I am the worst at sticking to things. The worst. I know why its so hard for me but what I don't know is how I let myself get back here. It's almost 2yrs since I started this journey and if I would have just stuck with it in the first place I would be at my goal or close to it by now. What's wrong with me??
I have been tracking. I track every day. My chooses are just...awful. I'm really not trying...

{Cavity Free!}
Owen had to have a dental check up this year for school, so I made his appointment at Just Kidz Dentistry.
We went there for all three kids last time and it was a truly enjoyable experience. They worked with Owen and tried to make it as pleasant an experience for him as possible. Of course he had to have laughing gas (twice) and he had to strapped down (which sounds worse than it is) but they got...

{Mom to the Rescue!}
Well that was a pain in the ass to say the least.
When I got my new laptop I decided to let the kids have my old one. I figured it'd be a good source of storage for all my pictures (other than the new computer and the portable hard drive) and music. But then the bad thing happened.
Someone went to coolmath (do not look that site up!) and got a shit ton of viruses from it. I don't know how....

{Breastfeeding & My Great Grandmother}
I had some struggles nursing Owen. He refused to open his mouth wide enough, once he got on there he was golden but getting him on was a bit of a bitch.

{Upstairs Revamp Part 4}
Who would have thought I'd be blogging about this again so soon. It seems like months between house update posts. Usually because it is. But now that we finally have some extra money (well, not so much extra..its just not going to child support anymore) we can get down to business. It seems like every time we start something though something always comes up and we have to put everything on hold for...

{Back to School Shopping!}
It is finally that time of year folks! The time of year that most (if not all) parents rejoice at the mere mention of. Yes, it's back to school time!
I for one am extremely excited about the coming event and can not wait to get this year under way. I'm taking the organized approach this year and making sure everyone is on track and where they should be right off the bat. Registration isn't until...

{Hot Chocolate in July}
Owen said "Mommy I want Olaf in my hot chocolate".
So that's what he got. Even though it looks nothing like Olaf lol. He was happy with it.
Side Note: What is going on with this damn rain? I'm getting really tired of it....

{Upstairs Revamp Part 3}
It feels like forever since I wrote about any remodeling we've done to this house. Honestly except for the bathroom (which still isn't finished a year later) we haven't had the money to do anything around here. Child support is over now though, so we are free and we can finally get this place the way it should have been!
Ever since we moved in I've thought it was silly that we only technically...

{School Supplies Already?!}
I was at Walmart today (a rarity these days since I prefer Target) and noticed they are putting out school supplies already. Can this be happening already? It's just now July. The kids didn't get out of school until the first week of June and they'll go back around the middle-end of August. It feels like summer goes by so fast these days. Maybe it always did and I'm just really noticing it now that...

{Final Doctor Visit #brokenankle }
Woo hoo I am medically cleared to return my life!! Because I've been patiently waiting to get that news and all. I have not already returned to said life.
You all know I'm lying through my teeth. I've been pretty much full throttle since I was able to walk without my crutches. But its nice to know that the doctor says I'm good.
In fact, he said that I was a fast healer and that he's surprised I'm...

{Weight Watchers Update}
Lord all mighty this is not easy. I'm failing so hard at this I can't stand it. My body hates me and it's obvious.
I have gained weight since my last update. I can see it in my face and I can tell it from pictures.

{Relaxing Sunday for Mom and Dad}
It has been a while since D and I got to spend some time alone. After the fireworks last on Saturday (since it's 3am on Monday morning right now), my grandma came to pick up Gaige and ended up taking all three with her. I don't know how that happened. I kept telling Owen that I really wanted to go on the bike with daddy and that he could spend some time at grandma's house. He finally caved. It's hard...

{Name Changes}
I was always under the impression that when I had babies, they would all be with the same man and we'd all have the same last name, and we'd be one happy family. I was clearly mistaken in my future lol.
Gaige has his sperm donors last name. Against my better judgement of course. I let him talk me into it. "He's the only boy" He said. "I'm the only one to carry on the last name." He said. Right. His...

{I have no Content}
When there is absolutely nothing going on in my life worth writing about my blog gets very very quiet. So quiet I can almost hear the crickets start chirping. But I vowed I would never be like some of those more popular blogs out there, reviewing items or getting paid to let others post on my site. I don't want that. Although I would love new readers, I don't want them bad enough to start selling...
