Pictures!!

Finally getting to the pictures.  Don't forget to check out my last entry I put in today :)  It's about Cubby and Nick! 

Anyway, remember when I said I was going to share pics with you when we went on a sight seeing day last sat?!  Well, I finally got to downloading them so here they are! 

First off we have MAX who thinks he can drive!  He's so cute! 






Then we have Nick blowing his train whistle while we watch for animals.













The next pictures are from our "make out" spot lol!  Yes, we went to visit it but NO we did not make out!  lol 



The road leading out



This dock is the first place we ever kissed and he gave me his jacket that day. 











And before we went home we stopped at a park next to our old high school.



It was a very fun afternoon and we even went over to the place we were married and had our reception.  We have good memories in the county. 

 Stefan receiving his silver medal academic award! 





Pat, Nick and Alex at the awards ceremony sitting behind us.



Alex took a picture of Pat in our car while he trys to sleep. 

Catching up!

First!!! Shell I forgot to tell you this in emial!  Sunday, Nick went to Grandmas while we watched the game and he stayed there for a few hours after the game too.  I got a call from grandma telling me that Nick had an accident but he was ok.  I asked what sort of accident!  She says well he choked on a peppermint candy! She had to do the Heimlich on him!!!  OMGOSH!  I was freaked!  He was so scared!  SO no more peppermint candy's for him!  I never give him that sort of thing and I keep telling everyone that he should not have those but grandma would give him them anyhow lol!  NOW she won't anymore!  Now she won't even give him a sucker! lol  I think it scared her more then him! 

Ok so here is how yesterday went.  We had a VERY busy day with apts and that's why I wasn't able to get online. I was just so tired I didn't even turn it on!  Anyway, Nick and I woke up about 8ish...I got in the shower and got Nick cleaned up and dressed.  Called the vet for cubby Dried my hair and then My alarm reminder started ringing off on my cell phone!  APT here APT there. 

Vet told me to bring cubby in right away and they would TRY to fit him in.  I was a fill in apt so I would have to wait.  I took my MIL along to keep Nick occupied.  That was a huge help!  SO we waited, and waited, and finally they called Cubby.  Vet checked him over and said he's going to have to do Xrays to find out if something is cracked or broken.  So we left him there and I took my MIL back home and called my daughter to take over for her.  I picked  her and her new boyfriend up (he's very nice by the way)  and we went back to the vet to pick cubby up.  By this time it's getting close to 2pm and I have to be at hubbys work by 2:30 to get to our NEXT apt which is my son's IEP meeting.   He shows me his Xray and explains to me whats all wrong with him...OH BOY!  There was much more then we expected in a 6 yr old dog!  He found NOTHING wrong with his bones...none were broken or cracked in any way. He's thinking he got bruised or there was a sprain.  SO that was good news but then he said...well, we found some other problems with cubby....he has bladder stones (not bothering him now but will in the future) he has arthritis, he has hip diplasia in his right hip (he was favoring his left)  and he has a knee popping in and out of joint.  WHAT ELSE!??  The major thing to fix is his bladders stones...he has a big one in his bladder and a smaller one in the line leading down his penis.  POOR BABY!  SO NOW  I ask him...how much is this all going to cost us?!  He's says upward of a thousand...maybe more!  Now I'm scared because I know Cory is going to freak out over this.  Cubby is my baby and I wouldn't think twice about fixing him up...he's still so young.  But I'm not sure about hubby.  We really don't have the money right now to do it either!  He's on pain meds and some other meds to help him for now but sooner then later we will have to make a decision.  We can't let him live in such pain. After paying the bill (it was over 300 bucks) we left to pick up Cory.

