wow where do i begin.. sorry ive been MIA but man. lots of changes going on around here.. for one all the kids have started school and boy homework and gettin up in the morning going to bed earlier.. wow.. its a change to get used to.. my boss, Leigh has decided to go home and be with her children and therefore ive been promoted to a new position.. needless to say along with that comes MUCH more responsibility and im loving it .but its kinda like OMG i hope i dont mess up.. so now im training someone to do some of what i used to do.. im trying to keep up with what i still do and i need to learn what i will be doing along with learning all the new stuff the new girl is doing so i can appear to be smart to her.. lmao!!!
home life has been good lately and though at times its quite hectic its good.. i love those kids more and more everyday and its nearly impossible to realize that my heart can grow any more for them then BAM i realize that im the luckiest mom in the world.. i have an incredible husband who aggravates the shit out of me at times..but has been there through and through and is always behind me i seriously wonder why in the hell he puts up with me..but it must be cause he loves me.. there can really be NO other reason..
the kids are at the beach with their dad this week..needless to say i stressed over that BIG time.. but its ok.. i worry about them leaving to be with him for a week and not wanting to come back home..but i know they will.. i miss them soo much but i have enjoyed my time with greg..we have laughed and talked and basically not done too much..
yesterday i didnt even shower all day long but we did make 32 jars of jam and jelly! im excited to eat some and cannot wait to try it.. we made sugar free and regular blackberry jam which is my ABSOLUTE favorite and we made sf and regular grape jelly.. we also made some white grape jelly and next i think we are gonna try some orange marmalade.. i also got a hook up for some pears so i think pear perserves are in our future! it was fun and it was work but i really did enjoy making it..
also we got totally hooked on a new show this weekend.. i got the first 4 seasons of Weeds to watch .. its a showtime show and we dont have showtime so i had never seen it but i heard about it..well we started watching friday night.. we were up til midnight and then sat up til after 11 and last night til after 10 we even took a break from jam to watch a few episodes.. needless to say we are contemplating gettin showtime so we can tape it and watch it the new season! how bad is that.. but i have to say the show is incredible.. not somethign to watch with the kids but omg so good!!!
also sat we went and i got my 45 back from the gun smith.. he worked on my trigger and smoothed out my slide.. wow what a dream.. however when i shot it the first time.. man it scared the beegeebs out of me.. needless to say going from a 7+ pound trigger to what we found out was a 2.5 pound trigger was a HUGE difference.. but i was tearing up the target.. we are gettin ready to start reloading our own 45's and i cant wait b/c we will load them a bit lighter to shoot competition with and literally i ate the bullseye up when i shot it with the lighter loads that JD had.. so i cant wait.. i hope today that greg will get my new grips on for me and we can go practice some more this week while the kids are gone..
also today is day one of the diet.. yea i know ive posted before about how i was doing good and making it..w ell i fudged up.. yep thats me.. miss cookie lady.. WHY do i buy chocolate chip cookies?? huh?? i just love the taste of them and i eat entirely TOO many.. so they are all gone now and therefore i know i cant eat them and i wont buy anymore.. so .. today is as good as any.. ive told my friends and greg to stay on me HARD>. i have 2 weeks to get my act together and prove to myself and my dr that i can do this.. my goal is to drop at least 8 lbs.. and im gonna do it.. if i have to drink coffee all the time.. lmao! no ill eat but its gonna be MUCH healthier..
so im workin on labor day and i took a break to post this.. i really need to get my butt back to work and do my thing..
as far as the voices.. not too sure what all they have been saying lately.. ive been ignornign them and stuffing their sound down with chocolate chip cookies.. so maybe now that they are all gone.. ill listen! LOL
