Changes Again

Some new things here again.

I'm on the hunt again. For a job. My appointment was up at the post office and there were too many PSE's so they decided to have lay offs, so I was included in that. However, I was going to quit at the same time that I was laid off, so I was fine with that. No huge blow to the ego like there would have been. I will say there's not a lot of full time jobs hiring right now, so who knows when I'll be able to find a job, but I'm trying. I search everyday and apply to all that I qualify for and meet our basic needs.

On another note, I'm down almost 18 lbs! And over 13" all over since I started measuring. I'm excited! I feel better and look better! I've gotten a lot of compliments and that gives me a boost. I've had my cravings, which are horrible, but I've either not given in, or had just enough to satisfy it. I'm really working on my self control. I've tried to get my workout in at least 6 days a week. I've noticed, if I don't, I'm very disappointed in myself, so I just do it, even when I don't want to. One day I'll reach my goal!

Must go, it's lunch time. Have a great week!

Cameron's 2!!!

I'm late on this post. Oh well!

Cameron's 2! And into everything!

We celebrated his birthday at home, on his birthday. With pizza, cupcakes and ice cream. He got a Spider-Man toy from Mackenzie and Thomas the train track and train from Marty and me.

The next Sunday he had his party at a bowling alley. Everyone had a blast! All the kids bowled. We had a pizza (again), great tasting cake and presents!

I can't believe he's already 2. I really have no more babies. Toddler and preschooler, and they both have their own personalities and do everything on their own. I hear "no mommy I'll do it" all the time now, it's weird.

Next stop, potty training!

Happy Easter!!!

Another Easter gone. We had a lot of good times at church and as a family!

Sunday March 24, the kids and I, dad, Carol, Taylor and Danielle went to the Easter egg hunt at Carols brother, Doug's house. The kids had a ball and they got to play with Doug and Leslie's granddaughter, Sho. They got tons of candy and played like crazy.

Saturday before Easter I took the kids to the Easter vigil mass at church. It didn't start until 8:30 and is a very beautiful service, but way too long for the kids. We have baptisms, confirmations and first communions at this service. I think it's the most beautiful service of the year. However, next year we will be going to Easter Day mass.

Easter was a great day. When we got up the kids got to get their Easter baskets. They had their Easter egg hunt. I had to use plastic eggs this year because last year Mackenzie had to try to beat Buddy to the real eggs. This year he left the plastic ones alone. We had dinner at Doug's house for Easter. There was so much food and it was so good. I let myself eat whatever I wanted. No counting calories! I still did pretty good, didn't go crazy.

I hope everyone had a great Easter!
