Merry Christmas

Diet Jihad

So I started a new diet yesterday. Eliminated carbs and sugar from my diet. It sucks. The hardest part is giving up Dr. Pepper. It is like crack for me. But hopefully it will pay off. I drank my first bottle of water yesterday in a long time. So that will be good for me. Yesterday I had about 3 16 ounce bottles of water, but today I was so thirsty. I had 108 ounces. I dont think that is too much. I read somewhere to drink half your body weight in ounces in water to lose weight. And I also read that is long as you dont consume the water all at once and you go pee, you will be cool, so that is what I am going for. But I do miss cereal, biscuits, hash browns, swiss cake rolls, corn, white chocolate mochas, pizza, french fries, and all of the other bad foods that I love. On the plus side, I can eat as much bacon as I want and that rocks. So if you are around me and eating something I cant have, please lie to me and say that it tastes horrible. And if you see me trying to cheat....STOP ME!!!!!!! Hopefully next time you hear from me I will be 50 pounds thinner. Well maybe not the next time you hear from me, but one day when you hear from me

On a completely unrelated note, Dillon has been getting in trouble at school and getting sad faces and timeouts. He has been tackling his friends and then laughing about it. We are trying to break him of it, but when you get on to him, he gives you a big smile and hug and kiss. He is so damn cute. Bastard. ha ha jk

My Life

I wrecked the van yesterday.
I rear ended someone.
I am sore today.
Took the van to the shop and they said it would be 7-10 days before it is ready.
I got a rental car.
Saturn Ion.
Feels weird to drive a small car.
Dennis got stuck by a rusty nail and had to get a tetnus (SP?) shot
Dakota is healed from his surgery and sleeps so much better.
He is eating a lot now too
I can hardly keep up with him as much as he wants to eat
He has been a little whiney tho
Dillon is starting to have a temper and hit, pinch, and push
But after he does it he gives you the cutest smile in the world
He is trying to talk too and it is cute
Dakota is obsessed with Ninja Turtles
Dennis has a new job and we do not see eachother often
It makes me sad
The boys miss him too
But he is happy and working hard for his family
The boys and I dance every night before bed
It is fun
I like my new neighbors
CJ comes home from boot camp in 10 days
I can tickle myself
I am still scared of clowns
I am obsessed with www.perezhilton.com
Dillon gives the best hugs in the world
Dakota gives the best kisses
I love Bunko
I love my family
I miss my sister
This blog is long.
Now it is over.

My Babies

My babies started Daycare today. I cried. I think they are going to like it. Dakota made a girlfriend within the first few minutes of being there. I think they are going to have to change Dillon's classroom because I think the kids in there are more advanced than he is verbally and with motor skills. But we will see. I am really nervous. I keep wanting to call or go down there but I am trying to let them have at least one day without me coming down there...ha ha I will update on how it went. Let's hope that Dillon doesn't cry all day and that Dakota does not have a potty mouth, ha

10 randoms about me

1. I am scared of clowns. Abnormally scared of clowns. Have been since birth according to my mom.
2. I think I am psychic even though I have no reason to really feel that way. Sometimes I have bad nightmares about things happening and then will refuse to leave the house or drive or whatever it is that was in my dream because I am sure I am going to die. I have seriously considered getting professional help for this.
3. I can't eat food with bones in it, or if I saw that food while the bones were still in it, or if I saw the food while it was alive. I would starve to death before I ate a drumstick of chicken. I also do not like it when people touch my bones. I don't like it when you touch my wrists, knuckles, elbows, collar bone, or knees. It makes me sick to my stomach.
4. Sometimes I pretend I am blind, deaf, or mute, just in case it ever does happen, then I am prepared. I will blindfold myself and wonder around the house and I will make Dennis act is if I were blind and help me out. I have serious issues.
5. I am obsessed with celebrities. I can not get enough of the gossip mags and entertainment television. I don't know why, but I check E! Online and People.com numerous times a day hoping a celebrity has done something stupid so that I can feel better about myself.
6. My freshman year of college I ACCIDENTALLY overdosed on Nyquil and had to go to the hospital for a night, and they thought I had tried to kill myself. I had to tell them that I did not try to kill myself, but that I was just an idiot.
7. I can say all of my states in alphabetical order and all of my presidents in order of their presidency. I can also say them really fast. Mrs. Lehman taught me in 8th grade and I am pretty proud of this.
8. When my sister and I would go places with my mom we would pretend we did not speak English and make up our own language to embarrass mom. Sounds dumb, but it cracked us up.
9. I hate the Austin Powers movies. I actually got up and left the theatre during the first one. I am not sure why, because I normally appreciate dumb humor, but I did not laugh at all in those movies.
10. When we were 10, Bethany and I got into a fist fight over who was going to marry Chuck E Cheese and did not speak to each other for weeks. We actually physically hit, kicked and scratched each other over playing pretend. We also spent one night counting how many periods we have had in our entire lives and how many tampons we have probably used, and then tried to equate how much money our periods had cost us. Basically Bethany and I are freaks.

Dakota

I can not believe my little boy will be 3 years old tomorrow. It makes me so sad. Where does the time go? it seems like just yesterday he was a little baby and I was holding him in my arms...Now he is so big and independent. And Dillon will be 1 in less than 2 months. They grow up so fast. I am a very sad mommy. But I am happy that I have two beautiful kids and a great support group. Cherish the time...before you know it they will be having their own babies...and you will be old... ha ha
