Worse blogger EVER!!

I know I have to be one of the worse bloggers in history..LOL I go through stages of blogging. It is something I want to get better at, hmmm maybe I will do it this time.

It is so hard to believe that it is 2012, where has the time gone. My daughter will turn 12 in March. How is that even possible, it seems like only yesterday she was just a wee little baby. Time has flown by so fast. She is now a precious little lady. I feel so blessed to be her mother. It is such and honor to be able to stay at home with her everyday to home school her & watch her grow into a beautiful Christian young lady. I was so proud of her this Christmas. She saved up her money, from working (yard sales, helping her grandpa clean out an old storage building, washing cars & etc) and used her money to buy presents or the stuff to make presents for everyone(both side of the family & friends). It was great watching her spend her hard earned money unselfishly on others & she enjoyed every moment of it. She is already planning for next Christmas (she loves Christmas)..

Well a little about me. I finally bit the bullet so to speak and joined WW online. I was wanting to go to meetings with a friend, but she wasn't able to start yet (and I knew I needed to get started NOW!! I've already waited to long).. So I jumped in a did it. I'm now on week three. My first week I'm proud to say I lost 5lbs. My second week I was so nervous, my husband decided to throw a last minute vacation (which we used as a wonderful home schooling field trip) on me. I thought WHAT?? vacation, man I just joined WW and lost 5lbs now you want to go on VACATION. All I could think was GREAT!! Do you know what happens on vacations, you eat.. You GAIN, not LOSE.. But anyway off we went.. Thank heavens for WW phone apps. With my restraunt app and WW tracker, I'm proud to say I survived. I didn't gain, and lost 2.5 lbs. Whew!! What a relief. I was so scared to step on that scale Friday.. I thought if I gain, I may have to choke my husband j/k... well, maybe!! But thankfully I lost and we had a great time. Filled with lots of learning & fun.

We went to the McWane Science museum, the Titanic museum, Wonder Works, Ripley's Aquarium. It was great, so much fun & learning all wrapped together. Loved the Titanic museum. They give you a profile of a person that you become as you step aboard that really was a passenger on the Titanic. You go thru the tour, learning and seeing all sorts of amazing things. You even get to put your hand in the icy water to see what it felt like (my hand went numb pretty fast, it was horrible to think of the ppl who were in that water) At the end you learn whether the person you are lived or died. Katie & I both had ppl who survived. Katie's story of her person was an amazing story. I'll try to post more about it later. My poor hubby on the other hand, well his person didn't make it. We knew from the beginning his chances were pretty low when he got his card and he was a male 3rd class crew member. The only thing that could have made the museum better would have been if we could have taken pics while on the tour, but sadly it wasn't allowed. We did get some pics outside the museum and in the gift shop. Which I'll try to upload on another day.



Well now that we are back from our great trip, what happens. I wake up sick.. Seriously, we get back late Thursday night. I wake up Friday with a sore throat. Then this morning, I woke up even worse. My poor throat is on FIRE!! and my poor head has been killing me. I sadly spent most of the day in bed. Pretty sure I have strep. Praying no one else gets it, and it leaves me pretty quickly.

Well anyway, that is a quick recap of what has been going on lately with us. So much I need to update on since it's been so long since my last post.. But I'll have to save that for another time..

Ta Ta for now! :)
