Blessings and Traditions....................

Happy Thanksgiving, Ya'll!

We counted many blessings and NO CALORIES this holiday weekend!! The Hubby's parents drove in from Ohio for a visit and instead of having a giant Thanksgiving feast, we kept it simple and jumped right into Christmas time.........................

After lunch and a nap on Thanksgiving, we jumped in the car and drove to Stone Mountain Park. It was a bit chilly as the sun went down, but it couldn't have been any more perfect for jump starting the Holiday season..................My favorite time of year!!

Pictures, you ask?? Getting them downloaded!

The rest of our weekend included tons of football watching for the male persuasion of our home and kiddie time and cooking time for the rest of us!

A Christmas tree was purchased and sparkling icicle lights were hung all around our home. This was a first for us and I can't wait to show off the hubby's hard work............

with those pictures, I am downloading!

Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving and off I go to finish more downloading!!

I just want my BLOG back!!!!

I miss my blog......................

Life has sent me on a roller coaster and it's keeping me from my kids "baby book"...............

The only baby book they may ever get................damn, another thing to add to my "to do" list!!

Anyway, I owe crazy Halloween pictures, my baby's 2nd birthday post, pictures from his perfect party and other shenanigans we have gotten ourselves into!!

Is it wrong to hire someone to do your posts? Ok, Ok, that would be bad!

Oh!! And I am about to finish Month 2 of Hell, I mean, Boot camp!!

Svelte? not yet.
Firm? not yet.
Bathing suit ready? Hell no.
Smaller? YES.
Stronger? YES.
Mentally? helping


Hope to get back into things soon....................please keep checking. Oh and You know what is very motivating????

FOLLOWERS!

That's right, people, add to my list!! leave me sweet, inspiring comments, those are great!!

ketchup, Catsup, CATCH UP!!!

I have a TON of catching up to do.........It's been a very busy month here in the jungle..........

I'll start with my little angel...........

As my frustration level gets higher during the "bedtime" routine, she looks over at me and says "Mommy, smile at me every day".............

Ok, I am a sucker................

She wins!

Drumroll please......................................

It's OFFICIAL!...............I survived Bootcamp!!

And the stats are...................
4 weeks ago yesterday, I did 15 "army" style pushups and 30 girly style (on the knees) in 1 minute.........
Last night, I did 33 "army" style pushups and 12 girly style in 1 minute!!!

4 weeks ago yesterday, I did 16 situps in 1 minute.......Yes, I know that is awful, but you have your abdomen stretched to max capacity twice and tell me how many you can do!! ok, I am kidding, I don't really want to know!!
Last night, I did 25 situps in 1 minute!!

I even shaved off 2 minutes on my time for running a mile, bringing it to 11:44!!

Now, I honestly can't say that I notice a difference physically, but it was fantastic having friends tell me how "skinny" I looked Sunday at the fall festival.........I even wore my skinny jeans!! Now, between you and me, they were my new larger sized skinny jeans, but WHO CARES, right????!! AAAHHHHHHHH, aren't friends great!!

Now, to do or not to do...........again, that is a good question!!
