Oh man, another busy week down. Sunday night we saw Larry the Cable guy. He was totally awesome. We had such a nice time just Randy and I. Jr had t-ball practice on Wednesday, but Friday's was canceled since we had such bad weather this week. Jr is really trying hard, he is just too cute.
Thursday was Jr's birthday and he turned 6. I just can't belive it. He has grown up so much this past year and is really doing well in school. I am just so proud of him and his progress. He is so smart, and one of the sweetest children I have ever met. He wants to love and please. He has really been listening better and doing better in school. He is becoming such a big boy. Saturday we had his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. This is the first bday party we have had and didn't have it at home. I was nervous, but what they hell have I been doing. It totally makes it less stressful and it really cost me a lot less money. The kid had blast and it was a good time all around. After the party we came home and chilled for a little while then we went to my parents house. Joseph did the bbqing and we all just hung out (except for Dana) she stayed in the bed. She fell at work earlier in the day, so wasn't feeling well.
Today, Sunday, we went and saw Joseph and their new place this morning. It is nice, but I felt uncomfortable. We woke them up when we got there and Dana didn't make us feel welcome at all, it was more like we disturbed her sleep. I thought we were going at a good time since she was supposed to be going into work, but she didn't. We were there for almost 2 hours and she never came out of the room. Yea, she sure made us feel welcome when it was our first time visiting. I am really starting to not like her, she isn't so pleasent to be around. She turns off the cell phone when that is the only way for anyone to contact them, what if something were to happen, we wouldn't be able to reach them. She has a lot of growing up to do that is for sure. After we lef there, we brought the kids to see Monsters VS Aliens. It was in 3D and way cool.
So we have had a very full weekend and have another busy week coming up. LEAP starts wednesday, and I am so ready for it to be over.
Weight loss is still going but has really slowed down. It is almost discouraging. I have lost about 95 pounds total, so I am totally happy with that, just want it to be more.. So I am working on it.

Ok, let me try this again, since JR just deleted everything... The past few weeks have been really busy. Jr started t-ball pratice Friday and seems to really be enjoying it. Whenever he does something he has a big on smile on his face and is laughing. I just love it.... Angelina has even met two new friends. They are her age and they are just too cute. The coach and team seems to be coming together. The parents seem pretty cool too.... Tonight Randy and I are going to see Larry the Cable guy. We have been planning this since before Christmas, so we are very excited.. just wish it wasn't on a Sunday night...
Last week was just as crazy. Michele and I wanted to go to the New Kids on the Block Concert last weekend but the tickets were way too much so we were going to get to go.. Well a friend pulled through and got us the hook up with some steller tickets... Danny gave us 3 tickets and backstage passes. We do not find this out until Thursday night and the concert was going to be Saturday night. So we didnt have much time to prepare mentally of physically... Which i think the mental part took much more work. I was running around the house screaming I was so excited. Jr was on the floor laughing because of the way I was acting. Anyway, Saturday came and went way too fast. We had Copelands for dinner and made it to Biloxi by 7 in the rain. Hung out awhile then went and got our seats. OMG, these were the best seats, we had a clear shot of the guys. The concert was the best. I am hooked more now than ever... I gotta start saving now for the summer concert. We had backstage passes but they ended up not doing back stage. Yet again I was supposed to meet these men and didn't get the chance. I will meet them one day, I just gotta..
Weight loss update. I am up to 92 pounds, that is not official but using my at home scale. But that is what I am getting. I am feeling absolutely fabulous, but stil have a ways to go. My pants are hanging off of me. I just can't bring myself to buy any pants or shorts, but I think I am going to have to suck up and get a pair of shorts. My one pair absolutely look ridiculous on me. I am so glad I did it, definately a life changer....

