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.

WOW, I cant believe it is 2009! 08 went by way too fast. There is already a lot going on this year, so it will be a busy one. It has already started out crappy though. I haven't really felt too well the past two days, just nauseated and tired. Last night on the way home Randy ran into a christmas tree that was in the middle of the interstate. It gouged my front bumper and scratched the side of the car, that totally pissed me off, just can't have nothing.

This year Randy and I will be celebrating 10 years of marriage. Jr will be 6 Nana will be 4. Jr will go to 1st grade and Angelina will start pre-k. I will continue to lose weight and maybe by the summer get the hernia fixed. We are supposed to go on vacation with randy's family, but that may turn into a wedding. New Kids on the Block are coming back around and I pray I get to go again. Hopefully all the stuff with Joseph will come to a close. There is so much to look forward too, hopefully it will be good with NO drama.
