"it's on"
Back to being serious about losing weight again. I am up 8 pounds from my lowest weight in years. Still maintained a 22 lb. loss, but need to get that 8 off and keep going. Exercise is a necessity for me. Kam, are you ready?

"there once was a time........"
...when I was really this organized. ALL THE TIME. I miss that. This is my bedroom when I redecorated it about 5 years ago. Who has a chandelier in there room? LOVE IT. So serene and pretty. Right now I need to reorganize my closet and get rid of some stuff. I have been working so much (salon and Costco flowers) I don't have time to keep up with life.
I want to simplify my life.
Work less.
Spend more time with my kids.
Spend more time with my friends and family.
Exercise.
Get more sleep and take better care of ME.

"you've got to be kidding me"
Ok, before I go on about my ridiculous day, I tried to find a picture that made me laugh. I wasn't hard. This is my son (9) taken just a few weeks ago. It was late on a weekend and Nicole and her friends and I were being silly, and poor Tyler went along for the ride. French braids, Dorthy halloween costume, and a picture as proof. Poor kid. We probably ruined him for life.
This morning started off on the wrong foot.
Hot water heater went out. Not good considering our household has NO EXTRA time to spare in the morning for anything to go wrong. CHAOS could have ensued, but..............
I stayed very calm and decided to call grandma (only lives a few miles away) and packed up the kids and their stuff and we headed over there to take showers. Poor LeRoy braved the FREEZING water and took one at home because he had to get to our 2nd job doing the flowers at Costco (a post to come later). I was supposed to go with him and help before going to my REAL job, but I had to get the kids ready for school and get ready for my 9:00 am appt.
Then Tyler forgot his library book. Handled it. Got kids to school on time and I got to work on time fairly presentable.
Worked a very long day. Came home, cooked dinner, dishes, got girls off to basketball practice by 7:00 pm and put some dinner in the fridge for LeRoy when he got home. He worked from 7 am to 7 pm at Costco today. Both very tired. Was cleaning off papers from counter while cleaning up the kitchen and found Tyler's list of kids in his class for his Valentines party TOMORROW!
Shitballs.
He needed a valentine box decorated and valentines to fill out. We ran to Walgreens (by now it's 8:30 pm). I went in my sweats and slippers. Whatever. There were about 3 choices. Hello Kitty, High School Musical and Harry Potter. Thank goodness he was ok with Harry Potter. Right now he is filling them out and I need to go pick up Nicole from practice. Oh, and that biotch aunt Flo is in town.
Calgon, take me away............................................

"seaside"
We went to Seaside, OR for a basketball tournament for Nicole's team. It was a fun weekend. (I will leave the annoying parts out, since that is negative, and I don't want to be negative, really I do, but I will be nice.)
Ok, a few annoying things.
Uber-moms, other peoples kids (not all), domestic violence in the room next to ours, giant-money-sucking-loud-obnoxious-arcade, fast food, too many carbs, non-smoking room that smelled like stale smoke, continental breakfast that was gone by 8:30 (well, not if you count the shriveled up orange), bleacher butt.
Ok, it was not all a bust. Now the good stuff.
Weather was BEAUTIFUL on Saturday. It was windy and a little cold, but the sun was shining. Went down on the boardwalk and walked around. Kids played on the beach. Took my girls (Nicole, Jazz, Kookie) to lunch. Girls won 2 games, lost 2 games. Had a few margaritas. Loved the cute, quaint town of Seaside.
So typical of my kids. Being silly. But I love it.
Tyler and I rode the carousel in the mall. His was an angry ostrich. He looks a little scary himself. I rode a nice white pony.
Me and my friend Cherie. We didn't shop together, but ended up with the same sweatshirts, just in a different color!
Emily, Cassandra, Nicole and Jasmine at the beach.
Tyler couldn't wait to take off his shoes and play in the sand. And get dirty. He looks so young and little to me in this pic. Like the olden days.
Here is most of the team. We lost a few in this pic. It was freezing on Sunday and of course my daughter was the only one not wearing a sweatshirt.
We took this same picture of them two years ago in the 6th grade. My how they have grown. Of course Nicole doesn't have her sweatshirt on. She is #14. Her last name is "Mary". tee hee.
