Weigh in Wednesday, and some other stuff...

So the big weigh in at my nutrition class was last night. I was really worried because I hadn't been for 2 weeks. When you have the stomach flu you can't exactly eat right. In fact, yesterday was the first day I ate much at all. I was going to be SO mad if I had gained weight after being so sick. Well hooray, I lost another 1 pound. So that is 8 lbs overall, and have 16 until my goal. It is taking forever, but I just know that each pound lost will hopefully not ever make it back on, and the slower I lose it, hopefully the longer it will stay away.

Other than that, things are just getting back to normal here. I got the house cleaned, millions of loads of laundry done, kids back to school, groceries bought, errands done, etc. Today I am headed back to the rec. center to work out again.

Yesterday I had a nice time. It was spent with a wide variety of friends. I was pretty much kids free the whole day so it was weird. My mom watched Kayler while I cleaned my friend Jessica's house. I clean her house every other Tuesday, and my friend Mandy's house the other Tuesday's and my mom's every Tuesday. Jessica is pregnant with boy/girl twins after years of trying. She is a major neat freak like me, but she is so sick and hasn't felt like cleaning-so she is willing to pay me to do it, and I do have to say that I enjoy cleaning for my friends. Cleaning for my mom...well I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but the money is nice!

After I cleaned Jessica's I headed to lunch with Heather (Goodrich) Cox, Jocelyn (Witbeck) McClellan, Lindsey (Larsen) Irving, and Andrea Walker. I haven't seen Andrea since I graduated 9 years ago. Heather is my cousin so I see her more often. I talk to Lindsey and Jocelyn here and there. It was nice to go and reminisce and relax.

Next I had to go clean my mom’s house. It takes FOREVER. It has one whole floor/level (like 3000+ sq. feet) of hard wood....that = lots of work. She watched Kayler and Gavin for me. Then I headed home but Kayler was napping and Gavin was busy playing. I had time to take a quick shower, talk to Hallie for a second, and then off to diet/nutrition class right when G.J. made it home.

My next friend visit was at Erin (Timothy) Massey's house. She lives around the corner, and has done for quite awhile now. I am a bad friend and I am just barely making it over to see it. It is cute. She is putting lots of work into it. She is due any day with baby #3, a GIRL! She has 2 cute little boys so she is excited for the pink. It is so weird; I thought I would be the only one forever and ever with 3 kids. Now it seems that everyone has either caught up with me or passed me!

To finish off the evening, I took Hallie to the Drill Team review. I sat by Jocelyn and Heather and their families. I had the sudden realization that it was a LONG time ago when I was a dancer, in high school, etc. I looked how young and naive all the girls were. I asked Hallie if she wanted to be a dancer or on Drill team or cheerleading when she got big. She gave me a very solid, NO...lol. She would rather "dance in private" she said.

I took her out for an ice cream, then headed home. I was just in time to help pick up the house, sing songs to Kayler, read with Gavin, do an activity with Hallie, and watch some T.V., which is a rare treat for me!

So, everything is good. It is good to catch up with old friends, and make new ones too. I am so so happy to see the snow melting. Yesterday was so beautiful and warm. I know a storm is coming, but the glimpses of spring, my favorite time of year, are getting closer and closer! Have a great day!!!
