WW will be a Staple here now~ To Go or Not to Go to Wrestling..whats a Wrestling Widow I mean...Coach's Wife to do?
Its Official...I'm a full pledge Member of Weight Watchers.(Which I'll call it WW now b.c. I don't want to type it out all the time..and I feel probably I'll be talking bout this journey a lot. weight in my life has always been a big part..and so I'm sure It will spill on to my blog too) Wow... I have a lot of anxiety about it. Not only just for the sole reason I have never actually been on a real diet...but the fact that I will go once a week and "weigh in"... oh this will be fun...so I signed up yesterday online and I thought...I'm officially a fat girl and I'm in the process of doing something about it... and I will be going to meetings on Tuesday at 5:30 whoever may want to join me Please do! I'm very excited! Although I have been binging all week...
For these past 2 days I have been looking at recipes on WW site..looking at the "points value" and all that... I don't think this lifestyle will be unmanageable..but there will be some obstacles. I would like just to follow the food system and know what I can eat. I will try not to put anything in my mouth that I don't know the points for. I'm horrible at exercising lately..well lately meaning the last 23 years of my life...I always have the best of intentions of doing it...summer I'm so much better at it..but winter...not so great. I have a elliptical...(which honestly I think every fat girl has a piece of equipment that they bought to cure them of their fatness and ended up using it for only a few months)...but I have that and I have the Wii..which low and behold..I still need to get a balance board for... jeez..I'm already ahead of the game..
So Jake has a big wrestling tourney this weekend..and it is always so packed..so I'm for sure not going Friday...and Saturday is a big iffy too...I don't know why but Jake likes me to go for I don't know what reason... what my presence does there?? Who knows...I would think I am more stressful b.c. I'm always asking him to do something when he does come talk to me...Its easy going to wrestling..i have cousins and a brother that wrestles...so thats fun..but Van Buren..is horrible..people are practically sitting on top of each other.although I'm pretty sure they let coaches wifes in for free..which sadly yes thats a big positive for me...I'm thinking I might go to Finals..I have never drove that far by myself...and I think I am going to try this Saturday depending on how much laundry and cleaning I get done at home and Saturday morning..
Well..I have things to do..I'll get back with you! :)

weekend update.snowsuit happiness.ending it Dreaded words
so the weekend was a great one...nothing over the top..just a good ole weekend...Friday..we went to wrestling..we didn't get home till really late...Stuart didn't get in bed till after Midnight...he slept in till 930 10am...so nice ;)..I haven't slept in like that in a long time!!.. Me Jess Sondra Colt went to Megan's and cut all of our hair...Sondra was so funny. her hair looks much better and i swear it lays better...it wasn't as matted and frizzy this morning since using a product she gave us to put in her hair when its wet... then later that day me Jake and the kids went grocery shopping to Sams Club and Walmart...and I found the need to go crazy... lol..1st off...shopping for me is stressful... I refuse to do it without Jake anymore..2 kids and Walmart or Sams..just doesn't mix for me anymore since Stuart not being in a infant seat so he has to sit in a cart and Sondra..its a mess...one positive thing though is: I have a awesome talented Cousin Tracy sending me one of those cart covers where I can attach toys to it and it will keep Stuart occupied in stores now..its amazing what happens when you just ask..ta boot its homemade so It will be so much better and have such a sentimental value and I'll be able to use with all my kids... I love homemade things...
