Happy Easter.... a little late

I guess it's better late than never, right?

HAPPY EASTER!

Spring Break started here on Friday.... Good Friday. 

The day care was also closed, so the Princess and I didn't even have to set an alarm!  IT WAS AWESOME! 

She's out all this week.  That means NO ALARMS all week!  So nice!

It also means that when she goes back to school on April 24, there are only 34 days of school left!

You all know how I love my countdowns!  (Yes! I still do them...even though I'm not in a classroom full time!) I may even put it up on the wall in the house.... this has been a tough school year!

Anyways.... Saturday, we went to a few yard sales. Then we went to find the Princess a semiformal dress for some stuff she has coming up.

Sunday, EASTER, we went to church. Since everyone was all dressed for Easter, the pastor had it set up for one of the ladies at church to take pictures of families. Since my parents and my sister and brother (and all most of our kids) were there, my mom decided we were going to have the picture taken together. It took a while (forever, maybe) but we finally got all 17-18 of us in there together on the church steps.

After the pictures, we all went mom and dad's house for lunch. Cookout.... hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill!  The littles "hunted" eggs. (Is it really hunting if they are in the open yard or right where you can see them?)

The rest of us just sat around watching the Braves game and part of a basketball game. (I have no clue who was playing.)


Monday and today have been lazy days. Tomorrow.... we need to start getting stuff done.

The Princess still has to get businesses to donate for her Silver Award. We still have to get all that together and ready for the event in September. 

I'm going to be setting up a Wish List soon for the Better to Give project from church. Be looking for that.... it will be a great way (EASY WAY) for you to help us out!


I hope you all had a HAPPY EASTER!!!!

What did you do for Easter this year?

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 ...
