Thanks everyone, the finger is doing much better! I went to the gym twice this week, only for 30 min on the treadmill, two days in a row, but I noticed right away the increase in my energy. I’m planning to do that more, and get 10 cups of water in per day.

Have a blessed Sunday. Praise the Lord.

Congrats to Sunny for losing 60 lbs so far!

I shut the van door on my finger a few days ago. It even clicked, although it wasn’t closed all the way, I still had to lift the door handle to free myself. All the times we tell the kids to ‘WATCH YOUR FINGERS!’ and then it happens to me. Hopefully they’ll understand by seeing it happen to me. I’m able to use it but it still hurts at times and is still tight and a little swollen.

OOops. I knew this would probably happen someday. I forgot to weigh-in this monring. I think this is the first time I missed a weigh-in. Oh well, hopefully I don’t forget tomorrow.

I really feel fat lately. Out of breath. Don’t wanna walk anywhere. Didn’t do any of the trick or treating yesterday, only passed out the goodies while hubby took the kids out. I didn’t plan it that way but I was plenty fine with it. Hopefully next year will be a better story. There’s a lot of annoying side effects resurfacing due to not being on plan. Those are enough to get me thinking about getting back to it.

Joshua was a sheep for Bible Character Dress up on Wednesday. I spent a few hours gluing cotton balls to a shirt and a hat.

Yesterday, for Halloween, the boys were both pumpkins.

The loot!

When we took that overnight camping trip last week, I didn’t sleep well. I woke up at least 5 times in the five hour period we ’slept’. The next morning as we sat by the campfire and I saw the second state park truck pull up by the bathrooms, I mentioned how this one was going to clean them because I could see the mocket…I paused, trying to put the words together, and again it came out ‘mocket…bup’ I went ahead and followed through with the rest of the word because my mind was drawing a blank and unable to put the words and letters in the correct order. I was trying to say mop bucket. We got a great laugh out of that, to the point of tears rolling down. The kids were chatting at us but we were unable to stop laughing. The other night I recalled this around bed time and it took everything for me to not turn over and wake hubby up by saying “Mocket Bup.” We share a room with the two youngest and I was tired and knew that if I did that, we’d both be laughing and waking everyone up for the next 10 minutes or better.

Every Wednesday night at church, in the kids club, they have a theme. Yesterday was crazy hair day. We spiked some of Joshua’s hair blue and ran a comb in Joeys hair too.

On the diet aspect, I’m not even trying right now. The minimum I’ll stick to though, which is weighing in every Sunday.

I took my 5 yr old to see the 3D double feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. A bunch of calories, 3 hours, and $43 later, I’m a little disappointed. The movie was cute and nice to see on the big screen since I didn’t when it first came out years ago. Each time I see a 3D movie, though, I’m left wanting more cool effects.

our camping trip

Yesterday and today’s weight= 300.2

We went for our overnight camping trip on Tuesday at the Valley of Fire. Some of you might remember the last trip up there I swallowed a bee! I recalled that as soon as we approached the Moapa Indian reservation where I bought the ice cream to sooth my throat. It’s interesting to see the difference between the two trips. On the previous one, I was calorie counting and exercising regularly. I was full of energy, confidence, and had the strength to climb the rocks! This time I didn’t even think of doing that. I took two extremely short walks and didn’t care to do much more, except put around the camp and sit by the campfire. It was a great time though…I didn’t want to leave, and possibly next time we’ll do two nights. Our inflatable bed deflated. There was a little over 500 lbs on it. I’m not sure if that is why. Some of them are supposed to hold 600 lbs, but ours didn’t say anywhere on the box. It’s been used before so maybe it isn’t just my big butt that did it! :lol: One can hope. I slept terrible. During the 5 hours time period that we were ’sleeping’, I woke up no less than 5 times. Warm enough though in the sleeping bag, but neither of us knew it was deflating. I thought my hip touching the ground was just a result of the weight in that region! I was probably pushing all of the air over to him and so we didn’t realize the facts until we both got up. I admit I was a little nervous sleeping in the wild secluded area. They do have cougars and mountain lions around, although they say no one ever sees them, they just see the footprints in the sand. There’s also snakes and scorpions, of which we didn’t come across. I did see one rabbit, one hawk, and a bunch of chipmunks.

If you look closely at this one below, you can see the kids climbing on this. Joshua is up top with the red shirt on and Joey is half way up in the white shirt. I’m so glad they didn’t fall!

This camp was awesome. The fire pit, two grills, shaded picnic table,

and the closed in area where we put the tent.
