Hey all

So we have moved into our new apartment. I loved living at my parents house and having them so close, but it is also nice to have my own kitchen again. I made dinner for the first time tonight. The past few nights we have been rummaging thru our stuff so its been a hit and miss as to what we find in the boxes. I did try to label the boxes the best I could but some stuff just got mixed up.
I tried to look for a picture to put on here but I couldn't find anything that would have anything to do with this...oh well.

Hey all

This is how I feel. Matt, my brother, took this picture we are really right side up but this is how you see me and the beautiful Booga. There is just so much going on and I feel like I have to do it all but then I get mad if my wonderful hubby doesn't offer to help. He on the other hand doesn't know what to do or what to say to me when I am stressed, so he just holds me and lets me cry.

This is my little family, plus Booga...... she insisted she be in the picture, on Mothers Day. We went to downtown Seattle because it was of course Mothers Day and my brother Louie was up from Arizona and it was nice to spend time with all my brothers and sister (minus Superwoman, you know who you are). It was alittle too crazy with fifteen people but we managed.

Went to the dr

Found out I have an ear infection and a touch of the flu. The dr called it gasterointestinal virus...I was stumbling over myself to try to remember that and when I looked it up online it said the flu. Why can't they just say you have the flu go home and sleep. Instead the doc tried to give me two different medicines for the flu and an antibiotic for my ear. I will take the antibiotic but I will just try to relax with the flu bug.
We took some great pictures of the kids tonight thought I would share a picture of the little ones.

This is what I feel like I want to be doing all the time. If someone told me to get as much sleep as I could before the baby was born I probably didn't fully understand. I feel it now. Tyler is 6 months old this week but I am feeling so tired now.
I last 4 pounds this last week.... thats the first weight loss since Valentines day week. I am very glad and I hope I can do better on my weight loss.
I feel like I am trying to run as fast as I can up an escalator and I am not going anywhere. I don't usually write when I am having a hard time for fear of regretting what I say will hurt someone else. No matter what I still love those around me and I want to be the best mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, aunt, niece and granddaughter... I am sure there is more but I am tired and I can't think of them right now.

So Tired

I have been so exhausted lately. I have tried to do different things to help me sleep better. My son is sleeping better than me. I do think that last night I slept better than I have in a long time but I am still tired.
On the other hand I have done awesome on my diet today. I haven't had this good a day in a long time.

Hello

What a great picture. I love my little family. This picture was taken a week before Easter and I just haven't had time to put it up. Tyler makes me look good in any picture.
We have had snow off and on this week and it has been very pretty to look at but I don't have the excitement I had when I was younger. I remember when I was little I would pray that it would magically snow over night and we would miss school. I still miss work when it snows but I am less interested in playing in it and going outside when its falling.
I lost a pound this week. Thats the first time in a few weeks the number went down. I do feel the need to lose weight but I think I have been Karl's cheerleader more than anything lately. There are a few girls at work who do the weight loss together, but I just haven't worked out like I used to.

Twenty pounds!!!!

I am so happy. I have lost 21 lbs since January. It doesn't feel like it yet but I know that my pants are alittle looser and my appetite is shrinking. Its alot easier for me this time, losing weight, but then I know how I cheated before so it also makes it harder. I need to completely cut out chocolate and soda but its alot harder than it seems.

Pictures like these where my son is so adorable and I look pregnant, are very frustrating. Hopefully I can get rid of that big belly and look half way decent again.
