Huh. Time flies right? Somehow I managed to fast forward an entire year. Let me catch you up to speed:
Everyone’s a year older. Life goes on.
Obviously, that means it’s the same old, same old. Which is pretty true. I now have a 9 year old who’s in fourth grade. A 6 year old in the first grade. And a 2 year old who’s potty trained and potty mouthed. Life goes on.
It’s funny how in the last entry I made mention of writing a book. Yea, I tried that. Didn’t go well. However, ironically enough I have that same urge right now and I’m about 10,000 written words into a novel. It’s never going to win a Pulitzer but it’s a start. I’m averaging a page or two each day and I’d like to think I continue with it. Even if I write it for my eyes only, at least I can say I completed it right? I’ll be sure and make an blog entry when I’m famous.
I go through spurts of creativity. I think that’s why I’m here blogging right now. Sometimes I just can’t get enough words on a page. I simply love hitting these keys and saying something. Anything. It’s refreshing and leaves me wanting to do something fantastic with my life. Published author? Not yet. Published blogger? But of course!
So here I am a year after my last entry and my life hasn’t changed much. I’m still nutty, surrounded by boys, and wishing I was sitting on a tropical beach, twenty pounds lighter, with a fruity drink in hand. Life is an ever evolving process. Yea right. More like, same shit, different day.
Mid-August? How’d that happen?
August 22, 2007 by pgsahm
I needed a kick in the pants. I got it when someone finally commented on my blog (thank you!!!). Here I am today. Hopefully I’m back up and running but do not hold your breath as I have a tendency to get bored easily. A day or two of blogging at a time is sometimes enough for me. A bit ADD I guess.
This summer has flown. Although there have been a handful of days that have felt like 5 weeks long. School was out mid-June, July was a month that sorta disappeared suddenly, and now August is the month where we’re gearing up for school yet again. Yay! (to put it mildly.) !!!!!
The boys are at each others’ throats constantly. Therefore I am either at their throats constantly, or holding a glass of wine. I prefer the wine. 10:00 in the morning is a bit early though. I’m hoping that once school starts they will stop being big weinies and act nice. I should probably stock up on wine again.
The day after Labor Day is the first day of school. C will be entering kindergarten (or is that Kindergarten?). B will be a third grader. Holy crap. D is still my baby. No school for him for many more years. Can you believe he’ll be 18 months old next month!??! Holy crap part deux.
I don’t remember the last time I updated on my weight loss. So here’s a recap:
May was the starting point. It was difficult. June was over the hump therefore a bit easier. July was party central therefore very difficult and the end of my weight loss. Ha! I lasted 6 weeks counting points every day. I lost 12 pounds. I was damn proud of myself considering that was the lowest weight I’d been in years. I’ve been off the wagon for 6 or 7 weeks now and everyday is still a struggle. BUT the good thing is I am still drinking a lot of water and I’ve managed to keep off a solid 10 pounds! Regardless of how crappy my eating has been lately I HAVE succeeded! 10 pounds is a shitload of fat.
With the new school year around the corner (it’s kind of my New Year’s) I am hoping to fall back into counting WW points again more religiously. And walking. I have a goal of 100,000 steps while exercising. Currently I’m up to a little over 20,000. I hope to accomplish that goal by the end of September. Fingers crossed!
Now that you’re updated on my so called life it’s time to wrap it up. Thanks for reading and hopefully I’ll be back soon enough.
