I will get Cole to show me how to put the pictures from my phone onto the computer again. Its been a while and I don't remember.. I'm not very good at computer stuff.. duh!!!   I only have a few pictures. I can't believe I didn't take more I'm so mad at myself..Oh well I guess we will have to have a re-play...I was so bad yesterday all I did was lay around and read.. well I cooked chicken and rice too.. I finished my book, sooo good!! Today I will be going to Hastings and getting the second one.. No wonder everyone has been going nuts over these books..  Our plan this weekend is to finish up all the projects on the house so Brendy can list it ... We will see... So aggrivated we got a letter from the IRS yesterday saying we screwed up on our 2009 tax return and we owe them like $2600. OUCH!!!  Well we use TaxAct every year and I don't see how we made the mistake that the IRS said we made. so this weekend Jeff and I have to pull out the 2009 forms and go over everything.. I could have made a mistake it was a hard year for us. that was the year Jeff got laid off and we had to pull out his retirement to survive untill unemployment kicked in.. So there was alot of different questions on TaxAct than normal... We will see.. If we do owe them at least we can do a payment plan... Never fails finially debt free and shit happens...

I'm so bad

This week has been a total bust. I know I said I was going to start back exercising , but it just isn't in me. I have only exercised 1 day this week and only for an hour.. so lazy!!   I get in moods where all I want to do is read.. Yes I love to read.. Well I'm in one of those moods. I started to re-read Twilight begining with Edwards few chapters. Midnight sun or something like that. I don't even know the real name I just no where to find it online. So I finished up with that its only 12 chapters so it didn't take me very long... Then I was going to start Twilight last night and remembered I have a new book I haven't read yet. I bought it a while back when all the hoop law was going on about it . Its  The Hunger Games... The first few chapters were really hard to get into, but I'm glad I stayed with it, cause its really getting good. No wonder they are making a movie about it..At least when I'm in these reading moods it keeps me from eating.. ..... My tattoo is driving me crazy, it is itchen .. I keep patting it , but really only the shower water makes it feel better.. I will be glad when it stops.. okay gonna get off here and read..

got the blahs

Not really much to say .. Jeff is sick , so I hope he feels better soon and none of us catch it.. Its just a head cold. I just read all day yesterday it was nice . I haven't done that in a long time.. Get my hair cut today and run to HEB. Thats it

tired now!

I have been cleaning and doing laundry all day. It is now close to 3 and I still have one load in dryer, one waiting to be dried and one in washer.. I still have my room and the den to clean.. Hey but everything else is done.. I am taking a break .. Jeff won't be home tonight so I won't be cooking.. Projects for this weekend , finish walls in two rooms and shampoo carpets.. Then I'm calling Brendy to put the house on the market... Hopefully it will work out as planned..

UGG!

Its really funny how your so happy to be going away , then so happy to be home..My dogs seemed more excited to have me home than my kid did. Sasha would not stop licking me.  Jeff sat on the bed while I unpacked listening too all of our weekend stories.. He loved my tattoo by the way. He said my mom called him after I sent her a picture of it asking him what he thought about my tattoo.. Too funny..He told her that he was the one that picked it out for me.. she didn't have much to say about it after that.. He also agreed if we were to have gone smaller it wouldn't have turned out so well..He only did two of the honey do's while I was gone.. and one of them didn't work so I still have to spend the $65 on getting the stupid carpet fixed.. It really pisses me off that one little spot cost so much. I mean really its just bonding two parts together that are only 2 inches away from each other..Today I feel so bloated , my tummy even looks like I'm pregnant... I began my diet today , I really feel my tummy will thank me instead of growl at me.. oh yea the only complaint that my dear sweet husband had was that I didn't buy anything...He is such a keeper...I had such a fabulous time I'm still smiling thinking about how much fun we all had...I do believe that we should seriously make it a point to have a girls weekend at least once a year... Luv u guys!!!!

