Super Bowl Sunday

So I hear there's a football game on tonight......or for my family more like there's some new commercials on tonight :) we tend to wait 30 minutes or so after the game starts to watch, then we skip thru the game and watch the commercials!!

Last night we had a family dinner with my mom's side of the family. It took a tragedy to get this family back together again, RIP uncle Tom I miss you. This is right up your alley and I know that you'd be right in the middle of it all feeding us your amazing food and making us all laugh. Good food, good laughs and most of all good family!

Bring it on!

I'm ready for Christmas, and have been for a while! well a week or so anyway. I'm not sure I've ever been this ready this early. It'll be nice to enjoy the week the boys have off before Christmas. I think the time will be hard for them....Matty especially. Mitchell askes every day if they can open a gift.....I'm holding on strong! He says I let them open a gift on Christmas Eve last year.....not sure I remember that but we'll see how clean their rooms are :)

We're going to the boy scout summer camp staff Christmas party this afternoon.

I hope all is well with you and yours.

broken record

These days I feel like each day is a repeat of the one before it....but that's A-OK with me. I like it....I know what to expect :)

Today is no different.....so far today I've gone to the gym, did a little work, laundry, wrapped up more Christmas gifts, got the box ready to ship to B's family, did a month's worth of menus.....and made the shopping list to go with it :D GO ME!!

I'm going to stop at Hobby Lobby on my way to get the shopping done....I need.....yes NEED another storage container......it's an addiciton really...but it being addicted to storage containers really a bad thing??

hoping to end my outside adventures on time to pick the boys up from school (and Mitchell from the bus) and head to Steak n Shake for a yummy (and half off) peppermint chocolate chip shake....and yes I do know how cold it is outside.....they're that good!!

XL

That's right......XL, not XXXXL, not XXXL not even XXL just plain ol XL.

That's the size of the shirt I wore today....just one lonely X.

Never Forget

I miss my rings

It's been a few months now since I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings and I miss them. I wore them as long as I could, the day they flew off my finger while folding laundry was the day I put them up. Since I still have 45lbs to go until my goal I thought I'd hold off on having them sized but man this last leg is taking so long.....I'm thinking that maybe this winter if I haven't made some good progress toward my goal weight I'd go ahead and have them sized. I can always size them down again if needed. My mom gave me a pretty ring to wear in the meantime but it's not the same. My rings sitting in my jewlry box is my picture of the day today.

what a CrAzY busy summer....

this has been. It's been full of summer camps, weekend trips and work. We haven't been together as a family since mid June. Now just as school it getting ready to start back up things seem to be slowing down for us. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. Mitchell started going to the gym with me and seems to be toning up nicely, he has some pants that are literally falling off him! Matty's summer has been full of play dates! In fact he's gone right now. He's wanting to have a small get together with some friends before it's time to go back to school. We're trying to decide what we can do that'll be fun and not cost a lot.

I've been working hard all summer, well up until the last few weeks. I'm packing up DVD's for www.tracyandersonmethod.com and answering customer service emails for www.tracyandersonconnect.com and LOVING it :) I get to work from home and earn a little extra $$....that's always good :)

I've slipped a little on myPOTD project, so I'm kinda bummed about that but find it really hard to take a picture of something interesting each day. But since I bought the pages and album I'll keep plugging away as best I can. But I'm not going to stress about it.

Yesterday I went on a little road trip....Amanda and I went to Indianapolis to do the free make & take's at Archivers. We did some shopping then headed to lunch at Olive Garden, more shopping at a Super Joanns then hit Trader Joe's. I had never been to a Trader Joe's and ended up spending more $ there then at Archivers! I was suprised. I had been to a SJ's before but it was a very quick in and out so it was nice to wonder......OH and I found some art bin cases that I love in lime green!!! score me!!

Today I haven't done much but rest and enjoy the family.

This is what Sunday's are are all about
