Um...

ok...so lots of drama around my house here lately...I know I was posting like everyday...and I haven't been doing that here lately, but honestly...I found I really don't have much to say everyday. Ok, well, yeah I do, but not sure I should put it here where certain people could "stumble" onto it and get an eyefull!

I am a blunt, outspoken person to alot of people...very rarely do I bite my tongue. My mother has always said that I was born without a pause button between my brain and my mouth...and yes...unfortunately...I have managed to pass this on to my kids. Some people think I am being hurtful, some people think I am being mean, and some people think that I am just full of crap. I can't help it...I try...and eventually it all just comes spilling out anyway...and usually at the most inopprotune times.

My ex-husbands ex-girlfriend takes everything to heart...God love her. She seems to be a good woman. I have nothing against her and I never have had anything against her. However, if I say something to my ex-husband about how he is treating his kids - she gets upset and thinks I am attacking her.

There is so much going on in my personal life...I don't know what to do or what to think. I have a very hard time doing nothing...I am very impulsive...especially with my words...I don't always think things through and I know that I should...But I just can't get a grip on my damn tongue!

Ok..well I am going to cut this off here cause it's not making much sense to me either....

Ingrown toenail...

Ok..so I now have an ingrown toenail...and it's not the entire nail...just one corner...way down in the corner of the toe...and it hurts...really bad. I have a Doctor's appointment in the morning and I can't sleep tonight. I have been really tired here lately. Well, I think I am gonna go play on facebook for awhile.

Poor Binkers

My poor little Binkers isn't looking so good...everyone is saying he is depressed...I will keep trying as long as he will though. I hope he gets out of his funk soon...this is scary.

As for other news...hhmmm...weight loss is at a stand still yet again. Drill sergent and I were supposed to start exercising again today and a storm hit...what fun!

My ex-husband has yet again found a way to totally tick me off...he is very good at that...the younger two kids will be home next week...so much for him taking them for his month during the summer! I guess I am lucky he could even spare a week. He didn't take them at the 1st of the month because he couldn't "afford" to have them, but yet he took his other son from his soon to be ex-wife. The day he gets them I have to bring them to him because he has no gas in his truck and no money to put gas in his truck, yet the day before he takes himself, his ex-girlfriend, his other son, and her kids to a water park for the day and doesn't bother inviting our two kids to go along and the day after i drop them off he takes them out to the beach for the day...wow...what a way to prove you have no gas and no money for gas. What a way to show our kids how much you really care as well...he absolutely refuses to take our kids if he can't take the other boy as well...however he will take the other boy and not even bother with our two kids...

Inside of my household...aggrevation. When you ask a question that has a yes or no response to it...how hard is it for the person answering to simply say...yes...or...no. Appearantly...extremely hard as my husband can't seem to accomplish this task. I just don't understand why it is so hard to give a direct response to a direct question. There are other things I don't understand as well, but I don't think I am ready to voice them as of yet.

Well, I think I am about to head off to bed - it's pretty late.

Slacker me...

Tomorrow drill sergent and I are going to start our workouts again...yes, I have been a total slacker here lately. I am going to start posting some recipes I think...and maybe some pics of our dinners...

Well, I think this is just going to be a short blog tonight...I have a really bad headache.

The results

Tonight went well...we actually made a profit from it! Now...I will say...we only sold 1...yes...count it...O...N...E...jar of preserves! But, I think drill sergent had fun...he sure did dance alot...they held a dog show...and a corvette show...and there was dancing in the streets....literally...a human train...the cha cha slide...it was fun to watch. They even did the hokey pokey!!!

Hard work

Well, the big day that dill sergent and I have been working for the past couple of weeks is finally here. Our town "flea market" is tonight so we will finally see if the hard work has paid off. The amazing thing is - we are selling sweets and the only person in my household that is really interested in sweets is my husband. Drill sergent can't eat sugary stuff without getting sick to his stomach and I just don't really care for sweet stuff all that much. My younger two kids would much rather eat fruit then cakes or candies. I must have done somthing right there.

My ex-husband finally got the younger two boys yesterday and I plan to use this time to get myself back on track and get my house back in order. Get my life in order.

I am once again having problems with fluid build up in my body...I don't know what the deal is here. What I do know is that it really hurts. However, other things that were feeling bad on me are feeling lots better now! Well, I think that's it for now - I'll let you all know how things go tonight!

