an update from your half a$$ blogger friend

yeah...that's right, ya'll. i feel like a total half ass blogger. i mean, i haven't blogged in i dunno how long and the list of blogs that i need to read to catch up on ya'll's really seems neverending. so let me apologize now for not staying up to date on all your lives, triumphs, tribulations, and whatever else ya'll got going on. i'm sorry. and if you don't bother reading mine, then i don't blame ya! 

but if you are still reading now... here's what i have to say...

my kids have been home for the summer and so have i as i'm still doing the whole "stay at home mom" thing and let me tell you.... i'm sooooo ready for school to start back. we are all driving each other nuts. i had all these great things planned for me and the kids to do this summer... yeah... haven't happened. probably not happening. you see, everytime i take my kids out in public - whether it be a walmart excursion or just going to the library - it's a huge ordeal. it's my kids acting like they have no manners or no clue how to behave in public. it's my kids spinning the clothing racks as fast as they can at children's place while i'm trying to check out and the cashier's like "are those your kids?" and i'm thinking "omg.... ARE those my kids???". it's my son throwing himself on the floor of the entrance to the commissary and then flalling (is that a word?) his arms and legs in the air while going "goo goo ga ga". it's my daughter who has reverted back to babytalk and we don't know why. so you see.... i'm counting down the days til i can drop them off at school again.

now what else is new????

i'm down to 196 pounds. yeah. onederland is wonderful. sadly though, i haven't done anything to celebrate my accomplishment. i don't know what to do. i'm officially one pound away from being halfway to goal. one pound away! can you believe it?i can't! 

shopped the mega old navy clearance event twice recently and i'm in size large shirts (the xl's are mostly too big now!) and size large bottoms or size 16 jeans. what a great feeling. i can't remember the last time i bought size large tops and size 16 jeans. a long ass time ago!!!

oh...and i've become one of those extreme couponing people. but let me tell you, it's addicting and i'm saving a ton of money. today alone i saved $134. it's a great feeling and makes me not feel as guilty for not working. sometimes i feel that way. the hubby says i shouldn't. it just still feels wierd staying home when i've always worked all my life.

my eating habits and workout habits have been horrible lately. but i'm still losing so at least that's good. i keep telling myself that as soon as the kids are back in school it's back on the workout wagon for me. and i mean it! i'm hoping zumba will be the answer to my workout prayers. something fun and working out at the same time.

well,i realy should get some sleep. i mean, it's only 1:13am. lol
