Weigh In

August 17, 2009

I’ve been going to the gym now five to six times a week, for about five weeks.  The usual routine is wake up when kids do, get hubby off to work, feed children and self, get kids and self ready to go, go to gym.  Saturdays I work out with hubby.  Lately, I’ve been going Wednesday evenings with my hubby because his workout buddy goes to church.  Last Wednesday something very humiliating happened to me.  Take a deep breath, sit down if you need to.  My husband of six years peeked at the number on the scale when I weighed myself.  

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some might say I’m overreacting, but this is a big deal to me.  I am very sensitive about my weight.  Am I obese? No. Overweight? Yes.  I am trying very hard to lose it.  The weight that is, I ‘lost it’ a while ago. :)   Another thing you should know is that I don’t tell anyone my weight.  Not my mother, not my sisters, my father and brothers probably wouldn’t care, but still, they don’t know.  The ONLY person who knows would be my doctor.  And know, my husband. 

Probably the worst part of the whole thing was how nonchalant he was about the whole thing.  “I still weigh more than you do.”  Your a six foot two inch tall man, your supposed to weigh more than me.  I’m veritically challenged at five two, but don’t care.  Good things come in small (or short) packages.  But I digress. 

I just think it was wrong.  He knows I’m weight sensitive.  I didn’t look when he weighed himself, but then again, he wouldn’t have cared.  Am I being to crazy and female?  I know it’s not very pirate-like to be so upset, but pirates do act by their emotions just as much as the next weirdo.

Tell me what you think.

Similarities between Moms and Pirate Captains

August 12, 2009

I find that there are some similarities between the two.  Being both, here are some thoughts:

Diplomacy:  Whether its deciding who gets to wear the ducky towel after bath or dividing up the booty of the latest pilage (which was customary), diplomacy is key.

Dancing and Sing  Appreciated by the whole crew.

Giving Orders:  Hoist the main sail!  Weigh anchor!  Swab the poop deck!        Clean up that mess!  Eat your dinner!  Wipe after you poop! 

MutanyFor both occupations, muntany is NOT an option!!!

OMG Halloween is getting so close!

August 10, 2009

OK, OK, so it’s still August.  But seriously people if I’m going to be something awesome I have to start thinking now.  The process takes a while.  I have many things to factor in, like if I’ll be going to any parties or will it strictly be trick or treating w/ the kiddies.  Will my services be needed at hubby’s school for frivolity?  What will I weigh at the time?  (I’ve been working out and actually losing.)  All this and more must be considered.  I’m also thinking of themes here people.  Bean wants to be a princess (again).  Could I make Tank a prince?  Not likely, I don’t forsee him keeping a crown on for any length of time.  He’s also been into the pirates lately.  I don’t know who influences him at all.  :)   (By the way, if you have little ones who enjoy piracy as much as mine do, rent The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything, it’s great! 

Speaking of pilaging, they just woke up from their nap.  Let me hear some suggestions.

Yea!! It’s Monday!

August 10, 2009

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in writting before.  Most people hate Mondays.  Back to the grind at a miserable job, the death of the weekend.  For me, Mondays are like a warm up for the rest of the week.  If I get going on Monday, the rest of the week seems to run relatively smoothly.  So heres to Mondays, may they be revving you up today.

How Pirate-like are you?

So the Rededication didn’t work out so well.

August 5, 2009

Ok so I’ve had some life stuff to deal with, but now will try to get back into the swing of things.  I’m also going to enlist the assistance of my sister to get this blog to be rather schnazzy.  So coming soon will be a bunch of articles to help you out.  New Recipes, Money Saving tips and ideas, and anything else I can conjure up in this little brain of mine.  So stay tuned…

TGIF

March 27, 2009

Well it’s not like the weekends are too much different then the week days for me, but Sportsman is home.  Plus, we are going to a birthday party tomorrow at a roller rink.  I haven’t been to a roller rink since high school and I am pumped.  It should be interesting to say the least.  Let’s just hope husband and/or I have to go to the hospital. 

Since other people have off on the weekends, I think I will from blogging as well.  Plus this is Palm Sunday coming up and it’s the longest Gospel.  Should be fun with the rugrats trying to keep them quite and calm at church.

Wish me luck on all counts!

So Far, So Good

March 26, 2009

This is the second day and I’m going strong.  Added a couple of things here and there, but I think I need some assistance from my sister who is a whiz with all things computers.  And be proud of me, I’ve spent about half an hour on today.  Well my son, the Tank, is trying to surf on my rocking chair.  I do NOT want to go to the ER today!

Rededication

March 25, 2009

I’m going to really try to rededicate myself to this site.  My best friend told me she had a blog and I was ashamed at how I just haven’t been keeping up with mine.  Tsk, tsk!  All I have to do is keep to a schedule.  I’m going to spend at least 15 minutes, eek, if I have that, a day on here.  It’s like cleaning the bathroom, I’ve decided that Wednesdays are for cleaning the bathroom. (Unless I’m having company over, then I’ll clean it too.)  So here’s to rededication!  Slainte!

First Blog (Original Right)

October 18, 2008

So this is my first blog.  This isn’t going to be anything to good.  I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a while.  My two kids have been battling a horrific cough and it seems when one is finally able to sleep the other one is up.  I just hope the doctor is right about it being allergies.  I’m going to give the new prescription that the dr. gave till Monday.  If they still aren’t better I’ll pull my hair out and then take them to the dr. again.  I want them to be well again.  They try so hard to be happy and normal, but when my two year old tells me that she is just going to lay down on her bed for a while because she doesn’t feel well, I know something’s not right.  Wish me luck on getting some sleep.
