SAHM 10/18 to 1024

Checking in... Hope everyone is having a great day.

I have become addicted...addicted to string cheese! Mmmmm!

I am wanting to make chicken tacos tonight. I saw a recipe on here recently. How can I find it? Will going to "Search" bring up recipes?

I haven't exercised for days! Uuuggg! I really gotta exercise!

Pines~I have never looked through the recipes on here so I would not know. Sorry that I am of no help to you.

Stacey~Hope you have fun in Park City. You won't be that far from where I live. It is about a 45-60 min drive (depending on traffic and who is behind the wheel :laugh: ) Love when the hubby steps in and helps with the children too many times they don't think they should because that is the "woman's work". My BIL is that way with my sister drives me crazy. He would tell my sister that she needed to take their son with her every where until he was about 5 yo. Then here is my hubby has 7 children that he is taking care of pushing me out the door so that I can get some time away.

Well today I decided that I was going to weigh in. I tried to do a schedule weigh in never worked for me I kept forgetting on my "weigh in" day and would either remember the day before or after. I lost another 2 pounds. I am sure that most of it is from the stomach problems I have been having and not eating much due to nausea. I will take it though for what ever it is worth and hope that I don't gain it back. I now have 11 pounds to go to be at a normal BMI. I am pretty excited about that because when I started I was at "obese". Plus I haven't been that low since like my 2 child. I haven't been as low as I am now since before my 5 child so I am pretty excited about that too. Enough rambling :laugh: .....got to get going it is late and I got to get up early tomorrow.

Abbra~belated welcome to you! This is a wonderful group, because we do talk about the struggles and triumphs in our day-to-day lives that have nothing to do with weight loss. Sometimes that's something only other SAHMs can understand. And you guys don't mind so much when I babble...

KatieM~that's great that you are losing some weight! You must be so proud of yourself for getting closer to a normal BMI. Also, I am so happy to hear that the lump was not the 'big C'. Scary!!

Stacey~have fun on your girl's weekend! That is fantastic that your hubs is taking care of the kids so you can get a little down time. Props to Stacey's hubby! I am looking forward to the next 3 day weekend that The Man has, because he told me that one of those days is for me and he will let me have a day off. We'll see.

I have been kinda quiet on here (again), this time because it is ME that got injured. Now everyone except The Man is walking wounded around my house. I was baking cookies and grabbed a sheet pan that had just come out of the oven. 2nd degree burns on the first 3 fingers of my left hand. That'll teach me to bake cookies, right? :laugh: Seriously...they are feeling a lot better today, the Vicodin helps. The doctor gave me Vicodin, can you believe it?

Today I have got to get my Halloween costume and one for older daughter (nothing like waiting til the last minute, huh?), and do laundry. That's about it. Taking it easy today, maybe taking the kids to the pool at the gym tomorrow. My poor beat-up kids.

Abbra~We can all relate to those kinds of days! Many people that know me think I am NUTS because I have 7 children 9-1 yo (yes every last one of them is my child no apopting and no muliple births). Not planned that way but wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Plus during school hours I babysit two children for my friend. So during the day I have from 4 children all the way up to 7+ children (the plus is when they have a playdate over at my house). Like today I had a total of my 7 plus 5 more for about 30 min then 3 left and had the rest at my house for a few hours.

Home~OUCH! You got to be carful with those cookies sheets!:flowerforyou: I hope that it gets feeling better soon.

Barb~Have fun on you cancer walk. I hope the weather is good for you.

Tonight is date night got to love the time with the hubby! However we are not going to be able to go anywhere tonight at least not until probably really late. Oh well time with out kids is the key right? Well got to go the lil man is crying and wants his dinner plus he is lonely with out the kids buggin him. Have a great weekend.
