Well for those of you that are wondering where I have been, here I am. Things have been busy around here. My girls weekend was fantastic. We went to our fav Mexican restuaraunt and had lots of laughs and pitchers and pitchers of Margaritas!! Ole! P decided she wanted to know what it was like to have something like double H size hooters. Ha! A let her borrow the bra and out she came from the bathroom with it on top of her shirt stuffed with towels. How funny it was! A guy even came over from the bar to check it out and his wife came too! It was so hilarious, we figured that couple would be heading to Wally world after dinner to look for such a bra!! Ha... Saturday my friend Crystal and hubby came in town from STL. Me and C headed out to meet up with the girls at a bbq place and the boys stayed home all night playing with the kids and hanging out. The girls then headed to a really cool store that had more jewelry than you could imaging(costume type but really cheap) and handbags and sunglasses. I resisted the temptation to buy anything but I can definetely see my self going back another time! We headed back to Linda's and ate some absolutely wonderful shrimp etoufee that she makes. It was really great and didn't take her long to make it. We then watched big momma's house 2, didn't think I'd care for it, but it was actually pretty funny!! Took C & R for a drive around Memphis on Sunday and showed them a few of our sites, not to overwhelming but hey at least they can say they saw Elvis now! Not really but there were a few look alikes walking around outside of Graceland. Too Funny! Before they headed out on Mon. we took a little trip over to Tunica to catch some lunch at the casinos and drop a few coins in the machines! Well lunch was good but the best part was I actually won 200 bucks on the quarter slots. I couldn't believe it, yes that was my actual winnings! I have never won at the casinos before anymore than a few dollars, so of course after the winning I was done for the day, cash out and away we go. We had such a great weekend and the boys loved playing with our company, D sure didn't want them to leave!
The rest of the week was spent just catching up on laundry and house work and of course the dirty word, WORK. I am thankful though to only work 3 days a week , what a blessing that has been. It gives me time to do things I need to do, so that I can spend the rest of the time playing with the kids. The weather has been trying to warm up, so the kids have been playing outside in the evenings, they enjoy that alot!
Well we also broke down and finally traded M's car for an suv. He had about 100,000 miles and needed something a little more reliable as it was starting to have issues. We have really missed having the third row capability since we traded the yukon. So now we have a SUV again. It's really nice and Dev loves it and wants to ride in the "way back". We wanted to try to go as along as possible without a car note, but oh well, I feel better that now he won't be out in the middle of the country on business and the car break down and he would have to call for help from who knows who..... Needless to say, we're happy about the decision.
What else......Been totally working my butt off at the gym. Hawaii is only about 5 weeks away and I'm hard core at this point. I want to be able to enjoy the trip so I must suffer before right?! Well sorta, but my hardwork is paying off and I'm seeing results which is the best part. I am gaining my momentous will power and hopefully I can keep with it. I am on week three of my intense seriousness for weight loss and have already lost inches. I must say the pounds arent' quite falling off, but that's why I have measured my trouble spots. For those out there that need motivation, try measurements. Even though I haven't lost but a few measly pounds I have lost inches and my clothes are looser, that's the most important, and I feel great. GET MOVING! It will make you feel better about yourself and help you stay healthy for yourself, your family, and all of those that love you!
So, D had his first audition for the modeling thing. We haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully in the new few days. The agency seemed interested but there were so many others at the audition we were only in the room about 5 minutes. I hope to hear soon, if he will be called back. We'll see what happens.
Well that's a little of what's been going on here. The boys are doing great and growing up so fast. B is about to eat us out of house and home at only 15 months old. I don't know what I'll do when they are in HS. I might need to get an extra job just for food! We don't know where he puts the food, he's not overweight at all, just what I like to call a Buddha belly! A visit from Uncle T is this weekend and I know he'll be suprised how much the boys have changed since he saw them last in Nov. D is talking so much and saying things you didn't even know he knew and Bry has all the main sounds down and all the animal sounds, it's so cute. Well that's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well.
