READY 2 GO!


Hi girls! What a week it has been!!
Tomorrow we leave for our road trip to Ohio, to meet my blog friend Stacy and her 2 boys!
We are so excited!! Going to the Toledo Zoo tomorrow:)
My BFF is going along with me for moral support, lol!
WE are staying 2 nights and returning home on Saturday!

Sunday is Gavin's Pokemon themed 8th birthday party at our local water park/pool that we love! BUSY!
It will be a lot of fun though- 3 of his friends from school are coming and they are all GIRLS!
We invited 2 other boys and they aren't coming; so does that make my Gavin a ladies man?

UPDATES ON ME...

(1) Since the 4th I feel that I am doing a terrible job on my eating habits!
Sneaking sweets which I am NOT supposed to HAVE, on a daily basis!
I have NOT lost anymore weight because of this! I am so MAD at myself!
I started taking Metformin which is supposed to help control my insulin, and if I eat right while taking it, it will help me to lose more weight too! I DO get a tummy ache from taking it which makes me miserable:(

(2) Guess what? I GOT A JOB! A friend of mine referred me to a gal she knows who has a home
daycare and was looking for some part time help and well, she loved me and hired me!
The gal that is my BOSS now is my age with an almost 2 year old boy; she is SO much like me too so we have totally hit it off! I will work 2, maybe 3 days a week for 3-4 hours a day, and can take the boys with me if I need to.

(3) Remember how I hate Math? Well, this semester didn't start out well! I got an F on the first exam because I was so drained and didn't study well. Wellllll... I got an A on my last quiz, 2 A's on my homework assignments and a B on this weeks exam- yahooooo!
Our final is this coming Wednesday, so please say a little prayer that I DO well!!

_________________________________________________________________

Sign ups for my SWEETS of SUMMER swap are now CLOSED! I only had 3 other gals sign up:( BUT... we will have a great time finding and creating fun/sweet things for one another!

I am almost to my 300th post! You know what that means? GIVE-AWAY time soon!
I am still looking for some "beachy" goodness to give away and have something I want to make for it too; so I probably won't announce the give-away till the week of July 27th!! Stay tuned!

I have set up a Happy 8th Birthday to my SON post for tomorrow!
I won't be back to visit you all till probably Sunday night!
I think I will skip Scrapbook Sunday this week too; but feature some of my tools that I use when I scrap, next Sunday July 26th instead!

Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend!!

Hugs,
Noelle ♥

A Pokemon birthday party??!! My daughter would be there in a second! What is it with girls and Pokemon? Or maybe your son is a ladies man? And at such a young age.:)

Have fun on your road trip! I will be meeting a bloggy friend in Ohio in a few months, too!:) Lori

Oh I'm so glad you're bringing your BFF with you! I feel better now. I'm feeling like such a mom lately. ☺ I hope you all have a super duper time-O!

Wow, what a turn around with Math! Good for you!!!

Concerning the stand still with the weight: I think we all go through that... We taste a bit of victory and then we're tasting all those things we're not supposed too! Grrrr! I guess we just have to be patient with ourselves?

Congrats on the job!! That sounds perfect!!

I am behind in my blog reading or I would have mentioned that today! :)

It was nice to meet you and your boys, I don't know about you guys but we're exhausted!!

Really metformin is supposed to help you lose weight? If you're having tummy issues with it make sure you take it with food. I had the hardest time adjusting to taking it. My morning dose goes fine with breakfast but at night if I don't make sure I have something in my belly it still makes me sick on ocassion.
