In the Peak...

Hello everyone :) I know... I'm slacking again but had a busy fun weekend! Its flippin' frigid out today, like really cold when I walked this afternoon ... I so want to get a inside weight system very soon and start doing weights. It looked nice out this am when I got up so thought... I'll go walking, WOW was it COLD!!!! Now I sit here in the coldest room in the house, the widow's peak and post a blog, does that make sense? This will be the 1st time I actually sat up here alone, its very peaceful and I love the veiw that surrounds me.

So to update everyone on my life events... since I posted last, Mitchel returned home safely from Gordiville on Sunday. He seemed to really enjoy the show and took some really good photos of what I saw. Little Blade seems to be adjusting well to the "all day" Preschool, he is exhausted when I pick him up thou... he is definately not a morning person like his dad, but within a few weeks I hope we can get him into a routine and going to bed at a 'normal hour'. For Issac, he is just so full of life and is just so so carefree, he is still having a few homework issues at school but its getting better. He is a lot like me when I was a child... wow did I just admit that??

Back to my weekend, well... Friday I spent the day with Blade, we ran to DBQ. for a few things and were back home early in the day. I got a few things done here and then spent most of the afternoon just reading books and hanging out with Blade. Later in the evening, Jer and I packed up some things to take to the Club 528 to help Tammy get things ready for her mom's 50th surprise birthday party, Jer came home with Blade while I was helping Tammy decorate, then he later joined us for a few drinks and cheese fries, then Jer and I were off to Houlihans for "our nite" away since it was the only available time for the weekend to go.
Now to Saturday, WOW this day just flew by... I got up early to walk and finish cleaning things up here before I took off to DBQ with my mom to do some errands, then we got back and mom helped me put some salads together for the birthday party. Issac and Blade went to the farm for the day and Jer went into DBQ. for his conference calls he had going on.
About 5pm Jer and I went to Tammy's store to convince her mom we wanted to all go for quick drinks and a bite to eat... this was the sceme for getting Janice to her party... the party turned out wonderful! Did Janice really know of the events... well yes and no... she suspected but just didn't know the "time frame" as she states. We had to leave the party before it ended since we had the annual Tigges party to attend - it was a GREAT night. I had a few in me and I shouldn't of... but it was a hell of a day and just figured why not... I know lame excuse!! I felt bad leaving the mess with Tammy and her family but we could not miss the Tigges' party, we've gone every year since we have known them and they are such dear friends to us! It was a "tame" party this year, it was a GREAT time!! Thanks guys!!!! I enjoyed viewing the photos they took of our party from the weekend before... and all I have to say is "OH MY"!!!!! and please keep those tucked away :) We got home rather late like 2am... and I had to be up early for the following day.
So here I am to Sunday, got up kinda early and got my things packed and got the kids things ready since I was going to be leaving for Madison with Tammy and Janice for "market" and was going to be gone until Monday evening. I wasn't sure I wanted to go since Jer was leaving this week to CA until Friday, but now I am glad I went. We antique'd on the way up, I got a few things on the way. So on Monday we went to "market", I always enjoyed this part when I had my store so it was great to go with Tammy and help her get things for her store. It was kinda a let down thou... lots of 'crafty' items, which I felt like I was at a craft show ... it wasn't that great of a show but Tammy did get some cool new things. It was little trip, I realized though this was the first time in years that I left Jer and the boys behind at home over night and went on my own, I don't go on little trips on my own without the kids nor Jer. I did get homesick like mid afternoon on Monday, it was just a little weird that Jer was at home with kids rather than me, but it was good time and glad I went.

So this week... my goal is to eat really good this week, and exercise a lot! Just trying to stay focused on the whole weight loss thing! Last week I got down 5lbs... didn't weigh myself since I got back from the trip yet and almost scared too... cuz I slipped and had french fries from MCD's yesterday :( but I did good with having only 1 pop a day and still doing good with that one !!!!
Jer takes off for CA tomorrow and gets back late Friday night, hope the week goes fast. Also looks like the bricking in the basement may start tomorrow :) My computer got sent off to Apple today... MISS IT LOTS!!!!! Billy, just order yours!!!!! Or did you?

If any of you are in town! Stop in at Cranberry Hollow!!!!! Tammy has all of her Valentines decor up, and the L.O.V.E. I cut out for her looks fricken adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Abby, make sure you stop, its SO SO SO SO SO cute!!!!!

I should really start the swimming this week... Mel, would you be able to go Thursday?

Until I blog again, stay warm its frigid out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
