Hello everyone,
slept so well but still up early for a weekend(around 5:30 but had almost 8 hrs sleep so not complaining. going to be real cold up here today, so will do strider. Looks like I'm watching the game by myself . so may do some strider before I go the basketball game then during the game.

Going to allow a piece a pizza @ the games today might not be able to eat ahead of time, can't eat in the stands either.

Nikki- glad you're satisfied w/ how the house looks.
Sue- hope the move went well.
Anna- may the best team win!!!

take care everyone
Lizzy

Good morning everyone.

Lizzy I am up early right along with you. I am cursed with being a morning person.

I have had a crazy week.....between figuring out the New House situation....and work...there hasnt' been much time for anything else.

I do have big news. I MADE LIFETIME at WW yesterday!!! Wahoo...no more paying. It is so exciting.

I will hop back on a little later.....I hope everyone is having a good Sunday so far. Today for me is some yoga and house clean-up. Maybe taking Twinkie to the dog park.

Lorena

Hello everyone
back again, got my pumpkin pancakes in. need to make a new batch I'm all out. Got my strider in too. may do more later if I'm watching the game alone.

Lorena-CONGRATS!!!!! You've come a long way. Great job and keep up the great work

now back to crocheting. making some progress the past couple of days.

Lizzy

OMG...I'm so tired...I stayed up way too late last night knitting a scarf for alex, of course it's the first night in a while that cooper slept in his own bed...regan and cooper were up at the friggin crack of dawn, and the two of them, esp. regan is sooooooo loud...there is no quiet mode on the child....Need to go make some coffee, i'll be back!

Ohhhhh...sweet coffeeeeeee.....the haze is beginning to lift.

Got some quick house tidying done while it was brewing. just wish it would stay that way, would it be bad to lock regan and cooper in their room all day??? just kidding.

Haven't been outside, but I know the temps were supposed to be in the teens today, seems like our wind might have died down a bit.

Lizzy...I'm jealous of your good night sleep, lol.

Lorena...CONGRATS!!!!! You should be so proud of yourself, that is just wonderful!

Ok, I'm off to do something, not sure what yet...hmmmm, sit on the couch and knit, clean the rest of the house, do the dishes, eat breakfast... the possibilities are endless, lol.

Good Morning!
I am tired too. Jess won her game, Blair lost hers AT THE BUZZER. Then 2 of Jess' friends slept over. At about midnight they brought it down to a low roar. Garrett of course was mad that he was not allowed to hang out with them. They are actually pretty quiet right now, which is nice so I can drink my coffee.

I found out last night that I will have all 5 kids from later this morning through Weds. Should be fun...but now I have to do more grocery shopping later because there is a big difference in feeding 3 and feeding 6....especially the older boys. I think tonight we will just do pizza, then tomorrow I will do mexican night. The girls looooooove when I do mexican night. I usually do tacos & quesadillas. I know I have a chicken quesadilla recipe in one of my WW cookbooks....just have to figure out which one. hehe

Also today, we are all going to the Y for basketball and swimming. That will be my workout today.....especially because I am at it with them for about 3 hours.

Lizzy- Oh i wish I was making progress with my work the past few days, but I haven't. Hopefully tonight I can sit and do a few squares. Is the team doing better than last year?

Lorena- CONGRATS ON LIFETIME!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOO Awesome! I used to love to take Sasha to the dog park, but then someone decided to off leash their rottweiler and it attacked her. Her personality has really changed since then.

Nikki- Kevin is still at the Holiday Inn. hehehe How I keep the kids upstairs is I turn on something that I want to watch that I know they do not! hehehe That usually keeps them up there with peace and quiet for a while. Right now they are all awake and have taken over my living room watching Rocket Power...which I didn't realize they put back on. It's in the teens here today for a high too.

Alright....I need to finish my coffee and start to make breakfast....chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and sausage for the kids....buckwheat pancakes and turkey bacon for me.....and of course more coffee!

Morning Ladies! Sounds like we all woke up early. I still think part of me is i bed where it should be lol! I spent the evening just "piddling" around. Didn't do much nothing going on of importance.
Today though is Al's grandmothers monthly get together to celebrate family birthdays! So it will start at noon and we normally get back home by 4pm. I think there are 5 this month. I'll avoid eating the bad stuff by eating before i leave the house!
I don't know if I'll get any exercise in today. It depends on what all we have to do once we get home.

Lizzy, I think you'll be ok with one slice of pizza! It won't kill you. You could come home after and snack on some healthy veggies!
Lorena- Oh girl congrats to you. I've noticed you've lost 138lbs! you totally rock. I'll be coming by your page in a bit looking for some inspiration! Sounds like you know what you are doing!
Nikki- Does the door lock from the outside? haha Oh kids are always loud!
Jen- Have fun at the Y today I know you'll be able to burn lots of calories! I agree to about putting on a movie to run everyone off. I personally keep the "Sound of Music" handy it works like a charm!!

Well I'm going to take a quick shower and get ready for later! Hugs to you all!

Good morning lovelies! Cold cold cold here this morning, 16 degrees right now. James got up got ready for work and built me a fire, now I have to keep it going. Ahhhh, it is soooo nice. If only I can keep it going. Nothing much planned here for the day. I have got the crockpot going with beans and later when they are done I will make some cornbread. So I will budget for that.

Lorena: way to go! I am so happy for you!
Lizzy: stay warm!
Jen: wow girl all 5 kids, best of luck to you! Have fun at the Y, I wish we had one here. Lucky!!!
Nikki: If only we could get away with locking the kiddos up, its not like we want to put them in little crates or anything. Its just their rooms. LOL!!! Have a great day and stay warm.

April: you snuck in on me! Have a great time with the family! Good thinking to eat before you go, stay strong!

April- Can you bring something with you too just in case? You can do it!!!!! Any kid of chick flick or news program wards off the kids here! hehe

Cheryl- I looooove doing a pot of beans! I am happy just eating that...actually Kevin is too...the kids no. LOL Yeah I am happy having the Y here....I am really going to utilize it this year.

BTW ladies.....I put up the new weeks move it and lose it thread and I also posted an update regarding the Valentines Challenge.

Alright....I have to get cracking on breakfast.