Too quiet

Well I saw Jeff and Jordan off this morning about 5 , then I laid back down and fell asleep. I slept until 9:45. Sooooo not me, I must have been tired from all the restless nights I've been having.... I have the whole day to myself. It feels really strange. I'm sitting here in my gown with no robe on , no bra either just my gown.. very strange I keep looking over my shoulder like I should get dressed or something.. My plan today is to pack , go get cash, baileys and maybe squeeze in a walk/ run on the tredmil. Yesterday I did all the laundry even Jordan and Cole's. It was funny cause Jordan said " mom you in the laundry mood today "  of course not,  just thought I would be nice... Cole stayed at Sam's last night so he doesn't know what a great mom I was yesterday..While doing the laundry I had me aTwilight a-thon yes I sat and watched 1,2,3  it was great. Would have been a perfect day if I would have exercised first, but nope didn't happen.. I may just wait until Monday to start hardcore again. I mean really I've missed two days already is me exercising today gonna make any difference.. Hmm?    1 DAY !!!!!!!!!  I can't believe its finially here...

need to exercise

So last week I had it all set in my head my whole work out schedule for this week. Cause I was still trying for the 5 pounds off.. I exercised all weekend and Monday, but did not yesterday and really not feeling it today. I'm doing laundry today and just really want to lay out in the pool. I will be home alone tomorrow. Jordan will be going with Jeff, because he has to go to Kansas. At first we were going to have Sam come over Thursday night and stay with Jordan on Friday, but now that Jeff will be out of the state and me out of town , I really wanted Jordan to be with one of his parents. I went yesterday and got my nails done and bought a new strapeless bra, but after trying it on with my clothes it doesn't fit any different than my old strapeless so I think I will take it back. I don't know yet, still thinking about it. I tried on like 6 bra's and after all the time I spent I just don't know if Iwant to take it back.  A lady came and looked at the house yesterday. Cole works with her boyfriend. I don't think she liked it. She didn't really have anything to say. I told Jeff that was the last person I was letting come look at the house untill I know that they have been approved for a loan and are seriously buying a house. I don't like strangers in my house.. yo !  I'm so excited about this weekend. I told Jeff I really don't care what we do. We could rent movies and stay in the hotel for all I care. Its just the point of being away. No mommy or wife. Just me! I will be wearing my new clothes that I bought a few weeks ago from Ross. One dress I haven't wore yet because it shows a lot of cleavage, and I'm not really comfortable with that. But I put the dress on last night for Jeff and Cole and they both said it looked good. So I'm going way out of my box and am wearing it... 2 DAYS !!!!!!

booze and dieting doesn't work

Well I caved last night and drank , I thought to myself I only had a small lunch about 2 so surely me drinking wouldn't make that big a difference in my weight.. Wrong!!!  So no more drinking until our weekend. I think I can handle it , cause its only 3 days away!!!!!! I so wanted to be 5 pounds lighter for our weekend , so that when I gorged myself it would be okay.. Don't see it happening now.. I printed out both tattoo's and I think I'm going to get this one, its more me. More girly and wimsical... Today I paint ..... (maybe)   

good day

Today was really a great day.. got my exercise done , got a phone call from someone interested in looking at the house. talked to Brendy my realitor/cousin about what if we sale the house to someone without getting another realitor envolved and she said we would make more money that way. So that was good news. Now if only it works out that way. We went and saw Harry Potter movie and it was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. Now can't wait to see Breaking Dawn... I don't have to cook tonight cause there is plenty of roast for left overs. Yea i hate to cook.... Got ink for the printer so I can print out my two dragonfly pictures. all in all a pretty good day.. I am trying not to have a drink, but really wanting one... Lacey can you pick me up Friday morning? If so what time we heading out? Can't wait till this weekend!!

One job leads to more

I'm tired of working on this house.. We finished the trim yesterday so today I was going to paint, but oh no I have to kiltz it first. After I did that I wasn't in the mood to paint. Jeff fixed Cole's holes in his walls so now I have to paint his room too. Then we found a hole behind a mirror in the office. Jeff fixed it now I have to paint the office too. I'm thinking these rooms will have an accent wall. I don't care that all the paint we have is semi-gloss and the paint that is already on the walls is flat. I don't want to spend anymore money on paint. I have lots of half gallon paint. So I thought I could mix a few and come up with a color and paint two walls and be done. Then we discovered other things that have to be done. I had to make a list cause I know I would forget. Its mostly just touch up paint here and there. Thank God we still have all the paint needed for the touch ups.. I blew my no drinking till our weekend , Oops!  Jordan and I are going to go see the new Harry Potter movie tomorrow I can't wait to see it. Everyone says its really good.. Tuesday I will paint. Wednesday I will go get my nails done and pick up things needed for our girls weekend. Thursday I will pack for girls weekend. I will not be cleaning house before I leave cause 3 guys home alone for a weekend = mess. I mean its not like we live in a pig pin so it will be fine. I always pick up and clean through out the day anyway..I have to decide on what tattoo and get ink for my printer. I was up a lot last night thinking about it. I like both dragonflies , so I think I will print them both out and see which one the tattoo guy will do for the cheapest and the shortest of time. I don't want yall to have to be waiting on me...I'm so excited about our get away. I have not had a girls weekend since we went to six flags that one time.. Cole was like maybe one years old. So that makes it 18 years ago..

or this one

with out the take me as i am part.

