Manic Monday...

Just another Manic Monday for this momma. I've been working over time and long hours. Sucks, sucks, sucks. To top it all of I have to go in for an early meeting tomorrow.
Well, on another topic I got to try out my HYLA vacuum today. Chris got it from the pawn shop and it has been sitting in our garage for about 2 years. The only instruction manual that I could find is in German. Sure, there were lots of informational videos, but nothing showing me how to use it. I decided to wing it, and I'm glad that I did. I vacuum with a Kirby Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. After using this vacuum I looked in the water and it looked like I hadn't vacuumed in YEARS. Yucky!
So, I better start/continue my cleaning so that i can go to bed and get up early. I am SO ready for a vacation. Until next time, God bless.

Yippee!

Go me! Okay. I know that it's been awhile since I've blogged and I'm sorry. Here it goes. The last few days I've been sick. I've had to drag my but into work since we're short handed and not allowed to call in. Fun stuff I know. So I'm at work making it through the days and each day starting to feel a little bit better. Until,...ta-da! I think I've finally kicked whatever it is that I've had for the past week and a half.
Go me. Claire had it first, then I got it and now it's daddy's turn. Poor daddy (not my daddy, Claire's daddy). I called him this afternoon to find something out and he sounded HORRIBLE. Came home and he was in bed with Claire watching TV. He was so ready to go to bed. I tried to get him to call in, but he has a strong, strong work ethic. He's the kind of person who has to be physically not able to work before he'll call in.
Okay, so yesterday was my weight watchers meeting. I went on my lunch break so that I wouldn't have to go after work. I stepped on the scales.....I lost 1.5 pounds! I was so excited. Of course today I used some weekend points up. (That's what I call them anyways.) I just have to buckle down then next few days. So, until next time, God bless.

I smell.....BACON!

I'd like to share my Snapfish photos with you. Once you have checked out my photos you can order prints and upload your own photos to share.

Today was a pretty decent day. I had to get up and hour earlier than usual in order to go to a meeting at work. I woke Claire up, as soon as I opened up the door to her bedroom the smell waive came rolling over me. My poor baby had some sort of stomach bug and had a runny diaper. So I got her cleaned up, and dropped her off in her pajamas and off I went. Missing my cuddle bug the whole way.
Got to work and had my meeting. blah, blah, blah. Went through the work day without a hitch. Got off early to go to a doctors appointment (yearly woman's thing...UGH!). Came home and had a snack....BACON! I LOVE me some bacon, extra crispy. I really need to find a healthier snack. Needless to say, my diet hasn't "officially" started yet.
I have my first weight watchers meeting Saturday. I had earned my lifetime membership about four years ago, got pregnant, and, well...don't have it anymore. On the upside, I got on the scale today at the doctors office and it showed that I had lost 4 pounds! Go me!
I've decided that I want to become healthy not only for me, but for my family. I want to be able to play with Claire for years and years to come. (And if I don't take care of myself that won't be possible.) She was in such a good mood today when I got home. All of us in bed playing. She would grab Chris's chin and then my chin and make us kiss....so sweet. It just got me thinking about our family and the future. Anyways, I'm rambling...so, until next time, God bless.
