So, um I haven't been here in .. uh, a week or more I think. So whatever comes out is prolly just a bunch of jibber jabber, but yeaaaaaaaaa, ok. Here goes.
1) It sucks not being able to stop by here everyday. My blog addicted mind is having withdrawls, however staying soo busy has plum just wiped me out. Most days I am like some hyper crack addict trying to get things done, then by the time night fall comes, BAM - I am out like a light. Pretty unusual for me.
2) The UH, puppy .. might be taking a leave of absence. He is crazy ! .... and he doesn't like the little ones. He is also a biter... likes to bite everything and his teeth are sooooo sharp. It is driving us all madd - because you'll just be sitting there and he'll attack you and bite you, nip at your face or your toes. Not very pleasant. I have no idea either to get him to stop doing that !! Good grief, maybe why I liked my cat better.
3) IT IS TIME ! Time for what - you ask ?
ME ..... To lose weight ! I have already lost some, with spring being here and me being more active and all, but seriously, I am not obese or anything (even tho my Wii says I am) but I will NOT go over 195. This is rediculous. I can't believe that I am this huge anyway ... so I WILL be walking everyday, giving up eating out and the junk food ... but yikes. ... the hardest thing for me will be - GULP - the giving up of soda. SIGH.... my weakness. Some folks drink coffee, I drink soda ... I drink it ALL the time. I hate water ... soda is my weakness.
4) Anyway, what motivated me was a picture I saw ... I don't want people to say .. Good Lord what happened to her ? Age certainly hasn't been her friend .... yikes !!! NOOOOOOOOOOO - I want people to say ... WHAT ? SHE is HOW old ? ... NOOO way !! Or ... SHE has 5 kids ??? Now of course I am not looking to wear a bikini, not that I would anyway, but just to feel better and be a better me. So that is my plan. It won't be easy, but like anything, it feels better once it's done.
5) So , um, I might really go crazy from lack of soda, but if you don't hear from me again - it was because I was commited.
6) Besides that, We here have been SUPER busy with alot of yard work. We landscaped the whole place with Hosta's, Spirea, Barberry and Arborvitiea bushes and are begginning to fix both the front and back porches of this house. The front is the worst - during the winter it settled alot and is really shaky now. The LL said all this work will take place of the rent for a few months so that is good. We are getting ready to paint the garage and around the windows. We also planted a garden. In it are Watermelons, Cantaloupe, Pumpkins, Carrots, Beans, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Onions, Peppers, Lettuce and Zuccinni's. I also had Adam make me windows boxes and in them are Impatients and Vinca vine. I will have some pictures soon and then ya'll can see the big difference we made.
7) I do love being so busy and love being outside in the nice weather. Most days I have been out almost all the hours of being awake. We even do our schooling outside too. It is good and nice to not be trapped inside, it makes me feel so much better being outside. :O)
8) Today is a rainy day, a really rainy day. I don't think it has stopped for one minute. I did get the basement cleaned and the grocery shopping done and of course a little catching up was due here...
9) Ohhh, I almost forgot to mention that they FINALLY came to pick up our "other" van Yesterday. We had gone to court December 22nd, so It took them a long time, but it was nice and for that I am thankful. It will suck having only one vehicle for the time being again .. but hopefully soon that can change.
10) The work that we have been doing on the LL's other houses is making us wonder if this is something we could do full time, like have our own buisness doing. We have had several people ask us if we would help them do things. Another reason we are so busy, but it is goood money, so I am soo not complaining ! I guess staying here isn't quite so bad if it stays like this. Who knows, maybe the Lord has his reasons. It is said that he works in mysterious ways.
11) Welp, that is it .. I think. I hope to be back here sooner this time and blog more, but who knows. Hope all is well with all of you and that ya'll are doing good. I think of ya guys often and miss you.
GOD BLESS.