Wow, what a busy weekend. Saturday the kids spent the night with my parents. Randy and I had date night. We really needed it. We went to Osaka for dinner and then to the movies. We saw He's Just not that into you. It was a chich flick, and I have never brought Randy to a chick flick but we went. It was good and we enjoyed it.
Sunday Joseph and Dana were supposed to bring the kids to the zoo. Randy had to work, so i was going to get a Teresa Day. Yea, right! Joseph woke up with a high fever and Dana was oblivious to the whole zoo thing when mom was trying to figure out a way for all of them to still go. So anyway, We ended up bringing them to Chuckie Cheese for lunch. They were happy and quickly forgot about the zoo. Mom and dad came with us, we all had a good time until I got really nauseated. So basically I hurried out of there and went home.
Monday we left early and went to Alabama to check out the in-laws new place. It took us about 3 hours to get there, including stopping and eating and going potty. The kids had a blast. We completely wore them out. Angelina passed out on the way home, we couldn't even get to the bay bridge and she was gone.

I really thought I would be better at this blogging thing, but I forget to update when I can. I went to the dr on Tuesday for my official 3 month post op visit. I have officially lost 77.5 pounds!!! That is so exciting to me. There is no way I could have lost that weight and especially in only 3 months. I would have slipped and given up a long time ago. I feel awesome! I know 77 pounds is a lot and I am actually starting to see a change in my body. I have been keeping the photo diary on myspace and the pictures I took this week compared to my before pictures I can really see a difference. I did buy new jeans two weeks ago, and they just feel so good. But, it is so funny cause those are already getting lose. The new underware that I bought are getting lose. So, it is all still working. I am so so glad I did this, and I do not regret it for one minute. My hernia is definately getting on my nerves. It is poking out all the more. It would be more evident of the weight loss if I didn't have that. The dr did say we may have to do the hernia surgery soon than later because of how big it really is. So i am really hoping that I can have the surgery first thing this summer.
Jr has lost another tooth. He is up to 3 now. He is so goofy looking and I absolutely love it. He is doing good in school. Angelina is getting excited cause she knows she will be starting school soon. It is unbelieveable that both of my babies will be in school. My school is going well. I am finally finished lataap!!! The kids are driving me crazy. They absolutely don't care and are not afraid if they pass or fail. I just don't get these kids
We did 3 parades this year, the kids had a blast. We were in a good spot so it was fun. We are going to have a busy week. The kids are spending the night with my family and going to the zoo with Joseph and Dana tomorrow. So tonight randy and i get date night, and tomorrow I get a Teresa day. Oh i am so excited, a day to myself, now that is something. I will probably not know what to do. Monday, we are taking a trip to Mobile. Randy's parents have moved there and we are going to check it all out and so the kids can see where their bikes went. Wednesday, Ella is going to come and play with the kids. So in between all of that who knows. I hate sitting around at home, so I am sure we wil be running the streets.

Let's see, where to start. I guess I will start with me. I am still losing weight, don't have an official update, but I am feeling good. I went to get blood work done yesterday, and I see my surgeon on February 17th for my 3 month checkup. It felt good today seeing people I haven't seen in awhile and they were telling me how good I looked. That is an awesome feeling. Also, the other day when I was in target i decided to try on pants, even though I don't buy my clothes there. I just wanted to see what i could get into. I tried on a pair that was one size smaller and they felt just as big as the ones I had on. I tried on a pair of pants that were two sizes smaller and there was still a little bit of room. So I am just about 3 sizes smaller when it comes to pants, and would probably be more if it weren't for the hernia. I have been feeling good except for yesterday and this morning, just not feeling good at all. But now, i am good.
We had a very full weekend. Friday I did my taxes!! YEAH, will have the refund in two weeks. That will be nice to do somethings with it that needs to be done. Yesterday Randy actually had off, so we left the house at 7 and didn't get home till 5. Ran all types of errands and visits and would you believe we never made it to the grocery. Today Randy had to work but I brought the kids to the parade, most of Randy's family went with us, Randy's mom was in the parade. The kids were SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo good. I am still amazed. We went to the park and they played, then I got them some food from Times, that was weird, I haven't stepped foot in that place in almost a year. They were just so good. I didn't get all the housework done or laundry but there is more to life than that sometimes.
I am an official Avon Rep. I completed my first campaign, and am currently delivering the first orders. I didn't do too bad for being my first time out. I am going to branch out more this time around to get more customers. But, I am excited about the potiental.
Update on Joseph. He is really doing good. I think we almost have the old Joseph back, it just feels so good to say that. He went to court Thursday and his attorney said it is all over!!!! What sweat words. Joseph has to go see him on Wednesday so I guess we will get more detail there. But, the attorney said there is absolutely no evidence. So hopefully he is able to move on.