Life

Ok..well I haven't exactly been blogging here lately...i know i know...shame on me! There has been so much going on...it's crazy. The drill sergent and I haven't been working out...or counting calories...which the calorie part really hasn't been an issue for me...I eat meat, but honestly could live without it. I (for some odd reason) have never really cared much for meat. My husband swears I could live off of broccoli...and yes...I am pretty sure he is correct...my absolute favorite veggie ever!

However, I am finding that along this "journey" I am wanting to clean out other areas of my life as well...not just shedding the weight...I feel as though there are things in my life that are trying to keep me where I am...that are holding me back.


For one...we need to get rid of some animals around here...I feel like I am running a zoo! At the moment we currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 6 ferrets, 2 hamsters, and a hedgehog. 4 of the ferrets are my ex-husbands that he was supposed to be buying the supplies for and taking care of and hasn't - so they are now in need of a new home (as I can't afford to keep them). 2 of the dogs need a home - 1 dog the owner abandoned in front of my ex-husbands house...tied him up on a 5 foot lead and left him...no food...no water...so i brought him home with me so he could be taken care of until i could find another place for him...and the other one is our big dog who is 1/2 german shephard and 1/2 lab - while we love him dearly - things have not turned out as planned and i would love to find him a home in the country where he can run...the poor baby...i just don't have the yard he needs.

Second off...I would love to clean out my closets (literally)...and now I hear Eminem singing in my head...I'm sorry momma...anyway...

Third...I am sure that by now all of you have seen the TV show hoarders...well...I live with one...my husband. Only...he doesn't only hoard certain things...he hoards EVERYTHING! So I have to wait until he is not home to get rid of stuff...the problem with this...he has been unemployed and living a hermetic lifestyle for almost a year now. He rarely leaves his computer chair other to smoke his cigarettes (and this only because I have forced him to go outside to smoke - I quit over a year ago and my youngest child is asthmatic). He actually freaked out over the price of things..."can you believe that a box of sugar babies costs $1.49!" Yeah...it's been that way for awhile now. Anyway...back to the issue...can't really get rid of things with him around...and it is practically impossible to live your life with someone like this without getting sucked down into their muck right along with them.

Forth...well...honestly...I am not really sure here.

Anyway, I know I haven't exactly talked about the exact topic of weight loss here tonight (err...this morning), but this is what was on my mind. I am sorry if you all have not enjoyed this...hopefully back on track soon.

Aggrivated....

My weight keeps bouncing around...I am going from 252 - 256...I hate when this happens...but then again one thing I hadn't considered until just this moment is that I may be getting ready to start my period. I need to up my activity level...I need to make room to set my treadmill up so that I can use it one the days when I can't go out and walk like today. They still have our local stadium closed down for repairs atm so we haven't been able to go there to do our exercise lately...hopefully soon tho.

Trouble...

I woke up this morning to a soaking wet laundry room and bathroom. Our water heater went out...lovely. I went for my walk tonight...having forgotten about the water heater...and now I can't shower the sweat off of myself...this is so freaking gross. I guess I will shower tomorrow at my parents house so that I won't stink! Hopefully things start looking better for us soon...I am hoping to get another job as well.

Good day

Today we went swimming! My favorite pasttime....4 hours! It was great...I had a blast watching the kids and swimming around myself..I think it is really funny that most people stay around the edges of the pool...so I go to swim in the middle where the little kids and others won't be splashing me cause basically...there is no one around me there lol. We are doing some more preserves tonight...hopefully we will finish before long...and let me tell you...I don't want to see anymore pears already...I have discovered that I really don't care for pears at all.

Pears!!!!!!

I will be having nightmares about pear preserves for years to come I am sure of it! We have about 50 more pounds of pears to go...I tasted the pear preserves...only to find out...they are gross! Way too sweet! I feel sick to my stomach now...and that is only from a little taste...how do people eat this stuff?!?! I am seriously not a big fan of sweet stuff. My younger kids tasted them only to tell me that...yeah that's how they are supposed to taste. Well, then I get the bright idea to add some cinnamon into a few jars of the pear preserves...right...kinda like a baked pear...wwwaaayyy too much cinnamon...so tomorrow we are going to have to cut it down...we even tried a couple of pear experiments...NOT GOOD! I really hope this stuff sells good...but I definately can't eat the stuff...not that it's bad...I just can't eat something this sweet!

254

Yay...I got on the scale this morning and see the magic number of 254 staring back at me!!! This really surprises me as we haven't been able to do any walking at all for the past few days due to the weather and due to the fact that I messed my ankle up somehow. Well, I am patting myself on the back anyhow! The drill sergent and I are trying our hands at making preserves and selling them for a little extra cash...Lord knows we need all the financial help we can get. I'll let you know how it goes...
