Wii active

In this movement to lose weight besides joining WW to control my eating I also went out and bought WII active. Sure I had Wii fit, and no, I never turned it on after the first week, but this one is different. First off, Shelly told me that she was going to go and buy it so I thought heck if she is, I am. Cause I am all competitive like that... Steve and I finally turned it on one night and worked out with each other. Then finally on Sunday night(probably a week after I bought it) we fired it up and started the 30 day training. It has been great! It is getting us up off the couch and doing something in the evenings! If you have Wii then go out and get it! I'm down almost 9 pounds in 1 month because of the WW and hopefully will start dropping it faster with this little addition to our schedule!

I'm so friggin hungry!

Ok, that is my rant for the day. I'm hungry. Although I am in the middle of eating a sandwhich for lunch, I'm starved. I have been doing so good losing over 2 pounds a week. I get on the scales this week I gained!! I gained so much it is going to take me back 2 weeks! uggghhh I fudged a lot that week and I have been on medicine...thats it, lets blame it on the medicine and not the ice cream cone I had! At any rate, I am back on track now!!!

Ok, so what else is going on besides being hungry? Can you say VACATION??? No, I'm not on one now, but I have booked 2 this week. The most fun will be the 5 day carnival cruise with the girls!!! Ahhh no stress... just drinking and fun! I can not wait! The other one is Tylers graduation trip. Yes, it is a year away, but I am a planner and all.... We are going to Puerto Vallerta or how ever say and spell it! I'm going with my BFF Shelly and her family and my other BF Cheryl and her husband. Hopefully it will be a blast! Hopefully my sis and her family will join us too!

Job situation is holding up for now. Thankfully!

what else??? oh, I have a pain in my shoulder/back that is irritating the crap out of me! That is what the meds are for... it had better go away quick. I'm getting gripy...ok, ok, I've always been gripy, but I am more gripy with this pain! NO comments on that subject please :}

Yall have a safe and happy 4th of july. When I post next I will be a little bit older...and I'm sure something else will fall apart on me too!

Someone is actually listening to me???

Now, if you know me you know I give out useless, unsolicited advice daily...ok, hourly... but according to crazy texas mommy I am a smart woman... now I don't really know about that. But I do know when the cards are stacked against you and you feel like there is no hope instead of giving up you need to make a plan. It is much easier to just give up than to deal with things but you it won't get you anywhere.
With times like these we are struggling. If we have a job we are in fear of losing that job. There is never enough money to go around either... The best advice I have is make a plan. Write down your plan, then cross off things so that you know have accomplished something. Whether it be you finally painted a bedroom that needed painting, or you paid off a bill that wanted to pay off, or you just have things in general to deal with. You will feel much better about getting something small accomplished than looking at the big picture thinking you have been spinning your wheels for nothing.
Good luck Crazy TX Mommy in getting your credit cleaned up. I was there a long time ago with someones bad debts that I married into. It is a struggle but I know that you can do it. You want that house, the seller wants to sell it and hopefully will be patient while you get your letters together explaining everything. Hopefully the mortgage thing will still go through. Keep us posted (I know you will..) and keep your chin up girl. You have 2 beautiful children that can't afford for you to give up and fall apart! Like I said, we are moms and we can make anything happen if we just hang in there and don't give up.

Kyra

Ok, so I took some adorable babies pics yesterday and I want to share a few with you this week. This is a sweetheart name Kyra. I can't decide which one I like the best. You decide.

Let the tailgate begin

George was wonderful!!!

We had a great time at the George concert! We were the first ones there to tailgate at 11 that morning and the last ones to leave at 1:30...It was a blast! They substitued Leanne Womack for Julianne Huff...or however you spell her name... Leanne was great! We got some upgrades from our crappy seats so it was all good! I wasn't very good at taking pictures. AT ALL! I did that morning when we were setting up the tailgate party, but after I started drinking...it was all down hill... I am trying to get my hands on some pictures. I'll post them when I do.

I can't wait to see George...

I mean, look at this man... is he not a sight for sore eyes??? Not to mention when he sings a song it automatically becomes a hit. He is an oldie, but goodie!

We have a full day of concert going on tomorrow! I can't wait. Good friends, good food, GREAT music... we got it going on!

We have seats so far in the back I won't get to see his wranglers up close, but that is ok, I will be singing along to every word.

I will be a retired concert goer after this one but what a great way to go out! George, Reba, Blake Shelton, and someone else, can't remember, it will be a blast!

There are times when Mothers just shouldn't mother...

We went to try to load (coax) deer into the trailer last Friday night. I hadn't ever seen this so I wanted to witness for my first time...so we are almost there and the guys call and say that one of the deer had its fawn. So to say we were tickled pink is an understatement! The mama had just had it hours before as she was still cleaning it. She wouldn't let me anywhere near and since I didn't have my zoom lense with me I vowed to show up the next morning bright and early!
Well, we did... there was no fawn in sight. We searched and searched. Finally we happened upon her in this pile of brush.

 

Mama instinct number one kicked in.. the baby was left all alone. Mama didn't have a care in the world that we walked up to it. She was off eating and could care less. So mama instict number 2 set in we have to take care of this baby! Mama doesn't want it, it is starving, OMG we need a bottle... So we wait for the guys to bring a bottle. In the meantime, perfect photo op because lord knows when we will ever get to hold something this precious again! Photo Op #1

 

Photo Op #2..Amy loved, loved this baby. It was her deer that had given birth and abandoned it so we let her have a little extra lovin time to try to mend the damage that had been done...

 

ahhh the bottle finally arrived...but one problem...she wouldn't eat. So we tried and tried and tried some more. We finally had to leave for the flea market not knowing if this baby was going to make it the rest of the day or not. I do not deal with death well, so it had better make it!

 

When we arrived back from Canton she still wouldn't eat with a smaller bottle. So we all left and went home to google what to do...everything we read kept saying the mamas left their fawns for the first couple of days and not to touch them and the mama would come back...
This is one instance where 3 Mothers just shouldn't have mothered! I hope we haven't caused this deer more harm than good! It is 3 days into it and she is still alive...(either that or they haven't broken the news to me yet...) a valuable lesson learned...
