32 days and counting

So yesterday was K's first day back to school. We've been hanging out just about every day since school ended so I'm feeling a little lonely. The kids keep me busy but I guess I feel like I have to have lots of people around me to feel content. I don't care if we're just sitting and watching TV but I love having family and friends around to hang out with.

D will be home in 32 days! I can't wait! It will be so nice to have him home and to have someone to talk to and hang out with every day. I miss him when he's gone but I love that when he comes home, we have a few months of just us, no work or anything to get in the way. It sounds crazy but I feel like it kinda makes up for not having him home the rest of the time.

10 down, 7.5 to go

For those of you who didnt know, I've been trying to lose some weight. I've already lost all of my "baby" weight (I did within about two weeks after DOS was born, Yay!) but now I just have "me" weight to lose. Over the years its just steadily increased and Im not happy about it at all. I have never been a skinny person nor do I want to be but I would love be a little thinner and have less fluff. I have realistic goals in mind and plan to do short term goals to help me achive 1 big long term goal. My short term goal was 17.5 lbs and I'm more than 1/2 way there. So far, I've lost a total of 10 lbs and I'm thrilled! I've been doing weight watchers and its been really easy. I need to add some exercise in there but finding the time is never easy especially in this heat. My family and I have already noticed a big difference. Please think happy thoughts for me to reach my goal and set a new one. Only 7.5 to go!

Its been a rough weekend...

Its been a real crazy around here the last few days. We're going through some family problems. I really hope everything works out for the best. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Ok, I changed the layout and now my list of other bloggers is gone. Is there a way to get it back without changing my layout? Help me please.

In search of my own best friend

When my real best friend isn't home which is quite often :( I really wish I had a best friend that I could hang out with. I feel a little left out when friends get together by themselves or as families and I just wish I had that. I wish I had someone that called ME when they want to hang out or just talk. I would love for our husbands and kids to get along so we could do family stuff with them. I have friends close and far from home but I still feel a little lonely and left out. I know this isn't something I can plan or make happen, it just needs to fall in my lap and just be natural but it sucks just waiting and hoping.

Anyone in need of a best friend??

Finally...

After trying to push it off as long as possible, I finally gave in and we bought a new car. I wanted to hold off as long as possible to save money, gas and just the fact that we only have a 2 car garage and now 3 cars but with a growing family we were in desperate need. I went with my mom on Sunday and found an amazing mini van. Its a 2007 Hyundai Entourage with only 177 miles on it! It was on clearance because of all the incoming 2009 cars so we got an amazing deal!!! It's fully loaded, tons of cup holders (HA! I thought of my friend Amy who talked about all the cupholders that she always dreamed of) and tons of nooks and crannies for me to organize. =) I'm really excited about having SO much more room and the ease of putting my gigantic double stroller in this HUGE trunk! I'll try to post some pics soon so everyone can see my beautiful new car.

New to this...

Welcome to my blog spot. I'm very new to this so bear with me as I figure it all out.
