We are back!!!!!

Hi all, sorry it has again been forever!  We have been focusing more on making you tube videos but I decided today set up an website that would let me dedicate time to posting the you tube videos and putting my thoughts down and out of my head.   Let's see how long it lasts this time! lol


So the last I posted we had tried the Connections Academy and it wasn't going well.  I am pretty certain the day I posted that was the same day that we dropped out!  It just didn't work for us.

Little Waffles (the tween girl) is now known by 'Waffles'  it is her name at the gym so we will just stick with that here.  She is currently training for level 7 in gymnastics but mentally and physically is having challenges so who knows what will happen there.  She is obviously still diabetic but a few months ago we got a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor and it has really improved her control of the diabetes.

Baby Waffles is definitely no longer a baby.  He is now 8  (how did that happen?????) He still doesn't really want to do anything but play games and make videos.  He wants to be a you tuber when he grows up.  Hey I have seen the stats, if the market doesn't go away I don't have a problem with that!  He tried soccer and lasted all of 20 minutes (maybe, if that?)  We are looking to put him in cub scouts but just haven't gotten our act together to do it yet.  His speech, oh my gosh he has improved soooo greatly!  He has FINALLY gotten one of his top two teeth which were pulled out when he was 3 and the other is just about to pop through.  I honestly believe with those teeth coming in he may very likely graduate out of speech by the end of this school year.  I will miss his therapist but I will be THRILLED!

As for Daddy Waffle, he is still protecting the city (our own little Batman, maybe??)  He will be retiring in a few (6 or so) years so we are trying to rework our lives so we can live a cash life with no debt.   I will be posting more about that as we get in a better place with setting it up and knowing what we are doing.  

Then there is me, Mommy Waffle.  I am trying to balance, a growing travel agency business, developing a budget, teaching these crazy kids and schlepping Waffles to all her gymnastics.  It's a tough busy life but most days I love it.  

Oh and in the middle of it all I really am trying to lose like 100 lbs but who knows when that will happen!

So anyway that is our life these days.  I don't think I have enough interesting to post DAILY but I will try to post at least weekly, more when there are things to post about.  In the mean time we try to post videos on our you tube channel a least weekly sometimes more depending on what we find to post about.  Please come check it out at www.youtube.com/channel/UCxXdtwCjs9JNW3sZ7rvK8ng

We would love if you would like (if you do), comment (if you'd like) and please subscribe so you can keep up with all our fun!!!

tough day

Well for starters my little climbing monkey was at it again and pulled a stool down on his head. Up comes yet another goose egg!
Then I go to Harris Teeter where it turns out the have ice cream buy 2 get three FREE( I know I know like o need that much ice cream. ) apparently I didn't think I needed it either because I left two cartons in the store! Now I am home eating like a pig.
on the other hand we got back on track with school now that food the most part we are healthy and little Waffle got started in gymnastics. She was so excited and did really well for her first day.
Oh and just as an aside I sent my wii in for repairs so no weigh in until I get it back.

weigh in day

I was all ready to title this post weigh in wednesday cause it sounds so catchy but then I realized duh, its Tuesday. I still will post my weigh in info since I did weigh. I can't believe I have to actually post a number this high but it is what it is so I guess to get it down I have to own it, right. I weighed in today at 257.7. That is down .2 since the last time I weighed but it is still higher than I have ever been even at the time of delivering either child.
So my short term goal for the week is simply one pound and no snacking after 7 pm (8 at the latest if dinner runs late) also to get exercise in at least 3 times.

a day at our school

Today started getting a little rough so I thought a few pictures of us actually working were in store! Along with one that explains why things started looking up!
We had fallen a bit behind having to leave for kindermusik and science class yesterday so not only did we play catch up but also Little Waffle was so eager to do extra in her handwriting that I decided to go insane and do tomorrows assignments too. Tomorrow is payday and we need some serious groceries so this will give us more time to get that done.
On a side note, yesterdays local groupon was for a haircut from a day spa for $20. ($48 value) I have decided I can't use it until I lose 10lbs so it will be a treat of sorts for me. So please keep on me to keep me on track. I need to lose 10 from tomorrow because I didn't weigh today so I don't really have a starting point. :)
Well I am off to relax( as much as I can with laundry about to bury me....)
