Happy 100 days!
Today is Christopher's 100 days at school party day! I was asked to make the cupcakes last week, and I am so hapy with the way my little plan worked to make little "100s" on them! He was very happy to help and they turned out perfect! I hope him and his classmates enjoy them today! Gosh I cant believe my little man has been in school for 100 days now! So very weird! He is doing great though and I couldnt be more proud of him!
Happy 100 Days Christopher!
xoxo~Mommy!

Lets take a moment..
And welcome back my blog buddy Amanda! I have been worried about you! ;) Welcome back to the blogger world! LOL!
Anyhow the house is a no go. I dont even want to get into the whole dramatic unfolding of events, but its not going to happen. Matter of fact we arent even in the position to LOOK at houses now until ours sells. So until it does, I am...I mean, WE are stuck with no game plan for the future. God help us!!
My jewelry party is also a bust. I didnt get near the response I thought I would get so with a sad heart I cancelled it yesterday. I still have to call the whopping 2 people who said they are coming. Bleh! What a freaking let down! :(
I didnt get a lot of sleep last night and I am feeling pretty rough and low today, so I have decided to skip the gym. I hate doing it, but I had to get stuff done tonight and I just know my body cant take the workout tonight. Better luck tomorrow.
I was chosen to make the cupcakes for Christopher's pre-k class for the 100 days party, and they turned out really cute. I made little 100s on the top of them using cut up twizlers pull and peels for 1s and gummy savers for the 0s. I of course forgot to take a picture of them before wrapping them up so now I am trying to decide whether or not I want to unwrap them to do so. LOL.
Well it was another lonely boring day here at the house with nothing else to report on. Hope you all have a better day than myself.
Until tomorrow!

Good morning!
Another Monday...
Busy weekend this weekend, we decided to do more than just sit around the house.
Friday was a beautiful day of 63* and sunny. So I took the opportunity to clean up my island in the back yard. I moved all the rocks and raked all the old mulch out of it, vacuumed the pond out and cleaned all the grass and weeds out of the area. Then I took the kids to home depot and got some new red mulch for the island and came home and spread it out and put the rock border back and filled the pond with fresh water. I must say that even though it is barren from not having any plants really in it (or in season if they are), the island looks a million times better!
Saturday we decided to go look at houses. My mom and Joey actually babysat laci and christopher for us for the 4 hours we were gone and that made it so much easier! We looked at 10 houses, including one from last year that has gone from owned to forclosed on that I am in love with. We hated 8 of the 10 houses. The one from last year is now at a crazy 128,900 and I have never felt such love for a home. I think I would do anything for it in the world. We are attempting a contingent offer on it today but we are 99.99% sure they wont take it, which only makes me seriously want to cry as it is 100000% the home I want to grow old in. :( I cannot stop thinking about this house all day and night. If any of you can, please send a prayer that we get the offer accepted today!!! ***ohpleaeohpleaseohpleaseohplease* If we had the money and our house sold we would have bought it saturday. Thats how much we love this house!!
So yesterday was pretty dull. I skipped the gym all 3 days because I have 3 swollen painful lumps in the back of my neck. They are getting better and of course I was terrified when they first emerged, but I think I pulled a muscle really bad when I scooped up Topher off the trampoline when he got hurt last week, and the pain is the muscle and the lumps are my lymph nodes. So I rested this weekend but I am back at the gym tonight.
Well this whole week christopher is off at 12 noon so I need to get going and try to get some stuff done. I hope you all enjoy your Monday!