New idea

Okay so after talking to Laura about my foot tattoo, I have decided to wait on the foot. We will be doing a lot of walking and I don't want to be in pain. I want to enjoy shopping. So , Jeff and I came up with a new tattoo idea. Its a dragonfly on my shoulder. I like what dragonflies stand for and I like how they look. So we found a really cool one tell me what you think. It might be too detailed for our quick tattoo stop, and I know it will cost me . And I'm still open for sugestions ... I still want the lady bug on my toe , but I think I will wait till some other time to get it done. I have to get ink for our printer so I can print  up the new tattoo for Friday. Laura thank you for all your hard work searching for a lady bug for me and I'm sorry I have changed my mind..Tomorrow I begin to paint. Jeff got all the trim work done so now its my turn to work..

stupid tree

Well crap, the tree must come down and with that there goes a chunk of our money that we didn't want to spend on a house we are moving out of.  But for the safety of my child , my pets, and my house I guess we must spend the money to have it done. I could call around and get different bids, but he can take care of it today . And he moved the tree too, so thats pretty scary. I don't want to wait any longer just having the dogs go out to potty is a risk. Not to mention we can't use the pool either cause the tree might fall on us. So down it will come and peace of mind will be granted. We were gonna go see Harry Potter today , but now we will wait till Monday. The tree guy said it should only take 5 hrs. I have been thinking a lot about my lady bug tattoo, even though I really want it on my foot maybe I should put it some place else. I went on line to get more idea's of making it worth my money if I kept it on my foot. And I'm just not sure. I like the vine , but I'm not really a flower kind of girl. I like my tattoo's to mean stuff and the only flower that really means anything to me is the honeysuckle and I don't know if that would look good on my foot with a ladybug. I just don't know. Then I got to looking at the ladybug by its self and thought maybe I could just put it on my shoulder. Hmm? any idea's???

just our luck

Yesterday I discovered the one and only tree in our back yard that I actually like has a huge crack running from the middle of the trunk down to the ground. Jeff pushed on the tree and it moved. Not good. If it falls it will land on the pool and take down the cable company line or it could go the other direction and hit the house. So today I have to call a tree guy to see what needs to be done. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this tree we are  moving for crying out loud. But I don't want it falling either..I need to go to the grocery store, but I hate spending all that money on food. Jeff won't be home tonight so we might just eat grilled cheese sandwiches or something simple . Cole's jeep is broke down and he will need me to go get the part for him once he hunts it down. Yuk, I hate doing car crap.. Men always look at me like I'm some dumb female. Which when it comes to car parts I am..Man I'm grouchy this morning maybe its cause I haven't had my thyroid pills in 4 days. They should be here today. I have noticed just in 4 days that I have no energy I have been taking naps again during the day. And my feet have started tingling again.. Its amazing how one little pill can make such a big difference..

Today was a lazy day for me.. I did two loads of clothes, two loads of towels, and washed two blankets, exercised my two hours , cooked burgers on the grill. Yep lazy day!!  I have discovered a tree in our back yard is split right down the middle. It is pretty scary cause if it falls it will land on our pool and take a few power lines with it.. Jeff wants me to be packing , but I'm just not feeling it. I mean really why bother until I know the house is sold. We can't move until it sale's . I may be painting next week depending on if Jeff can finish up the trim project. Cole needs to pack up his room so I can paint it also. He has posters and pictures all over his walls. I hate painting. Well really its not the actual painting part its the prepping before and the cleaning afterwards, and the cut in. I hate to cut in, but I don't mind the rolling part. Okay so maybe I do hate painting..  8 DAYS!!!!

its hot!

