A Trip to the Zoo

We took the kids to the zoo yesterday (pictures)… It was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment thing. Joe was off work, and the weather was decent. So we woke the kids up early and told them to get their showers in, without telling them where we were going. We had wanted it to be a [...]

Updates

On Marriage 

ETA @ 12:23 am … Gosh, I hope I am not saying too much… I keep going back and forth, as to whether I should have made this a private post… It’s not like Joe and I were ever on the verge of divorce or anything, because THAT would never happen in a million years….
For [...]

Rain, Rain, Go Away

I finally remembered what I wanted to post about Amanda last time, so I will do that first, so I won’t forget again! *lol*….
Every night before bed I let the kids watch a movie. They call it their bedtime movie… When we first moved in, we put the kids’ TV in the breakfast nook, along [...]

Back to a Slower Life…

… Just the way I like it.
We’ve been staying home the last few days, and it’s been nice. Nice and quiet… Well, if you can consider a house with 4 kids “quiet”.
One thing that I like to do, is listen to the kids, when they don’t know I am listening… On Friday the [...]

Weekly Weigh In (a day late)

In all the confusion (OK, stress) of yesterday, I forgot to do my weekly weigh in. So I did it this morning instead.
I lost 1.2 lbs last week, for a total of 4.2 lbs lost so far. Not much, but after the week I had, I’ll take it.
I am so happy with how the treadmill [...]

Chuggin’ Along

It simply amazes me how much difference 5 days can make…
On Monday I used the treadmill for the first time in months. I could barely handle it. I lasted 4-5 minutes and thought I would die. *lol*… I’ve used it every day since then (except Wednesday, because I was really busy all day and didn’t have time)… [...]

First Weigh-in

Today was my first weigh-in… I plan on doing them every Friday… Anyway, I lost a total of 3 pounds this week. Not a spectacular loss, but an acceptable one. I’ll take it!
I decided to keep going with the treadmill, mainly because of the privacy thing. I’ve been doing better every day! At the [...]

Splash Park

There is a park in Molalla, that has a little mini water area. A concrete area where there are water spouts that shoot water up… Like a sprinkler system I guess… For kids to play in. It’s nothing fancy, but Molalla is a small town. Well, when we saw Scott and Debbie on Saturday, Joe [...]

Which is Best?

OK, I have a workout question for you…
For the last week, I’ve been doing my 1 mile Walk the Walk video. While I am usually glad when it’s done, and my heart rate increases some during the workout, and I do sweat a little… I am not exhausted at the end… It is a 22 [...]

Back in the Saddle

Whoopee-ti-yi-yo, rockin’ to and fro
Back in the saddle again (once again)
Whoopee-ti-yi-yae, I go my way
Back in the saddle againBack in the saddle againSo… I’m trying to get back in the saddle… Climb onto the wagon… Get on program. Whatever you want to call it.
Today I dusted off my old videos, and took a walk with [...]

Taking a Break

I’ve decided to take a short break from baby making… I need some time off from the emotional roller coaster I’ve been on since last fall. It won’t be a permanent break, because as you know, I *really* want a baby… But I need a couple months to regroup.
We’ll start back trying, in August or [...]

Not Doing Good…

Those two teeth are really bad tonight… I have an appointment set for Wednesday at 3 pm… That seems like an eternity from now.
I think the top one is infected, and it’s affecting my entire face, especially my nose and sinuses… I sure wish we could afford to get the dentures now.
I’m really feeling [...]

Too Much Information

It’s cycle day 14, and I think I might be ovulating. We did our “thing” last night, and his swimmers are supposed to live up to 3 days, so here’s keeping my fingers crossed. We’ll have to do a follow up tomorrow… Joe’s already asleep… He’s usually asleep before I get the kids to bed, [...]

A Shopping We Will Go

Shopping at Wal*Mart is never a very good idea, is it? We always end up spending WAY more than we intended too!!!…
We dropped the kids off at Scott and Debbie’s at around noon-ish and then we headed out. We went out to lunch first, at Mike’s drive-in. (They have the best burgers in Oregon City!) [...]