Also..I have had a snowsuit dilemma... so I had a 3-6 month one..and as you know i have a 20lb 6month old he has grown very fast...but it didn't really matter until he moved out of his infant seat...anyways.. he have this Tigger one that although cute and was a garage sale item..I couldn't with Good conscious keep him in just because the whole Winnie the pooh thing bothers me..b.c it is so over done..lol.. just ask my Sis in Law Kayla who works in a daycare..she hates it..but to top it off..it was very difficult to get him into b.c. the was tight on his legs and very hard to get his legs in the feet...so we had been putting him into Sondra's old one when she was a baby...her Pink One.. lol.. well..we looked at it as we didn't have to buy it..and although too big for him..it was easier to put him into..well..we quickly found out it was way to big for him b.c. the zippers were rubbing his chin and made it uncomfortable... about much discussion..(it is sad we discussed our options and all that over a snowsuit..does it make us responsible or crazy)..I decided on Sunday I would run to town and look for something else..Off me and Kayla went.. first stop BabiesRus..not one snowsuit there...then to Kohls...only Winnie the pooh..I couldn't do that to Kayla!...and so off to the mall.. went to Children's place..they only had light blue 29.99 (pricey but push come to shove if I had I would)..I'm not a huge fan of Lt Blue b.c it would get so dirty!... so then to BabyGap..a little too pricey!...then I thought lets go to Penny's..low and behold...they stole my heart as usual...I got him a cute dark blue one with a football helmet on it for get this 14.99..org. price 49.99 its the okie dokie brand (mom's I know what a great deal) and also I got him his winter coat for next year same brand for 9.97 org. price 49.99...I was so proud when I looks at my receipt and it said you saved 75.02!...there are never many times I'm proud of my receipt..but baby was I yesterday!I wish I had an endless supply of money..b.c. I could have done some damage to that store yesterday on clothes for my kid's alone.. also leads me to another thing
being at the mall yesterday I didn't once think of myself to buy shirts or anything like that...and that all comes down to b.c. I'm overweight..I know this sounds dumb...but I never really realized I was over weight till a while after Sondra was born..and I looked in my closet and I had boughten a lot of shoes...not any new clothing..just shoes...its b.c. I don't get excited anymore about trying on stuff...I just get disappointed in how the clothes look on me..I wasn't really a good dresser before I had this "post baby belly" and now...I'm not really sure how to dress to my advantage with it... it gets to be frustrating and ultimately I give up and say..I'd rather be happy and fat...also Jake has always told me He would love me regardless the way I looked..I remember after Sondra..Jake has always been supportive of my "body Image".. whether I say I'm going to try this ____ or being OK with me not doing anything bout it...He has always loved me and what I look like.... but its me that don't love it.. and I don't want to be supper skinny..I'd rather be around the weight I was before I had Sondra...or really just shedding some inches..Its not about a number so much as to a look..so as we speak..I'm contemplating joining weight watchers..asking questions and seeing who will join with me..b.c. its always better to go into it with more than just you..so..I'll let you know what I do..I'm just motivated..I have stopped a lot of "bad habits" and now I think I am ready to tackle this!... wish me luck and pray for me to figure out how I want to go about doing this! :)
well I have got to be going! Love- Me

Friday! :)
Lately I can't get enough of Tran's music... just wonderful....his voice. I'm so ready for 4 to come around...work with me has a love hate relationship... Lately...Sondra breaks my heart in the morning..when I wake her up..She'll say..where we going Momma?..I tell her to Amanda's and then I'll pick you up... and she says...can't you just stay home with me??... aww... I break a little.. its not that she don't like going to Amanda's..b.c. if you tell her your not going to go there no more..she'll cry..but if she had a choice of what she really wants it would be stay at home with Mommy...and more than anything I would love to do that... but right now..financially that don't make sense to do. and the more I think about it...my job doesn't require me to bring it home with me...I leave it there..its mindless stuff I deal with...biggest complaint would be people general...it just baffles me I interact with a lot of people a day.. whether in person or on the phone..and their manners...Oh my goodness..you would die...some are so gracious and nice...and others...I want to scream my 3 yr old has better manners than you and thats bad..shes a mean girl..i'm usually scared of her!!...or my favorites...they are unhappy and they want to get nasty with me...and it is kinda like..i just want to look at them say..oh your a big bad man yelling at a girl...woho you big man..lol..but no I just smile and try my best to bite my tongue... but ultimately...its not a bad job...I get paid each week..and I have retirement here too.. I should always work just for the sole reason...when me and Jake get old..I want to have enough money and not rely on Jake's retirement a lone...
so..i am finding myself looking at different haircuts...hopefully Megan can do something different with my hair...I can't cut this stuff off till Stuart is 1yrs old!... its a promise I made to myself...and then when he does turn one..I can't say if I'm going to keep it and cut some length off..or do a big Oh my and chop all of it...You can never be too sure with me... but It is getting to a point that its getting to be more work..or I need to learn how to do long hair..b.c all I do is wash it and it let it dry and its a bit wavy..or I wash and blow dry it..and its straight...I sometimes put it half way up or a pony..and thats it...I'm not a very put together person... i need to start working on that... hmm..
