{Well that was unexpected)

Ugh. What a way to start the weekend. D woke me up this morning saying, "don't let anyone use the shower..I just broke the bottom." For those of you that don't know we have had a problem with this tub since we moved in. The people we bought it from never bothered to tell us that there was a massive...

{Nothing to Blog About}

So why not do a little survey? And since my anniversary is in just a few days, I will do one about my husband :). What is your man’s name? David. How long have you known each other? 11 years in May. What color are his eyes? Hazel I think lol. But most of the time I think they need to be brown ;) Where did you first meet your man? Match.com Were you friends before you dated? Nope. Where did you go...

{ #weightwatchers Week 11}

Last week I was 198.6 and this week I'm 198.8. Its literally starting to piss me off. This is pretty much the difference in me holding on to water. Which is pretty common with me. So next week I could be down 2lb like I was a couple weeks ago. It all depends. I'm trying to stay away from salty foods. I had McDonalds the other day for the first time in a while. Which probably didn't help the gain....

{Trust and the Teenager}

Tonight Cassie (16 almost 17) came to me and asked what friends she is actually grounded from. I told her that she isn't necessarily grounded from friends. She just isn't allowed to go do anything since we don't trust her. I also told her that she has only been in our house for 3 weeks. There is no way you can earn someone's trust back in that amount of time. She said we can see where she's at with...

{A full Summer}

I can not believe that in just a few weeks (June 5th) the kids will be out of school and the summer will officially begin. I am completely shocked that we all made it through this year alive lol. And then just a week after they get out of school I get to go to Chicago for another Backstreet Boys concert. I promise I won't talk about them too much ;) In August we are going to both Lookout Mountain...

{ #weightwatchers Week 10}

OK. So maybe I should lay off those delicious Kroger glazed donuts (that 8pp each! Yikes!). But they're so good! I still lost this week though. Itcertainly wasnt as much as i was hoping but something is better than nothing, or gaining. Right? I started the week at 199.4 and today I am 198.6. So that's...

{Updates & Ramblings}

Alrighty, well it's been almost 2 weeks since Cassie moved back in and so far things are going pretty good. D basically let's her know that I control where she goes and what she does and how long she's punished for. Which is a huge step up from him doing the exact opposite last time. Telling me one thing and then doing another when she was around. We have spent zero money on her as far as shopping...

{ #weightwatchers Week 9}

I can not even believe I'm posting this right now. When I weighed in last week at 201 I thought the most I would pull another lb and put myself at the 200 mark. But I didnt. I pulled another 2.4lb!! I can't even believe it!! I never thought I would lose 2lb in a week. I'm so excited to finally be...

{2 Steps forward...3 steps back}

We should just count on things never working out in our favor for more than a month or so at a time. As if Cassie moving in wasn't enough of a complete friggin upset, and an added expense, the basement is flooding. The floor drain just can't keep up with the melting snow this year. Dave has been down there off and on all day with the shop vac trying to keep it at bay so we don't end up with a swimming...

{Can I Just Take a Minute}

I just want to take a minute or 2 to say that I love my husband. He gets grouchy and annoying. He lashes out and says hurtful things sometimes. He can be a real pain in the ass and at times I wonder why the hell I chose him to spend the rest of my life with. And then there's moments when I am reminded why I love him and why I chose him. Take tonight for example. I had already sent the kids to bed...

{ #weightwatchers Week 8}

This week was pretty good. I stayed on program and made sure that I tracked everything. Basically if I put food or drink in my mouth, I broke out my phone to add it to my points. Even when I went to Chili's with my sister on Friday. I got right on my weight watchers app and made sure I wasn't eating...
