Happy Valentine's Day!

I have been on the ball this Valentine's day! I bought all the kids stuff last week. I got valentine's Chinese take out boxes and filled them full of goodies for the kids. I also got my husband a nice bottle of wine and a lovey dovey card. I woke up at 2:30 this morning to put everything out. I wanted my daughter, who wakes up before me, to have hers waiting for her. I even facebooked my hubby happy valentine's day before going to bed. At least my hubby noticed. He even pointed out that I was on the ball. Here's some photos from the morning:

My cutie pie, Blake, he has morning allergies so his eyes are always puffy in the am. But he is still cute as hell.

When Devon got out of the car when I dropped him off at school he wrote I love you on my window. He's a sweetie!

Then when I got to work I had these lovely tulips waiting for me. They are from a co-worker that says I'm always a nice friend to her.

I hope your Valentine's is going well also!

It's not so bad.

Saturday I was driving back from my cousin's shower with my daughter and we got to talking about family. Everyone bitches about their family at some point, it is human nature. And there are even times when people think their family is so effed up! But then you can talk to someone that has been through so much more (negatively) and it makes you realize...you family is pretty awesome! I know my family has issues but I also know....when the chips are down, we are ALWAYS there for each other. And really...isn't that all that matters.

5 Question Friday

Feel free to link up with Mama M. for Five Question Friday.

1. Would you rather be on ABC's Extreme Home MakeOver or TLC's What not to Wear? TLC's What not to Wear.....I am in desperate need of new clothes (post baby). 2. Do you have any tattoos? No, and I don't think I ever will. Just not my thing. 3. Do you tell your kids about things you did growing up? It is one of the reasons my daughter and I are close. I parent remembering what it was like to be her age. I know this parenting style isn't for everyone but it works for me. 4. If the traffic signal turns yellow, do you stop or speed up? Depends if the person behind me is riding my ass or not. 5. What's your preference: chocolate or chips? Chips...I'm not a big sweets girl

Fat Tuesday

Holla! I'm actually posting my Fat Tuesday post on Tuesday!!! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I lost 1.2 pound!!! Not to bad considering I didn't do a whole lot different. Although, I haven't really cooked dinner the past two weeks (I know, my family is bitching at me about it) so I've been eating salads every night. I haven't worked out much but on Saturday night my neighbor and I did Just Dance on the Wii for about an hour. If you have ever done it...you know it is a serious workout.

I hope everyone else had a productive week as well! Here's hoping we keep this going....

My Weekend.

I actually enjoyed my weekend. Friday we didn't have work due to the extreme ice conditions. I was doing laundry and Blake wanted to mess with the laundry basket.

So I turned it upside down on him. But he looks so happy! Then, while I was doing my hair and make up....I remembered when Devon was little we drew a mustache on him. So I drew one on Blake!

Saturday when I got home from work, I took my little man on his first ride in his wagon. He loved it. He hung out with our neighbors all day and night and it was fun and relaxing! I heart weekends like that!

Fat Tuesday

I guess I should really start calling it Fat Wednesday since I'm always a day late in posting. Anyways, I gained .2. I'm not going to let that get me down. I've been eating tons better and I'm hoping next week you will see that. I have two current obsessions......salad and tuna with pico de gallo in it. I know the tuna sounds gross, that's what I thought at first as well. Then I tried it. I. AM. IN. LOVE. WITH. IT. I'll eat it as a sandwich or on crackers. Honestly...I might even eat it by itself but it hasn't come to that yet. And salads, I like to eat one before every meal at home now. I try to eat lunch at least once a week at Sweet Tomatoes (salad bar). I've also tried to eat smaller portions. I am drinking a little more water than I did before so that should help as well.

I hope everyone else is doing good this week! Stay positive!

5 Question Friday

Thank God it is Friday again (although I have to work tomorrow). If you wanna link up, head on over to Mama M.

1. If you had $1,000 to donate to a charity, which would you choose? I would donate it to the lymphoma society. My grandma lost her battle to this cancer so I would love to help in any way I can.

2. Snow days: Do you welcome them happily or are they a pain in your butt? I live in Central Texas so if we actually had a snow day, it would be a big deal. I would welcome them happily if I could also stay home from work so I could play with my kids in the snow.

3. What talent did you wish you had and why? I wish I could sew. My mom does some awesome work and I can't make a thing.

4. Are you a news, politics or celebrity gossip junkie? I'm a celebrity gossip junkie, I'm not going to lie. That was my mail reason for originally getting a twitter account.

5. What is your favorite "cocktail"? (Are you a beer person, a kiddie cocktail junkie, or perhaps your more the "Cosmo" kind?! Anything flies...doesn't hafta be alcoholic!)

Before I had my last child, I loved malibu rum punches. Now, I'm in heaven with a glass or two of Moscato wine. Yummy!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
