Well I was going to blog

I was going to catch up on my blogging tonight with pictures and all,but my computer decided that I was mistaken. So I will try later this week. Oh well.

What to do?

I had my Saturday all planned out, until my friend Kim called Friday and said, "Are you ready to garden?" A couple of months back she mentioned that she knew someone with manure that we could get for free and she and her husband have a trailer. If I wanted when they got fertilizer for their garden I could get some for mine. This was the first nice weekend in a while. I had been planning on going to a Women's Conference, so if anyone reading this went please tell me something you learned or inspired you. I weighed out the two things and the manure won. It's free, they had a trailer (how else would I get the poop over here) and they would help me and I could help them. Not only that, but I would get my garden in the next phase to grow food for my family. It was tough choice, but it turned out great.

I can't believe I guessed right!

On Friday night we went to a "Family fun Math Night" at Josh's school. They served pizza first and then you could go into different classrooms and do fun activities. We entered the guess the candy contest. I guessed 713 pieces, Josh said 25 so I wrote 425, and Holly said 3 so I wrote 303. Well we had to leave before they announced the winner (I had a meeting to go to). As I was running around the house doing baths and making and eating dinner (no I didn't eat the pizza) I heard Don talking to some women. I went to see who and it turn out to be Josh's teacher Mrs. Wolburg. I had guessed exactly right on the candy and won. Our house is on her way home so she volunteered to bring it to us.

So what does someone who is on Weight Watchers do with 713 pieces of candy, you may ask. Well, the kids have 3 birthday parties to attend in two weeks. Three good portions were divided among those kids. My kids have had a bit, but then the house goodie monster has eaten all the chocolate so all that is left is jelly beans. My new guess would be 68 pieces of candy left!

I LOVE ORGANIZATION, yes I am a little crazed!

There is something very satisfiying about having my shelves organized. The first picture is our cereal and bread section. With the shelf in there it is not just a pile of stuff that I am trying to find the bagel in, in the morning. The second picture is behind the cereal. The last picture is my kid snack and pasta shelf. Before I got the shelf I had to move everything around to get certain noodles, now it's just there. Oh, how I wish my labeler wasn't out of labels. Soon all these containers will be labeled too, so if some random person breaks in my house because they need penne pasta they will be able to find easily and get the heck out of my house. I LOVE ORGANIZATION!

Holly is into everything!

Sunday Holly picked up daddy's razor and cut her finger (Don't worry they're still attached). Then the other day Holly picked up mommy's eye drops and decided to write on the tv with them. UgHHH!! Later that day she picks up a push pin and goes to put it in her mouth! I mean doesn't everyone put those in their mouths to eat. Now this behavior is more the thing I worry about with a 18 month to about 2 1/2 year old not a 3 1/2 year old. She is a smart girl and knows better.

I made that

Last night I went to a baby shower and I made a cake out of baby diapers. I totally stole the idea off line, and just dolled it up a bit. The online one was a white three tier cake. I wanted mine to be colorful and look like one of those fun cakes from Ace of Cakes. I covered my rolled up diapers with tissue and then used scrapbook supplies for around the cakes for the top and bottom tier. The middle tier has a hair band for the baby and the thing on the very top tier is a rattle/teether. I don't think the picture does it justice. I got it to be all leaning to one side and then the other, by covering one rolled up diaper with the tissue from the cake it sits on. It was a big hit and that made it fun, since the only other gift I gave was the wipes to go with it.

Maybe I should try to make real cakes like this. Hmmmm....

GOOOAALLL!!!

Today I weight in and made my goal! Yeah Yeah Yeah. I have lost 41 pounds! I can't believe it. In 5 months I have lost 41 pounds. If you figure that out it averages 2 pounds a week. Anyone can do 2 pounds a week, well if I can, anyone can. I am not sure what my new goal is, but I am loving this. Thank you to all who have and are supporting me.
