A Blink

Somewhere along the line my adorable little man turned into a young man! I turned around and discovered this kiddo who had become kind. generous. caring. athletic. and funny! You have a heart for the underdog and all things fair and equal. You love to read and play video games. You have a talent for sports and rocking out on that guitar of yours....

12 Years ago you made me a mom.. We've grown up together you and I. Thank you Isaac for helping me become the mom you and your sister and brother needed.. It's a joy and a blessing!!

silence

My social "stockpile" for lack of a better word is gone! Empty! Depleted! Drained of all small talk and no so small talk! I am in desperate need of quiet, silence, schedules for my children! Please no talking to or near mom/Janet for the next.................................6weeks at least.. Thank You!

Zoo fun with cousins

I named her Wind

She's just a baby and I love her :-)

A few of my fav's

Sniffle

July is almost over... O*V*E*R I can't stand it... We have been having so much fun this summer(obviously with lack of blogging)I don't want it to end... play dates, beach dates, pool dates, sleep overs, late night movies.. Oh and a side of reading and math just about every day.. I have been forgetting my camera each and every day....stinks..... Onto the rest of summer...

I am starting week 4 of no facebook and you know what..... I didn't even turn the computer on the past 2 days!! Crazy!! It was really hard at first feeling so disconnected to friends and play dates and things but I've adjusted and think I may be a better mom because of it :) I can tell you that I will not go back to the facebook hussy that I was before :-)

Last.....

They are growing up way to fast!

Awesomeness

Girl Scout troop 4015 taking a limo from school to play with horses! Them some happyyyyy girls :-)

A WHOLE month! I can't believe i made it the entire month, esp. without cheating even once.. WOOHOO! I learned so much about myself it's awesome! I'm in an amazing place for the first time in almost a year. I lost 12 pounds I only want all the variety back of the good things I like to eat(fruits/veggies) I hope to continue with the amazing self awareness and keep on loosing..

STILL FASTING.......................................week 3 is almost over...............I miss cereal, banana's, strawberries, oatmeal, grapes, carrots, mushrooms, dressing, bbq sauce, cucumbers, That massive loaf of cheesy bread in my cupboard, and lots of other things!!! Staying strong and god is doing some awesome things in me!

Tomorrow(Saturday) will be 2 weeks of this "fast"... This week flew by... That doesn't mean it hasn't been hard, it has and at this very moment is(dessert anyone)!! I am already seeing a bunch of wonderful changes both physically and mentally :) I don't feel so "bloated" or "sluggish". I still get tired, very tired at the same times each day but when I lay down I'm not able to sleep, just think and pray, it's pretty awesome... I have a new and deeper understanding of those people who don't get choices when it comes eating. Those that must eat to survive not because this or that sounds good. It really blows my mind.... I have lost 6 pounds, something I haven't been able to do in over a year :-) I find myself more................................................content to just be(if that makes sense) I have 2weeks left of this "fast" and I am going to devote them to portion control and outward happiness and just see what happens..... ***mother's day is also when we are celebrating Norah's 8th birthday, all bets are off that day***

Survivor

I survived the weekend, Fast intact... Amongst the solo parenting, 2 days at a girlfriends doing a garage sale with a dozen kiddo's, MAJOR girl meltdown... I survived it all without ANY chocolate or carbs.... Look at my little man playing his first soccer game :-) You know the Blondie with the SHORT hair... Week 2 is under way, please be kind, PLEASE!!
