I have had an I needed that kind of week. My kids are home from school for yet one more week of their 2 week fall break ( dang Alternate schedule). There for my house looks like a pig pen, I am getting no help from them and if I didn't have so much dang hair you could so see the bald spots from where I am pulling it out. I feel like my patients is worn paper thin and my dh isn't seeming to help much lately. He did make a GREAT meal and then left the dishes for me. He did a load of laundry and i will be the one to sort and put it away. See what I mean great help huh.... so anyway. I went to the DoJang for the kids to do their TKD ( I can't right now busted a toe) and Mr Tuck told me what wonderful patience I had. He had been dealing with thier almost 2 year old that day need I say more.
SO then I come here to complain and whine and I can't even do that because my wonderful friends make me laugh when I just don't think I want to.
Thank you I needed that.
oh and..........
Thanks for putting up with me and my lousy grammar and punctuation. I know it can be hard to read at times. Like I said in the beginning I din't come here to work on my spelling and such so....... read some of my old posts I understand I really do.
so sorry guys
I know I have been really lazy at keeping up here. Actually I have gotten lazy at everything but the exercise. I am tired and have been having some headaches lately. I think new glasses will solve the headaches but the other I am not sure. I am trying some new supliments and revamping the diet. I slacked a little with that and I am thinking that may be the problem.
Anyway I am 5 pounds from my goal now and I am thinking I will need to push myself beyond that I mean at over 200 165 looked like a lot of weight and now that I am this close to that goal I believe I can go further so, call me crazy but I am going to change my goal to 155 and keep plugging along. In fact I made it reality the other day by calling into the radio station and saying I would do that by Christmas so here we go.
Pray that EVERYTHING will fall into place and my health and body will handle all I have to do.

the weigh in.
I just thought I would update on the whole excercise/ weight thing. I love the excercise. I really do and I love being pushed when I need and encouraged. I wish I could have that at home but I just don't see it happening. My husband thinks that sarcasm passes as thank yous and compliments and it just doesn't to me. ANYWAY moving beyond that. I took a pic with my phone the other day that I really just have to share. At weigh in last wednesday I hit under the 190 I am now in the 80s and I think the other gals are amazed that the weight is still just melting off. I love it.
Anyway pic on is the before from the website.
pic 2 is from last sat when I wore the shorts that are now so huge I had to give them away. sorry for the yuccky lookin me I had just gotten done with a TKD class and was all sweaty. you you look at the pic though there are 2 things you should notice, the first is the look on Ky's face. she did not want to be where she was. THe second is why her face looked like that . Yup her legs are LOOSELY down the shorts, in fact the only thing keeping the rest of her out of the shorts was her diaper, she wasn't too happy about not having the support of mommy's arms around her bottom.
I will post the after pic that we took a bit ago when they post it. I am just as curious to see what has changed as the rest of you.

The knot is slipping.
School can't start fast enough at this point. I have had it up to my eyeballs with most of these kids. and yes I mean most of them. I have a 3 year old that will not talk, she just grunts and groans and thinks that somehow this will get her the attention she wants. she has done this since the baby ( who is now about to talk her self) was four months old and started cooing. Can was say Jealous. she WON"T potty train the diaper thing gets her attention. at this point I am very tempted to just let her go with pants on and hope that after I hose her off a few times with the hose she will get the picture. Then there is the 8 year old who has become a klepto. and will take just about anything that isn't nailed down. then she will lie about it n hopes of getting out of it. THen there is the 11 year old (ok so he is just a few weeks shy of 12) who thinks he knows all and I know nothing, not only that but he can just sit because he can and everyone will take care of him. OH hell no I will not have my brother in this house.
Now on to the oldest child in this house and yes I mean my dh ( for those of you reading today the d don't stand for dear lately) He seems to think these days athat he can go away and come back to a home in perfect order with no chaos at all. that I (his maid) will automatically find his socks underwear and all his clothes on command and never complain about it, even when he doesn't for one second let me know that he A) aprreciates it or B even lets me know he is all most out of something. He sits and tells me that I need to set an example and show the children how do to things, when it is HE that will sit on his tookus all afternoon flipping channels and saying there is nothing on, and how big a mess the house is that that he can't even find the sink ( ok so do a danm dish will ya) I cook clean and keep the fighting to a minimim in the house all day long, I fetch is slippers and shoes and all sorts of things, and then the jerk wants you know what. Last night I finally told that I was leaving my self for someone I thought loved me not my employer. I am not a whore. I will be a maid and a nanny but there is no way I am going to do that.
I AM DONE.

what is happening to me.
I have so much energy when I finish with a workout that is it getting hard for me to calm down. I am beginning to look like a dang Jack rabbit. The problem is that I can't be a Jack rabbit somebody else has that name all ready. But the even better news is that I am dropping and dropping and dropping. by all means take a peak at the ticker below. yup I hit is and it is not coming back. I called my dad and my brother and If it were possible to call my mom I would even tell her, though at this minute I am sure she knows my weight better than I do. I need ways to celabrate this loss though without making my weight spike back up. I am going to lunch some time this week and next and I am pretty sure that I know what I will be doing for both of those. I would really love to find a way to show off the loss though with out buying a new wardrobe yet. THat will come with 20 pounds and that fact that I won't fit in anything I own.
If you know of anything let me know so that I can be proud for me.
Oh and if you want to see before an after pics the link is in the post below titled Well it is up. I don't know for sure when the 4 week pic will be up but they took it today.

