so the blog is feeling like a huge weight lately..no pun intended but just another thing I want to keep up with but I know i can push to the back burner when life gets busy and lately it's real busy. I find myself writing a few to-do lists a day..totally unreasonable and I am searching for extra hours in the days just to feel like I am accomplishing things off those lists!so.. my apologies for the bad blogging BUT I will say this, it's a crazy time of year for my family and school and sports so I know that in umm.. 9 more work days that I will feel like I have more time for this blog because then school commitments will be over and work for the next three beautiful months will also be over!
{sigh} I can feel the stress getting better already;)
until then this is a peek at my to-do list which has to be completed between the hours of 3pm and oh, midnight in the next week if I'm lucky:

OMG.. r u tired yet? lol! I know we all have lists or think of them anyway but it never ends and so the blog suffers.
Mother's day was good. spent the day with my kiddos and I even splurged and had grill and a hand full of doritos.. my weakness and after six weeks.. they tasted so good;)
We also visited family
We have been to lots of baseball games for Jacob and he also was honored at Hononegah for awards night.
lots of work on my Washington project.. my living room is a mess-
Stacey helped me last weekend to get flowers and plant them in big pots for the porch and I am hoping to keep them alive;)
We cut down a tree.. a little one and cleaned up others..trimming them down. I also got my new little birdhouse in a tree out front.. so cute.. thanks Maggie;)
stopped at jacque's for her graduation open house and that was so fun to catch up with the girls from COL. too long but funny how after years you can fall right into place and it feels like no time has passed?
as for the weight.. I have lost 23 pounds as of Sunday night but I have been too relaxed about it and eating off plan too much so the scale tonight.. Tuesday, did not say 23 pounds any more:( so.. back to the grind!
I think we will be finishing what food we have in the pantry for Nutrisystem and then we are going to try to continue but buy healthy and try it. We have more than a month left of food still.
my size ten jeans are so baggy on me.. looks like i dont have a butt and they fall loose to my hips. .where they were too tight two months ago and had a very ugly muffin top bulging out the top that was squeezed right at my waist.. that has to be better than the number on the scale for me.. feeling it or feeling less;)
Shane joined me at the Y last week and it pushed me to go and work harder so i hope we will try to go together as much as possible.. maybe early before he goes to work this summer. than kgoodness for him through this diet..pushing me. He is adding sit ups to his routine. I haven't felt the desire to do that. hate sit ups!
it's after 1:30am but i will add this to a late tuesday night post. I have to try to get a little sleep.. up even earlier tomorrow than usual becuase i am signed up to bring monkey bread to work for staff breakfast. Lets see how that will power holds up tomorrow. yikes:)
Have a good rest of the week! Please know i am thinking of you and this damn blog even when life gets in the way of my posts
The weight you have lost is wonderful
I meant to tell you that you looked great when I stopped by to pick up monthly kit.
keep up the good work
oh and slow down before you get sick.
if you see some-one without a smile
give them one of yours....

I look forward to seeing your weight loss posts ;) I walked this week and am seriously contemplating weightwatchers again. I'm hoping my less busy schedule and just more eating at home will help too!
