My Goodness, it's been way to long

Wow, it's been 2 1/2 months since I've blogged. 

Lets see if I can catch up.  Since my last update, I went to an all day crop in August.  Did school clothes and supply shopping.  The weekend before school started we went on vacation for 3 days in San Antonio.  Ryan went to 4th grade and Saira to 1st grade.  They've already finished the 1st 6 weeks.  And both were on A-B Honor Roll as well as Perfect Attendance.  Ryan is nearly done with the football season, with this team 2 wins and 2 loses.  Playoffs are next weekend and the weekend after is the Superbowl.  I've been subbing again this school year.  And so far, so good. Over the summer I had lost about 15 lbs, I was super excited about that.  :)

This Saturday is Croptoberfest and the group of girls I crop and retreat with will be gathering for the all day event.  I'm so excited to get lots of layouts complete. 

Hopefully I can keep a good routine of updating my blog more often.  ;)

My poor babies...

I'm so totally heart broken. Both of my babies are hurt and boogered up. :(

Last night Saira fell out of bed. And she hit her baby dolls bed with her eyebrow bone. :( I heard her fall and hit something. It's not a normal thing for her to fall out of bed either. I hopped up and calmly checked on her and I noticed in the dark of her room that her eye was all messed up. So I picked her up, carried her to the livingroom and then REALLY noticed how bad it looked. I'm the calm one, Chad's the panic'er. I calmly woke him up, and quickly told him to wake up before he starts freaking out. Cause he does that when you wake him up. Gesh, he's sooooo weird...LOL But I made him wake up real good and I whispered to him that her eye is really messed up bad and to get some ice. Oh God, he started to panic...LOL He started to cry and she cried worse. Yeah, he was no help...LOL She didn't like the ice, so I got her to help me out with putting it on. I had her count to 5. And then we'd take it off. She quickly got over it and wanted to play Candyland, so we played 3 games and then watched cartoons. I kept her up for about an hour and a half and then put her back in her bed. I turned her tv on for her so she could watch more cartoons and I went on to bed. She kept telling me that she was still going to school today...LOL What a sport. ;) So she got up this morning all 1/2 bright eyed and bushy tailed. ;) Her poor little eye was swollen shut. She asked me when it would open up. I told her not for a few days. She was excited to go to school and show her teacher.

Now for Ryan. On Sunday Chad took Ryan and Saira to the baseball field to give Ryan some practicing time. They were gone for almost 1 1/2 hours. They finally made it back and Saira comes in asking for an ice pack. What the heck??!!?? She said Ryan's hand got hurt. I poke my head out the door and asked Chad what happened. He says Ryan got hit with a baseball while holding the bat. Ryan plays pitching machine and those balls shoot out of the machine sooooo fast and hard. His right ring finger got hit. It was all swollen and purple. I was able to move it good enough for us, so we weren't too worried that it was broken or cracked. Well, wait, let me rephrase that...lmao...I wasn't too worried, but Mr. Worry Wart was a little bit. Yesterday he woke up with it all stoved up. Well duh, he slept all night, not moving it. He wanted to stay home. But I made him move it around to get it going again. And all was well. Geeeee, mommy's are so smart. ;) He came home from school yesterday in good spirits about it. He said he's able to move it pretty well. And then this morning it's already starting to look better. It's still swollen of course. But he's able to move it even more better. I'm not really sure he'll be able to play his game on Friday. We'll have to see. Tonight is practice and I'm not sure he should really do that just yet. I don't mind him practicing on the field, but not at bat. He's first baseman and can wear his glove still....on his left hand, so no biggie. We'll just have to see.

:( I feel so bad for the both of them though. :(

:'(


Onto other news...
A few months ago, we stopped going to the diet dr. Well, this week I've started back up...minus the diet dr just yet. LOL Within the last month and half or so I gained about 7 lbs. blehhhh!! That sucked. Damn holidays and candy!! Candy is a HUGE HUGE HUGE weakness for me. CHOOOOOCOLATE!!! ;) Mmmmm! It was heaven though. Now that all those holidays are out of the way until Halloween, I'm good to go. :) Maybe I can get slim enough for a bathing suit for our vacation June 13, 14, and 15th. We'll be headed back to San Antonio again.

(I'll get a picture of her eye this afternoon and show you all. She didn't want me to take one last night.)

Diet Update

I can't believe I've already lost 20 lbs....in less than 2 months. It's time for me to start buying new clothes. They are falling off of me already. Yesterday when I was getting ready for church, I had to try on all kinds of clothes. Nothing was fitting, everything was too big. LOL I hadn't worn any of my dress clothes in awhile now. I've noticed my shoes are even getting bigger. hehe It cracks me up. Maybe while I'm in Alaska visiting my dad, he'll take me out on Black Friday and we'll get me some new clothes. ;) Not much though, because they will be falling off pretty soon too. So anyways, I started at 219 and I'm down to 199. woo hoooooo!!

:) :) :)

So Guess What...

Well, I didn't lose or gain anything from last week. I'm just glad I didn't gain. Since I had 2 birthdays and 1 anniversary. And now Sunday I have Ryan's birthday. I'll try to be more tougher and not fall into the yummy cake and pizza that day. ;) I'm sure if I didn't do all the walking I did (3 miles a day) then I probably would've gained.

Holy Bat Cake Batman!!

This cake is AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME!!!!! Talk about trouble, sitting on the counter. LOL Mary, you are in big trouble little missy!!! Just way to good to be sitting over there on that little cake plate, that's for sure.

See, I bought the stuff to make this Yummy Apple Spice cake before I started my diet. But it's better for you than the regular way of making it. Since the oil is replaced with apple pie filling. I'll have to look for the sugar free version of the pie filling next time, then it will be even more better, less guilt free...lol ;)

Mr. Chad is most happy with his yummy cake!!

Well, hmmmm...

Today was my BIL's birthday. We went over there for cake and ice cream before football and cheerleader practice. I had a piece of cake and ice cream of course, can't be rude you know. But I walked a mile and a half afterwards, so hopefully that helped. Don't know the calories on all of that. But I think I gave myself a big hunking number to cover it....which still left me under my 1200 calories for the day. *crossing fingers*

1 day, 2 more events to go....LOL

Loosing update...

...LOL...

Today was my weekly checkup. I have lost 5 lbs. I'm so excited!! I hope I do just as well this week with my anniversary being this week...and my 12 year old Brother-in-laws birthday as well...oh and Chad's birthday. Gesh, I think this week is doombed already. UGH! Wish me luck please.

WOW, go ME!!

So yesterday evening, it was time for me to go walk my mile. So I walked and walked and finished. I was like, I think I'll do another. So while I did that, I was talking to my mom and she talked me into doing 1 more mile. I got in 3 miles, at once. This past week I've walked 2 miles a day, but it was 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. Go me for getting 3 miles in at once. Woohoo! It was super easy. I didn't have any troubles at all doing it. I think I'm in the groove with walking now. I feel like I made up for my evening walk on Friday that I missed due to the High School football game. And then yesterday mornings walk due to the Pee-Wee football game....LOL

...time to go do my morning mile.... tata!

Time to shed some pounds

Today a friend and I went to a weight loss doctor and we're going to be losing our weight. Chad's going to join us next week. :) I'm excited for us. :)
