Well, so much for blogging more regularly and eating healthy! HA!

The last couple of months have been rough. Starting May 3, I got a migraine and it's not gone yet. I have started some new meds and am hoping that they work. They are a little better, but not gone yet.

I got a job...and lost it 2 weeks later. the reason "not a good fit for the company". What the hell does that mean? I have no idea.

We camped the entire last week and had a relaxing blast.

Madilyn turned 7 on June 10. I can't believe my baby is 7. Where has time gone? She is definitely no longer the 3 pound baby I gave birth to. We didn't have a big party for her this year. But some great friends came through for me and sent her cards.

I have been asked to teach some classes at the Wilmington library. I am excited about this!

I think that is all...I can't remember...my head hurts, remember?

April 4, 2011

So, tomorrow starts my Healthy Eating! I am excited to get back on track. I am setting my first goal at 50 pounds. I'm excited to get started and I have a wonderful partner in crime, Trisha. She and I are going to do great!!!!

Madilyn is having her cousins over for the weekend. Hannah, Kaylee, and Madilyn are having a blast. The girls came home with Steve from work last night. We had dinner and they played until way to late! LOL!!!! They were up early and playing like crazy girls! Including jumping on the bed. After a breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast, they are off again. Up the stairs...down the stairs...up the stairs...down the stairs....oy! Wonder which one is going to fall down them first!

Tonight I am going to the Wilmington Library to scrapbook with friends overnight. It is going to make for a long tomorrow, but soooo worth it. Mary, Nikki, Trisha, April...all coming from out of town. Then there are the crazy locals....Mary, Robbie, Katie, Ethel! And I think Aunt Jane is joining us as well. It should be a great time! I can't wait! And that leave Steve with all three girls! bwahahahahahahaha! I'm wondering which girls will be beaten first! LOL!

Annoyed at myself

So I realized today that I read several blogs a few times a week. And I get annoyed that some of them haven't been updated in almost a month. This shouldn't annoy me...these people don't blog for me. But I love looking at their creations and I love reading about their lives. Now, I come to my blog and realize that if you were following my blog, you too would be annoyed. I update so infrequently! And I blame facebook. I upload pictures there, and update about our lives there. It's sad really! And I said at the beginning of this year that I would do better...ya, right! So here it is, 30 minutes from April first...and I am going to declare to do better once again.

Tomorrow I have an interview for a job! We REALLY need me to get this job!

Madilyn's cousin are going to spend the weekend at our house this weekend.

On Saturday, I get to scrap with some of my bff's. Nikki, April, Mary, Trisha, Robbie, and Katie! I can't wait. Although, Sunday will be a very long day. It's an overnighter at the Wilmington Library. From 6 pm to 11 am. I will be one tired momma on Sunday. But hopefully, I will have to get up bright and early for work on Monday! So if you are reading this, say a little prayer for me!!!

ONLY TWO WEEKS!!!!

Two weeks from tomorrow. I can't believe it's almost here. I am super excited and have a ton of stuff that needs doing. All little things of course! We are at 120. The most we've had to date. I still have last minute donations trickling in! Now to sort all that stuff. It's fun to look at, but disappointing that I can't add it to my own stash.

If you have friends that are unable to attend, please tell them about this blog. There will be challenges and prizes here too!!!!

New Addition to our family!

Meet Bailey... She is part beagle, part chihuahua. She is the light of Madilyn's eye! And we love her!

Madilyn's Tonsilectomy

On February 8, Madilyn had her tonsils and adenoid removed. It was scarier for me than her I think! LOL! She was a trooper. She came home the night of the surgery and ate some salisbury steak. I am so proud of how she acted and reacted during the whole ordeal. And of course, I took some pictures.