Ok on to my next apt...Stefans' IEP, it was at 3.  Not all the people showed up that should have showed up, I hate that!   We got all good news from his teachers of course and he is doing just awesome.  That apt was over in an hour and off we went...dropped Cory back off at work and Stefan and I went home so I could get supper made before our next apt of the day.  Had dinner, I packed Cory's in a container so he could eat on the way to the school.   Our next apt...at 6:45 at Stefan's High school to the Academic awards ceremony.  He got his silver medal!  We were so proud of him!  That lasted about an hour and 1/2.  The children all receiving awards were the top 25 % of their class.  Stefan was in the top 5 %.  Now it's off for home for the last time today!  We watched a movie (The Condemned) and it was pretty good.  Lots of violence but good.  Then we went to bed!  It was a long day!! I did ok on diet tho except I ended up having two slices of toast with butter and a Pepsi.  Well, I'm going to go have breakfast before it's lunch time! lol 

More notes on another movie:

 We watched a movie called "The Ultimate Gift" and man if you get a chance to see that movie DO IT! IT was the best movie I have seen in a LONG time!  We watched it twice that night.  I promise you, you won't be sorry you rented it. I'm going to buy it. 

weigh in number two and more

First off I have to say YEAH for the packers!  They won all their games so far!  I am SOO happy and yelled a bit during this last game but hey...it was fun.  Stefan's Friend Lia was over and we all sat there and watched it together and had fun yelling together.  I almost had Stefan get me pepsi but told him to get me diet coke instead.  I had one 1/2 and NIck had 1/2 of one. 

On to the wiegh in. I was really depressed because I really expected more weigh loss and I only got .4  NOT even 1/2 lb!  AND I did SOO good too the whole week.  Kept it within points and everything. I quess I should be happy I got a loss...it's better then I had been doing. Although I have been adding flex points just to see if I would still continue losing and it did slow it down so I may keep right at points and see how that works for me. However yesterday was a bad day and I had way to much...won't even go into that here but we DID have fun.  We went on a road trip to check out the changing colors and man it was beautiful.  We took Max with us and he had a blast.  Were doing it again next weekend and taking both the dogs.  We wanted to see how max did before we took TWO  of them.  Nick had a great time too.  Stefan and Lia went Ginsing picking with grandpa and found some roots.   They are paying 500 bucks a pound for it!  Not sure how much theirs weighed but we will see. 

Sad news...my pom Cubby (he's so little compared to Max) has to go to the vet tomorrow.  BIG OL max trampled over him and hurt his hip somehow.  Now he can't walk on one of his back legs.  I have to carry him out to go potty and then he wants right back in the house to lay down. 

I'm back on track today with my diet again so I took one day off...and the bad part about yesterday is that I had a carmel Moolatte from DQ .  Hadn't had one is SO long so I was angry about my lack of more loss and had one.  We had such a goodtime tho and I did take some pics so I will post them tomorrow.  Right now were just trying to get some stuff done outside while the weather is so nice and then were going to go in and watch a movie.  For now I better get back to work so they don't think I deserted them! lol  Take care all!! 

Did anyone see Kid Nation?

If there is anyone out there who seen Kid Nation how did you like it?  It was better then I thought.  My hubby said he would not watch it but he watched the whole thing.  I will watch again next week. 

Diet has been awesome!  Another good night and another day closer to weigh in :)  I will be back in the morning for another update but for now I wish you all well and hope everyone is having a great week so far! 

My interveiw from Missy

Here is my interview from Missy over and Missy's upside down world. 

Okay, here's your questions!

1.  What type of student were you in high school?  For example, were you an "A" student, "B" student, or "C" student? This is a  good question...in school I was a poor student because I was allowed to skip school when ever I wanted and never went so my grades honestly were d's and F's!  BUT then I met my hubby and he made me go back to high school and It was the first time in my life to be on the honor roll!  I was proud :)

2.  If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I will ALWAYS live right here in WI...love it and always will love it. Have no interest in living elsewhere but love visiting other states.

3.  What is one thing you'd like your children to remember about you when your gone? My ability to get along with ANYONE...my daughter has a problem with this and I want her to learn to find people GOOD qualities...everyone has them! 

