Lots of changes coming!!

First of all let me say we had a very busy weekend. Trace had a tournament in Sparta this weekend so we were at the ball park ALL weekend. But they did great they ended up coming in first they won 4 out of 5 of their games. I was so glad we beat the Smyrna Outlaws in the championship game theres something about them I don't like. They are so....."cocky" there's nothing wrong with being good but come on. On the other hand this will most likely be my last week at work. The owner is closing some of our offices and yes mine is one of them. I guess its a blessing in a way. I get to stay home for the summer AGAIN and enjoy the kids. I found myself saying last night at applebees that I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow...and then I stopped and said oh well I won't be after this week. We didn't get home until about 10:00 so it was late. I figure 300.00 a week isn't bad to sit at home. I'm seriously thinking about going back to school, I've been in the finance business for about 9 yrs and I think I need to find a new occupation. We will see. Meredith got a new bunny thanks to memaw...her name is Daisy. Before going to the park Saturday Tommy had to build it a new cage for it to stay in..he's so Mr. Handy (not) but its cage turned out ok. Here's a few pics from our weekend!

Time to get REmotivated

I have got to get remotivated....that is to lose weight. The last couple of weeks I have fallen off the bandwagon especially this past weekend. Trace had his first tournament in Nashville... lets just say the ballpark is ONE of my several downfalls. I LOVE LOVE LOVE nachos and I know I shouldn't eat them but I fall prey to them just about everytime LOL. I haven't exercised in about 2 weeks. I just run out of time it seems, I get to work and most of the time I stay busy or can't leave for lunch. I get off work go to baseball practice till 730-745 2 days a week and then the other 2 days we are at basketball for Thomas, by the time I get home and cook something quick the night is gone. Of course we spent all day Saturday and Sunday at the park..which means we ate lunch and dinner out this past weekend....in return I have put on about 7 lbs in just a matter of a few weeks. How in the hell is that possible???? I think its from where I watch what I eat for so long and then I have down falls and just pig out on everything so obviously that isn't working for me. I have got to get a plan together to be able to exercise and eat right. Hopefully with the pretty weather and with the time change I can get out in the evenings and do my runs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I get so mad at myself when I eat something I know I shouldn't be eating and then again I get upset because I constantly have to watch what I eat. Its all so frustrating.

I think I should change the name of my blog to my life one week at a time. This past weekend Tommy and I watched Fireproof all I can say is WOW. We really needed to watch that movie. Its so funny how God works. Friday Tommy called me about 1230 complaining about the laundry not being put away, blah blah blah...I was like ok so I work 40+ hrs a week too and I come home take care of dinner, kids, homework, baths and try and find time to sit and watch a little tv and I told him he would have a valid complaint if I was a stay at home mom who did nothing all day. Grant I don't work hard, my job isn't manual labor by no means. He works nights I get home around 630 by the time I get everything done its 900. So anyways, watching that movie that night couldn't of come any sooner. We realize how much we take for granted, and how we take eachother for granted. Now I will say when I got home from work Friday he had cleaned the whole house and cooked dinner. The clothes well they were still in the basket but thats ok. He normally does cook breakfast on Saturdays since he lets me sleep in on the weekends. Yesterday I got home to find a vase of flowers with a poem he had written me I will put it on here for the simple fact it was amazing. So he made my week yesterday making me feel once again I am his everything.

"Whats a Husband For"
A husband is a friend, picking you up when your feeling low
He puts a smile on your face, holds your heart and warms your soul
A husband is a provider fulfilling all of your dreams
Working to give you everything no matter how hard it seems
A husband is your lover, touching, kissing you making love to you so tender
Becoming one in the sweet surrender
A husband is your strength that feeds off the love, faith and trust of his wife
together making sacrifices through the entirity of their life
I am all of this but I'm nothing without you, your the reason, my strength
Because of your love and faith all of this I can do
As your husband I promise never to break your heart, my love I will always show
My wanting you, my passion you will always know
Always believe, trust in what I say
Know I will always care, and I will love you Forever and a Day.

All I can do is thank God for all he has blessed both Tommy and I with.

