You will not believe this

I had the most relaxing day today!! I stayed up all night and got my house tip-top, laundry and all. Everything wrapped, mailed, delivered, organized and done already. I slept in till almost 9 then hung around with the kids, drank hot chocolate, etc. MIL too the kids to see Charlottes Web so I got a little quiet time. I did have to go get a few pics developed and get about 10 items at the grocery store. No problemo. So that was it. I hung around and chatted with my FIL and Mark and it was great. Tomorrow is church (3 hours thank goodness...its 3 hours I won't have to deal with the kids bouncing off the walls)I'm singing in a great choir. I am really looking forward to the Christmas spirit the whole day. Tomorrow night we are having mexican food (green chicken enchiladas, spanish rice and salad). Then Monday it will be pumpkin pecan pancakes for breakfast,(biscuits and gravy for Mark and his dad) then the traditional chicken curry and rice. The kids are getting everything they want, its gonna be great for them. Then Tuesday my whole family is coming over in the evening and that will be super fun. My mom is getting dinner from Costco (whatever that means) but all it matters to me is no cooking for ME. YAY!

Stepped on the scale at 133 today. I was so thrilled!! I still want to finish the year at 130, so I am not going to go nuts (I have been eating little bits of treats here and there so I'm not too ravenous anyway) and really hit the working out and diet this next week till the 1st. I hope you are all having an awesome holiday!!

I'm Still Alive!!!

And on over-turbo drive!!! I wanted to make sure and update since you all were so awesome for saying Hi!! :D Thanks so much for that! I miss everybody. Heres a quick nutshell update and a litle Christmas video to put us all in the Christmas spirit :D You'll see why I've been so MIA. Its been a great and exciting month to say the least.

We traded in both our cars. I got an '05 Expedition (WOO HOO does not even begin to describe it) And Mark traded down for a much cheaper PT cruiser. SO FUN!!We are not out that much more $$ monthly, and we got cash back. CHA-CHIIIIING!!

I got a very chic sassy new haircut. Still long, but all wispy and layered. And darker. I LOVE it! Now I need new clothes DESPARATELY!!

My mom was here from Montana, and Marks dad is here (at our house)till at least the 26th. Mom got m a sweet digital camera for Christmas (was that a subtle hint?) so now I can post pics of some new stuff! Aren't you all so excited?? LMAO

Mark graduates in 3 WEEKS!!! SaWEET!!! I had to go to a stress management class at his academy last night....ooooh pressure to look cute. GAAH!

Kids are doing good, just lots of school stuff to do. Love the challenging academics, but its a lot of stinkin work and follow up for the parents. Give me a break already!!

Fitness wise, I'm holding in there at 135, and feeling really good. Gym time is at a minimum, and its cancelled for my schedule this week, but I am really happy to be maintaining at my all time low.

So that is it. I have every day of the rest of this entire week planned out in 3 hour increments to get it all done. How nuts is that. I'm in panic mode. I was 45 minutes ahead of schedule this afternoon so I snuck in this post. See how much I love and miss you?? Nope, no nap for me, only blogging. :D Have a good week, and

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Update December 6

I figured it has been a while since my last post, time to update!

Things are going pretty good. I am in a buffmother challenge till Dec. 23, and its going pretty well so far. My first week back I rocked it and lost 8 pounds (can you say Thanksgiving bloat??) This week has not been as good but I'm certainly not off the wagon. I have missed th gym monday and wednsday though. Our car is needing to be replaced and I have been really busy getting financing, decorating for Christmas, and just general life in december with 5 kids. Anyway, things are going along.
Insanely busy as usual. Just when I think I have a minute to sit back and rel.....OOPS something comes up! LOL

Well, I miss all of my blends, seems like everyone has moved on to other blogs and I don't know where to find anyone, So anyone who stops by make sure and say hi!