so this morning I wake Sondra up...1..she had totally different clothes on then what she had when she went to bed..She had her hat on and 2 - her coat and cowgirl boots were beside her....her first words to me was "Momma I tried waking you up last night and you wouldn't get up" ...and I said well Honey I was sleeping...and I was out last night..I took Tylenol Pm...but it was so funny..b.c. after she couldn't get me up..where was she going????..I'm glad we lock our doors..b.c I'm afraid she would have been gone..she'll probably be my kid to sneak out of the house..and I can't wait..I'll catch her butt!..
My new want is a kindle...I got to play with one last weekend..and oh my... that would be so handy...instead of boxing up my books and taking up room...it holds like 3500 books and a lot are free and when you buy them they are cheaper then actual books... I've read somewhere someday they won't really make books that everyone will read books on E-readers...how strange huh? I'm still reading that book my President Bush...all I can say is..its good!..

I'm Just Gonna Check out Now..is that ok???..
So- I am officially checking out for the day... and its only 3pm...this week has been draining on me...emotionally..physically..and I'm just plain exhausted...
You never want to beleive that the war going over there is really real you know... if that makes sense..and then hearing news of Curt Yetman that I personally didn't go to school with but I graduated with one of his sisters hit home for me b.c. I had 2 brothers away like that...and you always had that fear of getting the news something happened..or one or either wasn't coming home alive....I praise God that Curt is alive but pray for his future..that he will get back to normal...I was watching the news on Monday holding Stuart and they did a segment over Curt and his Dad talked..and I just cried holding my little boy wondering if someday he may join the Army too. I have a really big admiration for Service Men and their Families. Because they give up a lot and miss out on family so that we can be free. I have quite a few friends from school where their husbands have been away a time or two or are a way now...and I just can't beleive how strong they are holding the family together. it seriously baffles me..
I hate how "life ain't always beautiful"... you know that Gary Allan song...thats how it about feels right now..not really personally..but just with people and things right now...
Our Foster Care system in Allen County needs fixed..... their mentality is messed up and just want kids out of their system...
Big Announcement!...Sondra is actually getting her hair trimmed Saturday... how exciting...you probably won't even notice..but this will be the first time ever...Movie Camera will be there...sorry MegPie...I'll leave it in Meg's hands to decide on what something "new" she can do and change it up a bit for her..
so...long!... I'll write Friday! :)

big plans this weekend... my babies are growing up..MommyLuv
Thank you Jesus it is Friday... I don't think I could do another day at work... this whole week I have been waking up at 7am...I leave my house at 730...so with all the time to get ready..you can imagine how nice I look and put together I look...I need to sleep in one of these days..but I'm afraid..it won't be happening this weekend...we are going to the basketball game tonight! I like watching ball! Saturday.. I am going to a Jr. High Tourney..hopefully its not too early...but Sunday I'll get to somewhat sleep in...till 8am at least..b.c. then we have church :)
So Stuart has moved one step out of "infantness" after knowing he weighs 20 pounds.. we went to Walmart last night and bought him a convertible car seat :s... very mixed emotions...my back loved it this morning..but he is getting so big and his baby days are going by fast like Sondra's. I can still hear Sondra calling out "mombey"..the girl could say dozens of words but couldn't say Mommy..it was so funny.. but when I had Stuart..I just looked at him and wondered how I could love another child as much as I loved my first. I couldn't wrap my head around it. but now.. I absolutely understand it and i just have this love for Stuart its not even funny.
i love my kids in different ways. I love Sondra for her free bird spirit. She is a Miss. Independent and I have no fears for her future. She will take care of herself..and probably of me to :). I truly grew up when I had her...my thoughts were..from this day forward..I truly would never be alone ever again..when Stuart was born..I was just amazed. My relationship with Jesus grew immensely when we were trying to have another baby. It wasn't happening just like that like how it was with Sondra..and I questioned.. I read a lot if scripture about children..I prayed and wrote a lot during that tough time..so when he was born...after reading about how precious life is..how much it means to God..how much thought he puts into you even before you are born..it just made me smile to see my blessing....that is much of a lot of reasons why I am so strongly against Abortion. and NO I don't beleive someone should even have a choice either even if I would NEVER chose that option!...and another note..its absolutely amazing that I have 2 healthy kids...b.c. to read about everything that could go wrong during pregnancy..you would be amazed too. You can't say God doesn't have a hand in it.
