New Year's Eve Wake-Up Call...

Day 154
♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥
Happy New Year’s Eve!!!

So I went to my Weight Watcher meeting and weigh-in this morning – the first time in two weeks…
*drum roll please*
As predicted; I gained 5lbs.
Hey, I know my own body and I also know I haven’t been on top of my game – but that all changes TODAY!
I am weighing and measuring my food again…
Tracking every single morsel…
And I am walking today – even made a new song list on my iPod!
Next week’s weigh-in WILL be better!
Enough said…


Tonight we are ordering Chinese takeout with the kids – family tradition. I will be ordering some wonton soup – and only the soup; thank you very much!
Yeah, we live on the edge huh?
Actually Brian and I are quite content to stay in. We both have MANY a New Years Eve out on the town in our past – we rather like LOVE the *simple life*…
After all …
It’s all about the simple things in life!

Blessed Be…

Day 152
♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

So I survived Christmas…
Thus far at least!
I do admit to exhaustion though – so much so that I actually chose to miss Goddess Group last night. I had a headache that would kill a yak! Plus I just wanted to be home with my family. It was the first night ALL of us were home since before Thanksgiving!
I think I/we as a family need a week (at least!) to recoup from the hustle of the holidays!
I know I do and I know Skylar does – she is so outta sorts and off-schedule that she has taken to whining; something she has never done before.
I suppose it could just be a stage too? Either way, I think she needs to be readjusted to her old schedule and have some more structure again.

Weight Watchers wise – I have good days (yesterday) and bad days (the entire prior week) – heh-heh!
But I am making the choice to let the past stay in the past and move forward. I have weigh-in and my meeting on Friday and I fully admit to preparing myself for a significant gain (I am thinking maybe like 5lbs –gasp!).
But it is what it is…
And I am ready to get back on track and DO THIS already!
I haven’t walked in MONTHS – well, other than the random day here and there that I walk out of sheer guilt. But to say I walk in a routine like I did back in August –October --- Ummmm no I do not.
But I want to again!
My expensive walking shoes are missing me – plus I got some AWESOME outdoor gear to keep me warm whilst walking.
NO EXCUSES!

Work wise…
I do still have a job – yay!
Not a lot of hours but a job at least and I kinda feel like the hours thing will change. Slow time of year and I just need to hold tight until the spring – I can do that!
I love my job and working there again!

I am going to make a conscious effort to try and write more. This blog is my sanctuary and I need to utilize it more!
I miss writing…

Anywho…
The day begins and I have a bazillion things to do!

Blessed Be…

So What Wednesday...

SO WHAT if…

• Skylar’s 2nd Birthday is a little less than six months away and I am already thinking theme, guest list, cost, etc! I refuse to let this creep up on me and overpower me last minute!
• New Year’s Eve is one of my most favorite holidays – we are staying in this year with the kids and eating gobs of Chinese food!
• I have no desire to try and compose a list of resolutions – maybe I will change my mind, maybe I won’t?
• I officially own four new pair of KILLER 4” stilettos that have never graced my foot other than trying them on – someday I WILL wear them!!!
• I play Barbie with Skylar – she was my MOST favorite toy as a little girl and watching my daughter play with them now is just priceless – and yeah, I am having a wee bit of fun too! Okay a LOT of fun! *heh*

What are you saying SO WHAT to?
Let us know… join the fun on Mama Dew’s page!

Skylar & the Purple Crayon...

There isn't a better way to end a day like a hot bubble bath, some warm jammies, and letting your creative juices flow with a coloring book and a purple crayon...

Princess Skylar...

I don't care what anyone says...
I think every girl, little or big, should believe in magic and that there is one amazing man-of-their-dreams/Prince Charming out there to love them forever and treat them like a princess!!!

Life can be a fairy tale if you allow it...

And they lived happily ever after...
The End!
