This morning the first thing I did this morning was check my facebook page. Why I did this? I have no clue but it's a bad habit that must stop. As in stop now, today I'm deleting my account. Facebook claims a lot of my time, its been a factor for too long in my life. I can't count how many of my favorite shows I've missed or how many times I've set off the smoke alarm because I burnt food while cooking. A few months ago my account was hacked and someone posted vulgar messages under my name. When it happened I was so hurt and upset, it was one of many moments when facebook caused my blood pressure to rise. For instance I had facebook friends that would see me in public and not even say hello and then there are the facebook friends that only post pics or status updates when they want to brag about something. Don't get me wrong I post Faith's pics often and positive things going on in my life too. I guess I've just out grown the site and some of the foolery on there. I do plan to go back and get the pics I posted but it's time for us to go our separate ways. Maybe sometime in the future we can reconcile but for now it's time to move on. I have so many other things to focus on like losing weight, lowering this old pressure of mine and taking care of the kiddies. Heck I have 99 problems but facebook is no longer 1!

                                                             

Garage Sale Saturday

  Garage Sales this Saturday were a bust. Didn't really purchase anything... Ok, I did purchase from the snack table. I know I didn't need it, but it was there and I hate to walk away empty handed especially when it's a charity garage sale. On another note, I joined Weight Watchers this morning. In the past I've done really well with the program. My weigh-ins will still be on Thursdays and if any of my blogger pals want to join in let me know. I'm also on My Fitness Pal. This link will take you directly to my profile page:

A little motivation can go a long way!

Love Letter Friday

  I've decided that Fridays will be "Love Letter Friday." I'll write of Love or either feature a Guest Blogger to post a Love Letter of some sort. This Friday's letter is dedicated to my daughter Faith, born 17 weeks early.

    Dear Faith,

My miracle baby, God's sweetest creation and reason why I now smile. I'm sorry that I was unable to carry you longer. But your birth has restored my Faith and made me a firmer believer in Christ. You've taught me things in your first year of birth that sometimes takes adults forever to learn. They say things happen for a reason and I believe your birth was to give me a purpose. I've learned patience, I'm nicer and even smile for no reason. Who would have known that a one pound Baby would change the lives of so many people and bring an entire family together. If nothing else good happens to me, I've already been blessed for a lifetime. Faith, Thank You for being daughter. Thank you for the journey that has led me to be who I am now. I Love You!

Love, 

Mom

Weigh-In Thursday

  At the moment I don't have a pic. I'll admit it I went up one pound. I feel like a fat turd. Walking every day is just not getting it. I guess I'll have to add some form of Cardio to the routine. Currently I'm weighing in at 177lbs. Pounds be gone darn it!!!! This is how I'm feeling today...

Picasa 3

  Picasa 3 is so cool! I'm loving it and play with it every chance I get. As you can tell I love to take pics of Faith and she likes to pose...sometimes. These are pics taken with my Blackberry.

Random Pic Tuesday

  Today I'll put random pics of my cuties. I'm blessed with obedient and very funny kids. Although I seem to be a referee and maid lately, I wouldn't trade them for the world. They are my comedians, my Lexapro and Prozac. Love them to pieces!! Introducing #1, #2, #3, and Faith.

  Starting this week I'm going to try to eat right and stick to my diet. This past weekend was crazy and I gave into temptation. I've been unable to walk due to rainy weather, for four whole day. I'm so not looking forward to Thursday's weigh-in. For lunch today I sauted shrimp and it was delicious. I didn't follow a recipe, I just did a little "freestyle." Here it is below, had it with a salad that wasn't so pretty.