my only concerns for my Stuart are that I don't the same special things I did with Sondra with him. I'm afraid he won't think I fawned over him enough or took enough pictures of him either..so I always do... I myself love seeing old pictures of me when I was little. I like seeing my history and will like telling my kids and grandkids those stories and having pictures to explain... so I'm trying to capture as much as possible.. every year for all my kid's birthdays I write them a letter... one when I was pregnant and one for each year...I put them in their own folder..and someday..when they are much older.. like maybe for Graduation or something... I'll let them read their love letters from me...and trust me..this is something I started..and will do with every single one of my kids... its special....
also good and bad news about the Garmin...its everything and more...there just isn't a sexy voice...I'm kind of sad...there is a spooky voice and a elf voice I down loaded...but what makes all of it worth switching from TomTom to Garmin...I got a Tri Paint Horse for my "car" on the map..those are my favorites...so its all good in my car world..
I must be going!... see ya soon!

Oh Monday..why so harsh...
Back to work on Monday...SUCKS!..the only thing I'm looking forward to is the sketti and garlic bread I got at home ready to be made!... I think maybe if I can get Jake to go..maybe we'll go swimming after Dinner... With new years over and resolutions made...I need to keep myself busy and moving.
So..I have succumbed to it and started feeding Stuart rice cereal. With Sondra she was probably 10 to eleven months...Stuart....6months... he is doing everything faster than Sondra... I don't know how much its helped..the first night he slept in longer...but like last night..he got up at 5 something..and bless Jake's heart...he got up and fed him!...
and sadly..instead of using my Christmas money for new shirts...I have to get a GPS...My GPS has been very unreliable..and when I was on my way to my friends in Rushmore...few minutes away from Delphos...it just shut off and wouldn't stay on... :(... the maps are outdated to begin with...I've loved my TomTom..and Randy's sexy voice that tells me he wants to relieve his sexual frustrations...and when you get to the place you were going he says he is going to take me in and kiss me from top to bottom..and all..I'm going to miss that sexy voice...hopefully Garmin's your able to download free voices like TomToms... which the more I think about it..I'll only be able to put it to sexy voice when Sondra isn't in the car.. I've had to have Erica's generic voice for the past year or so.. man.. the downers of being a parent lol....anyways...its something I use a lot and had to choose between shirts and a GPS..do you blame me...
I am getting very close to putting Stuart in a convertible car seat..the ones that are a step up from Infant car seats but still rear facing..I want to double check he is over 20 pounds at his doc's visit and then that is where his Christmas money will be going...We already have 2 car seats but Sondra is using her nice one still. Its not hooked in but its like a booster car seat but much more comfy then just a booster..and I don't think that is one that can go backwards...then we have a convertible one that we would keep in Jake's car just in case Stuart would go with him somewhere... so that leaves us with my car w/out a everyday chair for him..so I'm pretty sure we will use his Christmas money on that...well I'm sure..I just want to hear what Jake thinks if he has a better idea ..but I'm sure he will agree..or really not care...my thinking is..buy a decent convertible chair and it will stay with him until he is out of car seats... plus..if he is over 20 pounds you can bet your bottom he is switching..my back hurts so much lugging his butt and that seat around... I bet its at least 30 pounds with him in it..and then Add the diaper bag..my purse..and whatever Sondra may be having me carry...ya.. it stinks..
this weekend was so nice :)
Thursday night we went to Andrea & Joel's and played...she made a wonderful Steak dinner with all the fixings :)
Friday Morning I woke up and took the kids to Lace's parents house...her Daddy made us all waffles like old times..which were excellent...so good...then us girls when and had our eyebrows and lips waxed thanks to Lacey...even Sondra had her eyebrows "done"...so funny...
then the whole family went to Walmart on New Year's eve for groceries...yes we are crazy..I thought Jake was going to rip open a case of beer and start drinking..he was going crazy and getting moody. That Night we went to my Grandpa's and the kid's went swimming while we played with kids and people played games and ate homemade pizza and snacks...I think for the first time Stuart got a good look at Jude..me and Mel were sitting by each other and you would catch Stuart trying to touch Jude's head...so funny... they are going to both be hell on hells in a few months...and Sondra will be their Ringleader I'm afraid....the phrase "where are the boys" will be on repeat for the rest of our lives...
