Slowly Going Back Down...

Yea for me!

Two weeks in a row I have had a significant weightloss on the scale. Praise the Lord!

After doing really well, and getting down close to my goal weight, winter decided to set in hard and cold, thus bringing lack of ambition and sick children. So after missing 1 1/2 months of WW meetings, my weight slowly crept back up.

So here I start the beginning of my Spring working on the weight I've gained over the winter. But I'm driven to do it.

I just need to learn that my weight is something I'm always gonna have to watch. I wasn't blessed with a speedy metabolism or with a naturally thin body.

I learned alot about myself over the winter months, so hopefully when next winter hits....I'll be prepared.

-2 pounds this week.....Till Next Time.

Everybody Needs A Little Girl In Their Life

This week, my 5 year old has been home for Spring Break. I remember my Spring Break's growing up and that was always a very fun time.

So I wanted to continue the tradition for my little girl. I didnt' want her moping around the house all week with nothing to do, so I got brave.

I let her have a sleepover. And was it a blast!

She invited 3 girls over, which were sisters, but all very close in age. They were so well-behaved!

And I think they even had fun. =)

We made homemade pizza, ate cookies, painted fingernails and toenails, and watched movies. They giggled well into the night.

And the giggles, my friend, were well worth it. That's why I say everybody needs a little girl in their life. Everybody needs to hear that giggle. Boys laugh, but they don't giggle. And I loved the giggling in my house on Monday night.

What A Fun Day!

Okay, so have you lived until you've packed about 6 vehicle fulls of teachers, parents, and 3, 4, and 5 year olds and trucked them off to the local fast food joint and then the FFA Petting Zoo.

That was me today, along with 2 teachers, several moms, and even a dad or two, and about 35 K3, K4, &K5 aged children.

What a fun day! The kids had a ball. They all got a kids meal to enjoy, then they got to enjoy the farm animals. Most of the kids are from the city and don't get to enjoy the big animals. Their excitment was great. For the most part they all behaved and by the Grace of God, this is field trip #2 for the year, and we haven't lost one student yet. LOL.

Todays field trip also brought back memories for me. I was very involved in FFA in High School and I loved every minute of it.

I miss not having any farm animals around. But I loved the smell of the shop, with the smell of the animals and all the smells that come with them.

I hope the kids enjoyed it as much as I did.

Checking In

Hi..

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while. The blogging kind of takes a back seat to "life". It's been a crazy week.

I've had some exciting things happen this week and some not so exciting things. Just trying to sort it all out has my head spinning.

My dad is here for the weekend, and that's exciting. Love it when he gets to stop by. Love it more when he gets to go to church with us. The kids love having him here.

Hopefully, next week will be a little less crazy. I have some new things I want to start on my blog, so hopefully those will start popping up.

I don't really care if anyone is reading this, it's just a place for me to sort out all the things in my head.

Till Next Time.....
