Oh boy Oh Boy another winter storm watch!!

First we got dumped on Monday resulting in no school now we are in line for more snow on Thursday! Winter is here and I think it will be sticking *ha ha * around for awhile!

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree!

We cut down our tree on Sunday. It's and 8 foot Douglas Fir. Very nice and only set us back 10 bucks. I decorated it Monday with Emma's Help lol..or lack of. She took off ornaments as fast as I put them on.

Oh My GOODNESS! I already published the tree story..sorry...I have no idea how to delete pictures either....sorry

Personal Post.

Well, Blogs are for lots of reasons and sometimes they are for airing dirty laundry...This weekend was fun but also a bit tough. I was confronted by someone I love very much about my weight. This is something that I have dealt with since I was a teenager (though I didnt balloon up until I was in my mid- twenties and now) What frustrates me is that people ASSUME that I eat too much, which on the contrary, I eat too little most days. I have been to a doctor asking them to do something, anything. What they have found is that my body produces to much of the male hormone, it's a slight amount above, but enough to wreck havoc on my weight and appearance (hair growth in places women SHOULD NOT have hair), I have been desperate in the past to lose weight. I have exercised obsessively, I have starved myself for months, I have denied myself any joy in food, only to have any weight I have lost come racing back. It breaks my heart that I have spent a large majority of my life dealing with this. I do not want my daughter to have to go through what I have. I pray to God that she does not inherit the imbalance that has basically ruined my physical life. Once again this monster has reared its ugly head and I am faced with many choices on what to do. My Dr. and I are working on this and I would appreciate encouragement, not remarks...believe me I dont need someone to point out my weight...it's the first thing I think about in the morning and the last before I go to bed. Thanks for letting me air my mind. It was a tough weekend.

Christmas Tree Hunt!

We cut down our tree today, before the weather changed. It is blowing and wet out right now.

Emma had No idea what was up, but she likes the tree. We got a Douglas Fir...for 10 dollars lol..its great knowing tree growers!

Heading out of town for Turkey Day!

I have been away for a bit..our darn internet has been insane...it works and then it doesnt..the past couple of days it hasnt worked a darn...so we reset it and now it is working again..we are going to Lansing for our holiday and are leaving tomorrow in the late morning. Hoping for good driving weather.

Emma's got the poutiest little lip I have ever seen...when I tell her NO..she sticks that lip out and when I really mean it...she turns those little lips down and the tears start to flow...what a horrible mommy lol..poor kid.

Ugh...so I was one of the many, many people who fell for the cheap Britax Carseats on Target.com. come to find out that they mispriced it and are not honoring it. I emailed them and told them mind. I am bummed. oh well. Time to save for when I do need to get a new seat for Emma. I still want the Britax, but will have to get a cheaper one for hubby.
