I got caught in a blog warp. A cycle of procrastination, and then guilt and finally appathy. I hate that too.. because I love my blog and really really enjoy reading past entries. SO I am rebooting my blog.

restart.

The main reason I got stuck was the fact that so much had happened since I last blogged that I was dreading the monster huge post Id have to make in order to catch everyone up on life and whatever… so Im not doing it. You get bullets.

*job* Ugh. long stupid story. I am currently unemployed. When last we “spoke”  I was enjoying a new job.. but did not feel very stable. Good reason for it. Days after that post was made, I was laid off.. well told that “I cant afford your salary” nice right?  Sure.. quit your sucky but totally stable job to come work for me.. but wait, I cant afford you after all. My boss closed the place for a few days.. let the staff all go and then re-opened running the whole place by herself.. I havent been back in. whatever Steven and I decided that I would spend the summer with the Things. Chill out. Read books, go to summer camp, lay out by the pool. Cut the grass.. cook out, do volunteer work. play. YAY. I didnt know if I would like it.. But so far? I am liking being home again.  In the fall I plan to get registered to be a substitute teacher. That could be fun right?

*kids**. The Things are good.  Both are playing ball still. T1’s season finally got underway. She is loving it. She blossoms on the field. I love seeing her become more and more sure of herself and really enjoy being athletic. SO fun. T2  is still slogging through her season. They arent winning that often, but still are having a good time. If anything she is getting a lot of fluids drinking all that gaterade! lol They finally finished all of thier testing at school (it gets out on June 4!) and its party down time now. I cant believe they are both graduating up this year! My babies arent babies any more. T1 will go to HIGH SCHOOL this fall. It makes me sad, yet excited at the same time. T2 will move from the primary school that we love love love to the elementary school that looks like a prison. I hated it when T1 was there and I dread my baby going there. But there isnt any choice in the matter. The private schools in the area arent an option and there arent any other public ones. boo. I guess we just gotta work through it.

**weight watchers** We started back. Steven and Jasmin of course are doing awesome.. for the most part. I am sticking to it pretty well. I cheat sometimes. Then feel guilty for cheating.. then stick to it religiously for a few days and then cheat again. Church meals are KILLING us this time. It seems like there have been a huge amount of potluck church dinners lately. and how do you deal with a buffet of homecooking? YIKES. We may have to resort to either just not attending, or eating before we go and bringing a big bowl of fruit and ONLY eating that. Its a struggle for sure…but I feel like maybe this time at home might be my chance to concentrate on weight loss so we can get pregnant. 

**Steven’s Health** Steve-o is doing pretty well. He has “episodes” where his tummy hurts and he has to work to eat right. WW is really helping that. . We go back to the dr 6-18.. so I am anxious to see what he will say about the “episodes”.

sooo thats us.. and now Im picking up and plan to blog every day again. I miss it. .. and you. Let me know if you are out there. De-lurk and let me know you are reading. Id love to hear from you!
