My new diet.

Well today I am starting a new day for me. I had a horrible weekend and think its time for me. I'm not gonna worry about much of anything anymore. Or pretty much what is out of my control.
So today I want to start taking control of my weight. I want to start Weightwatchers. Today was the first day and it went rather well. I am going to use this blog to keep track of what I am doing and how far I have come.

Breakfast:
6 peanut butter crackers   4
coffee 2

Lunch:
Weight watcher mac and cheese 6
6 peanut butter crackers 4
tea 2

Supper:
crockpot beef and peppers 6
rice 3
6 peanut butter crackers 4
1 weight watcher cookie 1

I will edit as I eat since I have more points left.

Up too early!!

Well it is 6am and I am up way to early. Not sure what got me up, but here I am. Bored out of my mind. I could be cleaning but I don't want to wake up everyone eles. Facebook games are getting pretty boring also.
Was at moms yesterday to take Bubba to Pappys to go camping. Just to get some away time from him. Going pretty good so far, don't miss him yet. I think Jake does. He keeps asking when Bubba coming home.
When at moms she had me pick some liliacs from her bush. Brought a couple home and decided to pick some of mine. Oh and the tastykake box behind is what I am eating now with my coffee. Such a peacful morning. Just the sounds of Rono snoring in the living room.

Saturday!

Had a pretty good day today. After sleeping nearly 12 hours of needed sleep, got up and made eggs and bacon. Then we got ready and went to Maw's house and mowed the lawn. Well actually Rolando mowed and I picked up some Boo's poo. Stinky shit. Literally. Then me and Bubba went to goodwill got some clothes and went to get coffee. Spent some time with Mom and had fun.
Came home and Rolando played outside with Jake and me and Bubba went to walmart. I hate that store but it is cheap. Came home and made enchiladas. Asked Rolo if they were good and he said they tasted like the salsa came from a can. I didn't tell him I cheated and used tomatoe sauce instead of fresh tomatoes. Oh well, he should be lucky I made him anything to eat. ;)

Why Me!!!

Well haven't written in my blog for a while. Things have been so busy for me with work. I'm always tired, but thankful I still have a job. Kids have been a handful and working 10 hours a day really takes a toll on my "getting" old body. The past year I am really starting to feel old. Even the grey hair. OMG still not believing the grey hair. Also starting to see more of it.
Bubba got his 3rd marking period report card. Not good at all. Failing all subjects. Really not thinking he will pass the 7th grade. I will be so disappointed if he doesn't pass. I think it shows all the mistakes I have made with him over the years. I really want to be different with him, but sometimes I don't know if I just don't know what to do, or really don't want to try anymore. I don't want to give up but sometimes it seems easyer that way. I am hoping to be different with Jacob, but that one is even starting to take a bad route. I think I should take parenting classes. But then it's like I know how to do it, I just don't follow through with things. I need to make my kids priority #1, which I haven't done in the past. Sometimes I wish I was a stay at home mom and maybe my kids would be better for it. Are they missing out on a good mother and life becuz of my working? I think about that all the time. I think it is time to reevaluate my career (dead end job) and see if it is really worth it.
I am also addicted to facebook. I think them games are taking up too much of my time. I can't seem to get away from them. And it feels like every week a new game is coming out and I just need to play it. So I feel I need to spend hours getting through all these games everyday to keep up with my "online" friends.
So much going on in my head lately. Just don't know how to process it all.
My parents are getting old and need more help. I love helping them, but they are getting too old too fast for me. I just hope they will be around to give me advice on the teenage years that I will soon be going through with my boys. God knows I will need all the advice and help I can get with that.
I am just thankful I have a great husband, healthy kids, great parents, and an awesome friend that keep me sane and sometimes insane.

What a gorgeous weekend.

Well the weekend was so nice. It was nice to just be outside smelling fresh air and hearing the birds sing. Watching the boys play and have fun. Didn't think it would ever come.
Yesterday Allison and Mom came and I actually watched Twilight. I can't believe I watched that movie. But I was more amazed I loved that movie. I can't wait to see New Moon. Edward really is a cutie.
Today got up late and made kids breakfast. Didn't get much done around the house. Went down to moms and me and Pappy went to give Bear a bath. I think she really enjoyed it. It was fun give her a bath. It's almost like giving a human a bath.
Just finished Jake's school project for tomorrow. He had to make a poster of his family and things he likes. Now it's dark and I must get ready for work tomorrow. Not excited about that, but it must be done.

Burned electrical lines!!!! oh my!!!!

Well we came home last night to find a weird burning smell. Well my Rono checked all the heaters and while I watched I was looking at the thermostat. Well saw brown marks on the wall. Come to realize the wires all burned up in the thermostat. Called the electrician to come out. 24 hours later and 192 dollars we got a new thermostat. Wow emergency visits can be very expensive.

Jury Duty

Boy first time ever for jury duty and all I can say is BORING!!!! I had no idea going into it that I could be that bored sitting check to check with 50 people. I did get picked for 2 cases next week. So I guess it is back to work tomorrow.
Atkins is going great. I am on day 8 and down 10 pounds. I feel wonderful. It is easiler than I thought. I did find some recipe sites so next week is gonna be even better. This diet is so good. I have so much energy that I never had before. I am grateful.

So I guess that is another thing to add to my list of grateful.  I am grateful for Dr. Atkins.
