So - today was my kids' first day back to school. I signed in as a visitor and did a FULL circle of the upstairs & downstairs & did several flights of stairs. I was suprised that I wasn't nearly out of breath as I normally would be. 8^) I am conditioning my body to become a more fit & active person. This is SOO exciting!!! Even more exciting was the kids had a half day & both kids came home w/ a smile on their faces and feeling great about their new classes & teachers, etc.
I had a visitor today - my friend Sarah. We were supposed to walk, but it didn't happen, except to walk to the school & back. I had a guy come out to the house (*insurance salesman*) that brought 2 of the child safe kits - that I can carry in case of *heaven forbid!* the kids were ever lost, ran away, or abducted. It's basically a description & DNA & fingerprint kit FREE that I fill out etc.. and keep in a safe place. ANYWAY - this guy was semi-cute & super funny! It was a fun & funny part of the afternoon, especially when Sarah & I had him laughing so hard he couldn't hardly make his sales pitch to me for life insurance! LOL
He left & the kids came home from school - - we all got something to eat & Sarah headed home because she's got some allergy/sinus issues going on - and I pray she's feeling better! She's got to work at o'dark thirty tomorrow and that can be such a pain to deal with - - especially when your job is to drive!!!
The rest of the evening has been QUIET! My son left early to head to Boy Scouts & Lily & I enjoyed a few t.v. shows & some snacks etc.. Then she left & I'm left alone. AGAIN. *sigh*
ANYWAY! my friend tonight in her blog expressed her inspiration about me.. when the TRUTH is that she's been an inpiration to me! She's the ultimate stay-at-home Christian mom. She has the best ideas & her blogs have always given me inspiration for my relationship w/ Christ, relationship w/ my family & my children..everything. She's is awesome!!! This is a link to her blog: Life with Lissy
It's just amazing the connections that God has linked me in friendship etc.. with people that are RIGHT for my life and the life HE wants me to lead. I'm super excited that I've gotten a few small workouts in this week and since the kids are going to be in school I can take some lengthy bike rides & really kick it up a notch this week.. AND I still have my free Zumba class to attend--coming soon! which!!! I'm super excited to do w/ my friend at Life w/ Lissy 8^)
I'll be excited for Thursday's weigh in - - hopefully I've dropped those pesky 3 lbs and I can celebrate my 50lbs loss milestone. *cross you fingers* and pray! * It's been tough w/ the cake & other yummy munchies around..
Wish me luck!!!! I've only done small workouts & I've cheated on my diet - - not too bad, but still.. it has an effect.

It's my Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today has been awesome!!! I got a GREAT night's sleep. I fell asleep before 11pm last night & I woke around 10 am. I kept hearing my phone going off, not even thinking about it.. I had over 50 messages (from FB) of people wishing me a happy birthday! What I really loved was that as soon as I kicked off the covers there was Lily smiling w/ a loud "Happy Birthday Mom" I just melted. She's such a great kid.
I managed to get a few loads of laundry finished, along w/ cleaning up the porch & a few other areas today! AND I had 3 visitors today. My first visitor today was my pal Wade. He just stopped by to see how I was doing and ate a piece of cake. My other friend Mike SANG Happy Birthday to me as he drove by, but then he stopped in for a piece of cake & to chit chat. Not long after Mike left, my Dad arrived and took 2 pieces of cake for him & for mom for tonight. I have to remember to send along two more pieces for Mom's neighbor Carol & her mom. I sure wish I was an at-home care person. "Nana" has been home bound for a while. She needs someone to be with her always. I'm sure they will enjoy a little choc cake w/ peanut butter icing 8^)
After supper tonight, Lily insisted that I have a candle to blow out & make a wish on. So... I grabbed a candle & a cupcake and made a wish after Lily sang for me.. LOL It was great!
So now, here it is.. almost 11pm and I'm officially 32 yrs old and I feel great! I do feel a little tug in my heart about some issues, but all in all - - I feel great! The house is shaping up, the kids go back to school tomorrow, and I was able to enjoy my first day off getting alot accomplished & spend some great time w/ the kids. We even walked to McDonald's where I ate 1/2 of my salad & got a M&M flurry that was DELICIOUS!
Well, the kids are tucked & sleeping in bed and I've had a great day.. Now lets just see if God allows my birthday wish to come true.. and NO I'm not going to tell you what it is.. Tomorrow's a new day & I'm looking forward to sending the kids back to school and excited for their new year!! Daniel is my big 7th grader and Lily is my 6th grader. YIKEs! I am getting old LOL nahhh not really! LOL I feel awesome! losing 47 lbs and turning 32 is awesome! I can't wait for my weigh in this week (*since I'll be riding bike a lot while the kids are in school*) if I can lose those pesky 3 lbs to make it to my 50 lb milestone I'll be even more happy! AND if I can get rid of this choc. cake w/ peanut butter icing.. w/out having to eat it.. YUP - that would be 'icing on the cake' LOL
Good night everyone! I felt well liked, loved & popular all day long. God is awesome and He sure knows what He's doing bringing the right folks into my life. I am very blessed!
