A Wonderful Mother’s Day

May 14, 2012 By Heather

I hope all of you had a very wonderful Mother’s Day!

I really enjoyed mine. I slept in till 10:30. That was awesome, I am usually up at 7:30 every single day. So I woke up, made my coffee and got back in bed to start reading Fifty Shades Darker. I am really loving this trilogy and where I left off last night had me crying.

Then my great hubby made me breakfast in bed; eggs, bacon and biscuits. I really did feel spoiled. I vowed not to do a single thing on Mother’s Day and it felt great not doing anything.

So my day consisted of laying in bed reading or catching up on the shows I had on my DVR. Snuggling with the kids watching Ace Ventura. It was a great day!

My mom and my mother in law loved their Mother’s Day Presents.

Saying Goodbye

April 16, 2012 By Heather

Saturday I went grocery shopping with my hubby and the kids. It was so busy and I was so aggravated, I do not do well in crowed stores. We was half way through the store when my phone started blowing up every other minute. I was already in a bad mood from shopping I did not want to pick up my phone. But it just kept ringing. Then it hit me. I just knew why my phone would not stop ringing, my Uncle passed away.

So I decided to start calling people back when I got back in the car, and what I felt was right. My Uncle did indeed pass away. My family knew he didn’t have a whole lot of time left here in this world. I know he is no longer in pain and he is now with his beloved wife again. I miss her so much and I am missing him.

So today I am waiting to hear from family members about what time services will be held, so I can make some arrangements with the kids so I can go say my final goodbye.

God’s Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Not ready for this

March 22, 2012 By Heather

Since Allison was like 2 she has been wanting to go to school. So last week and most of this week, I have been calling different pre-schools. I even took her to visit one of the schools I called and she had a great time. The teacher let her look around all the different stations. Then she even went and sat in the circle with the other kids during story time. I decided against that school because the price a week was crazy ridiculous, it ended up being more a month that I pay for my car. $360 a month is just way to much for part time.

So I kept calling and calling and finally found one! I told her she was 3 and they asked if she was potty trained. Yep! Would you like her on the list? Yep! So in May she will go to that pre-school for screening. It will be half a day class, 5 days a week.

I know she really wants to do this, but I am NOT ready for her to be gone 5 days a week, even if it is only half a day. I know they grow up and go to school, but I am not ready for this. I was crushed Ryan’s first week in kindergarten. I laid around and cried missing my baby boy. Oh this is going to be hard. Very Hard. I tear up every time I think about it. She keeps telling me she “has to go to school now”

Baby girl, this mommy is not ready for you to grow up!

I’ll Confess To You

March 9, 2012 By Heather

Long ago JK had a Friday Confession that she is bringing back! Yeah!

So today I am going to confess to you that Impulsive Addict has been a real inspiration to me for awhile. *Dont blush IA, you really have been*

She has been doing the Dukan Diet since the beginning of the year and I have been reading her weekly weigh in and have been really inspired. Seeing how amazing she has been doing on this diet has inspired me to try it.

I bought the book Tuesday afternoon and after I did I weighed myself. And thought OMG, I was disgusted at the weight. But it was in the middle of the afternoon, fully clothed. I had ate a lot of crap that day also.

I officially started the Dukan Diet Wednesday where I weighed myself first thing in the morning with no clothes on. Which the scale was a little bit nicer that morning. I’m scared to do this and don’t laugh but I will confess with you my weight. Wednesday morning was……………….242.6…….GASP!!!!! Want to hear something worse my weight mid day Tuesday was 246.

It is day 3 of the Dukan Diet and I will confess my weight this morning was 239.8. So I have lost 2.8lbs since Wednesday. My weight has been a major issue since I was 19. I went from being 120lbs to over in the 200′s. And I confess I am done! I am done with being fat. I am done having a hard time finding decent clothes. I am just done! I know I have said this before but this time I will stick to it.

Thank you IA for introducing me to a diet that actually works and that I know I can stick to. A diet where I don’t feel like I am starving. A diet where I don’t have to count calories and my scale is showing me it is working.

Spring Is On It’s Way

March 2, 2012 By Heather

On Wednesday we had some BEAUTIFUL warm weather. We could not pass up the warm air and went outside most of the day. Because I knew Thursday was not going to be so warm but it will warm up again today, which means more outside time.

I LOVE this picture from Wednesday, the was a nice breeze and I love how Allison’s hair was flying all over.

She was having a great time watching airplanes with her MaMa. (promised my mom I wouldn’t get her in the photo, she hates her pics being taken haha)
