Tomorrow we're leaving for San Diego. I am SO not ready. I'm really a last minute person, I like to stay consistent. :)
Today we went to Walmart and bought some necessities for our trip. One of our big things this trip is to try to save as much money as we can. Although all the parks don't let you bring in food, we're going to try to be naughty and sneak in some snacks. We also want to leave the park and go to the car and eat some lunch out of a cooler. I'm going to be watching what goes into my mouth.
I really feel like I'm a balloon right now and I just can't stop the expanding of my belly. My son today told me that I wasn't strong because my belly is too big. Sigh.....I know he's only four but it sux that he thinks of me that way. I really need to get my head on straight.
Got to run.

OOPS! I did it again!
Sorry, I'm really not a Britany Spears fan, but I thought that fit pretty good with this post.
So, I'm gaining back all the weight I lost after I got on Metformin. I am SOOOO frustrated. My clothes are starting to feel tight, and when I look in the mirror all I see is my profile growing, wider, and wider. The sad thing is, I have absolutely no excuses. I ate like complete crap these past couple of months, have not worked out, and forget to take my medication a lot. What kills me the most though, is this past week I have woken up every morning determined to watch my nutrition and do some physical activity, but by 9:00 a.m. I've blown it.
I know if you go back in my archives you will probably find at least five posts similar to this one. Me bitchin' about how I've done it again, gone back and put off getting healthy. I follow so many bloggers that eat healthy, I don't know how they do it. I guess one thing is none of them have little children. But still that's not an excuse for me, it should be an incentive for me to keep going.
I really want to blog everyday, it really helps me get my frustrations out. I'm sure my husband is sick of hearing me moan and groan about not having anything to wear in the morning, then later seeing me at night pigging out on potatoe chips and french onion dip.
The only thing I could do right now is get some sleep, and try again tomorrow.

If I had balls, I just learned how it feels when they get kicked!
Yesterday my husband and I took our 16 month old daughter to see a pulmonary specialists. For 9 months now we have been battling her chronic cough and horrible breathing. Her ped has told us not to worry about it and keep giving her treatments that our used for asthma. After 6 months of nebulizer and inhalers (without ANY improvement) we finally set up an appointment to see a specialists.
As we are sitting in the room waiting for the doctor I spied a poster on the wall. The poster was about Cystic Fibrosis. I let that sink in awhile before I turned to my husband and say, "Huh, never thought of that one." I knew what Cystic Fibrosis was and to be honest, I pushed it aside and said "Nah, it can't be that."
When the doctor was done with his examination, (Which took awhile because of Addie's screaming tantrums, thank GOD for suckers!) the doctor asks if our heritage descended from Europe. Yup, you know us white folks usually come from there. The doctor goes on and tells us that there is a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis
.....................stop..................
...........right there................
.................I just got kicked in the balls...............
My daughter? Have a disease that makes her LIFE EXPECTANCY SHORTER
After I was able to start my heart again and make sure my testicles, which I never knew I had, were back where they should be, I was able to hear some other words from the doctor's mouth like, "shows symptoms" and "I don't think so"....wait....you don't think so? A specialist who has worked with CF toddlers before says "I don't thinks so" when it comes to my daughter and that disease. THERE IS HOPE! I won't go in detail about the drive home, or the long night of no sleep, and the emotional morning that occured today.....let's just say I'm emotionally exhausted.
For now we are continuing the nebulizer twice a day with some new medicine from that doctor. Hopefully this will make her better. More than likely he is going to test her. I guess it's a test that only takes 45 minutes. Can you imagine? Waiting for that kind of news? But I guess I will think about that when the time comes.

Bad blogger! B-A-D!!
I don't know why I stop blogging. I absolutely love writing every detail of my warped brain down for the whole world to see! :) Actually I think I got a little nervous that I might get people to actually read my blog....like people that knew who I was instead of people just out in the internet universe. I think I've finally come to grips and realized that if people I know read my blog, cool. If they think I'm a little nuts after they read my blog, fine. The truth is I am a little nutty. My brain works in ways that is hard for anyone to understand, especially me. I can seem quiet, and normal when you first meet me, but you have no idea. I keep a lot of things bottled up afraid to say it to the world! Now that I am able to blog I am going to not let anything stand in my way from making me out to be a complete nutjob! WUHAHA!
Ok, I'm overdoing it a little much. I want to start blogging because I need to keep track of my kids cuteness, and my weight issues. I won't be too crazy I promise.

Since I went back to work this week to set up my classroom I can honestly say that today feels like a Saturday. When you aren't working all the days seem to mesh together and a particular day never stands out. Sometimes Ty and I would have to check a calendar to find out what day it was, but now that's over.
Saturday morning in my house are not as mellow as I wish. Addison wakes up at 5:30 on the dot and is usually cranky until her nap time because on Fridays we're up a little later. Aiden is a pain at breakfast. I have to pull teeth to get him to eat anything, and all he wants to do is watch cartoons. I just try to get some kind of housework done. Doesn't usually happen though, those that get up Saturdays and have their house spotless by 10 o'clock are my heroes. I wish I had the motivation to do that, but instead I'm a lazy slob......or I would like to say, a "recovering" lazy slob. I have actually gotten better over the years. (You should of seen our house after Aiden was born, OMG! how I stood having a house like that I'll never know! )
Last night I went to Oregano's with some friends to celebrate one of them having a baby VERY soon. I love girl's night they are so much fun. Having random conversations is something I live for. Our conversation started out about our children's middle names to how much we hate the Octo-mom. Dinner started out with some Artichoke Spinach Dip. Their "Boom" dip. For my entree I had a spicy beef sald (YUM!), and for dessert we split the pizza cookie....I also had an alcoholic beverage because when the kids are away, the mom will play! All in all I think I did ok nutrition wise.
Speaking of watching what I eat, I lost 5 pounds last week. WOOT!! WOOT!!! I only have 3 pounds until I'm back to my pre-vacation weight. I really want to get out of the 190's It's been WAY too long. like Dory say, "Just keep swimming...... Just keep swimming.........."

Summer's over :(
Today I got my keys to my classroom and began getting ready for the new school year. I'm actually going a week earlier than I thought I would. I believe it's because going back to work is going to be more relaxing than our summer vacation, don't worry you aren't the only one to think I'm nuts for saying that.
I guess I should feel guilty because it's like I'm saying that I don't want to be around my kids anymore. Truth be told I LOVE and ADORE my children, they bring a smile to my face everyday. I just feel like during summer vacation I need to do something with them ALL the time, it takes a lot out of me. I also feel like they have been WAY overstimulated by our running around this summer and they probably need to find some kind of normalcy before they both start spending evenings running in circles around our island in the kitchen. Oh wait! They do that!
So now that I'm back to work I can say that I don't think I could post pics of what I eat everyday. I am still taking pics of what I eat and I promise I will post them as much as possible. Today I forgot to take a picture of my Gyro at lunch and I just feel like it wouldn't be the same without it. (Or could it be I'm just too lazy today to get up and get my purse out of the kitchen with my camera in it....hmmmm.) I did great eating, and I even managed to get off my big butt and hit the gym. I have more to say about that but my dryer just stopped and I need to put my wet clothes in there before I hit the sack. Peace!
