Put your dust masks on!!

PFHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...did that help? omg where has the time gone? I check other people's blogs and then never keep mine going. I guess it has to do with the fact that I know I only have 3 readers and they will quickly find new a new blog to pa ruse after seeing my last post was 2 months ago. So Lee-Ann, Elle and Mrs. Smitty..I will try and win your interest back!!! lol

Lots of things going on here. Kids have finally settled in their beds at night and are staying in ALL night. Maybe getting up a tad EARLY for my liking...5:30am really isn't the time I want to go push the auto-programer off on my coffee pot to get it going THEN but whatever...at least it's not 2:30am. We got our Princess Carys a new PRINCESS bed..omg she is in heaven..loves the Princesses and gets to gaze at them every night before she drifts off to neverneverland. Her world is perfect. Wish that's all it took! I would plaster Ariel and Cindy all over my room if that were the magic solution! So both kids have new beds and seem to be more settled. Hopefully this is the start of something wonderful and permanent!

My MIL was diagnosed with colon cancer and was scheduled for surgery very quickly. The specialist turned to her and said "I am very worried about you". Would that not freak the bejesus out of you? Well she has had the surgery and got her biopsies back and she is free and clear of all cancer anywhere in her body!! WOW!! That is amazing that they found it and cleared her of it soo quickly! So she doesn't need to have Chemo and is just on the mend from the surgery.

DH got a new added position of treasurer in his job. This means he gets an extra $2000.00 a year and gets to go on two retreats for conferences WITH his family for free. FREE!!! One is at a very swanky resort up island here which is in the Spring. I am soo looking forward to that getaway!!

I am just plugging away at work here trying to sock away money for Christmas and buying presents as I go so it's not such a hit in the New Year. I am TRYING to do it differently this year. Trying to be more organized and not procrastinate until Dec 24th. I do have a secret love affair with shopping on the 24th cause I can suck up some of the Christmas spirit from all the people out there buying presents and all the feelings of joy and excitement. I do NOT like line-ups but I do love the feel and the rush of that time of year. Yes I am in need of a psych eval. So I am trying to plan out what people would like for a gift instead of haphazardly grabbing something in a gleeful PANICK. This is the PLAN anyways..

I also started Weight Watchers online again. It has only been 2 days so there hasn't been any new clothes shopping yet! Give me time and I NEED to make this stick!! The plan is to lose around 15lbs for Christmas..you know the time when parties and invites come in and you're trying to stuff your size 14 ass into size 10 black pants and find some kind of top that doesn't cling anywhere that reveals your 6 pack turned into a keg over the last year. So the loss since Friday's weigh in is......drum roll.......3.5 lbs. Wow...I know it's water weight but nothing like a little loss to spur you on after 2 days!! lol.

So I will try and keep this blog up....I do love this time of year and the months before Christmas so I should have plenty to write about and share. I hope you are all well and look forward to winning your time back again.