Ok now the dust has settled.
I can properly blog about our trip. you know about the whole windshield fiasco. That was the only REALLY bad thing that happened the entire weekend. beside the fact that the camera burned up ( yes I mean burned up. about 45 minutes after I started using it, so I have to rely on the kindness of friends to get me pictures this time around. I know there were some really good ones taken. Te tournament went ALL day on Saturday. We were there from 1130 till 8 PM and I know there were people there longer than we were. They sectioned the children by rank and then by age. SO I ended up with 4 kids in four separate rings and was running like a mad woman to see it all. because almost all of my kids are back belt and they are all different ages. my kids remember their favorite judges. I remember min she said she was proud of me because not only was I there but that all my family was involved that was a great thing. the judge I remember best was this little German lady with a VERY thick accent when she was trying to say all the Korean terms they were VERY hard to understand. She did the judging for Janet and Sydnie by the time sydnie was done though we pretty much could discern what she was saying.
As far as the tournament went all of us except for my husband and Christine had to redo the forms. We choked it wasn't pretty. Next time though we will know them and it won't be a problem. HOWEVER. when it came to sparring (which BTW I think I suck at) we did pretty well.
My son was in the gold metal round and so was I ( yeah I know you are shock too.) I lost by 2 and I think sean only lost by one. we both went full time. so Sean and I came out of sparring with silver metals.
(sorry about the quality of the pic they were all done on the camera phone when I get tournament stuff i will post it as well.)
Christine and Tyler came out with Bronze.
Janet and Randy both got honorable mentions and Sydnie got a gold (they all did they are cubs for heaven sake).
THe kids loved the pool at the hotel and I used the stair well as a personal gym so that I could keep up with my training. I jogged and walked over a mile in + 90 degree weather at 10 at night. TO hot from me thanks, the pool was a wonderful cool down though and I was grateful to have it.
The trip home was interesting, we took the LONG way home and went through white sands and Roswell NM. THe sand were fun for the kids and they really enjoyed playing in the sand and making sand angels and burying each other in the sand.
we had a light lunch there and then were on the road again .
Roswell is not as small as the show made it seem but they do like their Aliens .
There were Aliens on the light poles even.
Between white sands and Roswell I think we saw like 20 Catholic Missions. Some were big and grand and others were no more than a one room church. but thy dotted the indian reservation everywhere we looked.
I kept looking for LDS chapels but didn't see any :( I think they are few and far between put there. We were on the road all day and didn't get home till about 1 in the morning just to get up the next day and pretend we never left. My dd's went to a sleep over last night and today is life as normal though I wish it were not.

the road trip
Ok so we started at 830 and thought great we will be there by dinner. we said a prayer for safety and peace before we left. I mean think about it 9 people 1 van and no movies, what is the world coming to. LOL We got a pretty good clip down the road ( we were past pueblo) and something started to rattle. so we pulled over and checked things out and could see NOTHING. so we got back into the car thinking it was a peice of plastic that had just worked loose and fell off when se stopped. got the van going about 40 and the rattle starts again only worse. D thinks is has to be one of the tires so he gets out and takes some things apart and get back in the Van. NOPE not that. so then we take the engine cover off and drive for a while with an exposed engine and Me driving so DH can see what is up under the hood. The rattle is still there but we can't seem to see the problem. Oh and talk about a nail biter, me driving with hot pipes next to my flip flopped foot. YIKES.. Anyway we pull off and put the engine cover back on it isn't in the engine so there is no use in doing that any longer. He checkes the tires again and we are all but sure we have the problem fixed and down the road we go again, NOPE. once again it starts. I am now trying to see if it has something to do with the windshield wipers because it is so loud and annoying and something has to be done. As I am looking dh just happens to touch the ceiling and says it is on the ROOF. Ok now I am thinking our luggage rack is coming loose and we will have to stop again and fix that. We didn't it happened to be tht black plastic lining thing that keeps you windsheild in place. who would have thought. We pop it back in and go on our way. it wokes for a while then pops out again. and we have to stop and put it back. Finally we just stop at a checker buy glue and duct tape and glue the dang thing on and hold it thre with the duct tape. it took almost 2 hours of our trip and put us in Las cruces at 8 instead of 6. Now I am going to go unpack my stuff and go to bed.
I will let you all know how tomorrow goes tomorrow.

WE are off
and as my mom would say " like a terd of Hurtles." we are on out way to a TKD tournament in Las Cruces NM. I am as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs and old ladies. I haven't been doing my Form for very long this is my first tournament and I so suck at sparing. I know I know possitive self talk but I am POSSITIVE that I suck at sparring.
Just Pray for us that we will be calm and have the knowledge to do our very best in all that we do, which includes our demonstration. I took the camera so I hope to be able to get some pics.