Happy Friday everyone!
Finally, FRIDAY!
Today will still be semi slow but I have Christopher home with me today. He asked if he could stay home due to the swelling in his face. The swelling in his face is from either the knee or shoe of the neighbor's boy. Yesterday the 3 boys were playing on the trampoline and I guess christopher fell and the oldest boy was already in the air and couldnt stop and came down on his face. :( I was afraid at first that he had fractured his eye socket. Luckily it looks like that isnt the case and its just a nasty black eye with some pretty good swelling. Poor guy. I swear he is going to give me grey hair before I am 30! I know it!!
Anyhow I may go to my friend Jesse's house today if she is up for company. I also am going to call my realtor and see if we can look at a house or 2 tomorrow. That would be fun.
I have lost 3 pounds now, which isnt bad in 12 day. :) I also am feeling the healthy aspects of the workouts as well. I got froggy last night and decided to go an extra night to the gym and I am paing for it in my thighs right now, but I will be going again tonight no matter what! :) I am doing so good! I love it!! :)
Well I am off for coffee and breakfast! Its friday so I will treat myself to a peanut butter and jelly this morning! :D
Have a wonderful friday!

What a truly beautiful day...
I cant tell you how many times I cried yesterday, or how many times I told someone how happy I was, but I can tell you that for the first real time in my life I was 100% truly PROUD to be in America. We have such a long road to recovery if it will ever be the same, but for now, for last night, all that was cast aside to raise two fingers in a "V" and hug someone!! What an amazing day we had as a whole. I have never witnessed that much love simply oozing from Americans to one another. And I am so greatful that my kids were here to witness this great change in history. We all need to work together to do what we can in the coming years to show how much and how easy it can be to love one another as a common ground of being US citizens. I am still in awe I think and slightly love blind, lol.
As for my personal life, it has been pretty slow. Last Saturday me and Brian did get away for a few hours and we went to see the Bodies Exhibition at Atlantic Station. It was so amazing! It only enforced my driving need to enter into the medical field and I left almost speechless. You were not allowed to take pictures so sadly I dont have any to show you. :( It was so amazing and so artisticly done though, that I will be going back next month with Joey and Christopher. They both want to see it and after previewing it myself I am confident that it will not be too much for Topher. So we are excited about that. After the exhibit, we went and browsed around IKEA for a few hours and that was fun and relaxing. And I even resisted the amazing cinnamon rolls there! (anyone who has been to an IKEA knows exactly what I am talking about!)
Anyhow there is not much going on otherwise though. Just home, gym, clean, sleep, repeat for the most part. There isnt anything special planned for this weekend, but next weekend is my Jewelry party, so that should be fun!
Well, I must go for now, Laci is waking up and I am cold and in need of some pants! ha!
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Hump Day
Its wednesday! Yay! The week only goes down from here! Woohoo!
Today is the day my mom comes home and Joey goes home after school. I will miss him so much. I cant wait til we live closer so I can see him more often. I was so sad when I seen all his stuff gone when I got up this morning.
Tonight I am hitting the gym! I am excited and ready for it! I also get a friend there too. A guy named Gerami that Brian works with works out there too and is going to help me on some arm machines tonight. :) It will be nice to not feel so alone there and on occassion maybe he will work out with me to keep me company. I am glad that I am doing so well there though. I am really pumped and doing so good on my food choices (we dont call it a diet around here) and my exercising. I am already feeling very confident in my ability to lose the weight I want by summer. My goal by July 1st is 40 pounds! eek! But I will be happy with 30. :) But I am not slacking off at all! Go me! Go me!
Anyhow its another quiet day with me and laci and I am off here in a minute to play some more with her. She is silly today.
Well it will be so cold tomorrow night! We are expecting 11*!!!! I dont think I have ever felt 11*! Wow! But better that than the 40 below they are having up north! Brrr!!!
Ok, I am off to get my day going some more. I love you all! Have a blessed wednesday!

