HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

I have been so busy with pictures and kids, that I have completely let go of my blog posting. I am so ready for the hoildays!!! Can't wait to take pics of the kids for our cards this year. I just realized the other day that I haven't sent out a Christmas or New Year's newsletter since Jan. 2006, so that's on my list to do this year!!! Here are a few pics from yesterday....I took pics of Olivia's class for them to give as presents...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!! More tomorrow!!

New Day

My First Day of Weight Watchers

My first meal, 1 and half cups of strawberries, 1 banana, and 2 eggs

I get 25 points a day, the breakfast above was 8 points, so 17 left...lunch will be a fajita chicken wrap, and dinner is baked chicken with baked potato with broc. and cheese...hope that's 25 points...I need to add them up..LOL!

After thinking and thinking about it, I decided to start Weight Watchers yesterday. My starting weight is 179.4 and I am supposed to weigh between 122 and 150...so I have about 50-60 lbs. to loose. If you know me well, you know that I have an ADDICTION to DR. Pepper, so that's been really tough, I have slowly during the last few weeks weaned off to about 2 a day. I have a long road ahead, but I really want this. More to come later today!!

Indian Girl, Vice President, Weight Watchers, Hardwood Floors and Eyeglasses...all in one day!!

WEIGHT WATCHERS!!!!
Me at starting weight of 179.4...only 60 lbs to loose...ONLY!!! First goal is 5% ..8 lbs....then 10%..17lbs.

HARDWOOD FLOORS

The hardwood floors after I pulled the carpet up....yes, I know it's ugly now, but it won't be when I get finished!! The yellow stuff on the floor is carpet glue from the 50's, it does chip off when I beat on it!!

A portion of the stairs done, now the other half tomorrow or this weekend.

EYEGLASSES
Lily got her 1st pair of glasses today!!

A chocolate ending to an UNproductive Day

After not accomplishing much today, except a clean kitchen and the carpet ripped from my bedroom...I was craving chocolate!! So, Olivia and I decided to make no-bake choclate oatmeal cookies at 8:30 p.m....here are a few pics of Momma's little Helper...

A New Week Ahead...

As I sit here on Sunday afternoon, I'm already planning for the new week ahead. I have so much to do, I'm sure like most of you moms. The upcoming week includes finishing the painting the the Game Room, Start the texturing in Lily's room, getting ready for Christmas pics at ECLC school, and super cleaning & organizing my home office. I am going to bed early so I can be readay to rise and shine for this busy week!!!
