SAHM 6/7 - 6/13

Jessica - Yay on losing the pounds! I love your signature....I may have to steal that to describe my little ones!

Princess - I am so glad your daughter is doing okay! I've been praying for you and your daughter! It's always so nice to have a supportive church to help you through hard times.

I have successfully waged war on our backyard. Since I have been doing everything around the house and all the landscaping in the front yard I was leaving the back to my hubby. But it was soooooooooo over run by weeds as tall as a person I could stand it no longer. So yesterday and today I seized the luck that the weather was under triple digits and pulled ALL the weeds in the back yard! All thats left is to take the weed whacker to the tall grass, trim the bushes and it will look so much better! Burned a ton of calories in the process. My hope is to get it under control and looking well trimmed and then over the winter start slowly adding to it and making it my own little haven. DD1 is feeling much better now, thank you for all the well wishes!

I lost about 3 pounds this week so I'm stoked! Hopefully I will see this trend continue!

Have a great weekend!

Well done Valerie!!!! A fantastic loss!

Its funny that you are happier when the weather is cooler, and over here we are wishing the weather would warm up a bit!

hi girls! thanks for all the well wishes--and many right back out to you! surgery....wt losses....new glasses...lump that is nothing serious....gardening...you all are making great strides!

we've gotten a lot unpacked and organized. still lots to do, but the list is much smaller. have also gotten in school time for the little ones. the boy has much lower concentration than i realized. but his realistic drawing (using a dry erase board) has skyrocketed in execution. so interesting to see what's developing when.
also....my dd1 is SO MUCH better. we changed her medication, and WOW. we have OUR GIRL back. she's been buried under the illness for so long....well, let's just say i am so grateful --as we say boruch hashem (blessed be g-d).

also grateful that dh is home this weekend. and the kids are glad to have daddy around too.

so all is well. and glad that all of you are making such progress! will chk back later!

Princess~Glad the daughter is doing better.

Valerie~Way to go on the weight loss and the weeding. Your situation with yard work is so much like mine. I too had been hoping that the hubby would help out in the yard and had been leaving certain things to him but it didn't get done. So now I have to play catch up. The weeds aren't quite as tall as a person but the unwanted trees are popping up every where in the backyard and we need to get them under control.

Stacey~Way to go on the unpacking that is a chore I always hate doing. Been living in the same place now for 3 1/2 yrs and there are some things that are still in boxes. Glad to hear that your daughter is doing better.

Well as for me I have had a icky weekend with bits of good mixed in. It is my TOM. The first few days are awful! :grumble: Today I went to church we walked (it's not that far). By the time that we got there I could tell it was time for a new and I didn't bring any (stupid on my part) so the hubby had to go back for me! Needless to say it was not a very great time for me at church. But on the good part my oldest daughter is getting better at riding without training wheels and is begging to go on a family bike ride. Also the hubby will be starting his new job soon! YAY!!!

Good morning!

Princess - I'm sorry to hear your dd needed surgery, but I'm glad she's OK now.

KatieM - Ugh! I can feel your pain on TOM yesterday.

Stacey - Glad to hear the unpacking is going well!

Friday evening I went running and actually ran 200 feet further! I calculated it out that I ran 0.28 of a mile! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I'm getting there! I'm already making plans that if the kids can get up early enough and ride their scooters or (if they're good enough on them) their bikes to school with Tony. Then I can run to school to pick them up, and then be able to run at least part of the way back with them.

I don't think I'm going to get much running in this week. We have Vacation Bible School at our church this week, and I'm the Director. So I need to be the 1st one here and the last one to leave. It's a fun one though. High Seas Expedition. Last night was the first night.