Tuesday Morning...
Let me start by saying
I LOVE MY GYM! :)
Ok now the resoning behind that little outburst is this; I have such a good time working out there and love the environment so much that even crampy with a headache I managed to get my sweat on last night and when I left you know what went through my mind? "Oh crap. Now I have to wait til wednesday to come back"! I was *actually* upset that I have a wait before I can make my way back there again! How off the wall is that?!? So there you go, I love my gym! :) This weekend I am going to get an actual gym bag together for myself so I can carry extra waters and stuff to freshen up with after as well as any thing else I may need there. :) Oh and a lock, so far I am playing my luck on not having anything stolen from a purse in an unlocked locker. Eeek!
So it is Tuesday. Joey is doing great with us. He has decided he would rather stay here tonight than at his friend Alex's house which is sweet. He has been fun to have an I hope we move closer to that area soon so we can spend more time with him. :)
We started bringing all of our stuff back last night from my moms house. We are goig to try and do a truckload a day until it is all back and organized against the wall in our garage and potential buyers will just have to overlook it all.
The house is priced well now, or should I say finally, and even Brians grandfather wants us to make arrangements to start looking at homes again because he is confident that we will end up without a home if we dont. So thats a good sign if the main man in charge thinks we are going to sell quickly now. I am trying to put myself in the mindframe that this is the first year we are truly selling the house b/c last year was more of a bad test run. We are now at 134,500 and that is a fantastic price and actually lower than some of the more recent sales in the neighborhood. We still have some things against us like the open floor plan upstairs and the hill in the back yard but its a good price nonetheless. The woman who seen the house this weekend loved the house a lot, but has twin 5 year old boys and the loft and back yard scared her at their ages. The house she seen right after ours she fell in love with and made an offer. I have to say congrats to that seller as you never know how long they have been waiting too. I know ours will come. It has to now! **fingers crossed everyone!**
Anyhow Topher is back at school and today I have some normal down time. I will probably go get Joey after school and not make Brian do it.
Hope you all have a great day!
I LOVE MY GYM! :)

Oh Monday...how I missed thee!
Yes, for the first time in blog history you seen that right! I am so glad its monday!!!
What a weekend! oy!
So Saturday at midnight (think friday night overnight) our house dropped in price for the start of the new year. We are now and will be listed for now until June at 134,500! Well the ink hadnt dried yet and we had our first showing booked for Saturday at 1:00. Ok so rewind a bit. First Brian had decided spur the moment that he was going to take Christopher to the Monster Jam truck show at the Dome Saturday night. We found out they were sold out and people were scalping the tickets badly on Craigslist and Ebay. So I made and ad on craigslist asking for some at a resonable price and within an hour we got a call from a man who said he had 2 tickets in the 100s section and row 7. (frikkin amazing seats) he wanted 100 for the pair and brian talked him into 50. They agreed to meet in Jasper (35 mins north) and do a pickup there. Well Brian packs the kids up in the freezing cold and drives out there only to be stood up and the guy never even answered his phone again. What a dirty s.o.b! >:(
Anyhow on Brians drive back (and while I am blissfully unaware of the drama unfolding at the Gym) he gets a call from our realtor that someone wants to see the house. So he rushes home to start working on it. (and with Christopher still blissfully unaware as to what he missed by the dirtbag since we knew better than to say anything til tickets were in hand). Well my mom and I were suppossed to go to a Jewelry Party at 2:00 (that my mom remembered to ask me if I wanted to go the day before the event, *sigh*), well she calls my phone (that Brian had) and lets him know its at 1:00 and not 2:00! Luckily he gets home and I am already there with a bad headache and can help him clean the house up instead of showering and getting ready for the party. So we finally finish just at 1:00. He takes the kids to lunch at McDonalds and I meet my mom (late) to go to the party. (Still in my gym clothes! ick!) Brian gets home at 2:20 and is just in the door with the kids when the door bell rings and its the realtor late! Poor Brian! So he has to leave again.
Anyhow the showing was great, they were here for 30 minutes which is a huge showing and I am happy. The party was fun (turns out we were early since the party was at 2:00 afterall) and so fun I am having one myself on the 31st of this month! :) Yay! So that was Saturday!
Sunday we got up and went to my moms to get Joey and see david off. Well turns out he had asked if he could live with us for a week or so. But I wanted to help David by offering a place to stay for a Month were he could catch up on his bills and have a nice normal life away from all the nonsence here at our house and I could help with Brian to guide him into adulthood, since he has no idea what being an adult is. I say that just because someone is old enough to be recognized as an adult does NOT mean that they are one. But after some odd conversation and what seemed like pulling a tooth, David made it quite clear to me that he is not able to be helped by me. I sucked up my dignity and gave him back the grocery money and wished him well. I have no clue if he is at my moms house and honestly after the things I came to realize yesterday quite frankly could care less. I am not my mom's bouncer and I am done being a doormat for people. My feelings are done being trampled and I am shocked to see some of the things I seen. So shocked I am embarassed to even put them here in my safe place. I will keep them safer...in my heart. :(
Anyhow Joey is with us and we love having him. Brian is taking him to school right now. Christopher is having some bad phlegm issues today so I kept him home for safe measures. But tomorrow its back to school no matter what. Laci has to get back on a nap schedual today since she didnt take one all weekend, and tonight I am working out again! All the stress form yesterday sent me into my monthly a whole week early which is very upsetting to me. But at least it will be over! :) My mom is in Vegas til wednesday I think, honestly I have no clue and we will have Joey til Wednesday morning.
Well I am off to check my email and catch up online before starting my day! Who knows, maybe I will have another showing today! :)
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
love to you all!
Robin
Also Grandma and Grandpa I have tried to call a few times but seem to always miss you. I have been worried about you both. I will call again today during Laci's nap. I love you!
What a weekend! oy!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
love to you all!
Robin
Also Grandma and Grandpa I have tried to call a few times but seem to always miss you. I have been worried about you both. I will call again today during Laci's nap. I love you!

