"Weigh In"

It's been a week since I sent in my "weigh in" pic for the challenge and I have lost 2lbs. WOOHOO!!!!! I've done pretty good this week. Tried to eat good and sensibly. Still not working out because of the "bum" knee. I go back to the dr. on Jan. 23 and I am hoping to get a "pass"/all clear to at least start walking again. Then at least I know I can start up on the Wii Fit because that is just not that strenuous. Doing somethings on it are, but not everything.

We are going see Cirque Do Solieu (sp??) today. It's the KOOZA that is traveling through Atlanta for a few weeks. Gerald got tickets through work and we are getting the VIP/Royal treatment. We have a suite to go to before the show to eat in and meet and greet some people. Then we have EXCELLENT seats. During intermission we get to go back stage and meet some of the characters. We also have a parking pass, which in Atlanta is TOTALLY SPECTACULAR!!!! It's like have a parking pass at an LSU game.....lol I will post pics in my next post. I am exited. Gerald and I have been to 3 Cirque's before, but I have a feeling this will be the most exciting experience..... The "O" in Vegas was AWESOME, but our seats are valued at OVER $200 a piece for this show, so I have a feeling we will be UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL for this event!!!!

TFN!

BACK TO SCHOOL!!!

Woohoo!!! The kids are back in school, the kids are back in school!!!! I am so happy!!!!! It's a new year!!! Too bad it's raining today. It's been raining for over 12 hours now. I drove Turner to school today and I think over half of his school was driven to school, which means approx. 600 kids were driven to school today. The traffic was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD and worse by the time I got out of the carpool line. I am SOOOOOOOO TIRED and the weather isn't helping. I have been making my own lattes w/my new espresso machine, but today I HAD TO HAVE my Starbucks!!!!! OMG!!!!! I need the real deal FIX!!!! I didn't sleep well last night or the past 3 nights for that matter. I am determined to stay up today (not nap), so I can hopefully be exhausted and sleep good tonight. I have to get my school sleeping schedule back "on". Turner does too. He DID NOT want to get up and when he did he DID NOT want to go to school and was actually MAD because I made him....HELLO!!! Did he REALLY think I would let him stay home and SLEEP and then do the same thing all over again Wednesday!!!???!!! I think not. Whatever!!!!

Off to watch the Bachelor from last night and see what fools the women make of themselves!!!

TFN!

Family...

I just wanted to post this pic of my 2 kiddos and my 2 nieces, Kelsea and Alex. Kelsea moved into an apartment by LSU while we were in Baton Rouge for the holidays. It makes me feel old....and sad. She's not a baby anymore. Before I know it Alex will be moving out and then Turner and Madison too. I just want to slow down life a little..... I also posted some other pics from our trip home.....

TFN!

Happy New Year

Hello out there!! It's been a while. The holidays are over and everything is getting back to normal around here. Or as normal as can be..... Almost all the decorations are down and back in the basement. I love saying that.... "the basement"...heehee!!! I get to do MOST of the work by myself. Well, that is, unless I want to "torture" Turner and have him haul boxes up and down the stairs and "earn" his allowance and listen to him complain. Oh the joys of motherhood. All we have left to bring down to "the basement" is our trees. One of them is halfway through being undecorated and the other is through and just needs to be brought down. I think this is a RECORD for me having de-xmas'd my house...inside and out....especially the outside!!!!! I usually wait until after the kids are back in school, but they have more time off here then they did when we lived in Mandeville and my stuff has been out since BEFORE Thanksgiving, so I was getting a lil' tired of it all and my cleaning lady comes Wed., so I really wanted it all GONE!!!!

I am doing a weightloss challenge with some friends. We are all putting up $40 and whoever loses the most weight/percentage by May 1 wins all the MONEY!!! So far there is 16 of us in the challenge. I have lost 13lbs since late Sept., so I am hoping to add more to it!!!! Wish me luck!!!!! The pic is of me on the scale w/my DREADFUL starting weight. We had to send the pic in w/our money to my friend, Heather, who is our challenge leader.