4.  What is one thing about each of your children you wish you could change if anything?  WOW, well they are who they are but if I were going to change anything for my daughter it would have to be that she had never met that "bad" crowd she was hanging out with.  My oldest son...to be able to hear music if even just once!  My 2 yr old...i can't think of anything yet! lol 

5.  Do you have a best friend, and if so, why do you consider that person a best friend.  I have a real life best friend (actually two...Kallie and Nana) and my online best friend (Shelley) My real life BF (Kallie, I have knows since we were little kids! I also dated her brother) are great wonderful caring people and they are great role models for their children.  Hard workers...and to tell you the truth they kind of even look alike! lol Heather, am I right?  My online best friend has been my TRUE life saver when it comes to my diet.  She emails me ALL day long even tho she works full time and has a family.  We met years back on an online diet group and have been email buddy's ever since...I have had several but SHE had always stuck with me even thro bad diet times! I am going to meet her real soon too! 

 

I hope I sent you some tough questions!

Missie

 

Yes, missy they were tough questions but fun...thanks for interviewing me :)

Counting down

to my 21st day lol. I'm curious as to weather or not it's true what they say...that after that many days it becomes a habit.  Maybe I won't even be able to tell. 

Have to sneak an update in here...I almost forgot!  My son is on a roll for school again...getting a 4.0 or very close!  I'm so proud of him.  We just got grade reports in email today :)

Haha, thanks Dondie for calling me a future hot mama! lol That was funny.  Reminds me of back a few months ago when I went to pick my son up...he said to me "Mom, when you get thin I bet my friends will think your hot"  lol  What a wonderful son I have!   He said that day I looked pretty.  WHAT?!  Why only THAT day? lol  Maybe I done somethin right that day!  ;)  

For a refresh on pics of family and me (if you want to see the future "hot mama" haha) click on the links below...the first link is my family:

My Family

And the next is

ME at current weight of 280ish and i'm 5'3

And then we have me when I was about

220 or so

Ok so on to the Biggest loser...I was SO mad last night because it was storming here and our satalite went out!!! (can't get cable here in the boon docks or believe me I would have it!) There was 10 min left of the show! I never got to see who got cut!  I know someone off the red team and I'm hoping it was the one who blew off last chance work out. Can't remember her name.  I have to go check internet again to see if they are finally adding the info from last nights show now that the world has seen it. If anyone out there can tell me who got the cut it would make my day :) 
I also got more sleep last night...I went to bed late because i was watching "The truth about food" GREAT SHOW...it's with Dr. Oz and it's so informative! Has anyone see it?!  He talks about it on Oprah a few days ago and of course I missed THAT Oprah!  He does lots of experiments with actual people and gives you REAL medical reasons why you should believe the results. The show is usually on Discovery Health and lately they have had A LOT of shows on but they are usually not the same ones.  I have not seen a rerun yet over 2 whole days now. 

Ok I think I'm done for this morning...Oh and eating went Great last night...ate my points and that was it :) 

WOW it's hot in here

It's close to 80 in my house upstairs today mainly because I"m making ho-made beef barley soup for dinner.  It's boiling away and it's very humid and HOT. 

I had to come on this afternoon because I may not get on again tonight later.  The Biggest Loser is on tonight and it's another 2 hour special so I will be keeping my eyes on that tonight.  I believe tonight they will get the black team back in the game with the other teams.  I can't wait for that one, to see how they will work that.  I am taping all the shows so I have to go down to make sure that my tape is set up and I don't miss it. 

I had another fabulous day again today and I just wish Saturday would get here already so I can weigh in lol.  Before I ruin it!  It does seem to be getting a touch easier but not much!  It is extremely hard at night...I can't even tell you how hard it has been for me.  Especially when hubby has his nutter bar or some other goody I don't want that late at night.  Although the past few night he has been doing better and choosing healthier choices at night like pickles...I HATE pickles so that doesn't bother me at all!  I am so close to making it two weeks in a row and I refuse to ruin that! 