Needing some Prayers...
Yesterday, Brian's uncle Mike's mother Martha fell and broke her hip and leg. On the same day Martha's sister, Hilda, found out she has Caner of the stomach.
Please lend a prayer to both of these ladies for full recoveries!! They will both need all the prayers they can get!
Thank you all so much!

Its Freaking Friday! Yay!
So Brian stayed home from work yesterday taking his first ever sick day for himself in his life I think. It was nice in a way though to have a long quiet day with just him and Laci. But brian gets the caged animal effect really really fast and by the end of the day it was ME who needed to sleep and rest and get the heck away from him! Geeze! Men!! But all in all it was still nice to have him home all day.
Christopher is missing school today. Now he is sick and has had me up with him all night long. Ummmm I am suppossed to starting a new gym tonight!! Sabotagers! All of them!! Yes my nose is a bit runny this morning but I dont care!!! I am NOT sick again, I am GOING to sign up at my gym and I am NOT going to take sickness as an answer to anything going wrong! bleh!
LOL
So laci already had whatever this thing is, and I was sick first after New Years, so hopefully this is the same thing and I wont get it again. It seems to be pretty mild, whatever it is. Lasting only a few days and not being severe at all during the day. Christopher gets choked up easy at night when he has a lot of phlegm (sorry morning TMI) and I also accidently gave him something with Psuedophenedrine in it last night which he cannot take because it keeps him from sleeping. So tonight will already be better than last night b.c I wont make the same mistake twice!
Welp, it is Friday! Fabulous Friday!
I have to got his morning and get more water and pick up a few things at ye old GNC. Then this afternoon I have a playdate at Jesse's house (assuming she is ok with runny noses at her house) and then tonight I am meeting Brian at the LAF! Yay! What a big glorious day it is! :)
Hope you all have a fantastic day as well!
Love you all!

