The Droid

Sooooo... I got the Droid!!! And it was free!!!! I love BOGO!!! Love my Droid. Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it!




Woke up at 4:15 am this morning to our daughters ages 2 & 4 jumping into our bed. Now this bed is basically the size of a full size bed. So not so much room. So I got up and went to the gym. Did my workouts. My knee is still messed up from slipping on the ice. I really think I messed it up. I could only do 20 minutes on the elliptical, whereas usually I do 45 minutes. But haven't been able to since I fell. Errr! I need to get back into the swing of working my butt off. It's hard when you can't exercise as hard as I want to. But I'm not gaining I am just not loosing at the pace I would like to.

Nap time after the War of Banana's

Oh how I love nap time. The joys of mommy's quite time is so a necessity! Today we had the war of banana's. Here is how it all started. So we had banana's as a snack today. The 4 year olds (Mason & Maya) got a whole banana. Everyone else (Jasperlyn 2, Brooklynn 1, Kadence 1) received a half. Kadence immediately shoves the entire 4 inches of banana all the way in her mouth and takes Jasperlyn's. Jasperlyn begins to scream. I give Jasperlyn another half, when I get back in the room Kadence has no evidence of banana. I ask her if she wants more, and she says yes. I go in the kitchen, as soon as I leave the room I hear Jasperlyn screaming again. I go in and Jasperlyn is on the floor, Brooklynn and Kadence each have a piece of Jasperlyn's banana. Which Brooklynn throws and runs to the time out chair as soon as she sees me. I leave the room again and come back to replenish the banana's for everyone. They all eat their pieces under my vigilant supervision. War averted... And yes if you are keeping count. Jasperlyn got half a banana, Mason got a whole one, Maya got a whole one, Brooklynn got 1 and 1/4, Kadence got 1 3/4. All ended up happy so that is what matters. And it is nap time! And so now I must exercise and do my homework. Nap time will be over before I even realize I am sure. Hoping for a continued peace treaty, do not need war of the Spaghetti O’s in 2 hours…

Love having a laptop so that I can sit in the play room and do my school work...or play on the internet like right now, typing up a new blog.  So wonderful!  I really thing the more I exercise and the more weight I lose the better my patience is and the more my energy grows. 

I love to exercise.  Especially at Snap.  I love that gym, it has all the equiptment.  It's still small enough that you pretty much know everyone that is there.  It is very comfortable to feel like you aren't in a gym filled with strangers, instead you are there with friends and work out buddies.  I only wish they had a free day care there for members so that I could take the kids and go...That would be perfect!  But I'll take what I can get. 

I need to find a happy medium with all the things in my life.  i need to figure out how to keep myself destressed.  I do so well and then I just lose it.  I don't know why I let my self get so stressed that I just have to go work out or I feel as though I may die.  Maybe it depends on how much I burn.  The more I burn the more the destressing works, maybe...

Jasperlyn seems to be potty trained so that is nice.  Not too bad for being 13 months old.  Yeah!  No more diapers!  Super duper!  Now I just have to get the kids I babysit for to stop with diapers.  Earlier this week I walked upstairs to get the 1 year old twin girls I babysit for up from nap and one of them had removed her diaper, this is not too unusual.  But this time it was full of poop!  Se had smeared poop everywhere.  I took her downstairs put her in the bath tub and gave her a shower.  She didn't like it much, but it's the best and easiest way to get a poop covered baby sucessfully cleaned!  Now both girls nap in diapers that have been securely wrapped with ducktape!

blah

Here it is Thursday.  Just another day.  I am supposed to go to a 31 gifts party tonight.  But of course all the kids are sick.  I also haven't just been home doing nothing in like ever! I feel stretched thin.  It's like time is flying by and I can't catch up. 

Last night we all went to Olive Garden.  The kids love that place.  Not to mention that Paul and I love that place too! 

The weigh in

Well today is the big weigh in day… Ugh. I wish I had more to show for it. I am not quitting of course. In 70 pounds I will be at a “normal” weight. That will be where I want to stay. I want to be healthy and happy. I want to live a long life with lots of joy filled memories. I want to be a better Christian, mother, teacher, student, home keeper, etc. There is so much that I want to accomplish, I hope to keep it as real and honest as possible. I want to see constant improvement in my life and feel the joy of others that I can help and be there form I hope that my life will be a joyous help to others.

I need to get a new a new phone. Mine just keeps randomly shutting off. It is an enV3. It is driving me crazy! I don’t know what to replace it with or what. But something needs to be done.