Saturday morning I woke up and made bacon and eggs...and had a little girl tell me they don't taste as good as John's...my foster brother her uncle John...he is a teenager in high school...ya.. thanks Sondra... lol..I can't even remember what we did Saturday..oh we went to my parents..watched football...and did nothing... and Sunday...church of course and Sunday school... was at my parents watching football.. Sunday naps..and of course made dinner...this week on the menu: Hamburgers w/all the toppings and different cheeses with French Fries and Mac and cheese...so good and Melissa had the dessert... Oreo truffles and pumpkin and zucchini bread... it turned into a IDK what we are going to have to a feast! I love Sunday dinners :)..I don't know why I get excited for food..Jake says he really doesn't get or anticipate a meal .....I'm not one of those ones that have that motto: Eat to Live not Live to eat..lol.. and that is why I'm over weight. I love to cook and see the end result..I love to put together stuff and try new things out...
also..Stuart..he is a few inches from crawling..it is making me absolutely sick watching him..he gets on his knees and rocks..and he will throw himself forward...why?..why do babies have to grow so fast???... it makes me sick..he is doing this a whole lot faster than Sondra...she was rocking like that at 9months..but she didn't crawl very long..she went right into walking it seemed like... anyways..I just watch him and for one moment in my brain I get that thought...no what If knock him down so he don't even attempt to crawl..lol.. there goes my mother of the year award for 2011..so close so close... lol ... I love that little man..he is so darn adorable and cuddly and lovable..such a happy spirit...I don't know how I was blessed with such great babies:)...you can't blame me for wanting more kids..
Welp..I gotta get going...I got some work to do... but I just felt like I wanted to update!... Later all
So..I have succumbed to it and started feeding Stuart rice cereal. With Sondra she was probably 10 to eleven months...Stuart....6months... he is doing everything faster than Sondra... I don't know how much its helped..the first night he slept in longer...but like last night..he got up at 5 something..and bless Jake's heart...he got up and fed him!...
and sadly..instead of using my Christmas money for new shirts...I have to get a GPS...My GPS has been very unreliable..and when I was on my way to my friends in Rushmore...few minutes away from Delphos...it just shut off and wouldn't stay on... :(... the maps are outdated to begin with...I've loved my TomTom..and Randy's sexy voice that tells me he wants to relieve his sexual frustrations...and when you get to the place you were going he says he is going to take me in and kiss me from top to bottom..and all..I'm going to miss that sexy voice...hopefully Garmin's your able to download free voices like TomToms... which the more I think about it..I'll only be able to put it to sexy voice when Sondra isn't in the car.. I've had to have Erica's generic voice for the past year or so.. man.. the downers of being a parent lol....anyways...its something I use a lot and had to choose between shirts and a GPS..do you blame me...
I am getting very close to putting Stuart in a convertible car seat..the ones that are a step up from Infant car seats but still rear facing..I want to double check he is over 20 pounds at his doc's visit and then that is where his Christmas money will be going...We already have 2 car seats but Sondra is using her nice one still. Its not hooked in but its like a booster car seat but much more comfy then just a booster..and I don't think that is one that can go backwards...then we have a convertible one that we would keep in Jake's car just in case Stuart would go with him somewhere... so that leaves us with my car w/out a everyday chair for him..so I'm pretty sure we will use his Christmas money on that...well I'm sure..I just want to hear what Jake thinks if he has a better idea ..but I'm sure he will agree..or really not care...my thinking is..buy a decent convertible chair and it will stay with him until he is out of car seats... plus..if he is over 20 pounds you can bet your bottom he is switching..my back hurts so much lugging his butt and that seat around... I bet its at least 30 pounds with him in it..and then Add the diaper bag..my purse..and whatever Sondra may be having me carry...ya.. it stinks..
