ahhh suki suki!

Well now,  I hope everyone has had a marvelous week!!  This was a very long week for me.  I was having trouble sleeping this whole week and today it really caught up with me.  I was so impatient today woofta!   Anyways...I am looking forward to the weekend!  Jay got half of the master bedroom painted today so tomorrow we will finish it up and then....da da daaaah....we are FINISHED painting...well....painting rooms anyways, haha.  Who knows what else will need a coat of color.  Our final room to decorate is the guest room, it has been painted for some time, but right now it has been a bit of a catch all room.  Soon enough!  Our goal is to be completely finished with the inside (with what we can afford anyways) by summer.  For now, however, I am off to bed.  Have a fabulous weekend friends!

My Girls

Tonight the girls danced at halftime of the basketball game.  They did so good and looked so cute.  After they were done, each of them came up and gave me a huge hug before they left, and told me to have a good weekend.  They melted my heart.  I needed this.  I have been so frustrated with other coaches lately that I have lost sight of things.  But these sweet girls are the reason I do this and they reminded me of that tonight. LOVE THEM!!

Gag!

So...tonight I went to exercises, went to dance and then went out for pizza with my bestie.  Let me tell you, I feel sooo sick right now.  I didnt eat hardly anything all day because I wanted to scarf on some pizza.  But after eating so well the last few weeks and feeling fabulous, and then eating 4 pieces of pizza...ugh.  To think I used to do that every week at least once...gag.  Even after only three weeks of eating healthier.  I am so disghusted.  Im just really glad I had exercises and dance class tonight to help offset haha.  I came home after eating and had to play "Just Dance" on WII and did two dances and had to stop because I was so sick to my stomach haha.  yuck.  Anyways, I am so glad that I am finally committed to doing this!  I feel great and on top of it I lost 7 pounds last week!  YAY!  Anyways...I had to share.  Hope you all are having a fabulous week!

Wintertime Blues

It's12:30AM as I start this.  I am exhausted but find myself unable to relax and sleep.  I am hoping that getting up, futzing around for a bit and then trying again will help. 

The past few weeks have been busy, yet uneventful.  Between work and other obligations I am beginning to become worn out and bored.  I like my job enough to get up and go to it every day, but I wouldnt be sad to leave it for something else. Although I would probably go back to visit quite often with the Residents, since they are the only reason I keep going back to work (besides the paycheck :-).   Jay still has yet to find a job so we are scraping by by the skin of our teeth leaving no money for entertainment of any kind.  So, we play cards or board games or WII together,which I love and usually have a good time doing, but I am severely craving something a little more thrilling than another Friday night with the hubs and The Game Of Life.   We need some excitement in our lives!  I want to go somewhere!  I want to do something!!  I have a severe case of the "Winter Blues"  While I love snow and winter, I don't like the short days and the lack of fun stuff to go do if you don't own equipment of some sort (skis, snowmobiles, skates,etc.) and I can only build so many snow men before I start to wimper at the thought of another Saturday afternoon rolling around in the snow (which has all melted and made a giant sloppy muddy mess of our driveway) 

JEEZ BITCH BITCH BITCH!!!!  Sorry guys...it's those winter blues complaining!  At least the days are starting to get a little longer, and before we know it, it will be spring and time to plant the gardens.

Shedding the ol L.Bs

So...I started this weight loss challenge at work.  I am really excited about this.  It goes until the end of March and my goal is to lose 30 lbs by then so approximaely 3lbs a week. I have been doing pretty good so far, I think, but we just started last week and my next weigh in is tomorrow so I will see how I am doing then.  Wish me luck!

Motivation!!! I have found thee!!!

Holy Moses!  I have been without motivation for...well...quite some time now.  Today...I have found it!  I came home from a productive day at work. Cooked a delicious nutritious meal, and cleaned the house!  Dusted, swetp, vacuumed, mopped and organized a little.  I usually save these deeper cleans for the weekends, and just pick up during the week, but I had so much energy when I got home that I decided to just do it and now I can have my weekend to do something fun, or get our office and guest room all done.  I am hoping my productivity is here to stay and not just a fly by energy burst.

I Would Die For That

I can relate to this in so many ways!! 

I Would Die For That
Kellie Coffey

Jenny was my best friend.
Went away one summer.
Came back with a secret
She just couldn't keep.
A child inside her,
Was just too much for her
So she cried herself to sleep.

And she made a decision
Some find hard to accept.
To young to know that one day
She might live to regret.

But I would die for that.
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that she had.
I would die for that.

I've been given so much,
A husband that I love.
So why do I feel incomplete?
With every test and checkup
We're told not to give up.
He wonders if it's him.
And I wonder if it's me.

All I want is a family,
Like everyone else I see.
And I won't understand it
If it's not meant to be.

Cause I would die for that.
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that they have.
I would die for that.

And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life.
For that kind of love,
What I'd give up!
I would die for that.

Sometimes it's hard to conceive,
With all that I've got,
And all I've achieved,
What I want most
Before my time is gone,
Is to hear the words
"I love you, Mom."

I would die for that.
Just to have once chance
To hold in my hands
What so many have
I would die for that.

And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life.
How I would love
What some give up.
I would die ...
I would die for that.
