Quick Overall Catch Up
Ok- down another pound and a half. Total= 6.5 lbs. so far. I'm a little worried because I haven't had time lately to log in to WW online and record my eating and I also haven't had time to go to the gym lately... So I hope I haven't put on any poundage this week, but oh well! Happy to have lost what I have so far. Went to the lake for our "work weekend" this past week. It was so awful... Glass top table shattered all over the top of the dock- went all over the lower deck and onto the boats. Took fuhevah to clean up! Hole in the boat cover on the pontoon= thick mildew all over the seats and other surfaces inside. Seriously- the seats are supposed to be cream colored and they looked camouflage. Poor B literally got his fingertips eaten off by Clorox getting them clean. His fingers were bleeding and hurting for 3 days afterward. No power on the dock when we got there. 3 hours later, B had it fixed....I cut the grass and stepped in a fire ant hill without knowing it. A few seconds later I was running around the yard slapping my legs trying to get them off of me- those things sting when they bite! Annelise got stung by yellow jackets. Emmaline wet the bed for the first time in about 4 years. The dog found a HUGE dead turtle and promptly brought large bones to us on the dock. Oh, and it rained most of the time. Not the best Mem. Day weekend we've ever had, but it could always be worse, ya know? School is done, thank goodness, so I've slept in until at least 8:30 for the past few days. But I'm staying up until about 1 a.m. every night, so it evens out. Trying like a madwoman to get this house packed up. Moving July 7th! I cannot wait. I'll have to post new pics soon- so much has been done this past week to the new house. Realized we are going to have to find a new home for our sweet doggie, Alice. Annelise has lost interest and doesn't want to take any responsibility for her. As much as I love her and as sweet and good as she is (and she really is...) I cannot take care of her by myself. So, hopefully we will find a family who will love her and spoil her as she deserves. We'll keep her until we do. She is just adorable..... The youth minister at the church we've been going to called me and said they'd been praying about who should take over the youth girls Bible study on Sunday nights and that my name was the one that came up. I would love that so much. I miss being with my girls from my last church. But that means we need to decide if we're going to join this church or not. I'm still a little gunshy after everything I went through at the last one..... Scared. Anyway- praying about that. I have until August to decide. Sooooo much going on- but all good things. The girls are behaving like demon-possessed coyotes for the past few weeks. Gonna lose my mind. Hoping Aunt Libby calls soon and wants them to come spend the night with her so I can have a really productive day. We'll see! I'll try to post pics, soon. Until then- just hope I keep my sanity......
