:)

Today is my birthday. I think that's safe information to give out since you don't know my name :) I'm taking it easy at home. I plan to do a little gardening and get some laundry caught up. This new part-time job is taking up alot more time than I had orignially intended. Which sucks! Sorry but it does. I want and need to be here at least a couple days a week to get things caught up and that just isn't happening lately. I think things will calm down come summer time. WHen the kids don't have so many sports commitments and no school. I definately am going down to at least 3 days a week then. My kids won't be home too much longer and I want to enjoy their bratty little selves while they are. It's nice to have a choice in the matter. I know alot of mothers don't.

We are buying the kids a pool this year. We found one for less than what a pool pass cost. It's a nice size, and with the money I'll be saving on snacks and special foods for transporting to the pool, and not to mention the gas money, it will pay for the extra water and pool chemicals needed!

Took a brisk (for me) walk this morning. Wasn't my choice though. I lost my keys and had to walk my youngest to school. It was a nice walk though. Ended up being about a mile. I did very well if I do say so. It made me feel good too. So that is definately something I need to continue on a everyday basis not just once in awhile when I remember, or find the time. I need to make the time!

Not doing to well with the pop drinking. I kinda got back in a rut with it. Curses the Kroger sale on 2 liters!!!! But I'm making sure to drink water too. Small steps, that's what this whole things about! Small steps that make up the huge mountain. I will get there! slowly but I'll get there!

I'm seriously thinking of doing raw vegan(mostly) to kick off some weight loss. I intially lost about 10 pounds and feel better, but I want to feel great! I think to do that I would love to loose another 60-70lbs. To be perfectly honest with you I need to loose at least 100 lbs. but if I can get off that major part I will be happy. I'm not real sure I'll ever be back in a bikini or anything. And I'm not real sure that I ever care to be. I just want to be comfortable and feel at home in my skin :)

I would also like to get my financial house in order, so I can better prepare for my childrens futures! So that is something I'm throwing myself into full swing. We'd like to move one more time and have a nice yard away from all the hussle and bussle of city and or town people! With a nice large garden. I love to garden and this has been my dream for quite some time! I'd also like to meet Robert Pattinson but I figure a small mini farm is more of a manageable dream! (That man's smile just melts me) as does my husbands ;)
I think that's what attracted me to him to begin with. Anyhoo while we are the subject of my wonderful husband who doesn't mind my Robert fascination, so long as I keep it in prospective ;) Last night he stood outside in the dark and weeded and got my raised bed outback ready to plant. So I will be doing that today on my birthday! I love that man of mine! He and I are going to be going on a second honeymoon of sorts. Seeing as though we never got to go on a first one I guess technically it's our first one. Anyway we've never in the last 15 years of marriage ever gone away together and never been more than a day away from the kids and very rarely have they ever all went somewhere on the same night. So it is going to feel wierd! I know I will miss them terribly! But it's just 4 days so hopefully all goes well. I can't wait, I'm very excited for it to get here! Crazy huh?

Well I guess I should get outside and get planting! Thank you hunny, it's all I really wanted for my birthday:)

Live, Love, & Laugh simply...
