I've mentioned before, one of my very best friends, Cherie, is going along with us to Disney this year. I am so excited!
I am so bummed; all my favorite TV shows are coming to the 'season finale' stage. At least there will always be reruns to watch. I know a few people who have a Slingbox; seems like great way to make sure they don't miss a show.
The shows we watch are:
Better go buy some wrinkle filler because apparently I am OLD. At least according to my kids - to them I look ancient. I can't believe it! I never thought the day would come when *I* was the old person.
Now, really, I know I am not old - 36 is definitely not old at all (have I said that enough yet to convince myself?) What age is 'old' to you? Or are you only as old as you feel?
Look at how big my 'baby' has gotten - I can't believe he is 3 already and in pre-school.
So one of my BFFs, Cherie, is going to Disney with us in April. She recently lost close to 50 pounds through healthy eating and exercise - gee who would have thought? No weight loss pills or crazy (non) eating habits, just the basics. She likes to attend different classes at the gym she goes to and has been bugging me to go with her.
I honestly have no desire to do this - I've joined gyms before and never got anywhere. Waste of money if you ask me, but I think this time I may give it a whirl. It's a measly 30 pounds - that's all I want to drop and I have 3 months to do it in. This gym she goers to allows monthly membership so I can quit at any time. Maybe between going there and sticking to the treadmill I will be able to do this!
I suppose I should make use of this cold, quiet weekend. I already cleaned out a few 'junk drawers' and now I am contemplating a bathroom cabinet. Remember that skin care stuff, phisoderm? I found a bottle of that in the bathroom, tucked way in the back of the cabinet. Umm, yea, it's pretty old - I guess I better go through that cabinet.
In other 'excting' news, CJ and I are still waiting for a few more tax papers and then we'll file - we like to file early and honestly, this year is the latest we've waited. I don't care about the money we get back - I just hate having the whole tax thing hanging over my head.
Check out this night shot of the pool at Bay Lake Tower, it's amazing! I can't wait to go!
I've been blaming PMS for these sudden blemish appearances but I am beginning to think it's major stress. I suppose I'll have to regress back to my teen years and start using pimple cream! Can anyone point me in the direction of a good acne treatment review?
Anyway, part of the stress is due to kids and working from home. Yes, kids + full time job at home = stress. I need to figure out how to handle it better!
What a fun morning so far! I am not a fan of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana/whomeversheis but when Livi sings it, it melts my heart...LOL
Is it? I mean, I am all set! Got my lists written out, got new Kipling bags for the trip (they're nice!) and I already sent off the list of wedding favors I have chosen for my friend, the bride to be (that was my 'todo' task before the end of January) so why can't I just go NOW? Go where? HERE:
Not sure why Dante looks so pissy but check out Wyatt; he is super excited to go to school!
After I took this photo I had a mommy moment. No more diaper changes, no more toddler toys, no more baby things in general, I had 'big' boys. The tears just came streaming down. It was so bad I wore sunglasses when I drove the boys to school so they wouldn't see me crying.
Once we got to school it was like he had been going there forever. He just took his coat off and ran over to the toys with Dante and began playing. I spoke to the teacher, Mrs. Becker, for a few minutes. She was Olivia's preschool/pre-K teacher and I adore her. When I was ready to leave, Wyatt came up to me, hugged my legs and said, "Thank you for bringing me to school, mommy."
Yea, the tears welled up again. I can't believe he is in school already.
It's a brand new year and can't stress this enough, if you want to do something DO IT! If you have goals in mind work for them and achieve them. Take those medical coding training courses or start that childrens franchise already! Try on that doctors lab coat and see how good it feels to be what you strive to be.
Two years ago my plan was to work from home and make enough money to be able to pay our mortgage every month. Last year I surpassed that - now I pay for a Disney vacation home IN ADDITION to covering the mortgage!
Well, I did! Oh come on - the basement is refinished, complete with a samsung led hdtv hung on the wall, a VSmile game system, a karaoke machine (Hannah Montana of course), a Fisher Price Splatster game, a computer, a sofa, a love seat, a comfy chair, tons of kids toys, games and MORE...and guess what?
because he blogged!
CJ was yapping about Mustang parts and Mopar parts and what you can and can't use on his car. This blog of his 'Me and My Mustang' has been a LIFESAVER because not only does he talk about what he wants he usually links to a product page or website so I can actually see what he means!
I got him a a limited slip differential for his car. Yea, what the hell is that, huh? Something fr the rear end as far as I know, LOL