Exercise has been hardly none right now because of my knee...I DO plan on adding it as the weight starts coming off.  I would like to lose 20 to 30 lbs before I start a rigorous exercise routine.  I may start off as Heather did from corset updates and do one min, two min, three min etc....until I'm up to the hour I had in the past.  That was a smart idea and really got your body set up for what was coming next.  So as I go along in this really hard really long journey I'm going to keep my head up!  I'm not going to give up this time!  I have just shy of 2 years before my son's graduation and I would like to be thin for it!  He would be SO proud of me and it would be a wonderful gift to him!  He has wanted me to lose weight for so long now because he wants me to be alive for a long time.  He's worried about me :)  I do understand and that's why I never give up!  I love my kids so much and this will be wonderful for everyone involved. Right now I could not be happier about how I have been doing :) 

WHAT THE???

GOOD MORNING!

Oh MY what is wrong with me!?  I am UP and NICK is NOT up.  I'm tired but since my son woke me up before school and asked me if he should feed the dog I cannot go back to sleep!  He KNOWS he has to feed the dog every morning! lol  We just had this discussion yesterday and I even have all the food in packages so he knows how much!  The vet has him on three meals a day PLUS a bonus of soft food added to his mid meal so he can gain some fat on his bones...REMEMBER, we were starving the poor dog because I did not read the package right!  BAD MOMMY!  The dog has gained a lot of weight (he was gaining like crazy before even!) and has WAY more energy now. lol  He has been in heaven with all this food lately. 

About MY diet...I did great last night and about to have a breakfast of cheerios with skim milk.  I had to run into town last night because I forgot my cheerios and back in the PRE diet days I would have stopped at BK for a number 6 meal!  I passed that right up and went on my Merry way!  I don't know where I found my willpower but I'm not complaining.  It took a while to be able to finally do some good when it comes to my diet.  Well, I'm off for now but will be back later to update.

WOOHOO

I'm thrilled as you can see, because my diet has went great today again!  I don't have a clue as to why I am up this late but I'm heading to bed now.  I have stuck to my WW points for a week and 1/2 now...well  10 days!  I have 12 more to go to make this a habit. I hope it works.  For those of you out there who have done this before and made it to your 21st day, DOES it get any easier on the 21st day??  I always found that hard to believe but hey...I'm willing to try it out!  Right now I have to say that it's been a LONG time since I even made it this far so I'm good!  I'll take it!  By the way...Nick is sleeping for now and he has not woke up yet.  Last night he was already throwing up at this time so I have my fingers crossed!  He went to bed at 9 tonight.

Night all!  I have to say that YES I am again looking forward to weight in! 

OHH LAST NIGHT

Last night sucked!  Nick was up till 3:30 am and of course wanted me to be right there next to him because he was so sick.  Poor little guy!  I got him in the bathroom to losen up some of that phlegm and he threw up a bunch! SORRY, that was gross!  After that he felt a little better but his throat hurts him badly.  I was thinking...ok he went to bed at 3:30 so he should sleep till NOON.  UMM nope!  He was up between 8:30 and 9 this morning. I am a walking zombie!  And here he is just fine as can be with the exception of the cough he still has.  I'm sure tonight will be another repeat!  I am really craving an ice cream (frozen yogurt) from Briqs right now lol They have the best frozen yogurt in the world.

 Diet went great last night and even tho I was up SO late I didn't have anything to eat.  Was to busy with Nick to think about it lol.  We may just take a ride...just to get out of the house and I may have a small ice cream. I have the points to use on it.  Other than that..my house still a mess and were all just feeling like crap this whole week.  Maybe after a little energy boost from the ice cream I will feel like cleaning?!  haha

The weekend is FINALLY over!