This weekend was absolutely WONDERFUL! I didn't get to make it to zumba I over slept, our power went off sometime in the middle of the night and believe me when I say I don't wake up without an alarm. Needless to say we woke up about 9:30.(sorry Andrea). But the weekend turned out great. Saturday Tommy and I went out to lunch without the kids for Valentines. We went to Longhorns sat there and just talked about us...normally our "monthly date nights" are about talking about the kids, work, baseball, bills just everything really. But that day we talked about "us" and the last 13 years. Trust me when I say it's not always been an easy 13 years, there were times he and I both felt like giving up but we never did. We both love eachother and are still in love. You can love someone but without being in love what good is that. I tried to get the movie fireproof everywhere I went they were sold out...I have got to see that movie. I've heard good things about it. Sunday we took Trace to baseball practice and came home and was lazy all day. Guess thats about it, we didn't do a lot but I guess those are the times that mean so much to me, Just enjoying eachother!!

Been a while!

This weekend was just WONDERFUL!!! I am loving this weather:) We had a really great weekend, Trace had baseball practice Saturday afternoon, so Meredith and I went to the park we had fun swinging, pushing the babies around in her stroller, building sandcastles! We went four wheeling on Saturday morning. Sunday we slept in and went to the park and played baseball with the kids, it was so fun and relaxing!! Work has been a little slow but I'm not complaining. I had to hire a new asst manager. He is VERY slow and does not catch on too quick OMG I'm like come on dude how hard is it to take a payment or answer the phone....but then again its a man what am I suppose to expect LOL(just kidding). I have to learn that everyone learns at their own pace.I was able to run this weekend and today I went out back and did my 30 min of running(jogging) instead of doing 20 min like the c25k I do 30. I've lost my 5-7 lbs I put on during Christmas but I can't seem to get below 140????????????????? I could starve and still weigh the same. It's so frustrating:( I'm not really worried about losing a whole lot of weight I just would like to tone up and get rid of my fat face..gosh I have chipmunk cheeks!! oh well I better get ready to close up for the day Hope everyone has a great week! Andrea we are on for Saturday?? We can do 1 hour and then leave we don't have to do the full 2 hours. Let me know!

Well it has been sooo cold here lately. I did manage to get out Saturday and Sunday and do my C25k run. But other than that I have been so lazy. I took Friday off and still didn't get home until 7. I am having to hire a new asst manager at work. My asst has been promoted to run our Lebanon office(I will miss you KeKe). Back to square one, having to find a good employee who wants to actually work!! I hate turnovers. I have some interviews set up so we'll see. I did however find out during all this process of losing my asst that the company I work for is hoping to open another office in the spring and one in the fall(depending on the economy) I have been asked to be the District Supervisor once the other offices are open. I'm so looking forward to that. I think it would be great. I'd have a lot more responsibility but I know I can do it. Thomas and Trace both made honor roll at school. Meredith is still Meredith LOL she came in to the living room last night with her hand over her eye, I said MerMer whats wrong with your eye, she said oh mom it hurts my eye hurts, well what happen to it Meredith oh mom Trace hit my eye..oh my gosh what in the world is she thinking?? Trace had been sitting with us in the living room the WHOLE time!! I don't know what we are going to do with her she is such a little liar!! She is def going through her terrible 2's. Guess that's it for now.

This past weekend

I didn't do a whole lot this past weekend. I had plans to go out with a couple of friends Friday to go see Bride Wars and Tommy had to go into work his asst called out on him and mom had plans so that fell through:( Saturday I had plans to go to Zumba with my girlfriend Andrea in Manchester and I ended up at MTMC at 1230am and didn't get home till about 4am. I'm not going to go into details here but Ethan and Brandi had some personal things happen and Brandi had to have emergency surgery. Surgery went well. So I sat home Saturday and watched the titans beat themselves!!! played some guitar hero 2. Sunday I got out and did this c25k training, it was good except for the cold air it made my chest hurt so bad I thought I was going to die LOL. Hopefully this is something I will keep doing and hopefully nothing will happen and I will be able to go to the next zumba class with Andrea. I really need to lose these last 10-15 lbs. (I put on 5lbs during the holidays) If I don't lose those lbs at least I'm getting healthier:)
