......

And Savannah and her boyfriend are back together..... and the drama saga continues........

Heart Broken and loose teeth...

Savannah's boyfriend broke up with her after school yesterday. It was so sad, she came out with tears dropping all over the place! She said he broke up with her because everyone wanted them to, so he did. After we got home, she went to her room and was crying so hard. I asked if she was going to be ok, and she said, "No, I have a broken heart".... As a mother, how is that not suppose to make me feel a broken heart too.. I felt so bad for her, and had to tell her that she will have to 'kiss' many frogs before she finds her prince. That made her feel a little better knowing that her boyfriend is a frog.... Poor kid, hopefully today will be ok for her. I told her to just ignore him and that will make him crazy. (she liked that idea)

Justin has a loose tooth!! His very first one. The other tooth is coming in stong and fast, so we need to get it out asap, but when we try, he freaks out and starts crying. We will try again tonight to get that tooth out....

That is all for now. I am recovering from being sick AGAIN this past weekend. I at least have my voice back, for now.....

Is it a Big Boat or a Little Boat??

We all know that kids will say the funniest, darnedest little things and it makes your eyebrow rise and thoughts roam.... Today was one of those days for me. We are in the potty training stage of the adventure with a toddler, and as I have been through this before with two other kids, I think this moment will stand out among any other bathroom day.

Aaron does not really like to poo in the potty. He will run around a corner for a couple seconds, do his business, then return and tell me that he pooped his underwear... So I ask him every morning around 10 (that is his pre-set 'poo' time) if he has to use the potty. Today was a good day, and he said yes! So off to the bathroom we go. I help him get up on the potty and get him situated, then I tell him to get his poopy out and I walk away, to give him his moment..

As I was walking away, Aaron said, "wait mommy.. stay right there". I told him I would be right back and did what I needed to do, then came to the door. I asked him if he was ok, and he said yes, and then he looked up at me, and said, "here comes the boat"...

Ups and Downs

I have had my ups and downs this week. I started off great with the "diet", and lost 2 pounds, but then... ate fast food 2x this week! So, I am still standing at 223. It is amazing at how hard it is to change your diet. Oh well, I have not beat myself up about it, and plan to just take it a day at a time. I got on the treadmill about 2 times last week, and today. I am steadily increasing my speed and time. I'm not disappointed, but I know I can do better. Like I said, one day at a time!!!!

Other than that I have had a pretty uneventful week. I had a fever through the weekend, but it was strange. I would have a slight fever for about 2 hours, then it would go away for a few hours then come back. My face would be all red and I would be out of breath going from one room to another. Monday I had the fever 2 times during the day, and then it was gone, and today it was here in the morning for about 30 minutes, but now (11am) it is gone. I do not know if I am fighting something off, or what?!! Anybody know what this could be from?

Last night we planned our cruise! Well, we booked it anyway. It is official we are going on a cruise! I cannot believe it! A REAL vacation! 7 days, no kids, just my man and me! It seems like a dream still!!! I am super excited and do not know if it will hit me until we actually are on the boat. I know we both need to get away from regular life for a while, and this is just going to be fun!

Well, I am off to get some homework done and wait for the housing repair dude to come. We have a leak in our fridge and water is coming from under it... and has been getting worse by the minute! I hope they get here soon.. ( So HAPPY that we are in housing for something like this) :)

Finally doing it!

I know about a month ago, I said that I was going to go low carb and detox.. Well, I haven't yet... Until today! It is 10:50am and I am doing fine so far. I guess it took me a while to "talk" myself into it. (shrug). Anyway, I have officially started this, and I will have positive results soon!

I still weigh the same, 223.4 with the same measurements. I will post weekly on my progress. This has always worked for me in the past, and I am sure it will work for me now. Just have to stay the course. I would like to post body shots to compare as the weeks go by. In July we are going on a cruise, and I would love to be about 20 pounds lighter. :)

Got to run, I have so much to do today! TTYL
