Fitness update

I'm trying to get back in the groove here. It seems like I've avoided blogging about any fitness stuff because I haven't been doing very well. Well, I haven't. Life has been really crazy though and I do need to be a mom first. OK thats sort of an excuse but now its gonna be summer vacation so I will have LOTS of time on my hands. Also, I just found out that my gym is starting a new dance class on thrusday nights. Its a fusion of hip hop, 80's, african, pop, etc. and I am SO FREAKIN EXCITED~!! It will be starting in 3 or 4 weeks, the teachers are training for it right now. Can I get a collective YEAH BABY!!! I'm SURE that my buddies Jill and Maddy will be there with me....right????? :D ANyway, I did a good spinning class yesterday and then my friend Kristi came over today and we did a Turbo Jam DVD. It was fun. I'm usually pretty bad about working out at home, but I couldn't go to the gym because I was babysitting so it was good. I have to somehow figure out HOW I am gonna start eating on plan again. HOW???? HOW??? I can not continue to subject other people at the pool to my nasty fat body, and I must go to the pool, so I guess I gotta change the body. Its amazing how cottage cheesy I get when I eat bad. It only takes a few weeks of eating good and drinking my water for more than half of the lumpiness to go away. Its wierd. I have to admit it is inspiring to see some of the other fit moms. I can do this!! I do still have some upper body muscle, its just the lower pudge. I at least have to trim off some sludge before my sisters wedding. Hmmmm. I suddenly have the urge to go thaw out some chicken breasts. :D

OH yeah.........and last night started my all time favoriteist favorite show....So You Think You can Dance!!!



This made me cry the first time I watched it....and I havent' seen it in a few months so um yep I was cryin again. PLEASE tell me this season could be as awesome as last season, because I can't even imagine that. I love this clip because it is of Benji and his cousin Heidi (who are members of our church in CA) and it is the firsrt time the judges/producers are seeing these 2 dance together. In fact Benji is doing a last chance audition here because they arent sure if they should cut him from the show or not. HA! He showed them, huh??


Well I guess I have to stop procrastinating my mopping and get busy. Dang.

I've been tagged

SO ...the rules are..
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!


Here are 7 little known facts about me: read on if you dare ;D

1. I'm really lazy when it comes to stuff I don't want to do. I mean...REALLY LAZY

2. I love it when Mark calls me Franchesca(I know there is a cooler way to spell it...but I can't remember it)

3. I'm (normally) an awesome speller...I can spell anything (except Franchesca :P)

4. I have horrible spider veins on my legs and I've always been worried that I would develop varicose veins. So far, it hasn't gotten too bad, which is wierd considering all my pregnancies. If I had the $$ I'd get everything lasered.

5. I have never once bought bath towels.

6. I love being my mom's right hand girl for my sisters wedding. Its fun. But I'm a total daddy's girl too. That can be tricky sometimes.

7. I am not an animal lover. Dogs are gross,cats are annoying, and nothing else has enough personality to be interesting. Its just more mess to clean up after and be responsible for. I would never have a pet as my "child". Even if I didn't have any of my own kids, I'd still never get a pet. I think its great for other people, I applaud you.The pets need someone to take care of them. Its just not for me.

A little of what I've been up to lately...

I keep trying not to remind myself that so many of my friends are on a WEEK LONG body for life cruise right now..........waaaaaaaaaaa! I wanna be in the bahamas and the grand turks and the turks with them!! boo hoo poor me. OH well, thats life.

Heres what I've been doing instead:


Mothers Day-Yikes looks like I needed some more lipstick. SCARY!






FOOTBALL: Cade with his cousin and best friend. Are they cute little mini-studs or what????









Talent shows:

Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos














My Sadie girl turned 9 yesterday.....Isn't her cake cute?? We made it together.I sorta forgot her birthday....but I made it up to her. She ended up loving it...whew! :D I cannot believe how grown up she is getting. I never thought it would happen.






1 more week of school!!!! Yay! and BOO!!! LOL

CAUTION: fun and relaxation ahead

Yes, I can't believe that I am looking FORWARD to this weekend!! It is the Father and Sons campout weekend for church, where all the menfolk go off for an overnight and do whatever it is they do (and us moms don't even wanna think about what goes on with the dads in charge)I'm sure its all the dirt-diggin, nose-pickin, fire-pokin fun on the planet and no kid (or dad) ever wants to miss it! Some wildfires have impeded on the site where it was supposed to be but it has been moved to another locale. Mark has to work friday night but my brother Nick (bless his heart) is gonna go and be with the boys after Mark has to leave. Mark is taking them up a little early to spend some extra time since he will have to cut it short so of course the boys are thrilled they get to miss school friday. And Mark gets to miss sleep on friday. Yipes. The best part is that it will be just me and my girl Sadie friday and Saturday (with the exception of friday morning when I have to babysit and late friday night/saturday morning I have to babysit my neice.....DANG IT!!)but at least we will have a few hours to do girl stuff like go to a nice dinner and mabye a movie (I'm thinking Shrek 3). I hate it that we always have tag alongs on the weekends but oh well, what can I do?? I'm not dwelling on that part, just the really fun part. So tonight I can get everything put together for the campout and so I don't have to do any housework while they are gone. We are all so excited!

I think things got worked out for the most with Cade and school, luckily it is the end of the year, and also we have pinpointed a couple of things that he could do different to help the situation next year. Still don't really care for his teacher though. I can't put my finger on it, its just more of an aloof, I dunno, I can't explain it. She's like a crabby 65 year old woman in a 26 year olds body. I wanna say something like "Hey, YOU have 5 kids and go through what I have and then you can give me attitude" 2 more weeks.