Well I have scrounged up 10 boxes. I think thats enough,  HAAAA!!!!!   I really don't have much to say. Just exercise, school , clean house, cook, laundry thats my life... Getting supper stoked about our get away. Can't believe its 10 days away. I'm trying to figure out what shoes I am going to wear since my tatt. will be on my toe/foot area. I have decided no booze until our weekend, I bet I drink at least 4 nights a week now. I don't eat after 3 pm so having a drink in the evening curves my appatite. Plus it just makes all those stupid tv shows more enjoyable.. I now call it my cocktail hour... I just need to find a less fatening drink then I would really be on cloud nine.. Jordan will finially be done with school July 28th. I told him I would give him a month off then we start the next grade level. Well thats all I got for now..

I don't know why I never think about ordering stuff online. I guess I'm an on hands kinda of girl. I did order my pills they should be here by Thursday. Yesterday we finished up the a/c vents. When Jeff went to put the one back up in the living room it didn't fit back exactly so now it looks like I missed a spot when I painted 4 years ago. And I have no idea if I have the color left or even what it was to get more. We started on the trim work and that became a disaster. Lesson learned the right tools make a huge difference. So we like one small piece being done , but can't finish it until Jeff hunts down the proper tool to make the stupid cut. Then I can paint.. We got a few boxes yesterday and gonna get some more today. I'm going to start packing up stuff and deciding whats going in our yard sale. It seemed like yesterday we took one step forward and two steps back, maybe thats why all these projects were never finished to begin with..

We are listing our house!

Well we are for sure moving , Jeff got the word Friday.. We have also decided not to owner finiance. We just want to be rid of this house and not have to stress over what if who ever was to buy it didn't make the payment. Then we would have to do it and plus the headacke of kicking them out. So even though we may not make much money off of the house it will be better for us in the end. Yesterday we cleaned and painted the a/c vents. Today Jeff will cut and nail up some trim then I will paint . We have discovered Cole's room is in desperate need of paint so I will be painting that too. I also will start packing up stuff and cleaning like a crazy person..The good news is we don't have to move until the house sale's so at least we won't be rushed..I have drank and ate junk all weekend and boy do my feet hurt. Since I don't have my thyroid pills I really shouldn't have been bad over the weekend. Today is a new day Right!  Well I'm gonna go cook breakfast , we haven't had breakfast food in over a month. Then its off to Lowe's and WalMart...

Back

Calob's wife is always complaining about something. Either he is too lovey or not enough. She is never happy. Well yesterday he was here in town for his uncle's funeral and she was upset cause he didn't talk to her much . She stayed in Waxahachie. She didn't understand why he didn't text her back right away or tell her he loved her every single time they talked. So now she wants out of the marriage. I told Calob to suck it up and call her bluff. Tell her to pack her shit and get out. Life is too short to walk on egg shells. They have only been married for two years and its constantly something with her.. Makes me just want to slap the shit out of her.. He is a great guy, he works, he don't cheat, beat her, or anything to make her unhappy. All he wants is for to be happy, and its never enough. They both work till 10 tonight and she won't be coming home till after 4 tomorrow.  So it probably won't be till tomorrow before they can talk. I told Calob she is acting like a high school girl instead of a married woman.. Boy I love my boring life! My husband may not always be mister perfect , but I wouldn't give him up for nothing.. What he lacks in some ways he makes up for where it really counts!!  So onto something better. Two weeks , YEA!!!!!  It will be here before we know it...

Sunshine!

Well this morning since it was only in the 90's Jordan and I went swimming.. I needed some sun , I haven't laid out in a while. And I won't get too after my tattoo for a few weeks so I'm gonna take advantage of it now.. It was a nice morning till I got out of the pool.. Calob my baby brother and his wife are fighting again. She loves drama.. She is 25 and a middle child so I think that she always had to stir the pot to get attention at home. Any way he is pretty tore up cause he really don't know what he is doing wrong.. oh crap gotta go i will finish later..

Well Sh*t !!

Today started out good. Got my exercise done, took Jordan to see Super 8. Great movie we loved it. Then ran out to Sam's to pick up a few items and ended up buying some Baileys knock off there. I 've had it before it's good and way cheaper. Then ran to the Health Store to get my natural Thyroid supplement and this is where my good day starts to go bad. They are out, and don't expect any for two weeks. I have two pills left. I'm kinda freaking a bit. Two weeks whats that going to do to my body. She said there was another one I could take if I can't handle the two weeks. Maybe it will come sooner and I don't have to try something knew. Then we walk in the front door and its HOT !  I know its like 104 outside and so its not going to feel super cold in here , but its like 85 in the house.. So I call Jeff , who by the way won't be home till tomorrow. He walks me through some steps. Our a/c has froze , I can see the ice on the tubes. So now we wait for the ice to melt. Then he will walk me through whats next.. I ask him why there is ice and he tells me we must be low on free-on. Thank God we have some , but he's not here to put it in. So if what he tells me to do doesn't fix our problen till he gets home, Its gonna be hot in the house tonight.. I really need a drink NOW!!

