5-7-2011

Short post for today! After a long night at work, I finally came home with achey legs and a sore body! Apparently my mind wasn't done working yet because every dream I remember, I was at work!!! GGRRRR!!! I hate it when that happens. I feel like I don't get any sleep!






Anywho... Hope everyone has a great day!

FOR TODAYOutside my window... Hot, hot, hot but lots of blue skies!



I am thinking... I am ready for the weekend to be over!



I am thankful for... sleep, even unrestful sleep



From the kitchen... nothing, gotta go back to work @ 7pm



I am wearing... imagine this... my pjs! :-)



I am creating... this blog... amazing I know!



I am going... to grab a bite to eat with Pat and Jake and then off to work!



I am reading... nothing @ the moment



I am hoping... Work is not as busy tonight!!! We were FULL on both floors last night, and I was in charge!



I am hearing... Pat talk... not sure about what, not paying much attention



Around the house... Jake is wreaking havoc



One of my favorite things... sharing a snack of animal crackers with Jake



A few plans for the rest of the week... finish the work week!

May 6th, 2011

Good morning everyone! Not sure how many of you are actually reading this, but good morning to anyone who is! I had a wonderful time last night just hanging out with Candace, Sara, Becky, Theresa, and Erin! Sara had decorated her patio beautifully and made the evening feel special! Thanks Sara for putting so much effort into the ambiance of the night!

While I was at my GNO last night, Pat went to an informational seminar for a new product line that a friend of mine from work has been raving about! I have to say, I tried the energy supplement and feel 1000 times better today than I have all week! Hell all month! I will be investing in some! Thanks Denise for opening this door for me! YOU ROCK!!!

Anywho... I am getting off my keister and putting some of this energy to good use! I have plenty of dishes and laundry to keep me occupied for the day. I wonder if the weather has made up its mind about what the temperature is going to be??? I have been putting off switching out the winter clothes for the summer clothes because everytime I get ready to, we have a cold spell. What do you all think???



FOR TODAY
Outside my window... Beautiful day! No clouds, only about 60 degrees right now! May have to take a walk when Jake gets up from his nap!
I am thinking... about getting some laundry done today, and doing some dishes!
I am thankful for... My friend, Denise, introducing me to a new product, Xyng... I have an amazing amount of energy this morning, despite the fact that I woke up with a pounding headache! Thanks Denise!
From the kitchen... other than dishes??? lol! Thinking spaghetti and meatballs for dinner... What are you having tonight?
I am wearing... pajamas still! I really need to work on getting dressed earlier in the day! I can hear the Flylady in my head "dressed to the shoes as soon as you are out of bed!"
I am creating... a routine to help me get my CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) under control. Babysteps!
I am going... to the grocery store hopefully after Jake's nap! Almost out of baby wipes (no good!) and dog food!
I am reading... Continuing the Eighth Grade Bites!
I am hoping... that my energy level remains as it is right now!
I am hearing... peace and quiet! I LOVE naptime!
Around the house... My bed is made, the living room straighted (ie. toys picked up), now on to the dishes and laundry!
One of my favorite things... naptime for Jake! :-)
A few plans for the rest of the week... Work for the next 3 nights!
Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...

My bird's nest that has been there for 3 years... the last 2 years we have had robins, but not this year. Not sure what kind of birds we have this year. So far I have only seen momma and daddy birds, no babies yet!


Hope everyone has a great day!

May 5, 2011

FOR TODAY
Outside my window... Beautiful blue skies with cotton ball clouds! The trees have all greened up and the grass is getting green!
I am thinking... I should be outside planting my garden! If only I was sure the weather was going to stay this nice! I planted my strawberries a few weeks ago and I will be lucky if they don't all die because of the frost we have had lately!
I am thankful for... my family and friends!
From the kitchen... Cherry braid is rising for the family while I am gone tonight with friends to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (Margarita's are in the freezer for tonight's get together!)
I am wearing... I am still in my pajamas unfortunately! As soon as Brent or Pat get's home, I am taking a shower and getting dressed!
I am creating... my blog from scratch... again!
I am going... over to Sara's house for quesadillas and margaritas tonight! Can't wait!!! Love GNO!!!
I am reading... Eighth Grade Bites by Heather Brewer... Brent picked it up from the book fair at school the other day and I thought I would read it first so I could quiz him along the way. :)
I am hoping... That my energy levels are better tomorrow! I have had NO energy the last 3 days!
I am hearing... Special Agent Oso on Disney Channel... Boy do I miss Blue's Clues!
Around the house... Jake has been a terror today! He has dumped out all of his toys and dropped his cereal from snack! Guess I better get busy cleaning it up! Ha!
One of my favorite things... Hanging out with friends! Is it 7pm yet???
A few plans for the rest of the week: Starting tomorrow night, I work for 3 nights (12 hr shifts)
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Brent and Kyle climbing in the tree in the front yard a couple of nights ago!




Have a great day!

A fresh start...




Happy Cinco de Mayo! (or 5th of May for those of you who don't know basic spanish!)








I am trying this whole blogging thing yet again. I have had several post I have tried to post on Posterous.com but for some reason, I am not able to complete my posts! Nor have I been able to post replies on Candace's blog so I am switching back to Blogger.com! We will see how this works!








I was inspired to start blogging again after watching and reading Tracy's blog @ http://www.heartonmysleeveblog.com/. I am actually beginning my journey through weight loss surgery also. Like Tracy, I have chosen to have a sleeve gastrectomy. My husband, Pat had lap-band surgery in December of 2009 and has lost over 120lbs!!! He has been such an inspiration to me to get my weight loss on a roll!




I will post my before pictures hopefully with the next post!






Everybody enjoy a margarita and some queso and chips for Cinco de Mayo!
