Weight Watcher Weigh-in

Hello. Well today is Tuesday, which means weight watcher weigh in. I haven't been for a couple of weeks, so I was hoping I lost some weight. I didn't lose as much as I wanted but I did lose 1.8lbs. Which puts my total at exactly 25lbs!!!!! I'm so excited. If I want to and I keep going I could hit 50lbs by the summer. Wouldn't that be something. Not sure if I can or will want to lose that much, but it would be pretty cool. I guess we'll see. Now that I have the treadmill, the weight should come off faster. My mother in law has lost 26lbs, so she's really excited too. That's about all there is to say today. I just wanted to do my weekly update that I hadn't done in a few weeks. Have a great day everyone!!!

Kindness

Hello Everyone! So I thought I'd write about kindness today. At our school we have something called "The Law of Kindness" which the kids are taught from the moment they arrive at school. It pretty much speaks for itself, it's means being kind to your fellow students, teachers, friends, etc. Well for the month of February we have "The Kindness Challenge". The children get points for acts of kindness that they demonstrate throughout the month. We get stickers for every point and have to fill up the letters A L A with stickers throughout the month. Once the letters are filled up we have a Kindness Pizza Party and an assembly. Well, the day of the assembly the classes have to vote for the student in their class whom they think is the kindest. That student then gets recognized with a trophy during the Kindness Assembly. Well.....the kindness assembly was on Friday and CJ was voted the kindest in his Kindergarten class by his classmates. The picture is above. He was so excited and mom was very proud. Now, speaking of kindness, my friend Stephanie was very kind and gave me her treadmill. I am so excited. I've started doing 30 min in the morning and 30 min in the evening. I am running for 5 min and walking for 5min. However, my neighbor downstairs informed me that in the morning the treadmill is really loud, so I may only be able to walk in the morning...which I guess I'll have to do. Chris is going to see if he can get some mats from his work, so it won't make so much noise. I was really bummed when she said that, because running on the treadmill finally gave me something to be excited about. I'm hoping if I walk in the morning it won't make so much noise. Well, that's about it for now. Continue to keep us in prayer when you think of us. Love ya.

Hellooooooooooooooooo

Hey Everyone! It's been a while since I wrote on my blog, so I figured I'd better update it. Today is Weight Watcher Weigh-in, but I'm not really sure if I'm going or not. I think I've stayed about the same and I don't really feel like paying $13 to hear that I weigh the same. So I'll probably wait until next week. I've been trying to figure out what to write on the blog, because I'm really going through some trying times and I don't want to get into it on the blog. So, all I can really say is God is Good and He is on the throne!!! I've given it all to Him, so I have to just wait and trust in Him to deliver me. That's one positive thing though, I do still have so much faith in the God I serve!! He has provided for my needs above and beyond and he has seen me through so many trials....my prayer life has never been better. So, I do know that God is with me and I feel his presence around me daily. It's hard though going through this, so please keep me in prayer when you think about me. Actually, keep my whole family in prayer, because even though the kids have no idea that we're going through this, I'm sure they will be affected. I love you all and I'll let you know when things turn around. Which I know they will!!

I'M SO DISGUSTED!!!!!

They lost!!!!!! The Cowboys lost!!!!! This really stinks. They played horrible in the 2nd half. It really makes me disgusted at how they played. I can't believe it. A 13 - 3 season and we lose in our first playoff appearance. And to the NY GIANTS...auggghhh!!! Ridiculous!! It's just sad, sad, sad.......... We better have a snow day tomorrow!!!! I'll need it to recuperate from this loss!!!

What a beautiful day!!

What a beautiful day it is outside! They say the temperature will be about 50 degrees today. Which is crazy for January. I think I will take the kids out to the park, because I think it's supposed to get cold tonight and snow tomorrow. Which is more like the january weather. I'm hoping for a snow day Monday. So I'm at Stephanie's with her 3 kids and my 2 kids for 5 days!!!!! So far we're doing good. Everyone got up, had breakfast, got dressed and playing pretty nicely. A little trouble sharing, but easily rectified. We'll probably head out to the park in a little while. I'll let them run out all there energy, then we'll come home for lunch and naps!! Well, we'll try for naps. I'm hoping the rest of the days go this smoothly. It'll be interesting to see how things work on Monday & Tuesday when I have to be out of the house by 7:15am to get to work. Getting 5 kids breakfast and ready for school by then should be fun!!! :) That's one reason why I'm hoping for a snow day on Monday!! But we'll see. I must say, Stephanie's bed is sooooooooo comfortable!!!! That's about it here! There's a lot of football to watch this weekend and I'm excited about tomorrow's game between my Cowboys and those NY Giants. We beat them twice in the regular season, but now it's playoffs and anything can happen. If the Cowboys come ready to play, we shouldn't have a problem. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Have a great day everyone!! Get outside and play! Talk to you soon....Love ya!

Weight Watchers Weigh-In Tuesday (Finally!!)

Hey Everyone,
How are you all? Happy New Year again. My daughter did a good job on the New Year's post didn't she? She's growing up so fast. Anyway.....I finally got weighed in today and I lost 2lbs. That brings my total loss today to 23.2lbs!!! I still have a ways to go, but I was so thrilled. They say (who they are I don't know) people usually gain 5-7 lbs over the holidays, so to have lost 2 pounds over the holidays makes me very happy. Especially with all the eating we've done at our friend's house. I'm so glad tomorrow is Wednesday and the week is 1/2 over. This weekend I will be staying at my friend's house and watching her 3 children while she and her husband are away. The kids are very excited, they have so much fun when they are all together. It's very loud, but they have fun. I saw the movie "PS. I Love You" this weekend. I thought it was such a great movie, especially if you need a good cry!!! My friend and I cried pretty much throughout the whole movie, there were a lot of laughs too. I definitely reccomend it for you romantics out there. How about this weather huh??? It's been so warm this week. I believe it's supposed to get up to 61 degrees tomorrow. I'm loving it.....but I hope winter comes back by February. We're going to the poconos over February break and I need there to be snow then.....all the fun stuff to do there requires snow!! Okay, well it's time for me to put CJ to bed. Hope you all are doing great. God bless! Love ya.

Happy New Year !!!!!

Hey, Miranda here!! My mom is doing the dishes so I'll be doing the blog today. Last night I was at my Aunt Stephenie's house and the parents were having fun by playing poker and I was watching tv with the kids but CJ and Brandon were on the computer. When we got home it was 11:00pm and I was trying to stay up until 12:00 but o well. This morning me and my mom were going to go for a walk but it was raining really bad but not any more. Tomorrow were going back to school BORING!!!!!!!!!! But I'm kind of happy because I could see my friends again so I guess schools ok. Today were not really going to do anything so this is really fun but I gotta go so bye. O YEAH HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
