no more pajamas

OH GOSH you may be thinking! no I am not naked! I just don't need to lounge in my jammies anymore! my secret???
Weight watchers! I joined Dec 9th and have lost 30lbs since. I feel great and wear all my jeans with comfort now. especially since they are all too big for me :-)
yeah for weight watchers! and my very special friend Robin-She's the reason I joined!
that's all for now

Time Change

well it's been awhile since I've wrote on here but I've been trying to catch up on sleep and housework. Unfortunately, with the time change in effect yesterday was pretty hard on all of us. Dex was just crazy, needing a nap by 10am and fighting it. Cleese slept a lot but Dex was the one who should have. He didn't go straight to bed either, he was up and running around for an hour after lights out then bright and early up at 4:59am...i put him back in his bed 4 times and gave up at 5:42am. Meanwhile Cleese was still sleeping. there's something wrong when everyone in the house is awake before the baby!!!
have a very busy 2 weeks coming up between dr's appts, needles, and birthdays to plan for (hubby's and step-mother in law's) also xmas, my mom's retiring Dec. 31st, among other things like getting Dex to sleep longer, starting Cleese on solids, trying to loose weight (if I could sleep well at night maybe I'd be more motivated...nahh!), deciding on a hair cut, start my xmas baking and making xmas cards, taking a xmas pic of the boys for the cards...a mother's work load is never lightened!
*yawn*

child locking the baby's door

well I guess today was the last straw, after fighting with the baby for almost an hour then finally getting him to sleep about an hour after that Dex decides to go in and wake him up, "because he wanted to say HI to him" well there goes mommy's little break. thank god for our rain forest swing and Thomas the train, they are doing good at keeping him quietly entertained. Thomas the train gets extra credit for keeping both boys "quiet". so is it wrong that I want to put one of those door knob childproof locks on the baby's bedroom door...I guess we'll see!

can't believe I haven't been here in so long...

things have been hectic and my days seem to disappear right before my eyes....My youngest son is now 24 weeks and starting solids and it's been a whirlwind and a blast! That kids was meant to EAT! Dex had an awesome playdate last Wednesday and I got together with the girls Friday night to scrapbook, sooo much fun! Some good tunes, yummy snacks and white Russians! now that the new week is started lets see what it'll bring, today the sun's shinning so maybe we'll escape for awhile. BTW, started watching a mini series last night called Dead Set, it was aired in 2008. It's about a zombie outbreak and how the people from "Big brother" are secluded and don't know what's going on until a page makes her way into the house. only done the 3 episodes out of 5 but so far I'm really enjoying it!

Hand me downs

well, Saturday was my day...I got 4 boxes of hand me downs from my husbands aunt and out of those 4 boxes at least 2 of them were pajamas! yah! I officially have enough pj's that I could wear only jammies for the rest of the year and probably not wear a duplicate. :-)

awake sooo early!

well my 2.5 year old thought it was ok to get up this morning at about 5:15am. NOT OK! Would have been if he'd gone downstairs into the playroom and played but instead he went to the playroom and yelled for me to come play. UGGG! I was having such a good sleep too! luckily he didn't wake the baby so I got up to put "Elmo in grouchland" on for him and for me to drift off to sleep on the couch. until 7am when the baby woke up. not so bad but I'm sure by 10:30 I'm going to be needing a nap along with my 2 yr old. we've tried a few things but so far nothing is working. I've told him when the sun comes up he can get out of bed (no good, we bought a baby gate to put across his door but when he wakes up opens his door and sees the gate he screams and cries (definitely not good). I've offered to put an alarm clock in his room but then he thinks it's like a time out...I dunno what to do anymore!?! next on the list maybe "spiking" his cup of milk at bedtime! ;-) (as if).

movie night

well it was 8:30 pm both boys were in bed without a fight and I was ready to chillax...sooo I poured myself a tall glass of pepsi and a bowl or tostitos and homemade salsa, opened my firefox and went to my new vice:netflix. The movies aren't the best but they numb this mommy's brain. I watched "flight of the dead" and "strangers with candy", hubby made me a Caesar and then the internet broke. lol! I had 25 mins left of strangers with candy, I'll just finish it later. The boys slept decently last night and I got some sleep too! soon (maybe) I'll get a full night's sleep!?!?
