Waahooo!!!!!!!

Today is Wednesday....how's that for a brilliant thought!

I did my weigh in and ..........

5 more lbs are gone from me.... bringing the grand total to 23lbs!

And I know where they came from too! My feet, my hands, my face and my waist.
My Feet because my toe ring fell off and my shoes are getting looser,(so I put the ring back one and started wearing my sandles again!)
my face cause...well not sure why I can just see it...
my waist because my pants keep falling down (not trying to frighten anyone!)and I can zip them up out of the dryer without lying down!
And my HANDS!!!!!!!! I think that God has something special planned with this!

For the first time since before Chandler was born(except maybe a painful 1/2hr. here and there) I am wearing my wedding/engagment rings!! That alone has been worth it! I LOVE IT!!! I know that they are just symbols but to not wear them for that long( Chandler was 2 the begining of November, so 2 3/4 yrs) and then have them fit! Special and exciting! I love my husband and wearing these rings means that much more to me! God is good!

And tomorrow I leave him alone with all the kids, overnight too! What a nice way to show him how much me wearing these rings means! :P
I get a mini vacation, a night out of town with my Uncle and Aunt(oh Happy Birthday Aunt!) and a day of shopping! YEAH!!!!No kids, no worries....wait, yah, I will worry about them a little, soooo...no kids, little worries and a wonderful time of R&R and some shopping too! And because of how great I am doing...I will find a little reward for myself....Nevermind. Wearing these rings is reward enough!!!!But I am gonna do so me shopping! just cause! and other shopping and laughing and giggling , and sleeping and talking and some more laughing, and eating and wine ing, and oh well have lots of fun!

So on to another week, another day in the rest of my life! Yay me! Thank you God!

Happy Days!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday and today, the Lord has blessed two of my closest and favorite friends(sisters) another birthday. CONGRATS! It is a wonderful thing when a special person celebrates another birthday. May they both continue to be blessed by the Lord in this coming year. They do so much for others(and me!) that special mention of them is warrented. You both mean so much to me and our family. We have been blessed through you and love you both dearly. The Lord saw fit to bring us altogether and for that I am eternally grateful! May you both have wonderful days(both in expected and unexpected ways!) and may God's love continue to shine through you! I love you both!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday Lazyness

Well, after a slow weekend, and a headache, Monday is a nice way to take it easy.........except that Tuesday follows with a whole wack of work....*sigh* the vicious circle!

I thought about why I have no recent pictures on here. Well, with J's camera the pictures are too big and I hate waiting for him to develope them so I can post them. I have ordered a new camera for myself but it won't be here till next week. Hopefully then I will solve the picturelessness of this blog!

Oh, and the singing contest! Couple more days and you'll have the anwsers...
Email me with your mailing address! I have some thing for you! :)
Who needs to email me? You! :P

Singing......

Lets see if you can guess which movies my kids are singing along too........
NO GOOGLE SEARCHES!!!!!!!!!

1)"When the dogs bite, when the bees sting..."

2)"Tale as old at time, song as old as rhyme...."

3)"I've got no strings to hold me down...."

4)"You'll never have a friend like me!..."

5)"Never say never whatever you do....."

6)"If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile..."

7)"A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down...."

8)"Sing sweet nightingale...."

9)"The candy that whistles, the whistle you eat...."

10)"Look at this stuff, isn't it neat, don't you think my collection's complete...."

11)"Here he comes with all his friends, they've got stories, got time to spend with you..."

12)" Life's like a road that you travel on, when there's one day here and the next day gone..."

13)"Why would I wait for what a wish can create? why should I work so hard? I wish 'Cause wishing is great!..."

14)"Here on my island the sea says hello, dolphins are waving where ever I go..."

15)"Christmas, Christmas time is near, time for toys and time for cheer. We've been good, but we can't last. hurry, Christmas, hurry fast! ..."

16)" Hallelujah, Hallelujah"

OK, so NO CHEATING (GOOGLING) I'm looking for the movie or series of movies
(one is not a movie...just a song!)


and yes my kids watch TV...too much I know, but I like the songs too, and the quiet time!

Wednesday again!

Well, scale day is here!!! I can tell that I didn't do as well this time around :( So I guess I'll have to try a little harder with way less cheating. This one is hard because we are allowed so much! I guess I need a little more selfcontrol and a little less dipping into the kids snacks! :)

That being said, I still did pretty good. I didn't gain any of the weight back, and still managed to loose 3 lbs. I had stepped on the scale earlier in the week and had lost 5 lbs. So after all the cheating, snacking and sneaking, 3 lbs is ok...not great, but ok!

So on to another week. Gonna try really hard this week. More water, less snacks, more veggies and more will power.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phillipians 4:13

And a whole lot more prayer!!!!!

Music

I caved............Christmas sounds are now a feature of my home...childhood memories revisited, new ones being made.
What am I talking about??? I am listening to the Young Messiah, by the New London Choral and the Michael W. Smith christmas(his first one). A childhood staple of the Christmas season. It used to be on an old tape that Mom held hostage, being the only copy we had(and cannot find another in the North) but because of tecnological advances, my wonderful husband managed to make cds for all us kids! Wahoo! I love this music!
I caved because of the snow. Yah, sure blame it on the weather! But it does look so beautiful with all this white stuff on the ground, beautiful enough to play my Christmas music 1/2 a month early. Even decorating the house is getting tempting. Especially with a 4 year old who says" No, Mom, We'll go outside, you stay in and set up Christmas!" LOL! I think she likes the lights across the street!
Have a great snow day! I am, Play-doh(yucky smelly stuff), Oatmeal cookies and a tea party with my girls!
