I'm in the mood to blog.. not clean!

I haven't really blogged lately as we have been uber (thats right.. uber) busy.
2 weekends ago we were in Coutts. Who knows what I did all week, but I was busy. Then Thursday and Friday I spent cleaning and packing for camping. Went camping for 2 days and now I am back to cleaning my brains out... again

I have been trying really hard to get our basement suite organized. If we are going to be living here for awhile, I don't want to be tripping over touts every day. But it feels like every step I take forward in organization I take 3 GIANT steps back. I need a good week with no kids to obtain my goal. We all know THAT won't happen.

Lately I have been trying very hard to watch what I eat. I am keeping track of my weight and if I eat terrible one day. Its neat to see how my weight reacts to how I eat. Now I am much more conscience about what I eat. On friends Rachel's sister said "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips"! That rings in my head every time I look at a pop, chocolate bar, slurpee, and all the wonderful junk food that taste amazing!.

In my goal to 'Be Healthy', I have gone to the local gym to check it out. I may join. I'm feeling a little down about my weight. I am not brave enough to post it, but I am lingering around my pre pregnancy weight. With a couple additions... mushroom top, pancake mix boobs and stretch marks all over my belly. I feel like I cannot wear pants that 'fit' as they will push everything up, and make me even more upset about my shape. I understand that my hips are bigger... I did push out 2, 8 pound babies. But I am not ready to except the skin it left behind. It wasn't this bad with Carter, so this is my first encounter. Will let you know if I join the gym! I plan on tracking my progress on here.

Good for you! I did the same thing after Mady and loved the results I was getting until I found out I was pregnant and got sick. We think our bodies suck after having one but then you have another and you really think your body sucks. But it just gets worse from there. After this baby, I am totally planning on doing the same thing. I'm not excited for the skin left behind either and I totally understand the pant thing. It makes a big difference when we feel good about ourselves again.

Yup, cleaning with kids around feels pretty much futile but can you imagine if we didn't even try? You know my journey with trying to regain my body and that I get where you're at. It isn't easy but keep at it, it will work over time.

Blogging it because I cannot talk about it.

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

What a HORRIBLE word. It is consuming. I wonder how many times that word runs through my head. I know at least once a day...... or twice.... or three or four or five..... ok ok 50! x 100.. anyways... On Saturday at work I helped this man. He didn't speak English well and I found him very frustrating. He thought it was $15 for EVERYTHING. Glasses, exam... everything.. He was suppose to go back in to see the doctor but walked out not realizing he wasn't done. (Were still talking about Fat hang in there). Last night he came back, and I avoided him like the plague. I could tell my co-worker was having a hard time with him too. Little did I realize why. Afterwards she told me that he was very confrontational and kept saying "Well the fat girl on Saturday said this". "But when I talked to the fat girl"......... over and over and over and over again. She asked me if I knew who helped him. Aren't I lucky? It was me. Nothing like hearing the thing you are mo...