Thursday it is...
Good morning ladies and germs! :) (honestly I have no clue what that joke means but it works, lmao)
So it is Thursday and either tomorrow or Saturday I get to start at my new gym!! YAY!!! Now I know I may be coming across a bit spoiled and bratty about wanting to go here, but I swear I challenge anyone to come in and smell my gym alone and you would want to switch too...especially if it was only 4.99 a month difference in payments along with no contract. Its like I told the manager at LAF, I can go to either gym and get the job done. I am not going to magically lose weight in his gym opposed to Cosmos. However, when I am not only afraid for my safety, but also my health...well...it becomes more of a "need" issue rather than *just* a "want" issue. Of course when you see so many happy people working out who are friendlier and are taking care of the machines and cleaning them after using them (i witnessed 3 accounts of this in a mere moment of looking around from the upper level of the gym) you feel more inspired. I want to be inspired. And at my delapidated, stinky (and I mean wow), dirty gym with just a few tired looking patrons and some meat heads at the weights, you feel less inspired. Its dark and dreery and just not perky at all.
So thats my long explaination to prove to everyone (and I guess even myself) that I am not being a spoiled brat by wanting the bigger and better. I mean really, sfter all, it is so very rare that I put myself and my "wants" first on the table that I almost have this sence of entitlement. *sigh* Oh well, that what it is.
Anyhow I have woken up with a pounding headache. I am updating on here then heading down to get some coffee, 1500 mgs of tylenol, and a few baby sausage biscuts. yum! :)
Not much going on today. Tomorrow I am going to my friend Jesse's after I pick up Christopher from school. Brian is sick as hell with Allergies or a cold, and Laci isnt sleeping very well again...my guess is because its hard to get wore out in the house due to rain all the freaking time! Speaking of the rain, the heavy rain and wind yesterday ruined our bench swing outside. The whole awning on it is shredded. :( I am sad to see it go. I bought it when I had Laci so I could swing her on me outside in the warm spring air to help with her jaundice. Wahhh!
Welp have a glorious day!
:)

Happy Hump Day Peeps!
So its wednesday, the big hump in my week. Better than Monday for sure and we may possibly *gasp* see the sun this afternoon! We were under a tornado watch yesterday afternoon and it was so hot it was awful! The house was a sticky humid mess and I was unable to sleep hardly at all. I feel like I have been hit by a dump truck this morning and my eyes are like sandpaper! Bleh!
Christopher's first day back went without issue for him and he was happy to see his friends again. It was not so easy for me. Laci was not in the mood for entertaining herself at all and I was very tired and frustrated by the end of the night. Hopefully today will be better and I will set realistic goals for myself as to time I have to do things I want to do and time I need to spend with Laci. Its hard to get back into routine.
Still no word on LAF. The owner from cosmos has yet to return the 5 calls and messages now left between myself and Brian and I am getting mad. I really hope I can end this contract without problems and start by this weekend at LAF. Thats my big goal! I would love to start fresh this weekend in a great new gym! :) If not, its off to the dark dirty dreery hole in the wall gym anyhow b/c I have a LOT of weight I need to lose. It finally dawned on me that it wasnt until I lost Cheyenne that I started stress and emotion eating. I had never done that before and hopefully can work towards breaking this odd unhealthy addiction before it kills me. To be totally honest I have gained about 15 pounds in the last 6 months instead of losing it and I am now over 215 pounds. :( But I am determined that this is the year I get it off! Its time! :) So there is my dirty secret. It feels good getting that out on here and off my chest. whew!
So anyhow, things are great with me and Brian. We are looking foward to our date next weekend to see the Bodies Exhibition in Atlanta and I will finally get to see the much talked about Atlantic Station! Woot! :) We are already doing well with our resolution to spend more time on us and getting back to the "Boyfriend/Girlfriend Basics"! :)
Hope you all have a great day! I am off to have breakfast and then make a to-do list of things we need to do around the house before our first open house of '09 this month and catch up on my recorded shows! :)
Smile!

Tuesday is so lonely...
Christopher is back at school for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks, Brian is spending the first full week at work in almost 3 weeks, its raining again, and my Grandpa isnt doing so well again... *sigh*
However, I am proud of my Aunt who I hear is doing well at the gym and will surely give me a run for my money this year in the sexy-off! ;) Good job Aunt Chrissy! Keep up the good work! I know you can do it!! :)
Well I have a ton to do today but have a case of the eff-its, so I am being lazy-ish. I went to LAF last night and its awesome!! But Cosmos owner wont call me back and there are some other fees at the gym that are a bit expensive so I may have to suck it up and finish the next year at Cosmos and try to put the awesome clean cool new LA Fitness out of my head somehow. :(
Oh well, its a blah day but I am sure I will perk up soon enough. I didnt really get a good workout in last night as it was more of a tour than anything so I may go to the cosmos tonight and tomorrow night to stay on track.
Have a wonderful afternoon