Today/the weekend has went really really good!  I did great and have not fallen off into binge land as of yet!  It's been 8 days now and I'm still hanging in there :)  I hope to look forward to another weigh in next week Sat. 



The pack WON!  Yeah!  Sorry to any New York fans out there!  We had a very boring weekend..the house is a mess and I really don't feel like cleaning it tomorrow but I suppose if we want to be able to walk thro it I better.



We have all been suffering from a terrible cold! Runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, coughing!  I wanted to go visit my sister and  niece who came up to watch my nephews house and son but I didn't want to get her little baby sick so I stayed away :(  I sure hope this cold leaves us VERY soon!  We have had it yesterday and today.  I'm sure it will hang on a while longer tho.  Poor Nick can't sleep thro the night because he's always coughing...I give him meds and rub vicks on him but that doesn't seem to work all night. And so I am not getting enough sleep because I'm up with him.  Sucks!  Hubby has allergies on top of that so he's been real miserable.  And he has to go to work tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I'm going to have a nice big cup of OJ and a healthy breakfast to start fighting this off.  I sure hope Nick sleeps  all night tonight. 

No other news right now but just SO happy for the pack this terrific Sunday! 

FOOTBALL TODAY

Yup the packers play today :)They won their last game :)  I love them...I always will!  Even if they play badly I still love them.  lol  Anyone else out there a packer fan? 

I have kept my eating under control and did great!  And we have BLT's planned for the game this afternoon.  I can have two for 12 points.  It's worth it to me.

We went shopping last night and got a van full of grocery's the only bad thing was that my son stayed over night at a friends house and we had to carry all that up stairs ourselves!  NOT FUN! lol  It did give us exercise. We decided against ALL snack foods (hubby agreed with me) and now I won't feel tempted to eat them :)  Although we had snack food in the house last week and I did  fine.  Usually it's the snack foods I don't like much like peppery flavored chips. 

They say it takes 21 days or something like that to form a habit so I hope to make it to my 22nd day on this new eating plan and hope it sticks with me.  I have never made it that far in many years! I will be one proud girl!  Well it's off to make breakfast and all that good stuff before the game starts.  Hope you all are having a good one! 

Weigh in

This morning was a good morning.  I weighed in 5.8 lbs lighter on the scale which brings me down to 279.6 now.  So even with  the 1/2 gains the last 4 weeks I am still at a 5 lb loss since starting weight watchers.  So It is just like a new start for me and I'm going to keep moving.  The differences were journaling and limiting soda.  I also added some more water but still could drink more of that too.  I finally just realized that I DO need to start writing every thing I eat down or I'm not going to succeed!  Simple as that.  I FELT as if I was doing OK the past 8 weeks but I really haven't been at all. When I  sat down and journaled one of my "bad" days where I thought I was doing good...it was amazing at how many points I consumed...it was something like 65-70 points and I should only be eating 33!  Thats where the extra pounds were coming from.  I was not adding the hidden butter in the mashed potatoes, or the whole milk added to our dinners.  All that really adds up.  NOW I add EVERYTHING before we even make the meal and having to add all that I tend to add less of it to try to bring the points down and it still tastes just as good.  I made home made potato soup the other day and left out the cheese and it was awesome!  Tasted wonderful and flavorful! 

I got in two days of walking this week and my goal for this next week is to get in three.  I have to be careful with my knee and be sure if it does start to hurt to take a day off. I'm hoping that in 30 lbs it will begin to feel better again.  Right now it's not really  hurting but I do still feel the strain going up stairs.

Well, were going shopping today so I should be able to add some steps to my pedometer...still have not made it up to 10,000 steps which is one of my goals.  Hope to do it after I get some of this weigh off. 

Other then that...we will prob just stay home try to get some of our windows cleaned today or for sure tomorrow when it's going to get back up to 70.  This morning it was 25 degrees here but our house upstairs only got down to  66 degrees!  This house is very well insulated.  We never did turn on our heat. It's now 69 and 50 outdoors so it's plenty warm in here now.  I will talk to you all later but just wanted to share because I was so excited about it!~  Hope you all are having a good day today.

