Had the baby's check up. She is HUGE. She is all done with the infant car seat now. She is over the weight limit on it. Good thing I already ordered a new one for K. That one arrived today. It is awesome. It will be in my car tommorrow and K's will go in the SUV for O.
Did my 2nd round of volunteering with the Radio Auction. I hope to be more involved with it next year.
I jokingly (well kind of) told Hubby I would like to run for City Council next year. There are things in this community that need to be addressed and I think they need some new (and younger) blood on the council. There are not a lot of things for teens to do in this town. Lord knows that I know that, well used to, I am far from a teen anymore but I still get them, somewhat. As a young(er) adult, I see job opportunites leaving, although some are coming. There is a need for change there. Don't get me wrong. This is a great town and I love living here but I would like to shake things up a bit. The representative for my district is just a little older than me and is very popular so I think I would run as council member at large rather than for my district. Hubby told me to think about it more and if I decide to he will back me completely on it. He thinks they need more female influence on the council as well. I have thought of doing this before but never had the opportunity because of my work schedule. I could never attend meetings.

a new pet project...
So because it will be at least a month yet before we can get out for any real fun outdoor activities, I have come up with a new project. We are getting ready for a garage sale. Yep already. I started today. I have started going through the house and have already cleaned out one room (the laundry/junk room) and started on the kitchen. I am piling boxes of stuff in my bedroom and going through and pricing as time permits. I have been sorting out clothes as the kids outgrow them so that will be the easiest part. The other stuff, such as decorations, kitchen stuff, etc will take some time but the last garage sale we had we made over $200. Also starting now gives me a chance to put stuff away that I want to sell and see if I will actually need it or use it by May.
Monthly Check in time...
How did I do?
~drink more water, less diet cola ( I am a diet cola junkie! )
I have done pretty good on this. I don't always meet my goal but I do alright
~work out a minimum of 3 times a week
I did really well in the beginning but have slacked off some as of late. I will be doing better on this next month
~lose 5 lbs by the end of the month
I will know this tommorrow
~start journaling my food every day, every bite
I did well at the beginning but I stopped doing this because I am doing fine with me eating habits ~plan ahead for lunches better ( I do awesome with dinner but lunch is whatever I feel like at the time) I am doing really well on this.
~Eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. basically eat every 3-4 hours. Well I have been eating 3 meals a day but not always eating the 2 snacks.

Will it EVER end?
Said Family member is causing trouble again. Said family member called my hubby last night and said he needs part of K's money back for "taxes". If we give him back what he said he is probably going to need, her inheritance will be "taxed" at almost 65%. Does he really think I am that stupid? There is no way there is that much tax on it.
I am so done with all of this. I have been thinking. The mean streak in me is pretty active today and last night. I was thinking I should take out what he wants all in quarters and throw the rolls of quarters at him. If I throw them hard enough, they could leave some nice bruises. A$$hole. Anyway I called him back after he talked to hubby and we are discussing it this weekend, Sunday to be exact. And if he thinks he is ripping us off, he can think again. I am about to the point of just telling him to leave me and my children alone. Don't buy my kids any gifts with your stolen money, just forget we exist. Don't call, don't send cards. Just stay away from us. I have seriously had it with everything and just want it to go away. If hubby still wants contact with him fine, and the kids can too if Hubby wants to take them both to visit but I want nothing do with them. My stress level is that high right now. All over some money that my child could do without. She is not any worse without it.
A side note on that, Hubby is such a softie at times. So much of a softie that he ordered almost $200 in parts for said family member. I am not really pissed that he wanted to help out but I am pissed about the amount of money he spent without getting some of it up front. I informed hubby last night that under no circumstances will said family member get those parts without us getting the money first.

more donating
K and I baked some brownies today and watched them being auctioned. They went for $11. Wow I am impressed.
We donated a bath set and it is currently being auctioned. It sold for $7. We donated some onesies as well. I have not seen them sold yet. It is kind of fun to watch my stuff on TV. LOL

I had a blast
I had so much fun volunteering tonight. So much fun, that I volunteered for a 2nd night, Friday night and I talked my brother into working Friday night too. LOL. Can't wait.
been doing some thinking
I have been thinking a bit today about what I was told when I was asked to volunteer today. My old Pysch teach from college told me that volunteering looks really good on the resume. She is the one that convinced me to work tonight for the Radio Auction.
I had been thinking about finding something I could volunteer for. I want to keep my job skills current and I think if I found the right volunteering opportunity that could happen. So I am going to talk to hubby a bit about it tonight and start looking for a volunteering opportunity that will work with my schedule.

I'm going to be on TV tonight
On our local station. I volunteered to showcase items up for auction for the United Fund. LOL. I am the new Vanna White. So that is what I am doing with my me time this week.
It feels soooo good
Our local United Fund auction is going on. Last night I bid on and won some towels. My family usually donates something but ALWAYS buys something. So last night I ran around the house trying to find something to donate. I ended up coming up with a $10 restaurant gift card and a new bath and body works gift set. Total Value of $40 for everything.
I like donating to this organization because they help alot of charities in our area. Rather than donating $5-$10 here and there. I like to make a bigger donation to one agency. I took the girls down to the donation center and let K turn in our donations. She was so pleased with herself. The ladies accepting donations were so nice to her. They were telling her how nice she was to donate, etc. She was grinning from ear to ear.
So tonight and this afternoon I will be watching the auctions to see how much they go for.

weekends off
I am starting a new phase of my weight loss. I am calling it "weekends off". During the week, I will continue to count calories and exercise but I am taking weekends off. If I feel like exercising fine, but I do not have to, most likely I still will because it has become such a big part of my routine. Because my stomach cannot hold as much food, I just watch myself and when I start to feel full, I quit eating. I have found that I tend to eat less most weekends, when I am not counting calories because I am not obsessing over food. So anyway I am trying it and seeing if it works out.
I AM A B*TCH
and I am not afraid to admit it. When someone is trying to screw over my immediate family, the mama bear in me comes out and I am not afraid to show my teeth and take a giant bite, so to speak. I did just that last week and I got results, the results I wanted.
Said family member, mentioned in previous posts, actually gave my daughter part of her inheritance this weekend, a little more than 1/2 of it. Hubby says we probably won't see the rest and I agree but at least we got some of it. I had to be a total b*tch to get it but we got it. Quite honestly, I don't give a flying f*#$ what that side of the family, or anyone else for that matter, thinks of me. Said family member was trying to mess with my daughter and her future and I will NOT tolerate that. My mama bear instincts will not allow for me to sit back and knowingly take a kick in the a$$. Said family member's wife was not exactly happy about it but too freaking bad.
