The Summer That (Almost) Wasn't

June 8th--Last day of school

June 12--Chasity had pneumonia

June 28--Chasity had an ear infection

July 8--Dad was rushed to ER (overnight in hospital--congestive heart failure)

July 11-26--Working at daycare for Mom to take Dad to doctor's appointments

July 18--Chasity had double ear infection

July 31--Only 27 days until school starts (for kids)--13 for me!

This is crazy.  With all of this going on, we haven't had a vacation.  We haven't gone swimming.  She hasn't had a single one of the softball lessons we had lined up.  This is crazy! 

We have a paid trip to Hilton Head waiting on us (3 nights/4 days).  We can't leave town long enough to go.  Mom doesn't really have anyone else who will put up with the kids at the daycare so that she can be out to take Dad where he needs to go.  There are other people who help when they can, but I'm the only one that drops everything to go. 

So.... I guess we will go to Tweetsie one Saturday soon....before October.  Then we will have Hilton Head for Spring Break or next summer. We have ONE YEAR to use it!  Maybe no one will fall about next year. 

This has been the summer that (almost) wasn't.  LOL

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
