SAHM Week #2 10/13-10/19

Audry

Before I was a mom....

Okay here we go:

I went to college and earned my Associates Degree in Horse Production (a big title meaning I have a peice of paper that tells people I can stick my arm up a horses *bleep* and impregnat her <as grandpa calls it> :laugh: ) Then I followed my then fiance to Pre-Med school, where we got married and he changed his mind on work - moved back to old college town (where he grew up) and went to work for the County Treasurer as one of her Clerks - all in all I spent many hours in front of a computer dealing with farmers complaining about how much it cost to tag their vehicles and how high taxes are on their properties (even when thier fields didn't make anything the last harvest)!!! Then there was the drama with working in an office with 5 other women :grumble: I strongly suggest if you ever think about working with more than one other lady to not do it...drama drama drama...that causes a lot of stress of which caused me to eat and gain weight!!! (I'm a stress eater) So when I found out I was prego for the 2nd time I was so excited!!! I started a spread sheet to show my hubby how much we would be saving if I stayed home!!! It took him 8 months to agree with me!!! But the day my 2nd little girl was born was my last day of work!!! And about 2 months after I quit work (about the same time all my vacation pay was up)my hubby got a promotion at the bank!!! He is now making more than we were together, so I won't have to go back to work if I don't want to when the kiddos are older!!!

Now along with being a SAHM I also sale Avon so I have something to do when the girls are sleeping

Can I get in on this? I stay at home with my two kids - Jonah age 4 and Maeryn age 5 months. I'm totally up for the H2O challenge because I SUCK at meeting the water requirements. Let's do it!

Welcome to the group!

Woo! I hit 30#! WOO! :happy: I feel better now...it's out of my system. LOL Tomorrow, I might wake up & weigh in & I'll be behind the 30# mark again (who knows with my body), but for today, I can say, "I've lost 30#!" YAY!

My dh is home from work today on a "sanity" day so I'm sure I won't get all my exercise in. Just how it works. When he's home, I can either get my walk in or my TJ in, but not often both. Plus, the kids are still all snotty, so that's been fun. We have our church family directory pic tonight & family pics tomorrow that I schedule about 6 weeks ago. I'm not one for the camera myself, but I love having pics of my kids.

Audry - that's a fabulous degree you have there! That's even more entertaining to explain to people than my friend that went to school to be a chicken scientist. LOL She is literally getting her PhD is poultry science...what she's planning on doing with that degree, I'll never know. Oh! And I SO know the drama of working with women. I worked in a nursing home & a hospital with a bunch of aids & nurses...the GOSSIP! I swear. Some women thrive on it.


Happy Friday, ladies! I hope everyone has a lovely day! Bottoms up on those water jugs!

One small task down. Just got TJ'ing...while my husband slept on the couch 2 feet behind me. :grumble: At least since he's home, I got a big batch of baby food made...yes, I make my own baby food.

So, how did we all do with our water this week? I did...okay...I over did it the one day & paid for it by peeing constantly so I slowed down the past couple days. The extra 10 min.? forget about it. I added about 5 min. to my walk a couple days, but I just didn't accomplish it this time around.

Off to clean something somewhere.

3BB congrats on hitting 30#!!! That's so awesome! I will be glad to hit 20 one of these days! Right now I seem to be going in the opposite direction.
Oh and I worked with 5 women in a small office room for about 9 months. I finally walked out because the hormones were so bad!
I didn't do so great on my water this week and I didn't get to add ten minutes every time I exercised either. I think I only worked out once this week! I was busy but not with an actual work out. It seems my girly has started. I crave a lot during that time but rarely am I ever starving like I have been the last few days! I pigged out at dinner tonight and I don't regret it...just yet. I'll get back on the wagon in the morning.
On the bright side my jeans were a little loose coming out of the dryer....not after eating tonight though. :laugh:

MM - I about died when you said your "girly started" LMBO that just struck me funny...but I'm sorry that it did start. But hey, dryer fresh jeans being looser is always awesome! :happy:

Perhaps we should carry the water challenge over to next week as well?

Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!

Yes, let's carry on the water challenge. I need it!
Still not sure if my girly is going to stay or not. It's been acting weird since I miscarried. I'm getting tired of it!
Where's everyone else?

New week!
