No Smoking: DAY 3

I figured I'd go ahead and post this while I can hold my eyes open.

Today was yet another sucessful smoke free day. Plenty of eating, too.

I have to say that I am counting calories, but that is to see how much I can eat in 24 hours!

Come on payday!

No Smoking: DAY 2

Another day, no cigarette! But, have I been eating plenty...hehehe!

I had a jelly filled honeybun for breakfast, a Hormel's Meatloaf meal and Chocolate Creme Dessert at lunchtime, when I got home, I made Roast Beef Hash and Scrambled Eggs, and now I'm eating a tuna sandwich (because I'm not full yet). I'll go finish off the rest of the tuna, and get something to drink and go to bed :)

No Smoking, DAY 1

I decided this morning, since I had my last cigarette last night, to not buy another pack and quit. Well, I bought a pack on the way home from work (no cigarettes all day :) ), but they were for my hubby.

So far, so good. I have to find other things to occupy me (more eating!), so I know our grocery bill will grow, but I am tired of being sick and haveing to wear layers of clothes to work because I go outside to smoke. NO MORE!

So, to help me keep track and to pin point weak spots, I have decided to journal everything. So, here's to healthy lungs and a bigger me!

Happy New Year!! 2008

We begin another year, and just like the last, make resolutions.

I have decided to make a list of changes I want to make in the new year--not necessarily resolutions.

I plan to eat healthier, spend more time with my children, simplify my life, I'm not going to busy myself and do too much, and I plan on taking my business to another level.

I plan on changing my routines to be more efficient.

I will keep you updated.

Counting Down to Christmas

Ahhh...less than 24 hours until the store closes. Wal-Mart, that is- for Christmas. The one and only day of the year that the store ever closes, at 6:00pm tomorrow evening. I will ride by on the way to my mother in laws house and get a picture to show you the parking lot the way you only see it ONCE A YEAR.

It has been-in one word? B-U-S-Y. Period. I look for tomorrow to be total chaos. Saturday, I believe was the worst. I got there at 7:00am and was on register by 7:09am...yes, I am quick. Gotta be. And didn't get off register to stay until after my last break at 2:30pm.

Anyways, I wanted to go ahead and post tonight because I am shutting the computer down and will not be online after tomorrow (maybe not even then). I have to "tie up some loose ends" and then I am off the computer.

So I am signing off, Happy Holidays!

Night, Night

9:13...I am finally getting to sit down and write this blog entry. I put the kids down earlier, about a half hour ago and Little Man keeps coming down the steps, one excuse after another to stay out of bed.

This is the only time I can do this, so that is why the entries aren't very long. Not much to say about today. But...I'm OFF TOMORROW!!

God, to have a Saturday off, no I was originally planning on making a business trip to Winchester, but am thinking about getting caought up on the housecleaning I did not get to do yesterday because we had company. Catch up on cleaning, prepping the meat to freeze, putting away laundry...ok, I might go to the store and get some ice melt and prepare for the snow coming tomorrow evening, let it snow!!

I will be sure to post pictures.

Glad I Followed my Gut

I was at work this morning when my mom called: the school sent Hannah home from school because she was running a temperature and was feeling sick to her stomach. So, she brought Hannah home and got her to lay down.

She then proceeded to tell me that somehow Shawn became upset because she was feeding Shawn e hot french toast sticks and he didn't think they'd cooled down and she went ahead and fed them to him...

Then, as I am on the phone with her, SHAWN calls, hang up with her and talk to Shawn...told me school sent Hannah home sick and he was calling the doctor to find out what they said, was asking Hannah about how she was feeling...Mom told him her version, Hannah told him how she was feeling, she was feeling sick to her stomach, she didnt get sick and she had a low-grade fever.

So, I came home around 10 and got the kids a bite to eat, Shawn called dr and we noticed the lump on the side of her neck in her limph node and called the doctor back and got an appointment for afternoon.

Sure enough, she has strep throat, so no school for her tomorrow.
