Jeans

I am so excited to say that I have dropped a jean size. I tried on some jeans the other night at the store and I can fit in a smaller size. I'm so proud of myself. I never thought that I would ever get to this point. It's not a whole lot to some, but a lot to me. I love walking and not having the leg rub thing going on lol. If I keep this up, I'm going to be back where I was several years ago, before having April and what not. It feels great. It's not just about the pounds it's about the inches also. I have more energy it seems. I feel like I can keep going sometimes.

I'm so proud of myself also... I got my savings account back open. It's a great feeling to know that it's something that will hopefully help out with saving. We're hoping the phone call comes tomorrow for Jason and his start date. He did the drug test last week so we're hoping he starts soon. It feels so great also that I'm back working and making money. It feels great. It feels good to get out of the house and go do something that I'm good at. We've discussed things and we've set a certain amount that comes out of pay checks and into savings. It's for things later on. We're gonna stick to it too.

We made our second pumpkin pie today. So good. It tastes better I think than store bought pie. Plus it was fun making it. I've never really baked a pumkin before, but it was fun baking it and scooping out all the guts. It's something that we'll do again for sure.

Work is going good. I got bit today by a dog. Nothing serious. Hurt super bad though. He didn't break the skin but it was enough to leave a nasty bruise. I'm enjoying all the walking that I get in everyday.

Well that's about it for now. I'm tired.

Watermelon seeds

So... I'm sitting here watching April make a mess of her watermelon which she loves so very much. This child would eat it all day long if you let her. Jason is on his way to his job interview for a new store. I hope that he gets it. That would be awesome. This way he can be home and watch his little girl grow up and miss anymore time with her. April is a hoot I swear. She's got this new laugh that is hilarious. She's talking more. She's trying to form sentences. She said hello and that's better today. She's becoming more independent. She wants to do everything by herself. She knows the words No, and Sit down and Come here. Majority of the time she listens to you when you tell her no. It's nice. But I'm sure it won't last lol.

I can't wait until I get paid. This is a nice pay period for me. It's not a whole lot, but it all counts and helps out. If Jason gets this job, we'll be bringing in more then when he was on the road. We are both trying to lose some weight and get in a little better shape. It helps me out now that Jason is trying too. I've lost a total of 12 pounds. I tried on some shorts that my friend gave me that are a size smaller then I wear and they fit. My swim suit from two years ago is too big in the bottoms so I have to buy new bottoms for next year. My winter coats fit great. The pair of jeans that I just bought a few weeks back are too big now. It feels so good. I haven't been at this weight in over two years. I'm able to wear shirts now that aren't as long lol. My stomach is going back to normal size that's for sure. I can't even dream eating as much as I use to. It makes me kinda sick when I think about it, and it makes me sick when I eat more than what I've gotten use too. Since I've started losing the weight I've noticed that my acid reflux has gotten much better. My knees don't hurt nearly as bad as they used to, and I have more energy.

Saturday is going to be crazy. Helping our friend Jeff move. Well, I'll be helping by watching the kids and Jason will be helping moving lol. I'm going to try to do what I can. His oldest daughter who's 4, acts older when April is around. It's cute. She tries to take care of her. So she'll be a help too. Saturday is my only off day until who knows when. I was asked if I wanted to work it to cover a shift for some one but I already told Jeff we'd help plus I really would like a break in a ten day work period... I don't have next months schedule yet but I work everyday next week till it ends which is Wednesday so I imagine I'll be working thursday and on too. But anyways, back to Saturday...Now they are calling for rain apparently... I so hope it doesn't rain. That is going to suck. Well, time to get some stuff done...

So much stuff....

I don't even know where to start....

This past weekend was a blast. We were baby free thanks to my mom and sisters. We headed to Jeff's on Saturday and hung out during the yard sale. We had a great cook out and had a blast. We played corn hole and passed the football around. Amber and I kicked the soccer ball around once we were feeling pretty good lol. It was fun. We had a nice little fire and music to listen too. It was a blast. I enjoyed watching a certain somebody named Jeff fall and disappear into the grass lol. Good times.

