Friday night with my babies

have my little grand daughters tonight and probably for most of tomorrow.
Parents are out partying.
To be young again.

We went to Iowa City for supper and went to Wal-Mart and came home so Keira could ride her bike for a while.
now it is nearly dark and hopefully both girls will be sleeping with in the hour.

Happy weekend everyone!

I forgot to mention…..

I don’t think I have mentioned recently the fun I have at being Nana

From taking the girls to the fair a week ago to boating last weekend….it is so wonderful to share these new things with my baby girls

here they were riding horses at the fair

this is of grandpa and two of my three girls

Mirielle (the back of her head) and Keira facing me

and my happy Kayla on the boat

Life just keeps getting better and better when it comes to being these three beautiful girls Nana.

according to Bob Greene

I am reading a book of Bob Greene’s titled “The Best Life Diet”

For those of you who don’t know who Bob Greene is, he helped Oprah lose weight once several years ago and he is her friend and mentor when it comes to losing weight.

I have another one of his books called “Making  the Connection”

and since I am suffering with the fat blahs I have decided to take his advice and go for it.

In this book that I am reading now…he says there are six foods that should never pass through your lips
Okay, I say never pass through your lips, he said ‘foods one shouldn’t eat”

and the list is
Pop

Trans fats (popcorn, cookies, french fries)

fat yogurt

whole milk (one percent or skim is best)

fried foods

white bread.

Well let me tell you I got three out of three.
I don’t drink any kind of milk but skim milk,

I do however drink pop, which I will stop
I never eat white bread always whole wheat and I do eat low fat yogurt

I like french fries  and I like fried potatoes and fried chicken although I rarely eat either of those.

I eat pop corn at the movie theaters

I will need to check out what all trans fats include.
I have way more sugar then I should so I need to cut that out too.

anyway I know I need to do something and the book is really interesting…..so hopefully if I can get this to work……and get better working out physically….

hopefully I can lose some weight.

hump day

well we are sitting on Wednesday late afternoon now.
the week has gone by fast but that is probably because I have been so busy at work.

I am blue and compensate by stuffing my fat face with food.
Ugh.
I hate myself but I can’t seem to stop shoveling food in my face.

I feel like a fat cow.
Ugh

change of heart…..

I use to say to people if I run away look for me in Montana.
But I think I have changed my mind.
If I run away and you want to find me look for me in Moeb Utah!!!

I’m here but I want to be there…….

I want to be here!!!!

my mind can not get the beauty of this state out of my mind.
I drive home from work and see high fluffy clouds and I can imagine the beautiful mountains in Utah and wish with a deep yearning to be there again.
I must vacation there next year again.
I JUST MUST!!!!!

slow but sure

I am slowly making head way on the cleaning at work.
Less then four weeks until school starts and really there is only three weeks before the teachers get back so I am trying to hussle a lot to get it done.
I am really tired though.
And yes I am old too.

I wish I could find another job that pays this well because I would leave this job in a heart beat.
But alas….I will probably be here until I retire.
Darn it.

it’s been awhile

well I did it.
It has been a while since I could find ten topics to write about on this sight in one day
I just did it.
This being number ten!

it is nine pm and although I feel tired I should shower really quickly and wash the dirt and grime off of me before I crawl into bed.

I hope everyone had a great Monday and that their week is full of wonderful promises and good health

Top five today

I haven’t done a top five in a while so here goes.

Number 5- Monday is over with for another week!!!

Number 4- I have my health and am very thankful for it

Number 3- it was a beautiful cool day

Number 2- I worked out in the yard tonight (one of my favorite things to do)

and the number one for today is——

I got to see Keira and Kayla today!!!!

Turning 30

My nephew  Wayne (pictured here) is turning 30 tomorrow.
My daughter Paula (also pictured here) turned 30 in March.

I don’t know about my sister but I had a very hard time knowing my oldest child was turning 30
I don’t have a problem being 48 years old.
I have always felt one is only as young as they feel.
And most of the time I feel like I am right around 30 myself.
But to have my child turn 30, even four months later is painful for me.
Am I getting old or what?????