Yea!

I'm so proud of myself. I ate responsibly and exercised my two hours and I lost 3 pounds. Today I  have errands to run and I'm really wanting some Bailey's, but I know its so bad for the weight loss. I got nothing else!

back on track today

I got on the scale it was bad very very bad.. All the eating out and drinking really hit me hard. I gained 5 pounds since my last weigh in which was Thursday. We ate out for 5 days so yep a pound a day. Eating out sucks, but sure makes life easier. Those hcg drops really messed with my period so now I don't know when I'm going to start. I was suppose to start on Monday, but it didn't happen. I sure hope its done with before our weekend that would really suck. Today I begin my no starches and exercise again..I did exercise one time at mom's . She has a bowflex tredclimber. I don't think I did it right cause it never did anything but like a tredmil. It was so short I kept falling off the back end. I have long legs and I like to use them when I walk. I really don't have much else to talk about.

great time

We had such a great time over the weekend. Friday kinda sucked but other than that it was good.. We left here Friday morning about 10:30 got to New Fairview about 3. Yes its a long fricken ways up there. We did stop once to let the dogs potty and us.. Jeff had problems unloading so he didn't get to New Fairview till 4. So we just parked under a tree and let the dogs play and stretch and waited for him. When he finially came we got stuck in a stupid traffic jam , 22 miles took us 1 hour. We didn't get to my mom's until 6:30. Long fricken day in the car , my butt hurt so bad! No ass - syndrome.. Saturday was fun , Jordan hung out with my mom so it was just me and Jeff. We went to some gun place. Jeff was in heaven. We spent like 2 hours in this place. He was so giddy, I kid you not it was like a kid in a candy store. He bought some gun stuff and then we went to Cabela's. We didn't stay too long there they didn't have what he was looking for. We got back to my  mom's about 6. Then we all went to this bbq place that has a live band, it was also byob. So we ate and drank and danced. My mom even got out there and rock and rolled with us. Jeff danced one time with me. Hey its one more time than usual.. Then Sunday we went and looked at 5 houses that we pulled up on the internet. They were all a Big NO!  We have decided that we want a little land not much just a half to one acre of land. The only problem is with what we want to spend on buying a new house plus land everything is a doublewide. Which if its a new doublewide i don't mind cause we could always do more to it if we got it cheap enough.. But Sunday's houses were not right for us. I have the name of a Realtor that I'm gonna get in touch with and see if she can find us anything good.. Then we came home on Monday another long day in the car . Today I have to go to WalMart and get pool stuff my pool is green. and I have so much laundry I need to do. I slept until 9:30 this morning thats really late for me so I'm just now having my second cup of coffee. I need to exercise , but I think I will wait till tonight. I ate so many starches over the weekend and not one vegetable I don't even want to get on the scale.. Well its time to get busy..

still here

My bad... I thought we would be leaving when Jeff leaves but he had to go to Sonora to get his load , so we won't leave until 10:30. Which gives me time to blog a bit.. Yesterday was great got my nails done they turned out pretty and got my hair cut I feel so much better now.. I love my spikey hair short its so easy to fix... oh and guess what... my color looks fabulous with my shorter hair.. Becky put some shiney stuff on my hair before she styled it .. Love it got to have it.. She is getting me some.. Some other possibilities on our house came up last night.. My aunt has some family that just move here and they are looking to owner finance or rent so we have been talking . They need a place in about a month so I  don't know if that is good for us, but hey God only knows..Its going to be crazy at my moms this weekend. My brother and his wife had to move in there for a bit. There lease was up and rent jumped up and they were trying to buy a house but it fell through.. So there will be alot of us and 7 dogs.. This would not be uncomfortable if my mom still lived in her beautiful mansion. It really was a large house like 3500 sq. ft. but they were never home. The life of a truck driver . So they down sized into a double wide. Really smart of them I mean there only home 2 days a week. Why pay a fortune for house when your not there to enjoy it..Well its time to wake Jordan and get ready , Jeff wants me pulling out of the drive way at 10:30 so we will meet on time.. Bye
