scalesI know its plenty of people out there that agree with me when I say the scale is the devil.. well maybe it plays devil’s advocate at times. Why do we tempt ourselves by putting it in our view thru the week? Well I thought if I had it in my view it would remind me to stay on track and remember weigh-ins, hahahahahaha whatever…lol

Healthy Water (Infused)

Have you been drinking your water? You know its needed right? I have a hard time getting all my water in on a daily basis as well. Sometimes it’s boring drinking plain water, and I have even heard people say the do not like water. In these instances I always suggest using the flavored packs from like Crystal Light, or buying the flavored waters. But, now people are infusing their water on their own with fresh fruit and sometimes veggies. This makes your healthy water even better.  And there are several great recipes to do this. Some of the waters are:

The Day They left Me

This is my first Grand Baby Jessiah.

 

Yesterday was both relieving and bittersweet for me. My daughters moved back to Tulsa and so the grand babies  are gone as well. The reason for my relief, I no longer have to yell at the girls, whom wants to be considered grown, for continuing to act like children. And everyone should know that this scenario does not work out well, especially when those acting like kids have kids.  Given these factors, along with others, the girls had to venture out once again to become true grown ups and great Moms in the comfort of their own homes.

Aiden was away for his last visit with the Neurologist for his Spina Bifida, while Jessiah was at home with his mom, my husband and me helping his mom finish her packing. Well at least he thought he was helping. I had a chance to love on Jessiah all the way up until it was time for them to depart, and I guess the hugs and kisses that I planted on Aiden in the days prior to them leaving would have to suffice until I see him again.

The Return

Well I have returned! I was supposed to update my blog with my travel adventures to South Carolina in February, but that plan didn’t work out the way I thought it would. The trip was wonderful, but finding time to post about it was basically non-existent. Of course my intentions were to post during our stay in SC but the atmosphere was so captivating that all I wanted to do was snap pictures and take in the sights with my husband. I know you guys can understand that, right? Anyway, upon our return home everything seemed to be in whirlwind status. Hence my question: Does having a life exist when you have a family?
