So I havent blogged in a while so here is a brief update:
Chris has been working a whole butt load of overtime. Praise becuase God always seems to bless us financially when something is coming up. Yikes because I dont know what that thing will be. 17 hours overtime this week= not getting to see much of the family. We combatted this today by taking all the girls to boatraces with us. Mom had come on board to watch them, but we just couldnt leave them after not being together this week much as a family. So we took everyone to boat races and had some time as a family there. I watched my husband do 17 pull ups to get a free army t shirt. It worked out nice b/c the one he had brought did not go with swimming shorts. The army t shirt did, and I got to watch my guy in action. Love that!
Dani has been asking questions about sex after catching a glimpse of salmon spawning on tv. Darn you animal planet! Chris is totally comfortable with this topic and works hard to keep this a discussable topic on the table. I admire that about him and appreciate him taking the explaining role in our relationship. Also I have decided that I am fine answering general questions that Dani has but not personal ones. You have to have boundaries.
Alli is amazing. We are really working on reading and she read a level two today. I was so proud of her. She is my favorite person to nap with mainly becuase she will actually fall asleep with me.
Leilani is in the horrible 3's. Her new forte is to flat out lie. She will often wake up from a nap and tell me," You said if I take a nap I could have two popsicles." I must have let this go once and now it is her manipulative way. Oh my! She will hit her sister and then say, "I didnt hit her." I do not like lying.
Me, I am still trying to lose weight. I am very please to announce I am at 10.2 pounds. I gained last week, .6 pounds and was devastated. I did absolutely everything I could last week. I worked out six days and one of those days was the bts marathon where I did three classes. I thought for sure this would push me past a monumental mark in the weight loss, but I gained. Very sad. Mom bought me a sassy purse to make me feel better and it did just that. Also I have been taking advantage of the free hot lunches that the kennewick school district puts on in the summer. The girls so love this and I do to. Less for me to do for lunch= happier me. So as a solution I am feeding my body more often. Anyone who knows anything about weight watchers knows about activity points. last week I had 55 and used one of them. So my aunt thought I might have been depriving my body. So I am eating a little more this week. I wonder if I wouldnt have lost anything yet if I would have used the activity points. something to think about.
So this blog was an ode to Gretta. I have a friend named Carla and she has been called Greta at work several times. I do not see the "Holland" that she is evidently channeling, but others apparently do. Maybe I will come across some literhosen (sp) and get them for her as a joke.