TAMMIE
I hardly blog anymore at all. *sighs*
ReplyDeleteSounds like things are going great for you. Glad you can get outside and get some work done! That always feels good to get things spruced up for the summer.
How is school going? Are you done for the year?
Going pretty well. Our last day is June 5th here. Some days are irritating and frustrating, others go so well you wonder what happened. Just something I am getting used to. Takes time I suppose. Scheduling seems to be the worst feat for me though.
ReplyDeleteAs far as yard work and such goes, it makes me feel soo good, like I got something accomplished and did some good for the earth.. lol. Not to mention my emotional well being. HAHAHA.... just kidding - really though, it just makes me feel good. :O) So much better than sitting on my tooshie inside all winter here ! LOL :o)
I'm glad things are starting to look up. It sounds like your life is just too busy for blogging right now. Which is ok, just as long as you stop through once a week! :)~
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you. Sounds like you are doing well. I'm loving this weather too. Good luck on the weight loss.
ReplyDeleteI have been adding those generic Crystal Light flavor things to water because I got sick of the water myself. They are pretty good....no calorie and sugar free!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you!
Wow, you are busy! I'm planning to get serious about working out again as soon as school lets out. I'm in need myself. GAH - if only I didn't have to keep putting my life on hold for the AC repair guys! I would be one happy camper!
ReplyDeleteI think that the puppy is trying to play. Does it have toys? Mine all love those little dog stuffed animals. It makes me so sad when people get rid of their animals.
ReplyDeleteI love my soda too. I have switched to green tea and sometimes crystal light. I drink a ton of water but sometimes I get so tired of it.
Hey!! It's good to hear from u! I've been wondering how you were. Like what you've done w/your Page. So you got a "Biter" huh?!..Hehe! Sassy went through the same thing..he'll outgrow it..I promise. Good luck w/the weight-loss! I need to do the same thing..being stuck inside all Winter always makes ya gain some weight..I've been getting out in the yard alot working too..so hopefully that'll help. At least I'm getting a little bit of a tan!..lol I used to drink Soda all the time too..but I now I rarely ever have one and it made a big difference. You'd be surprised at how just cutting out that one little thing makes such a difference. I used to crave it..but I don't anymore. We've planted a few things around here also..Impatients, Petunias, Butterfly Bush, Geraniums..some other plant..I forget what it's called..lol. Oh and we planted 6 Tomato Plants..hope they do well. I'm looking forward to a BLT w/a Homegrown Tomato on it!..Yum!..lol Glad you've been able to get outside alot. Doing your Homeschooling outside sounds nice. It's been raining alot here the last few days..but I think it's suppossed to clear out today and be sunny & warm for a change. We got a pool the other day I'm anxious to set up..it's not huge but at least it's something. You got a good idea there about starting your own business working on houses and all..my Dad retired and he does stuff like that all the time. Makes pretty good money! Well it was good hearing from you! Have a great weekend girl! Take care! Lots of Hugz, Tammy
ReplyDeleteGood Grief!..I didn't realize how LONG that was!! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you'll have a large garden! We like to stay busy outside too when the weather cooperates here. Take care!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you. I wish we could have a veg garden but we can't in our housing development. That's great that you are staying busy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the puppy will outgrow biting. He might just be teething. Have a great week!
My friend just got a new puppy and already has it trained to not nip by swatting it on the nose and saying "NO!" when it would do it. Hasn't chewed on anything in about 2 weeks! So that worked well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the weight loss! :)
OH I have missed you lots!!! Sounds like you are just as busy as ever. Along side of me! LOL OH the training of a puppy!! Wow on them taking so long to come get the old van. Good luck with your weight loss, I don't know if I could give up my pop I am to addictied to it! LOL I do need to lose weight! I wouldn't wear a two piece bathing suit but I would just like to be able to put one on and like what I see in the mirror. I need to lose some too!! So you go girl!! Oh we are going to plant a garden this week! Our first so will see how it goes!! Hope your weekend is going good! Hugs to you!!
