So May is almost over.....

I can't believe it,Seems like it just flew on by. I had at least something going on almost every day this month. Starting with school meetings,projects,Dr. Appointments,etc.next month I am gonna be super busy. I will be lucky if I get any computer time. Weddings,bridal showers,concerts,school functions,etc. Oh and can't forget my husband's and my daughter's birthdays.June is always one of my busiest months even before my son started school. I am so not complaining though it beats staying home with nothing to do but clean. I still clean but now. It doesn't need to be cleaned as often if nobody is here to mess it up.

Love , Love, Love

These are my current favorite vocalists: Adele & Laura Izibor

Their voices are ridiculously awesome. Just incredible Vocals.

Day 2

              
            So I am restarting my journey to losing weight. yep you read that right. restarting *sigh* I always start out good and then crap out somewhere down the line. Any who... I usually start off taking my current weight & my goal weight writing it down somewhere. The first week I slowly cut out all soda & other drinks and Just drink water. The 2nd week I slowly cut down my portions adding extra fruit & veggies. The ones that are mostly made of water (celery, cucumbers, watermelon, etc.). Then by the third week I start with some light exercises- mostly walking..4th week has a variety of different ab,leg,arm,etc work out routines. Sounds great right. wrong by week 6 I am bored and only shed 15 pounds then I go right back to the same crap I was eating & drinking just not as much. And stop exercising. I gain back 10 of what I lost and maintain that weight til I start picking it up the routine again.


             So I am thinking I need an over haul of my routine. Yesterday I drank mostly lemon water, didn't eat as much & added the fruits and veggies right away. Today I am drinking more lemon water, eating smaller portions. So far so good. But then again it is only 10 am. I plan on doing at least 30 mins of a new fitness routine I found on Pinterest. (gotta love Pinterest!). And if I can find time and the weather permits, I want to fit in a 45 min walk. Doing the exercising every other day ( to give my muscles a break) . Mixing up the routine should keep me on the right track for a couple weeks at least. I am optimistic about sticking to it this time. So many things I want to look good for this summer. I have a couple weddings to go to and not looking like a fat cow would be a nice change. Hoping I can shed all the weight & meet my Goal weight by my sisters summer wedding in 2013. Wish my lots of luck. Gonna need it BIG TIME!

28

My 28th birthday is coming up next week. I am semi excited as usual lol. I like it only because it is piggy backed by Mother's Day. Haven't decided what I am doing but I want a party this year. 






I also want this CD: 

and these books :

Have Kids Halloween Costumes Crossed the line??

I would say absolutely. Seems like nothing is sacred anymore and especially little girls are getting sexualized younger and younger.Kids dressed as hookers is not a cute Halloween costume. PERIOD. I also HATE seeing skimpy little bikinis on toddlers. Gross. Not only can any pervert in a 1/2 mile radius oogle at your kid. Having that much skin exposed even with sunscreen is not good for their delicate skin.

Hunger Games Trilogy

I read all 3 books in 3 days (Yep I was up really late those nights LOL). If you haven't read all or any of these books and you don't like spoilers. Please don't read below.
Lets start with the first book :

The book was great incredibly screwed up but very detailed. I fell in love with a couple of characters wanting to smack the crap out of others. It was great. I felt like I was there in the book watching it all unfold. I got to the end and was disappointed. I wanted to see the reunion of Katniss and Peeta with their families. It sort of just dropped off. So I picked up the 2nd book thinking it would be in there. But Sadly it is not. 

 My favorite parts were where Rue Dies. It was beautiful Made me cry. Made me angry that she was killed. I knew it was gonna happen but wished that it wasn't true. They all were sent into that arena to die. Only one Victor was allowed.

My other favorite parts were between Katniss and Peeta. I know that she was acting on her part but sometimes it felt real. Like you could feel the sparking between them. The nights in the cave while she was nursing him back to health. The end when they were both going to commit suicide so there would be no winners because they couldn't kill each other... was fantastic!!!!!