My goal for today....
I have been with cosmos on and off for over 7 years now. Cosmos is my gym. I am becoming more and more disgusted by the way the machines and full gym seem to be going down the drain. Its gross, smelly, unclean, equipment seems half broken, some have paint missing and rust spots to where my hands smell like iron after I am done using them, the other day I had to take a pin with me for weights to 3 different machines to use them as the other pins were gone, and many pads are damaged or gone completely now.
Anyhow I am thinking of joining the big brand new L.A Fitness across the street from them as I am ready for something clean and new. (and a change of view as well) There is only a 5.00 a month difference and I think I would be really happy there. I have an appointment tonight with John who is the manager there and if I like it enough I will continue on my quest to break my contract early with Cosmos after serving only a year of my new 2 year agreement. I hate the fact that you have to have a contract with them but you dont at LAF. So hopefully it will work out.
I called already and spoke to a manager at Cosmos and she said she cant do anything for me but claims to understand my dilemma. She put me through to the owners mailbox who is now out of the office for the day to try and see what I can get done.
Wish me luck!

My first posts of 2009!
Hello! And welcome to 2009!!!
Let me start by saying that my brother Joey is an awesome kid and I cannot still thank him enough for giving me and Brian a New Years Eve to remember forever! :)
It seems like eons ago that I was on here preparing for the new year and now its here! Wednesday went all wrong at first. My schedual went down the drain and I found myself struggling to accomplish anything all day long. I did get Joey (late) from his girlfriends house, and on the way home I had one hour to leave the house to get brian on time after work. Well, then there was an accident on 575N so we took the back way off Sixes road home. Coming up on our neighborhood I came into a police check stop. I was later given a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt...luckily everyone else was so I was only out a lecture and 15.00.
Then I decided to save myself trouble and just order pizza for the kids and got ready to go. I left 2 mins earlier than I had a goal of and was so excited...til I realized I left my camera at home! 20 mins later and getting stressed I had Joey put the camera and batteries outside for me. I went and got Brian and we headed down. We got a bit lost as usual and I got a text 30 mins late for the time frame from Joey saying the pizza wasnt there yet. So I called and freaked out on the manager who told me the pizza I ordered online they dont actually sell anymore and that they tried one number (my old phone) but not the other one (my new phone) and simply cancelled the order. So after 20 mins on the phone with her she was sending 2 new pizzas out at 1/2 price. I agreed and hung up. 40 mins later I get a call from Joey saying the guy was there and the pizza was not paid for. (Like I originally did online) so I got on the phone with him and flipped out and then he called the manager and she said just to leave it that it was free. (the soda I had ordered Joey also wasnt included in the new order) ugh! So Joey and the kids were fed and it was time to start the night.
It was FREEZING! It was only in the upper 20s and windy. Thankfully we had a blanket in the truck that is usually used by Christopher so we took it into underground with us. It wasnt too bad crowded until about 9pm. We ate dinner at waffle house next to the peach and I gave our waitress some of my beads. :)
We didnt drink anything but soda dn coffee all night and we were happy we made that choice yesterday morning! ha! The peach drop was awesome and I would do it again but change quite a few things in the schedual to do so...and getting a hotel nearby wouldnt hurt either! ;)
When the countdown was done they lit fireworks and a million pieces of confetti was released and the band (Julianne Hough from Dancing with the Stars) cranked back up and me and Brian shared a kiss! :) It was just as I imagined it would be! What a way to kick off the new year!
Yesterday we were up early and I made waffles and eggs for breakfast and we got Joey home. We worked on the house all day and changed the bedroom back around and turned our walk in closet into a mini office which is where I am sitting now tyoing this all up.
I wasnt online yesterday or this morning because I am sick. I dont know if its a cold or allergies, but I am sick as can be and looking foward to Brian coming home so I can go to bed at 6:45 tonight!
Hope you all had a magical New Years Eve and we are ready for a rockin' 2009!
*cheers!*
Love you all!
