Salad

so thats my craving right now. Salad of any kind!

Wednesday I had Caesar for lunch and a green salad with black beans and steak for dinner from Chipotle. Thursday I had another caesar for lunch and then a green salad for dinner with cucumber, red onions, olives and oil and vinegar. Today I am thinking something with chicken!!

I am a HUGE coffee drinker....now even the smell makes me GAG. Which is good, useless calories!! I am back to drink large quantities of water and slowly cutting out my soda.

I am taking the generic for zofran which is helpful. Its a 12 hour pill, but only works for about 4 hours. But those 4 hours are wonderful! My insurance will only cover 12 pills at a time so I will be visiting Walgreens alot. Although that reminds me they just opened a CVS right by my house...might be time to check that out!

My daughter just turned 4. She has asked several times for a little sister. I have told her several times there will be no more babies..she has a brother and that is that. LOL So when we told her the other night..the first words out of her mouth were "SEE I have been telling you I wanted a little sister" So I hope for her sake its a girl.

I have 3 cake orders and an order for 30 cake balls to finish up tonight for tomorrow. Two are for my best friends kids and we will going to their party tomorrow. Princess and Spiderman! Should be fun to make!

Well there ya go....

I'm back, I know I said that a few weeks ago, but as you can tell had a little surprise pop up!

We went from being done...a few weeks away from the big vasectomy to PREGNANT!! I was on the pill so I think I am due May 17th. However my Doctor said I was feeling smaller more like 5 weeks so he put me down for May 24th. I will have an u.s in a few weeks to find out for sure.

I am scared, nervous, excited, worried, you know all the emotions that come with being pregnant. This time sadly I weigh more than I have getting pregnant with either kid. Fortunately/unfortunately I get SICK AS A DOG when prego and not just for a little bit, like for weeks...months!! I am averaging about 3 trips to the bathroom a day, doesn't matter what or when I eat.

So for the net chunk of months I will use this blog to keep myelf in check...and NOT gain 45lbs like I did with my other two.

I hope some of you come back and read...I got a new computer at work and am able to read blogs easier again, so I am coming to check up on you!!!

im still here...........

Thanks to those of you who checked in on me. I am still here, holding strong...just SO busy and overwhelmed! I will be back to posting next week!

bad day

Yesterday started out great. Got up and walked 2 miles. Had my oatmeal and then COFFEE. UGH Why did I GO THERE! I was clean for almost 2 weeks....then that one slip got my mind wondering on other things....and got stuck on TACO BELL. So I ate it..and enjoyed it.

Today I am back on track! Hoping my one cup of coffee didnt ruin me and give me headaches again. I am hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow...a loss is a loss at this point for me.

I still have not heard back from my moms atty on her will and what needs to be done with her car. I got 2 new cake orders yesterday, which is AWESOME! Hubby has an interview at a gym near our house tomorrow (FREE memebership, wouldnt that be a blessing)! My daughter started AWANAS last night at church. There is nothing like hearing a 3 year old memorizing bible verses!

Tomorrow morning is a garage sale to hopefully get rid of bins and bins of toys and clothes my kids have outgrown. Once they are settled in bed for naps, I am off to the outlet stores, dinner, a night in a hotel and then spending saturday at the beach (and more shopping) with a big group of ladies from church. Praying I can do good at the garage sale so I have money to spend at the outlets. Really all I need is a few bras. The ones I have are old, unflattering and stick me in weird places.

**again my is my spacing all weird....hard to read such a jumbled post!

Hello...Hello...Hello

Ok not sure how I went this long without posting...but probably because I didn't do my weigh in either. I think I lost, but now I wont weigh again until Friday to see my two week total.

Things are CRAZY around here. Hubby and I are making some big decisions that will affect our lives for the next several years. First we decided to consolidate our credit card debts, this is saving us money each month and we have an END date as to when they will be paid off.

The 2nd thing is our house. We bought our house from my dad and my uncle a little over 3 years ago when the housing market was INSANE. We paid a lot for it and are now having trouble paying the mortgage. After much prayer and deliberation we decided to talk to them about our options. The outcome is they will take our house back and we will rent from them for 1K less a month. This will save us a lot of money as well as get us out of an ugly mortgage for a small house.

The bigger picture will be: Get our credit cards paid off in the next 2 years and buy something bigger for less money. We paid 350K for a 1300 sq ft house and the houses on both sides of us are for sale for around 110K, so the market has dropped HUGE in the sticks where I live.

Also there now more drama with my moms estate. Its amazing to me that someone (my mom) who had hardly anything would result in the amount of drama we have had over "things". Her will stated that my brother and I were to split what she had, a car and a small amount of money in the bank. She also had LOTS of jewelry which she had left in a safe to me, but didn't specify this in her will. After going back and forth with my brother, I took all the jewelry with me when I visited him and we split it up. My aunt is in charge of her will and estate, she also had paid quite a large tax bill for my mom, so now feels she is entitled to some of the money in the bank. So now my brother, me and my aunt are going in circles trying to get this all resolved. We are talking LITTLE money here! Ugh Its insane.... I am hoping to get this resolved this week so we can figure out what to do with her car.

I am tired....I hate being an adult sometimes!

Good news..I have Friday off, me and a few gals are heading to Capitola for the night and doing a little shopping and hanging out at the beach. RELAXING !! AHH I CANT WAIT!

School daze....

This weekend went well other than two hours before the party was supposed to start a pipe in our backyard burst. 10 mins before the party was too start hubby got it fixed. WHEW! Since the party was outside AND we planned for the kids to swim, having no water was not an option. I ate a little too much nacho cheese dip but only had one piece of cake. Then Sat night, all day Sunday and yesterday I was ill. My stomach felt queasy and nothing I ate or drank settled it. Today I finally was feeling better, but as the afternoon has gone on, I feel ill again as well as a pain in my lower back. Not sure what is going on...maybe some early PMS coming on.

Today my daughter started Pre-K. She loved it, asked why we had to stay LOL! I am so excited for her to start this journey into school, friends, an actual life outside of our house...daycare etc. Remind me of this when she starts liking boys and wanting my keys ;) They had the parents stay for the first hour and then we left for orientation in the sanctuary. We came back at noon to get her and had lunch with my sisters and mom (both have kids going to the same school)

I haven't worked out since Friday, bad! Tonight hubby is home and so I can either go run or do my elliptical, but I WILL do something as well as eat salad! Tomorrow is back to running in the mornings. I have to get going on running again for my race in Sept. 10K this time.