Another nite under my belt

Well, last night was another close to perfect day...and when I say CLOSE to perfect I mean within 2-4 points.  I think I was getting my feet wet the first 10 weeks I was at WW and only losing 5 lbs! lol  I am in the swing of things again and weigh in is tomorrow!  I am SO very excited about it because this time I KNOW I lost something!  I can feel it!  My new pizza has become the BLT  Love um...especially with the farmers market tomatoes! I used to have pizza a lot for lunch and I wonder why I wasn't losing!  Although I would only have like 2 pieces.  But now with the BLT's at least I'm getting  a fruit/veggie in too.



 Which leads to a question...I know tomatoes are actually considered a fruit but I still call them a veggie...what about you?

I know it's very important to eat ALL my points in order to make sure my body is getting what it needs but I figure if I can still loss and use those extra 35 flex points I'm going to do that!  That way I can have something to delete later when I hit a plateau.  That should give me some leverage!  So I have been using some of my flex points but I have been keeping track of EVERYTHING!  I mean every bite.  And I try to figure out how many points that bite is.  Usually I don't do bites because it's to hard to figure out the points! lol  This week I have used about 1/2 of my 35 Flex points so far.  Won't use much more since weigh in is tomorrow.  I have some pictures to share with you now that I can! 



Nick and I went to my sisters for Labor day weekend to visit with every one and we had a great time.  All the little cousins were there and we got a picture of that...although I don't have one of those yet!  I have to get on emailed to me so I can share that with you.  But I have others. 

Here is a sunrise out by our house:

It's working AGAIN.

Lets see if it stays working!  I thought I better get a quick entry in here before it stops again.  They supposedly fixed the satalite on the water tower here in town so were able to get it here without interference out in the boon docks.  I just hope it stays working. I swear we had perfect working internet only a few weeks out of this year so far! 
Anyway, this week (starting Saturday) I have been doing perfect on my diet.  I have been journaling and writing down everything I ate all week.  It's been a great week and I can say I already feel better. I have been getting sick of the gaining at WW for 4  weeks straight now.  I honestly didn't think I was really doing all that bad when I wasn't journaling but it turned out I was.  When I started journaling it really showed how much more I was eating then I should have been.  Well I hope I'm back to stay now so I can keep updating everyday. I'm so happy Linda is back and I know I will be inspired by her :)  I will update about my week (I wrote everything down) later tonight after the baby goes to bed so I can think without someone saying...MOM I'm hungry, Mom I'm thirsty, Mom come play in my room...lol Never ending!  Gotta love um! 

I'm not at home!

I'm sitting at my  nieces house so I could put in an entry!  I hate, hate, hate our internet service!  lol  It just simply sucks!  Anyhow, the last few days have been really great.  I will start out by editing my weight watchers weigh in.  It was horrible, I gained ANOTHER 1/2 lb and that was it. I was going to do better if it killed me and I did and it didn't kill me :)  I have had two perfect days and today is going just as perfect so far.  Have walked once so far and would have today but it's raining outside. My MIL is walking with me so it goes by quickly when we do walk.  My points value is marked at 31 and I have been sticking right to it to a T and I have been journaling again as well.  That really does help because it keeps me inline and I don't want to go that much over points so I really watch what I'm eating when I'm journaling.  I'm actually looking forward to weigh in for the first time since I started.  Especially since my night time eating has been under control now :) All I can say is thank goodness for kettle corn 100 calorie popcorn lol  I love the stuff.

