Random Tuesday Thoughts, Boys it's a house of boys

If you're feeling Random today go on over and hook yourself up. Click it, you know you want to?




so things were a bit rush here yesterday, I've got a lot on my mind and a lot to get completed, so I started. Did some laundry, and the baking and the dishes, then the boys got home. dun dun dunnnnnnnn Homework! Supper! and No more time left to veg. The days are too long!

Hubbie is still trying to fix the slider on my van, the van is 10yrsold and so he's trying, the door is stuck, wont open. Remember the age of vans with only 1 sliding door? yeah that's me. He's using a lot of fast grinding tools.

Random Status updates I made lastnight...
The sound of a grinder grinding into a Van door sounds almost like someone screaming as a grinder slices off your arm...ok yep heart still works.

Mary had a little lamb sounds good on a drum when it's played by your son!! (<----I never hear enough of that song...)

Next up Hot Cross Buns!

I'm impressed now snot wiping and drumming.... hmmmmm maybe he's going to be good at this?

And that led to this doozy...

TJ is playing the drums to his DVD he got at school for band now he's on lesson 21 and a bit of a perfectionist, but he managed to get the other unbusy arm to play the note that the snot arm was due to play.. (I think I'm untrained in this)

On to other Random, the list of things I've done in the last 3 days no one actually noticed so I'll just jot them down so someone will notice....

Baked a apple crisp, because you know the baking just appears out of thin air...
washed the door leading to the basement
Washed the wooden cupboards, and lysol wiped all the door knobs.
Washed the inside of the oven, maybe they will notice the smoke detector going off less often? no they wont...
Washed the baseboards in the bathroom.
Threw out toys they desperately "NEED" to keep but haven't noticed are missing yet, it's been 3days now. ha!
Trying to win money on the local radio program, could be up to 1000.00 but no one will notice because the line is always busy!

No sighting of the bear today, but I still sent the boys out to the bus stop to wait for the bus. Probably a bad mom moment?

Today we don't have dentist appointments we have Eye Doctor Appointments. I swear I heard the receptionist go "chaching" when I said I needed 3 appointments...She laughed when I told her I totally heard her say that...

HASAY, OK I've Procrastinated Enough

Rather then write here today, I baked(I will not post the food porn), I cleaned the counters, I cleaned the doors to the basement, and the cupboard doors in my kitchen. I'm not losing, I'm stuck again. I lost 4.4 in september, but no more after that. I just need .2 for this week to get to 20lbs "again". The "baby" is now 4.5yrs old. It shouldn't be this hard to get this weight off. I know I was so determined the first time I lost. This time it's harder so much harder.

I've been reading everyone's updates, I've seen some awesome progress, and some great attitude. Me? today? my attitude is in the crapper! I've been walking with MJ around the block, he is in his pink Trike and I'm pushing him with a broom stick so that things go Faster! The pace of a 4.5yrold will get me no where, but a 4.5yrold on a Trike being pushed with a broomstick? now it feels like we're doing something. I've asked for help to keep me motivated from my family. I've asked them to eat the healthy food vs the stuff they really want. I want my boys to grow up healthy but they have their dad's motabolism, they look at food and lose weight, I look at food and gain. The big part of this is that "I" have to do it. So I will keep walking and running after that Trike and Away from the Bear! (yes he's back 4miles from here 2 bears were spotted this morning, you can tell it's their garbage pick up day, tomorrow is ours!)

Meals have been better, more veggies are in the house and less snacking. I've bought their lunch snacks all packaged up. They are a bit bummed that I'm not baking more. They want me to make cinnamon Buns, Apple muffins, cookies and even chocolate chip pancakes. I want none of those things to be in my house. If it's packed I wont touch it. A package of mini chocolate chip cookies? not a problem because they are for the kids lunches, and I only buy enough to do so many days. A package of cheese strings? it's theirs,a 500g chunk of cheese? uh now we've got problems.

I made whole wheat pizza this weekend, spicy beef stirfry and salads, those will work. I've journaled for 4wks straight this month, I bite it a write it so the October goal will be to keep that going, and work on the liquids and less fluff. The fluff will fluff you up everytime!
