I survived!

Hi everyone! I'm back! Last week was a really rough week. I had my Biology finals and I LIT-terally spent every waking second that I wasn't chasing kids with my nose crammed in a book. It was the worst week ever. EVER. But I did finish with a B and I took it and ran far away. Haha. Seriously, I pray that I never have to do another summer class again.

                  My happy face!!!

I did finish the class on Thursday which was a nice start to my weekend! We were suppose to go to a friend's house on Saturday for some pool fun and a cookout but Luke woke up at 3am Saturday morning with fever so him and I stayed home while daddy and Lil went. It was a good time with just me and him though. We went and got a pizza and some ice cream and watched a movie together. I love having some one-on-one time with my sweet boy. I get lots of alone time with Lil but hardly any with Luke so it was nice!

              Chillin with my homey. :)

Monday night one of my neighbors hostted a ladies night so that we could all get a chance to know each other. I don't know if Ive mentioned this but my neighborhood is really new. I think the oldest house on the block is less than two year old. We've been here about a year and were probably about the 10th or so couple here. So we've watched a lot of folks move in. BUT, I'm not exactly the most social person so I haven't really gotten to know anyone. It was kinda of an odd party. There were definetly some stuffy ladies. And, I felt like one lady just had it out for me. She just kept making remarks every time I would say something or she'd pretend like I hadn't said something. I'm not sure if I offended her the first 15 minutes I was there and maybe she wanted to get back at me. I don't know. Either way, she has the ugliest house on the block, so there. HaHa!

Other than that odd night, nothing much happening. I have decided to try to have a cleaner diet. I normally eat semi clean anyway but I had started to have too much sugar on a daily basis. So, time to go hard core with it. It's been difficult cutting everything out-I have had a Hostess powdered doughnut both days-but I'm doing my best. I'm not drinking diet cokes and therefore having headaches but I'm just trying to power through. Hopefully the first few days are the toughest and things will look up soon!

Anyway, that's it for today! I just wanted to update since I'd been gone so long! I'll check back later y'all!

Finish the sentence.....

Today I'm linking up with Holly  and Jake for the always fun "finish the sentence". It is the first time I've done this link-up and I'm choosing the finals week of summer classes to do it. Go figure. But I had posted anything in four days and figured this would be a great start. So, without further ado........

If I had one extra hour in my day....right now I would study. I have three tests next week.
I wish my name.....was Princess Consuela bananahammock. Favorite show EVER!
I think anything chevron is.....hmmm, I like chevron, just not wearing it.
My last nightmare....I was trying to rescue my son while at the lake. We have a lake trip coming up. Can you tell I'm petrified?
Sometimes.....oh, there are way too many 'sometimes' said in my vocabulary. 
My last meal on earth would be....so hard. But probably pizza and birthday cake. And I would eat the ENTIRE thing!
I would much rather be super smart than look like Gisele. I envy smart people. 
Mayonassaise.....is great for head lice? Rarely use it. 
10 years ago I didn't think....I would have two babies and be trying to get into nursing school all at once.
Selfishly.....sometimes I wish I could have easy carefree days like before kids. But still have my babies of course. :)
My favorite show on TV right now....definetly RHOC! Second, RHNJ. I practically cry when there over every Sunday and Monday. 
And, George Zimmerman.....poor guy. seriously, his name is George Zimmerman. And he's not even old. I think he's gonna have some real problems in his lifetime, whatta you think??

 That's it folks! Thanks for stopping by! Y'all have been great!

Struck by Lightning.

Isn't that how the saying goes? Easier to be struck by lightning than to win the lottery. Well, lets just say this girl is lucky cause I already won 500 smackaroos with my Wheel of Fortune scratch off! Did I spend it all in one place. Yes I did. :)

Well today I'm linking up with the link-up queen Holly @ Where We Can Live Like Jack and Sally to talk about what I'll do when I get the jackpot. 

And yes, I'm late to the party, again. :)

First, I'm definetly buying a multiple homes. One close to family (I might even buy all of them on also) a second in Utah (close to Robert Redford, cause I think he's soooo hot for an old guy) a third on a beach (maybe two beach homes, locations unknown at the time) then the rest of the time I would stay in fabulous hotels when I travel. Cause sometimes you just want a hotel.

