Disgusting,Absolutely Disgusting! On My computer clock as I type it is 4:10..That would be AM. YUCK!

To what do I owe this pleasure of being awake at this awful hour? Sickness. When we went away on vacation one week ago we left Thursday night. We got to the Bible Conference and set up camp. Yes we took the three kids tent camping and had a blast. The kids did great despite the fact they woke up Friday morning with three runny noses. I was told by the nursery workers that a near by farm had just mowed three fields of hay. Ding Ding..Allergies. Anyway by Friday they had coughs that left a lot to be desired!

I was having trouble with my hay fever a bit but it was nothing outside the norm, that is until Tuesday morning when I woke up not feeling up to snuff! Boy did that spiral downwards fast!

This thing is like half cold and half flu. Complete with fever/chills! Not bad ones..just enough to make you miserable! Poor tornado though he coughs so hard he makes himself sick!

So back to the reason for this post. It is just after 4 am and I DO NOT want to be awake.. I took Day Quil when I went to bed.. Yes that sounds stupid but I have a really good reason. NyQuil knocks me out for a day and a half, and makes me so loopy and out of it so as a mom and a wife that just isn’t possible (or safe)! So I take Day Quil and it knocks me out too. Only just not as long and I am not half as loopy;) That is until i am on the mend….and there is no way of knowing that Until I hit a n almost sleepless night!So TaDa I must be on the mend.

Which I am sure everyone including my house will be very grateful for!

Today hubby and I made a small step together closer to a goal we set last week. This goal id for hubby to loose about 20 pounds and for me to loose about 35 pounds. This last pregnancy really did me in.

We weigh ourselves once a week. Mondays to be exact. We don’t want to be slaves to the scale. We are exercising 3 to 5 days a week and we are watching what we eat. Calories and portions as a matter of fact.

I must confess that I have had some not so healthy “dieting” practices in the past. The one being I skipped meals. I had real problems with my blood sugar plummeting! So I would eat in be tween meals to compensate and I would not pick healthy alternatives!! You guessed I wasn’t losing anything and in fact gained 10 pounds!

Then I heard a startling statistic that really hit home! %0 percent of all women who sip breakfast everyday are overweight….ding ding ding you guessed it . That was me. I was so hungry by mid morning I was searching for something, anything that would give me more energy..especially sugar!

So after one week of being consistent in watching what we eat, and exercising 3to 5 times a week Both hubby and I have lost 2 pounds. that’s within the safe range of weight loss recommended by doctors. We have had so much fun exercising. We have each picked something we enjoy and then we share walking together and the kids too! Hubby is Running and I am riding my bike about 2 to 3 miles every other day. Along with Pilates and yoga for Toning…and yes I have time with 3 kids 3 and under!

I once thought that p[laying with my kids and doing housework was enough but now I am seeing actual results. Please pray for us as we choose to live a more healthy life style. We want to be able to have healthy minds and bodies for many years to come!

Yep that’s right we are leaving our home once again, but this time it is purely for fun! We leave tonight for a Bible conference near where we live! And boy are we all excited. Right down to Tornado who refused to go to bed because he wanted to help daddy pack the Ford truck and when all was packed he looked up at daddy and stated, “Otay me doh det in my seat and you drive to….’ The place shall remain unstated but the pronunciation was to say the least hilarious! All of that happened at 11 PM!!

Oh if you knew Tornado!

How many girls can brag that “Tim McGraw rescued me from a potentially dangerous situation” Here’s the story that was posted on a local news website!

McGraw Gets Violent With Rowdy Fan At Concert The country singer threatened to punch a man who was harassing a woman in the audience at a concert. Wednesday, June 25, 2008 Country music star Tim McGraw rescued a female fan at a concert on Tuesday by dragging an overzealous man onstage and threatening to to punch him. The “Indian Outlaw” hitmaker was performing a concert in Auburn, Washington when he spotted a male fan harassing a woman in the audience. And McGraw didn’t hesitate to come to the woman’s defense – pulling the man onto the stage and threatening to hit him before security escorted him off the premises and turned him over to police. A spokesperson for McGraw says, “While Tim was performing at the White River Amphitheater in Auburn, Washington last night, he watched a man rush to the front of the stage. This overly aggressive fan attacked a female fan and Tim witnessed this incident. Tim called for security, but when they could not respond quick enough, Tim and several crew members removed the fan from the audience where he was then turned over to the local authorities.” Check out the video: Photo Copyright Getty Images Copyright World Entertainment News Network 2008

Now how’s that for bragging rights. I am so thankful that there are at least a few guys that will stand up for a girl who is being pushed around or harassed! I am also thankful that I am married to one of those guys!

I can’t type! Or at least I couldn’t until I found this site and I have learned in 3 days. I have completed 3 out of 4 levels and I am typing kind of slow but speed will come with time. I have typed this without looking! That is a huge deal for me!!
