Today one of our activities was finger painting, what a yummy mess!
Now this killed 10 minutes of entertaining for the day.
Look Ma, messy hands!
What do you mean I have to clean this off! Waa
There are a few other blogs I’ve been following and I want to share, they are awesome.
#1 Gool ‘ol Miss Linda out of Seattle, she’s says it like it is. I love her and want to be her best friend or at least go and get pedi’s with her. Read back a ways, she will make your life seem “normal” and all the crazy daily shit that goes on in your life funny! All & Sundry
#2 This is a new one I’m reading and I think it promises to make me laugh out loud as much as Linda does. Dooce
I’ve notices a commonality between the two, they both love to cuss, which in some odd way makes me happy. I’m not the only trucker mother out there who needs her mouth washed out with soap!
#3 Now this post had me snorting at work, if you’re on facebook you have to read it. 2birds1blog
Enjoy!
I’m off to enjoy a day of girlie fun. I’m hitting the gym, going to lunch with Stacey and Steph (I haven’t seen them in forever) and then I’m heading to a wedding shower. Sounds like a great, low calorie day! Ha The best part is my step-daughter is moving into her own apartment in a week and wants money and groceries, so she’s coming out to clean the house today in return. A day with the girls AND a clean house, heaven!
And no, I’m not talking about my husband! I’m talking about the amount of weight I still want to lose to reach my goal – 13 lbs. 13 pounds doesn’t sound like much in the grand scheme of things, slow and steady and in 6 or 7 weeks I should be there. I was thinking about all the things that weigh about the same and I just keep coming up with food analogies … I must be really hungry! Let’s see a turkey or a large ham, which is what’s sitting on my hips, ass, and thighs.
If I never have far to go to reach my goal, how come I never get there? I’ve dreamed of a hot body with 20% body fat for years, I must get there before menopause (Am I really worrying about menopause? Holy cow!) sets in or I never will. I’m so sorry I keep obsessing about this. My mother says I have body dysmorphic disorder, my husband says that’s why I’m in pretty good shape. I think they are both right; I’m a little crazy and a little in shape! I have been using the most awesome website to track food and fitness, it’s called The Daily Plate and I highly suggest it. It’s soooo easy to use and it’s FREE! Check it out.
This week was pretty OK. The highlight of my week was getting concert tickets for Keith Urban and Sugar Land for June 11th. Me and my friend Lori are going to road trip into St. Louis and meet my sister Laura for the concert, I can’t wait. Valentine’s dinner was delicious, if I do say so myself. I made chicken Marsala and pumpkin pie (Q’s favorite). I only had a few bites of mashed potatoes and pasta and then a little sliver of pie and I was a pound up today, crap. If I’ve gained weight tomorrow for the biggest loser weigh-in I’m going to be pissed. I guess it’s time to head to the gym and sweat off yesterday. Losing is SO hard! I am gaining strength though, I just did 10 straight-legged push-ups.
To those single people out there, enjoy your Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the newspaper, before you know it you will be up at 6:30 am playing kiddo Sequence. Oh the fog!
Why is it all week long I can think of funny things to write on my blog, but by the time I get around to it I have lost every witty thought in my head?
Random thought:
I need soft water or a maid, my kid has been practicing writing in the soap scum on the shower door. Seriously. Any tricks out there on enjoying house work? I need a few.
Just a few more pics of my kiddo with dinosaurs (surprise) and at Wonderscope. Not sure why they call this place a museum, the oldest thing they have are toilet paper rolls for the kids to do projects with. Now that just grosses me out a little.

My goals update for this week:
Health – Been working out consistently for 6 weeks now, feeling really good and getting stronger. Yay! My friends at work have been a huge motivating factor, thanks ladies. I feel like
Marrick – Just about over whatever bug he had, no more fever.
Quinton – getting along well this week, I have chosen my no nag attitude and left the dishes in the sink … and the laundry in the basket … and the …
Extended Family – I really, really, really wish I could scope Laura Lee up and take care of her. This crap is not fair and she is too sweet to go through all that she does. Maybe she should become “bad” so we can at least justify all this. (Divorce crap this week, her lawyer is a shitty ass piece of … you get the picture) Luura, go raise some cane girl!
Work – Good.
Charity – My charity has been me! 
Fun – My fun has been finding ways to eat low-carb for a few weeks. Now doesn’t that sound like fun? Trying to “shock” my body into losing and I’ve never giving this Atkins/South Beach thing a fair shake. I will let you know how it goes. I’m on day 4 now, never made it this long in the past.
I will post pics this week, promise. I’m also making a resolution to blog at twice a week instead of sitting on facebook.