Today is my two month surgery anniversary. I am feeling so awesome. I am able to eat chicken and fish, so I am getting more protein. I am fitting into more and more clothes that didn't fit or didn't fit right before. But, my pants are so so baggy. I have been researching abdominal binders. Last time I saw Dr. Warden he told me to get one to help hold in the hernia until we have surgery. So I have be cruising the internet and found some. And wouldn't you believe that they make special abdominal binders for people who have had bariatric surgery (that is what surgery I had) with hernia's. So I am going to be ordering that soon. The only thing is when I buy that I am going to have to buy pants. Becasuse the hernia is the ONLY thing holding up my pants at this point. So, I guess that is good. I have not weighed in almost 3 weeks, i gotta find a scale!!
I am now selling AVON!!! I met with the rep on Friday and got all set up with her. I am very excited. So if you like avon give me a holla and I will get you a book. I have spend the last two days organizing myself. I have shred a ton of paperwork I do not need, and cleaned out two file cabinets. So hopefully that will help me keep up with things.
We have had a busy weekend, getting stuff done. The kids got a hair cut today, i love when they are freshly cut.
Oh Randy hurt his hand last week. So it has been in a sling, he goes back to the dr on wednesday, hopefully he will be released then.

Goodness, it has been so busy I haven't had any time to type. School started back on Monday. It was slow moving to get not just myself and Jr, but my students back in routine. I am wearing old clothes that have either never been worn or never really fit well in the first place. So it is pretty much something new everyday. Everyone I work with has been so unbelieveably supportive. Encouraging me on how I look and wondering how much I have lost. So is just so exciting. This week was nothing new on the diet, although I did try rice a few days earlier than I am supposed too, but it sat well on my belly. Next week I can really start opening up my diet to anything low fat except for the ham, pork and beef. So I get to start having seafood, chicken and turkey. Wednesday is my 8 week anniversary. I can't believe it has been that long already. I went and bought new undies last night cause the others are pretty much falling off. I was actually able to walk into J C Penny and buy underware. I usually have to go to Lane Bryant or wal-mart. But to walk into pennies and buy underware is over whelming exciting. So,it will be nice to watch these get loose!!! I do think I will have to buy a new bra soon. I am on the very first inside set of loops, which has never been the case for me, and the cups of my bras have way too much air space. It is so weird to me, less and less boobies, but I am trying to deal.
Yesterday was a great day. The kids and I went early to my parents so they could play before it started to rain. Everyone was outside and just had a great time. The kids hung out with Joseph and James as they did things in the yard. The kids did not want to leave, but I had to bring granny home. We ended up meeting back up for dinner. It has been so long since we all went out to dinner together. We used to do it every saturday. And since everyone has been tight financially we just haven't gone. Well the kids ended up spending the night with my parents, which is so nice.. Before we went home we made a trip to the hospital to see Dana. They had her come in and admitted her. They are trying to find out what is really going on with her, and why she is in so much pain. I got to meet her mom. Wow, what a great first impression that was. She had already chewed on Joseph and Dana for not calling her sooner. Although, Joseph had texted her. And not to mention that she doesn't care anyways. I am the one that sat with her on Christmas eve at SMH. Her mom even complained while she was there saying she couldn't miss work (She deals poker at a casino) so Dana needed to get the tests this morning cause she had to be at work for 2. Well, because our family always has drama------ Dana's sister and mom and now hating on Joseph. They are saying that Joseph is running up Dana's medical bills and bringing her to the hospital for needless things. Then Her sister calls their father and says that she is worried that Joseph is going to abuse Dana cause of the difference in age. Here Joseph has been taking care of her and he is getting attacked. Dana's sister is an RN and do you think once she has offered to help Dana. Her mom doesn't give a damn, and doesn't want to be inconveniced.
This week is going to be so busy at school
I have 8 student conferences, two workshops. Not to mention a ton of other things. On Friday I am meeting with an Avon sales rep so I can start selling avon. I have to find a way to supplement the family income so hopefully this will be a little help.