Other then weight loss...this last Saturday some friends of our came up and they were going to stay at our house but then decided on staying at the hotel.  Cory took Nick and Stefan swimming at the pool there and I stayed home and actually enjoyed my time alone for once.  I sat and watched a whole lifetime movie lol.
Well I'm going to go quick and read a few journals before I have to head back home and put Nick for a nap.  I sure hope my internet gets fixed very soon.  I should be able to put in another entry tomorrow because I have to go to the farmers market to get some more tomatoes and cucumbers so I will stop by here to let you know how I'm doing.  I have been considering starting another journal just for my weight loss and keeping it public and just keep my "life" one private so I can add pics here.  If I do it will be soon.  Can anyone tell me HOW to add one with the same id name I have here?  Thanks for all the comments to let me know you all made it!  Talk to ya soon.

Comp problems again

I'm having computer problems again and my friend Shelley is posting this for me.  I've had two perfect days on my diet and have stayed within my points for both days.

It's Private please reset sorry!!

Please leave a comment if you are able to get in so I know I did it right :)  I will be putting in my first private journal entry later today.  This is kind of fun...I feel so secretive now! lol 

I think it's fixed.

I'm pretty sure that internet is fixed here finally so I can go private for once.  I didn't want to get in the middle of it and not be able to add people.  Please if anyone that requested cannot get in email me!  I do have an aol mail account set up now.



I guess Heather's computer has really bit the dust huh!  I miss her entries in the morning. 




Did anyone watch "The biggest loser?"  I bet most watched "Big Brother" instead!  lol  I just have not been able to get into big brother since the start of the show so many years ago.  Maybe I'm just getting to old lol  I don't know.  Plus, my hubby hates shows like that so it's so hard for me to get into a show when I can never watch it without complaints.  Anyway, they had the new Allison Sweeney (Sammy from "Days of our lives") on there for a host and she did such a great job. I like her over the other one.  It was a reunion show and the ones that were on the show kept most of the weigh off...but there were not that many really.  I really wanted to see Matt and Suzy on there with their baby.  I know they both put back on some weight so that's prob why they didn't want to be.  Marty proposed to Amy on the show...it was really cute.  Check it out here.  They have the video of it posted. I really enjoyed the show and have all of the shows taped so far thanks to my friend Mary :)  Not even sure if she reads or not but Mary, if you do thank you! 



My son and I stayed up too late last night organizing his binders.  I copied all the things I needed to copy and ended up going to bed at 1am.  So far Stefan has 100 percent in all his classes...granted school just started a few days ago but hey he's doing good! My daughter is also going to school, I'm so proud of her!  She's going to get that diploma!  The good thing is they are still going to send us grade reports on her even tho she is 18.  She's normally a strait A student.



  Stefan of course is trying for the gold medal this year.  He got the silver last year for his 3.86 GPA (which he gets this sept 24th) but he needed a 4.0 for the gold.  SO CLOSE!  He's doing the extra credit this year lol. I just love seeing him so excited about school and friends even tho he's deaf.


 Today he's going to stay after and do weight lifting to get ready for the wrestling season this year.  It's better then having to stay with his dad at work until he comes home for the night.  That's over 2 hours of just sitting there waiting for his dad to get done with work.  I would rather weight lift too!  He always wants me to come pick him up but with gas like it is I just can't see making the hour round trip to go get him every day.  It's $3.15 here for gas now! PLUS he's got a truck so it's over $70 bucks to just fill it up! 



Here is some sad news for you!  I misread my dog's dog food bag and was starving the poor thing! I called my vet and asked him why my poor puppy would be so skinny!  We could see his ribs!  My vet talked me through the directions and I was feeding him three servings a day but only 1/2 of what he should have been getting!  Now that he's all fixed and fed properly he's a happy camper!  I think he thought it was a special day the first day he got all his food!  He kept looking at me and gobbling his food just in case I was going to take it away.   Poor baby!  I feel so bad! 



Ok on brighter news...at least I hope it's brighter!  Weigh in is just a few days away again and I have been doing ok but need to do really good the next few days so I can stay under what I was before!  Wish me luck.  It's on Sat morning.  Ok gotta get moving before Nick wakes up and wants breakfast :)