Second, of course, is a personal jet to fly me to all these places. I mean, come on, did you really expect someone who has multiple homes to fly coach. 

Third, would be live-in staff for all these fabulous homes I have, who I would pay generously. 

Fourth, just living a lavish lifestyle of someone who doesn't work and has it all. I would buy my children everything their little hearts desire and then some. 

And now that I've said all that I guess I won't be winning the lottery. We all know that only those who say they're gonna give to the Hungary children and puppy dogs actually wins. So, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. ;) but for realz I probably would have an oprhange/shelter cause I tend to take all the stray puppies now and I'm poor. 

Laters!

Hello Hump Day

Good to see you again. 

So, I'm taking a break from my biology reading. Right now it over 'shjbcdx gjchnch hdkvbb ncdgc fhffhvg'. Yes, that's what I feel like I'm reading. My eyes are almost burning from the cluster of DNA reproduction I'm going over. Seriously, it's broken down to the nitty gritty what's inside this tiny piece of dirt mumbo-jumbo. I think I may have to reread this chapter. Ugh. 

So, like I stated last week, I'm doing the JM 30ds with Holly @ Where we can live like Jack and Sally and Amber @ Crafty healthy Momma for their July challenge. And yes, this challenge started last Monday and yes, I'm just now getting my before stats  posted. Sue me.

My starting weight was really, really high. I've gained about 5lbs since may. 

         Blah...seriously want to vomit. 

                  And my before pics. 

   I just realized I need better before pics.

 

My measurements were as follows:

Measurements
L -leg 24 1/2"
R-leg 24"
Waist-30 1/2"
Belly/hips 36
L-arm 12
R-arm 12 1/2
Weight 157

Compare to my last Measurements taken back in October. 

L -leg 27 1/2"
R-leg 27"
Waist-331/2"
Belly 38" 
L-arm 13"
R-arm 131/2"
Weight 175.6

 

So there you go. I do have to say, that last week I was not very committed. I took off Thursday-Saturday. So I'm a few days behind. I know it's just 20 minutes but guudlawd sometimes I just can't! Haha. Anyhow, I'm determined to be more faithful from here until August. We rented a lake house second weekend in and I want to be a hot momma out on the lake! So wish me luck! I'm gonna need it. 

 And a selfie for good measure...because what is a good blog post without one?

Later tricks!

Happy day after Fourth of July!

Hello Internet world! Sorry to be MIA this week. I just couldn't find anytime to sit at a computer this week and then we headed out on Wednesday to start our early holiday. I had started a post before we left Wednesday, since babes was home, but didn't get it finished. Story of my life.

So, I have just had a great few days. As I mentioned earlier, babes decided to take some vaca time. It was so nice having him home with me and the kids! We didn't do much Wednesday. We signed at the last minute to do the Firecracker Fast Fleet 5k run so we wanted to take it easy. We packed up and went to stay at his mom's house and had Mexican for dinner. The race was scheduled for 7:30 Thursday morning so afterwards we just came back to the house. I had started a 4th outfit for Lil so I finished it up and went to bed. We were up at 6 the next morning so we would have plenty of time to get our stuff. This was a HUGE race y'all! I think there was about 1200-1500 people. I was thinking, going into it, that I could PR since it was mostly down hill. But there were quite a few hills also and if I haven't noted this before, I don't do hills. But it was fun and I finished with a 10:33 mile. 

Me and the hubs with his brother and wife!

After we finished we packed up and headed to the lake for a night of camping. I haven't camped since before Luke was born and had a great time! I love being out on the water and the weather could not have been better! 
We had a great time hanging out with friends and drinking too much since we were childless. My MIL sent me this pic of the kids that night

I made Lil's skirt and shirt. I didn't make Luke's cause I have not learned to sew or embroider yet, though it is on the list.

And me and babes hanging out on the boat. Excuse the weird face from him! I hope y'all had a great 4th of July also! 

Also I wanted to let Courtney from A Few Days in the Life of Courtsie Ann B i havent forgotten about her! It was so sweet of her to nominate yours truly for a Leibster Award which I'm very excited about. I promise I am working on it!

I also wanted to make note that I have joined up with Holly and Amber for the JM's 30DS challenge. So I have my before pics and my measurements and I plan on getting those posted soon! 

 

Everyone have a great weekend!
