Weight Watchers Promo

I am happy to say after 5 wks on the "weightwatchers plan" I have lost 9.4 pounds! Yippee! Of course, I need to lose a lot more and it is not very obvious I have lost anything yet, but it is good to know it is going DOWN. My parents are putting in a pool so ya know I gotta look 1/2 way decent in my skivvies. (a swimsuit is skivvies, right???) haha. So far it is the best diet I have tried because you can eat whatever you want as long as you count the "point value" for each thing and don't go over a certain amt of points per day. So I don't feel so depraved and I am forcing myself to learn to eat smaller portions. So it's all good, 'yo! That's all for now. Tomorrow and Friday are cleaning days, Sat. is Mahna's 8 month pics and sunday is Jarrod's 27th bday. ADIOS!

Well I was very close to getting a free king size bed but darn! The ppl had already given it away last week. Oh well. Casey got out last weds. Things have been fine. We are all getting along great. He rigged my dryer so I didn't have to do laundry at my mom's this week. Should be a relief to her since I have been over taking her laundry room every Monday for a couple months now. I have nothing interesting to say so I will talk to u later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

news!

Casey is getting out of jail on Weds. I am hopeful that things will be fine. It is really good to hear that he will be out of jail. I know it will be a big relief for him and his family. We all got along fine before, so hopefully it will still be the same. Things will be different for him. 2 1/2 years of missing out on daily happenings and not driving etc. Lucky for him he has a very supportive family and an uncle who just started a new company which he will be offered a decent paying job at. Now we just need to get him a BED. hmmmmmmmmmm......

I think I am goign to go get a haircut this week! Tomorrow I have a new house to clean in Irving and then I get to spend my earnings on my cat Nina's shots. Joy! One of our neighbors is making Mahna a pole thing to hang her new swing from! She loves to swing. This morning while I was making my bed she crawled from her bedroom to mine. It was so cute, and she was so proud of herself!!!

Well Jarrod is home for lunch so I better go!

coated?

Today I actually made it to church. I am sorry to say I really got nothing out of it. I enjoyed the singing but came away with no deep thoughts. I wonder if I should have just stayed home and read more of "messy spirituality" my new favorite book.

We spent the day w/ jarrods grandparents and it was magical. I saw a rainbow that was vivid and purdy purdy purdy.

Jarrod starts a new job tomorrow. I hope that he will be relaxed and confident and do a good job. Mostly I hope that this new company his uncle signed him into is going to be successful.

Casey should be out in a couple weeks. I wonder how things will be for him. For us. Hmmm. I wonder how much longer until we get a house of our own. I am anxious.

like the new look?

Yes as you have probably looked in on my blog for the last two weeks you have noticed the new picture and design of my blog. Thanks to my talented friend Cynde I have a whole new appearance to the sight. My friend not only does this website for me with her own design, but she is also an inspiration to me. If anyone on the planet should be a personal trainer it is her. All my life I have wanted someone to say get up and go DO and she does. So yea. THanx CC.

Last weekend as you may know if you read Kendra's blog (www.crylaughsnort.blogspot.com) my parents, Jarrod, me mahna, anna and my gma went to Austin for Easter. It was oh so fun. Maybe double fun for me because I had extra help with Mahna and therefor got to partake in some fun activities I usually don't. Hee hee. I also bask in the warm feeling of being with MANY family members. This part of me wants to have many children. Then I snap back into reality. Haha. My favorite time during childhood/teenagehood was goign to the Lake of the Ozarks to my Mimi and Papa's lake house during summer. There would be lots of family members just swarms in the kitchen then on the dock, and swimming, watching tv. It was a safe, secure and always fun environment.

Mahna learned to sit up by herself!!!!!!! I am so proud of her! I know EVERY baby does this but it was so cool to watch her try and try for about 3-4 weeks and finally one day...... POP she got up by herself. Too cool. She is also on a steady twice a day babyfood diet now, although most of her food is still Mama's Milk. I hadn't blogged about this, but I was having a hard time getting her to eat any rice cereal etc. and the DR said "it was time". Well I read part of my new favorite book "NIGHTTIME PARENTING" by Dr. Sears and his advice is every child is different and just let it happen when it is good for them. So I completely quit with the baby food fight for a week straight. When I started up again...... she loves it! She is so funny and cute to watch eat. She makes sounds for everything and I swear this child has electricity in her blood. Crazy crazy cool

I did honestly have intentions of goign to church this morning. I stayed up til 2 am doing digital picture stuff and then when I woke up at 8:15 I realized there was not much chance of getting me and Mahna ready in time for church. Then I was going to go to the later service but when it was time to take a shower Mahna and Jarrod were playing in the bed and it was just too cute to leave....... Ugh. I really gotta work on this section of my life. At least I have MOPS. I am very thankful for my mom's friend signing me up for that. It is good to have other people who discuss spiritual things, things that are real. I don't know why the rest of the WORLD doesn't, since it really is an important thing to so many... Hmm I dunno.

Well Stephanie had her baby! I am so happy for her. She had to have a C section which sucks but I am glad her baby and her are okay. I can't wait to meet little Addy. I wish I had money so I could go buy her a cute little preemie outfit>.. She is only 6 pounds!!!

Thanks for reading! Come back soon.
