Danger Boy went to stay with the grandparents for a week. The Pleaser was
with his dad for 3 days. I had glorious peace for 3 whole days.
Everyone's home now. The Gamecube is blaring, they are fighting over
who gets to play and all is back to normal on the homefront. But I am
glad to have them home. Of course, what did I do while my kids were gone? I spent all of
Saturday evening with my next door neighbors playing with babies.
They have been trying to adopt and have decided to become foster
parents. They have a brother and sister 10 months and 20 months right
now. The cutest things you have ever seen! The 20 month old little
girl took to me right away, which is strange because as much as I want
them to, girls never take to me. When it was time for her to go
upstairs to bed, she grabbed my hand and said "Go". She wanted me to
come with her. She was just so sweet! They are hurricane evacuees and their mom abandoned them. Thank goodness for wonderful people like my neighbors. There is so
much joy in their house right now. I hope the mom stays out of the
picture so my neighbors can adopt these precious babies. They would
give them such a loving home.
Weight loss report: As of today, the plateau is over. I have lost
another 2 lbs since Friday making the grand total (drumroll
please)......
22 pounds!

The Dreaded Plateau
I have reached it - The Dreaded Plateau. You know the one when you
diet and you stop losing weight. UGH it is really frustrating me. I haven't lost anything in two weeks. It makes it really hard to keep
motivated. It's bad enough that I still look like a fat ass and nobody
has noticed the weight loss but now I am not losing. Someone slap me
and keep me motivated. I am seriously wanting to bake some
Snickerdoodles and eat until I puke. Well, not really the last part so
much...but you know what I mean.
In other news, Danger Boy is in Oklahoma with the grandparents. As much as he drives me crazy, I miss the little dude. It is too quiet around here. Almost creepy. The Pleaser is still around but he'll be going to his dad's for the weekend so I might actually have some grown up time this weekend. Ahhhhhh.

Sometimes You Feel Like a Bitch, Sometimes You Don't
I am just pissed at all of the "men" in my life right now, so ignore me....
GRIPE #1:
OK, you know how men are always blaming our bad moods on PMS....well what the hell causes their bad moods?!? Phone Guy has been on the rag now for 3 days. Everything he says is some smartass comment and it's pissing me off! For example: I washed the towels he uses in the garage. I ask, "Where do you want me to put these?" He looks at me and very sarcastically says, "the garage." (Oh no you di-nt....) So I calmly turn around, walk to the garage door and throw the stack of nicely folded towels into the garage to land where they may.
GRIPE #2:
I am tired of being woken up in the middle of the night for stupid crap. The kids are on summer break now. The first day of summer break, Danger Boy wakes me up at 1:30, 4:30 and 6:30 - each time asking the burning question, "Is it time to get up yet?" HELLO! It is summer vacation. It is NOT time to get up at any of those ungodly hours! You have a freakin' clock in your room, look at it. You know I wake you at 7:00 am for school. Don't get up any earlier than that. Then the last 3 nights he has woken me between 11:30 and 1:30 to tell me he has a nosebleed, which would be fine if he actually HAD a nosebleed. He has 2 microscopic drops of blood on a tissue...and do you want to know why? Because he lies in bed and picks his nose. GROSS! He is just nasty.
GRIPE #3:
And this morning was even more enjoyable. At 3:30 Phone Guy wakes me to ask where my car keys are so he can leave for work. My sleepy mind starts thinking....and I realize I never drove yesterday. So I get up to look for them. He says, "I got the spare key, never mind." I then remember that I sent The Pleaser to the car yesterday for something. I have a psychic vision and call to Phone Guy to tell him to check the rear bumper. Sure enough, there sit my keys on the rear bumper...in the driveway...with my house key on the ring....in front of the house. OOOOOH BOY is that child going to hear from me when he wakes up.
I need some sleep. (can you tell)

Milestone
As of this morning I am down 20 pounds. It has taken me about 11
weeks to lose that much but I guess that is the "healthy" way - or so
they say (whoever *they* are).
The really depressing thing is not one person, aside from my Mom and Phone Guy, has even remarked that I have lost anything. And they only say it because they know I am working really hard and they are stroking my ego. I mean, I know I am fat but damn....you would think 20 pounds would be noticeable. I hadn't been at my kids school much in months and I went in there and spent lots of time over the last couple of weeks and nobody....NOBODY....noticed.
I had The Pleaser take my photo today for my weight loss scrapbook and I compared it with a photo taken at my best friend's baby shower in October and I can't see a difference either. IT SUCKS!
Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled with my results but it would be nice to get a little recognition.

No the 4th Graders Didn't Kill Me
I just realized I never updated after my long (and temporarily
insane) trip with the 4th graders. We all survived and I made it back
in one piece.
It's yearbook time and since I volunteer to put together the school's yearbook (remember - temporary insanity), I have been working non-stop for the last 2 1/2 weeks on that. Now, if I wasn't such a big procrastinator I would have already had a bunch of it done. But I work best under pressure - riiiiight.
Two more weeks until school is out. The last 3 weeks are so hectic that I will be glad when it is over.....for about 3 days. Then my kids will be driving me crazy and I will be looking forward to the middle of August.
Weight Loss Update: Due to my hectic schedule, my exercise dropped off a little and I've been eating like shit, BUT I have still managed to lose weight! I am sitting at 18 POUNDS LOST now! WooHoo!!