Sunday after we packed everything up and headed out we came back to the house and Jason laid around in bed for a bit while I went through Aprils clothes. I have a bag that she has outgrown that need to go to the goodwill. I went and put her new clothes away that my grandma got her. She's still in 18 month clothes but her sleepers are starting to become to short lol. We ventured over to Chris's for awhile before we had to head up to meet my mom.

This weekend Jason and I tried something new. We wanted pumpkin pie. So we took the adventure of making it home made. Not just from can home made but from the real pumpkin. So we headed to Shaw's Farm and bought two little pumpkins. Pumpkin pie us easy to make really. The fun part was baking the pumpkins and scooping the pulp out. It was fun. I think the pie turned out really good especially for the first time. It was a little moist but that I think had to do with the cream. So, yeah we still have pumpkin pie mix left over and it's enough for like 5 more pies lol.

April is now talking more. Like trying to form sentences with her baby talk. She said get up to my sister the other day. She knows what it means when I tell her to sit down. She knows the word no. She's growing up I tell you. She climbs up and sits at the kitchen table in the chair. She kicks the soccer ball with daddy.

October the 11th we're going to Kings Island with my mom and my sisters and I can't wait. It's gonna be fun. I love roller coasters and I could spend all day riding them. It is gonna be fun...

Oh there is so much more to add... but I'm not in the bloggin mood anymore... gotta feed April her nuggets and put her down for a nap...

My poor car

.

Ok....So my car is so broken.. First I need a new transmission. Well the things is the warrenty company says that they won't cover anything that has to do with the transmission....Well according to my warranty plan they should....So when this happened two months ago they should have covered it but they didn't and I had to pay for it. So...this time around we're fighting...They should cover it...They should cover it and I should also be reinbursed for what I paid last time this happened....They have no right to screw me around like that. I know that it's their way of doing buisness but still. I'm paying for them to help pay for my car when it's broken and when it is broken they won't cover it? I don't think so.

Let's just leave it at that.

I don't want to be coy,
But to say what I'm about to do
Would not be cool.
Let's just leave it at that.

If the world is black, it's black,
Whether you complain
Or collaborate by silence.

Even if people liked me,
I wouldn't like them.
I would just have to watch them
Being mean to people
And not say anything.
Because to say anything
Would not be cool.
Let's just leave it at that.

You're not going to change the world,
Whether you complain
Or collaborate by silence.

I travel often to the frozen heart of the world,
Inland to that Antarctic, rock-strewn desert
With a few dozen warm-blooded penguins wandering around
Lost, dazed, dejected.
That's the way things are deep down under.

I'm never going to change things,
Whether I complain
Or collaborate by silence.

Been awhile here... I gotta think about what has been going on. This morning Jason headed out again. It's the time that I hate, but I know he must do it... He'll be back soon... I'm hoping that he gets a job close to home. I'm glad that he made it home in time for this past weekend. Yesterday wasn't much fun except that I had to work and then we went over and hung out and Chris's with Jeff for awhile. Sunday we all went down to the river and watched the fire works. It was fun. April had a blast. She didn't get upset, or cry or even startled over the sounds or the lights. She laid on my tummy and watched the whole thing just about. Jason ended up swimming out to Chris's boat to get a beer from the shore. He came back soaking wet... Saturday we ended up at Chris's house till after 12 I think by the fire. April ended up crashing in my arms. We were the last ones there... it was cool getting to meet new people that I've heard about but I have never known who they are... it was cool. Good times. Jason came home earlier that day. We ended up getting tags for the trailer finally. Did some stuff with that. Friday I worked... I worked the whole week... last weekend was April and mine weekend... we went to the Cincinnati Nature Center, and to Woodland Mounds on Saturday... and then we did Sharon Woods on Sunday. I trimmed April's hair today. It was down in her eyes. I just snipped it a little. Well that is about it for now... I have more but I don't feel like it.. i feel like being lazy on my birthday for a bit lol.
