Camera is still in the shop!

A month later and my camera is STILL in the darn shop! The LCD screen has been backordered and it will be shipped when the part comes in. UGH! I miss my camera.

Other then that things have been pretty busy around here. We went to a funeral for an old family friend who passed last week. It was a huge turnout and a very nice service for an "outstanding" guy.

Emma is talking a lot now. She says Rory (her buddy) really clear, and lots of other words. She is determined and likes to show it!

Chris is doing well, he had a school music performance and he can dance! It was really cool!

We are booked for Florida! Nov 27 is check in day at the Hilton Grand!!! Two bedroom Condo..I am so excited!!!

We are excited Spring is here, the grass is greening up, snow is melting, it feels great when it warms up!!

Well...as some of you know...

I'm pretty conservative in my views...okay...very conservative....I took part in today's "Tea Party" and I took some pic's and video if you are interested I will post a link to my amateur movie making...

It does not matter where you stand politically if you are against higher taxes it's time to stand up for what you believe in.

Excellent Weekend!! Emma Survived too!

I went to Grand Rapids this past weekend with another mommy friend and her mom. We had a blast and helped the economy a lot too! We were gone from Friday A.M until Sunday Afternoon. We saw Monsters VS Aliens in 3D at an Imax Theater...SO much fun. It was so nice to be with people who love to shop as much as me!! We met up with another of our Mom friends who moved back to G.R. a few months ago and visited with her and her little girl. (TCmommas-- Sarah Hills says HELLOOOO and she misses you all!!! ) It was great fun and my first time away from Emma bean for an extended amount of time. When I got home she just stared at me like where have you been. I picked her up and she motioned for our chair and patted herself Please..for milk..guess weaning isnt going to happen just yet! All in all it was a FANTASTIC Weekend! I hope we can do it again sometime!!

I have added a page to my blog

I have added a Link to my blog about my personal battle with an eating disorder. (bet you didnt know that...well some of you may...) I need a place to vent, rant, celebrate. So check it out if you want. The link is located on the left side of my blog under the the tags. It is titled "My Personal Battle" Thanks again to those who already know what I am dealing with and for being there.

My camera is being fixed!!

Woo HOOO! And it is only going to set me back 170 dollars *GASP Choke Gasp* okay, I expected it to be around that..it is better then having to buy a whole new camera that's for sure. It should be done in a few days!!!

The Y! and some extra!

Boy oh Boy! I am loving the Y, Emma is liking it a little more each day...I hope..she gets pretty upset, but she is learning. My good friend Whitney and I are going almost everyday Mon-Friday and working out for about an hour or more per day. It feels so Awesome! We do a 30 minute Curves like Circut then on to 20 minutes on the Treadmill and then 10 minutes of stretching, crunches and leglifts etc. We pick up the girlies and say good bye and head home for much needed naps for the kiddo's. My lifestyle has totally changed, in a good way and not so good way. My obsession with food (and calorie counting/fat counting) has reared its ugly head. It is so frustrating to have a love/hate relationship with food. I know we need it, it is important fuel for the body. I remember when I was in Highschool and anorexic. I was sick all the time, but I was thin! I don't ever want Emma to be that way. I want her to be healthy and happy and have a good relationship with her body. I am working on that relationship with my body and mind. My heart is healing, I have been through a lot when it comes to my image and what I feel about myself. (self-loathing comes to mind) so bear with me I will have many posts that are a bit selfish, but they are therapy in a way.

It's my B-Day and I will cry if I want to...LOL

Just Kidding! Im 35 today and wow time just doesnt slow down. I have joined the YMCA and I am becoming a Gym Rat already. I LOVE IT!!! I feel so incredible after I work out I am giddy and over the moon... gotta love those endorphins!! Have a great weekend!

Emma had her first Ear infection...but seems to be doing much much better! Gotta run!
