I know, I know… I have been neglecting you chickies. I have been wanting to read what’s been going on with you. And wanting to tell you that I LOST 1.2 pounds yesterday! w00t! But, with the boys and their sports and instruments, homework and eating, and the hubby having to go to bed at 8:30 so he can get up by 3:30, I have nudged you out of my schedule. And I don’t like it!!! So, I am taking a few minutes this morning :)

The weigh in yesterday made me so nervous because I didn’t do as much cardio as I wanted to, and the number lost reflects that. I am going to make an effort to step that back up, because it makes SUCH a difference, not only in my weightloss, but in my mood. I feel less guilt for eating when I work out. Twisted, I know. Work has been CRAZY with the auditors there, but I am thankful for it because I am learning so much. I think I may just be getting the hang of this! We’ll see how today goes. My birthday boy is 6 today, and has managed to make it THREE days in a row without lightly tapping, pushing, or punching anyone, and I am so happy for him. His teacher made a deal with him (in lieu of sending him to the principals office for the third offence, which is customary) that if he could go all week this week with good behavior she’d give him a stuffed animal. He is doing so well. I was going to tell him he should act like that EVERYday,but then I thought about my weightloss; everyday forever is too much for me, and I think week to week. Why can’t he? So now that is what we’re gonna do! Only 2 more days left of him being good! hahaha I am leaving work a bit early today to take cupcakes to his class. They have a rule that they have to be store bought. Public school. UGH. We usually make FABULOUS homemade ones together and that is part of the fun… giving your classmates something you helped to make. But, a couple losers who get their kicks hurting kids have technically hurt them all now that this rule is in place. I suppose I feel safer knowing that, considering I don’t know every parent like I did at the boys school before. It’s just kinda sad…

Tonight is shopping for birthday boys presents! We have a tradition where you get to pick your own presents here, and with the money I’m giving him plus all the little gift cards here and there from my mom, dad, sisters, and grandmas, he has accumulated over $130 bucks! Should be interesting to see what we drag home!

Well, I am off to make some birthday pancakes!!! Hope you chickies all have a fabulous day!! :D
