life goes on.......

Wow, i can't believe it's been two months since my last post but life got in the way...once again.

Kids are back in school and my little one has just started pre-school. I think that the first day was harder on me than on her...wait...it wasn't hard on her at all. She was so happy to go she forgot to kiss me goodbye....sure i got a wave but it's not the same. Maybe i was hoping she'd grab my skirt (or pants) and beg me not to leave her there like both her brothers did...but then again it did make me feel less guilty than leaving a crying child so that went well....tomorrow i'm planning and i do mean planning (let's see if i actually do it) on joining a gym to keep me busy Oh Hell..let's be honest...it's to get me in shape. So these are my plans as of now...i'll let you know what happens later....

Not sure what to call this post, so i'll just skip the intro. Summer is going by soooo fast...i don't know if it has to do with me being busy with the kids all day or just the fact that time does fly by really fast (That's what my mother used to tell me when i was a kid but i never believed her) Only one month and a half before school starts and i freaked my older kids by starting to buy school supplies (i get things on sale as much as possible)....They were sad thinking i was looking forward to them already going back to school...but had to explain that it wasn't that at all....i was just trying to get the best sales possible, and you can't really go wrong buying a pack of 200 lined papers for 0.69$...or 3 steadler erasers for 0.99$ now can you? I'll have both boys in high school this year...i can hardly believe it....one will be in grade 9 the other in grade 7 (which is secondary 1 and 3 in the french school system)...Time flies....I feel like i'm getting older so thank God i still have my little princess at home to keep me busy (she'll be going to pre-school only two mornings a week). Anyhow time to go check on the children....we still havent' gone anywhere on vacation...i've been reading up on other peoples vacations and i'm starting to get jealous......i need to go somewhere soon...so wish me luck.

i can't believe it's been sooo long

Sorry about these long delays, but i have been sooo busy lately. The kids finished school on June 22nd, So now i have them home all day everyday, and i have to keep them intertained. I can't really complain as they are really good kids. They help me out with the cleaning, they play with their sister when asked to keep her busy while i do something else...and basically anything else i ask of them, how lucky am i?....i know, i know i'm blessed!. My husband has started a new job a few weeks ago and he's working on this huge financing project, which in turn means we can't plan a vacation until he is done which is driving me crazy considering it gets delayed week after week....so we are all living on standby. The rewards will be great when this deal gets done though. ..As far as my diet, things have been slow. I haven't lost any more weight (might have something to do with my lack of trying :) Anyhow...Life is generally very good...our days are warm....lots of soccer nights..(each boy plays two nights a week)....and we are looking forward to to some kind of vacation, even if only across the border. I hope everyone is well...

Uptade

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I'm just not good at keeping track of my toughts and posting about them here, If i don't post as soon as i have (think i have) something good to post about i forget to do so ... An update about my lifestyle change..( A.K.A. DIET) ....i have now lost 11 pounds. Great! but still slow to me. It's still not enough for me to feel or see a change. I think that's when i'll have the motivating boost, as soon as i can notice a change. So i'm hanging in there taking it one day at a time. How is everyone esle doing?..i know many of you are trying to loose a few pounds and i'd love to know how you're doing. Till then ....keep up the good work!!

Sorry it's been a while.

Well, i started my diet (or life change as some like to call it ) on monday May 7th. So far i have lost 6 pounds. Some say it's allot in a week , but you have to keep in mind that it's just the first week, when in general we loose the most water weight and then the weight comes down gradually. I wish i could already see and feel a difference, but it's going to take allot of time and patience on my part. I struggle with dieting everytime. Why is it that when you can't eat something, that's the exact food you crave at that particular moment?. I never eat coookies, but this week i would even eat the cookie crumbs left over after my kids finish the little bags. What's up with that? I know it's going to take time and the weight should come off at some point, i'm just waiting to fit in my clothes better. My weight was 191lbs and now i'm down to 185lbs. Wish me luck!

Dieting

I need to loose weight!!!...like who doesn't?....no, but seriously....i've thinking about going on yet another diet for weeks now but i lack motivation. I have lost 60lbs in the past so know i can do it again..but man!..it's harder this time. I'm always looking for the fastest way to loose the weight...does anyone have any suggestions?....i'm almost willing to do anything....short of starving myself...i weigh more now than i did 6 weeks after giving birth 3 and a half years ago...around 30lbs more i would say...how depressing is that?.....what's up with that???......i need serious help and some kind of motivation....Help!!!! I would love you hear of anyone's proven weight loss secrest ....so bring it on......

so much harder than i thought

This blogging is soooo much harder than i thought, not because i don't have much to say (I have plenty on my mind) but because of my lack of time. I usually wake up at 6:45 am....i run downstairs into the kitchen, turn the coffeemaker on (i prepare it the night before), throw in a toast or bagel for my husband, get the kids lunch boxes filled, put them in the hallway in plain view, get my daughter's milk warmed up, set the table for breakfast, call my husband down, (he's upstairs getting ready..i ask the kids what they want to eat...prepare that......hubby comes...eats and off he goes. My daughter comes down for her milk...kids eat ..i run up to get dressed (at least presentable) so that i can drive my younger son to school.....off we go at 7:45. Come back, I then get my daughter dressed and do her hair. I then proceed to shower....change again...put on make up....get two kids in car ...and head off to play group...oh! and drop my older son off at his highschool on the way....Playgroup starts at 9:00. we usually leave there at 1:00pm....then it's off for some errands..pick up younger son at 3:05...back home.....start homework....supper...play with my daughter (all through out the day )....clean up the kitchen....do the beds ...throw in a load of laundry....answer the many questions my daughter asks of me... Then my older son comes in at 4:30pm...we start on his homework (for some reason he always asks for help).... i set the table for supper, at 6:50pm...hubby comes home.....we eat....clean up after supper....it's already 7:45....i get my daughter in a bath...prepare lunches for the next day and the coffee.....put everyone to bed by 9:00pm....and then i'm totally exhausted...i shower ( i know i shower allot).....and that's when i can finally cuddle up to my husband...and watch some tv.....i could come down to blog then but honestly i'm just way too tired... This is a typical day for me........so i'll blog as often as i could butdon't hold it against me if i don't do it often enough....
