Dear self,

Please take time for yourself! Slow down, try and be calm and relax.


I take on WAY to much to handle. Such as we are leaving for vacation next week. My to-do list is a million things long and I just don't have the time do complete it all. And on top of that I said yes to watching another little girl tomorrow. That puts me at 4 kids and 1 me. How is this going to work. WTF was I thinking???? 


I hope tomorrow goes smoothly and I can get some of my to-do's off. I put myself in this place. I just need to learn to say NO

Love or hate?

I have lost 5 pounds!!!!!! PUMPED I am trying very hard at this. Well minus the cookies I ate last night. Yesterday was one of those days BLAH.

I'm thinking for every 20 pounds or so I loose I will buy myself something. As of today I am thinking of these pretties:

Feelings???? Cute or OMG UGLY

New year = New me

I hate New Years. I hate hearing all about it. I was sleeping by 11 last night. I thing mentally I am very worn out from the holidays.

So what am I going to do...... write about it on my blog :)

The things I want to improve this year are:

1. Become a better wife, mom, friend
2. Eat healthy,loose weight and get in shape
3. Read more
4. Look for the positive in things rather than the negative

I am slowing going to work on each one of these things this year. I know they will all take time but I am OK with that. I am going to try not to obsess and freak out about each one. But we shall see.

The eating healthy was put on the back burner today. I had 3 donuts and wow they were good. I swear if I was not already obsessed with cupcakes donuts might have taken over. lol

It is time I start posting more!

Well I have a 1 year old! YIKES Where did the last year go? I swear time needs to slow down. M had a great time at her party. Cupcake was the theme. Here a a few pictures from the big day.

I was hoping to go more all out. But at the end I gave up. Putting together a party like this just took over my life. It was my obsession for the month. We had 2 different parties. She is one spoiled little girl!

I am going to try and start C25K again. I need to. I need to find the motivation to get me going and keep going. Any ideas?

New obsession for the month of October.....

C25K

Yo! Today is day 1 of couch to 5k (the app rocks!). I feel great right now after working out. M was screaming her head off, the hubs was driving me nuts and I just needed to get out for a bit. I walked to my sisters house and ran on the treadmill (we are storing it at her house). It felt really good to turn up the jams and burn some calories. I am going to stick with it this time. FOR REAL!  I'm not happy with myself and I know nothing negative can come out of working out.

Pretty soon this will be me :

(I can wish)

No big plans this week. Still moving things into the house. M is all registered for swimming lessons that start next week. PUMPED I was a swimmer growing up. I swam from age 5-19 it was my life. I miss it :( I'm hoping to get in better shape so I will wear a swimsuit in public. That way I can swim while M is in lessons.

Have a fab week!! 

The big move

Hello all! We have been way busy moving. M room is all painted and things are starting to come together. We went with a nice mint green color. I will post pics when I take some and get the room all set up.

Being a SAHM has been fun and a challenge. But I am enjoying it. M is crawling!!! It is way cute. watching her little butt go back and forth. This morning I was trying to get ready and it took way longer having to chase her all over the house. Other than that nothing new with us. I will try and post more!!