The second book:

The second books starts months after the Games ended. They are living in the Victor Village with Haymitch . Each having their own residence. They are getting ready to start the Victor Tour. Visiting all the 12 districts & the capitol for a bunch of celebrations and festivities. Then Comes the Quarter Quell. Which happens every 25 years. This year the rules have changed and sends the previous & current victors back into the ring.  Katniss makes a pact to keep Peeta alive at all costs even if it means the end of her own life.  The Arena is different this time. This time it works like a clock. Every hour brings on a new horror for them all. At the end of the book Katniss breaks the barrier of the arena by accident and a hovercraft rescues the remaining victors.
            This book. Made me all sorts of pissed off. I hated that they had to go back into the arena. I hated the Love triangle between Peeta, Katniss and Gale. Even though this book pissed me off. It was great. I love books that provoke real emotions out of the reader.


Onto the 3rd book : 

The 3rd book covers the rebellion that was sparked in the first book. It shares a lot of detail that didn't make sense at the time in the first two books. Like it explains the chain of events that lead them to where they were. Peeta has been kidnapped by the Capitol. Katniss is the face of the Rebellion. Pretty much under the control of President Coin (The president of District 13, the one that supposedly was destroyed  in the Dark Days). Gale is a D13 soldier. Everything is so screwed up. When they finally get Peeta back he was pretty much brainwashed to kill Katniss. Of course this hurts Katniss more than she lets on. Blah blah blah. I liked this book but it should have been longer. I felt they left some important stuff out.It left me still asking questions. It was almost as if the Author just rushed right through it at the end.The last 100 pages felt 

rushed .

My favorite book out of the trilogy was the second book. Rating the whole trilogy 8 out of 10. Ten being Best. The rushing in the third book really killed it for me. I still want to watch the movie though. Good news if you hadn't heard but they will be making all 3 books into movies.

Has your life turned out the way you thought it would when you graduated High School? How is it different from what you thought it would be?

Well for one thing I thought I would have worked for much much longer and eventually  gone to college. I didnt expect to get married and have children practically out of school. I didn't think I was gonna settle down and have a family til at least 30

Time has really gotten away from me

             I noticed that my last post was in FEB. (oops... I know I know you can yell at me for breaking my new years resolution/goal now). Well moving on...Life has been well busy. Between doctors appts, school stuff, bridal showers, housework, errands, etc. I just want to crash for a week and not move. I am seriously getting worn down. I actually cried to my husband the other night because I am so stressed out , under appreciated and abused lately. Lets start with the fact that . 
            My time seems to no longer belong to me but to everyone else. My kids take up a huge chunk of my time which is no big deal because well they are mine. BUT... Other peoples children have weaseled their way into my time as well. Every Time I think I will be able to have a day to myself to get things done or just be able to veg for 1/2 a day the phone rings. Can you babysit my child/ren? *Big HUGE ever loving Sigh* Shit I get no notice. I need to mentally prepare myself to handle your kid/s and giving me a few hours or the night before ain't cutting it. Apparently SAHM translates into Free babysitter whenever you need because I apparently have no other commitments and are suffering from sit on my ass syndrome. I had to put off grocery shopping several times because when I wanted to go & actually found time to go someone wanted me to watch their child/ren. Sorry I am not bringing a butt load of kids to the store with me. I went 3 weeks without going to the store.We didn't run out of food but we seriously were very close. I have Yard work I still have not been able to get to and probably won't be able to til later on next week (more so towards the weekend).But I digress...Thanks for listening to my little rant. 
            Now that we are getting closer to the summer months things are really going to be picking up. Baby shower this SAT. that I am excited about because well I didn't have to plan it, just need to show up. LOL. We find out on MON. what my SIL will be having this time. Oh yeah she is pregnant again Due is SEPT. Again. The same one that had a baby last year. Me and MIL already agreed we are not throwing her another baby shower. It just seem tacky to me having baby showers that close together, ya know? The babies are only going to be a year apart. Literally 12 months and a week.I might change my mind though if this is a boy this time. We shall see....
