and close her cup...she looks so tiny in this picture...and she so tall!!

This weekend was crazy!!!!!
Zero time to myself...wow..it was INSANE!
Friday was slow enough..but Saturday was crazy.
Woke up, took care of baby...passed her off to hubby to get ready for a bridal shower. Left house, played chauffer to two family members, drove an hour to the shower..stayed for 2 hours, drove an hour back, got home, hubby passed the baby to me...took her on a bike ride, played, made dinner, hubby got back from golf, fed him...got baby ready for bed...and got her to sleep...all in time to go to bed at 9:30 on a Saturday night! ha ha
Sunday, woke up early, got baby taken care of..passed her off to hubby and went to Student/Sponsor meeting with my God Daughter...couple of hours in and we had most of the information we needed for next weekend...took her to lunch, got home, fed hubby leftovers from lunch (fajitas...YUM) then played with baby, he went to play golf, took baby for a walk or a bike ride rather..on her "GEE-GA-CA" which is how she says bicycle...then, got home, she played a bit more, hubby came home with pizza and wine...just in time...however...my darling daughter did not want to sleep!!! Finally she was asleep around 10:30...and we finally got to bed around 11.
Somehow in between all of that on both days I managed to keep the downstairs some what clean and put away Violet's laundry. The only "person" in our family that got a bit negleted was the cat. P. Poor thing. Ended up locked in the upstairs bathroom on Friday for a good 3 hours..and no one noticed! How awful is that!!??
It was a good weekend though. I can't complain....I didn't have to be at work! ha ha
Now it's Monday and here I am at work....
Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day.
Friday was slow enough..but Saturday was crazy.
Woke up, took care of baby...passed her off to hubby to get ready for a bridal shower. Left house, played chauffer to two family members, drove an hour to the shower..stayed for 2 hours, drove an hour back, got home, hubby passed the baby to me...took her on a bike ride, played, made dinner, hubby got back from golf, fed him...got baby ready for bed...and got her to sleep...all in time to go to bed at 9:30 on a Saturday night! ha ha
Sunday, woke up early, got baby taken care of..passed her off to hubby and went to Student/Sponsor meeting with my God Daughter...couple of hours in and we had most of the information we needed for next weekend...took her to lunch, got home, fed hubby leftovers from lunch (fajitas...YUM) then played with baby, he went to play golf, took baby for a walk or a bike ride rather..on her "GEE-GA-CA" which is how she says bicycle...then, got home, she played a bit more, hubby came home with pizza and wine...just in time...however...my darling daughter did not want to sleep!!! Finally she was asleep around 10:30...and we finally got to bed around 11.
Somehow in between all of that on both days I managed to keep the downstairs some what clean and put away Violet's laundry. The only "person" in our family that got a bit negleted was the cat. P. Poor thing. Ended up locked in the upstairs bathroom on Friday for a good 3 hours..and no one noticed! How awful is that!!??
It was a good weekend though. I can't complain....I didn't have to be at work! ha ha
Now it's Monday and here I am at work....
Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day.

She's growing up too fast..
My Violet...
She was very interested in a flower...but I couldn't help snapping a picture of her profile.
My sweet baby.

So happy for my friends!
I'm pretty bad at this blogging thing. I forget to write in it. No one is reading it anyway! ha ha
I just have to shout out that I am so happy for Ben and Lauren!!! They have received a beautiful gift from God. Eden!!! Such a beautiful little girl. They have adopted her and will get to bring her home soon.
Congratulations to two of the most beautiful human beings I know. I am so happy for you!!!
God is so good.

I've been slightly busy...
Wow...I really have been out of touch with my little online journal!
Sad thing is...nothing much to report!
Homelife is great...wish I was at home more often!
Worklife...is well, work! I have a new office mate. We shall see how it goes. I lucked out with my first one and we are just the best of friends. I'm not sure how this one will go. She's very often sick and always has a nagging cough. I am not sure I can handle it or how to even approach it if I get upset. I'll have to really learn to be patient in here....ha ha that's a good one...isn't it?
I'll catch up more later...
