Yeppers, a bath did it!!!


Gave Chase a bath last night and he is still down for the count at 8:30!!! Man alive, it will be bath night every night!! lol
I will have to post a pic later. My little man has a black eye. He hit right below his eye on a "magic wand", so it has left a shiner. Luckly he didn't hit his actually eye, he hit right below it. My poor little guy!!! He actually got over it pretty quick, but I'll post a pic later.

Figured him out!!

Since we have gotten done with teething, I have figured out what Chase requires to sleep all night.......a bath. Before it started getting hot, I did baths every other night. Well, the nights that he didn't get a bath he would get up, but when he got his bath he would sleep all night. Ahhh, relief and an easy solution!! So you better believe we will be bathing it up, even if it is not needed due to being dirty and sweaty!!! Thank goodness, I've cracked the code. lol

Wasn't even trying.

So, I wasn't even trying but yesterday I didn't have a single drop of Mt Dew. I didn't even think about it at all. I don't have any in the house, but before I would never be caught without it in the house. So, I just thought it was funny how I wasn't even trying and I didn't have any. lol Oh, btw, didn't have any ice cream either. lol

Fell off the face of the Earth...

Okay, so I've been terrible. I've kinda fallen off the face of the earth. I had myself down to where I didn't "need" Mt Dew for the caffine purpose, but what can I say, I love the taste of the stuff. So, I have not given up the Dew, but have cut back A LOT!! I have gone from drinking 48-72oz to drinking 12-24oz a day! I think that is an accomplishment in itself!! I just don't want to give it up completely. That is one thing that I enjoy and I can't take it away. As far as eating good, well no. I need to stop. My number on the scale just keeps climbing, ugh!!! I need to do something, which cutting back on how much I eat would be a fantastic start! Plus that damn ice cream, it gets me everytime. I would probably be fine, but Matt and Emma want it and then I just follow suit. I need to stop!!
My weekend was super nice. Friday, Matt took off and I didn't have my nephews. So we spent some family time together and went to Chuck E Cheese. Emma loved it, actually we all did. It was so much fun, until the melt down Emma had when it was time to go home. UGH! Not fun!! Then Friday night we, uh, I can't even remember. (I suffer from short term memory loss BAD!!) OH wait, me, Emma and my mom-in-law went and bought flowers! Ah, glad I'm not totally loosing it. lol Then Saturday morning we planted them. We still have some more planting to do, which we will hopefully get done this weekend. Then came 2:00 and I dropped the kiddos off at my parents for the night. Matt and I got around and headed off to Olive Garden to celebrate our anniversary (which was Thursday). We have some yummy Chicken Alfredo and a bottle of very very very good wine (and I don't usually like wine unless it is Ice Wine). Which we ended up buying yet another bottle to bring home with us. Yummy!! It didn't make it thru the night. So we finished up 2 bottles that night together.
Sunday we picked the kids up and then had the mom-in-law and Matt's cousin & gf over for a little BBQ. When mom-in-law left Emma wanted to go, so off she went to stay at her house (for the first time ever). Matt, his cousin, cousin gf and I played Playstation till midnight. BTW, us girls kicked the boys butts!!! It was so much fun, we laughed so hard tears where coming and stomachs were hurting!! It was such a great time!! Monday morning Matt took off fishing with his brother at 6am, which left the house to Chase and I. We got up around 8:30ish and played. He is such a little monkey!! When he layed down for his nap I was kinda lost. I really didn't know what to do with myself, I was actually bored. But then he woke up, I went down and got Emma and by the time we got home Matt was back. We cooked out on the grill and just had some family time. It was great!! My weekend was awesome. Matt and I had some us time but we also had some great family time!!
Then comes Tuesday. Wake up, pee and there it was.....blood. I didn't know what to think. Called Matt he didn't know, called mom but she didn't answer, called dad he said to call mom but probably would need to call the doc. Mom called me back and told me to call the doc. So I called the doc and got an appt for 2:30. In the meantime I researched on the interenet..BAD idea!! When I looked it up, it listed 3 different types of cancers amongst other things. But of course the mind goes straight to the bad stuff. So freak me out!! Well, finally 2:30 came. I peed in a cup and everything came back fine. She said it was due to me starting on birth control again, that first starting the pill can lead to mid-cycle bleeding. Thank goodness!! But while I was there she eyed some moles that she said need to come off. I told her that I would get back to her on that, not tood fond of her cutting on me. There are atleast 2, but she hasn't seen my back and mom said there are probably 2 more there that she would want to cut off. Not exactly something that I find fun.
So here we are, Wednesday. My plans are, to get the cleaning I wanted to do yesterday before I had to freak about the blood all day. Hopefully all the kids decide to get along today and no fighting. Oh did I mention that Chase is walking all over the place now?? Yea, he is officially on the move, EVERYWHERE!! So here we go, a new chapter for the books. Now if I could just find a way to get myself to not be so uptight and get so overly worked up over everything. I need to find a way to relax, a way to be able to just let go of all of this frustration and anger that I have from I don't know where. Anyways, so not touching all of that right now. But ok, gonna get started on the whole cleaning thing.

Yesterday and Day 2

So, I didn't keep updating my blog like I was wanting to. Well, my day started to turn into crap so out came the ice cream and some chips. I'm not too worried about that tho, b/c dieting isn't my main priority right now, stopping Mt Dew is. So, the grand total of Mt Dew consumed by me is just under 24oz. Which I must say I am happy about.

Now off to today. I haven't had anything to drink or eat yet. I think I will fix me some eggs and have some water to go with it. First tho, I'm gonna weigh myself. Yesterday I made the mistake of weighing myself throughout the day and it just kept going up, seriously. So I'm curious to see what I weigh before anything gets put into my body. Hopefully it reads less than what it did yesterday.

So here I am starting day #2. Oh did I mention that I am hurting from head to toe? I don't know why, but I am. Plus I'm on the verge of a headache. I woke up (a couple of times) at 2:30 and I felt like I was gonna puke! Hopefully I'm not getting sick!!

Day 1~I will continuously be adding to this post throughout the day!

Okay, so here we are...Monday. Today is going to be day 1! I am only going to drink enough Mt Dew to keep the caffine headache at bay! I've started out the morning with a bowl of cereal and I'm about to open my first bottle of water!
I've heard many people say that they lost a lot of weight just by not drinking pop anymore. Well, I am hoping that is going to be true, b/c I am getting close to my weight that I was the day I delivered Emma!! This time tho, I don't have an extra human growing inside. So here I go, starting my journey and new life style. Hopefully it all goes well.
PS. I did do good yesterday, I turned down going to Shell. We go to shell several times a week and get ice cream. My weakness is a small schmoopie (blizzard) with chocolate ice cream and extra reese cup! That is probably helping my weight out! lol Anyways, I turned it down and I'm not going to be eating those, but maybe once in a blue moon. Can't totally take everything that I love away! lol

9:25~I have drank 16.9oz of water and had my first sip of Mt Dew. (feel the headache coming, so can't go cold turkey. caffine headaches are the worst!!)

10:30~Another sip of Mt Dew.

12:00~Lunch! Spinach salad and a yogurt. Now I'm gonna go grab me a water!!

Pottying it up!!

Okay, so for the last 3 or 4 days Emma has been doing great using the potty! Each day she has only 1 accident!! She is telling me when she has to go and sometimes I just make her sit on the potty and she ends up going!! I am just so proud of her. I hope she stays being a big girl and going in the potty. Once less butt to change and diaper to buy will be great!!! Yeah Emma!!!!
