I am still here - lost in the world of facebook and micro blogging. Kids are awesome and Sweetie is awesome.
Now I am focusing in on me. I have a new weight loss blog. Feel free to read if you feel so inclined :-)

Where did the year go?
Last Wed we celebrated L's b-day. We all took off from work/school and just hung out as a family. La Madeline was our breakfast (where he and I love the oatmeal), then some learning store exploring, park playing, and finally cake at G's. It was a day where it truly made me appreciate my husband and kids. We are a great family. Then on Saturday we had the party. It was at our favorite park with some family and friends. Of course, L didn't know what was going on, but he had fun. He never stopped walking - that is my little man, always on the go. Yesterday was his 1 year check up. The boy is healthy and big. 29.5" 22lbs. The only issue is that he has an ear infection. We had no idea. No fever, no complaining, no pulling. She said he has a high tolerance of pain - yep that is an understatement, lol. So there it is Sweetie and I are parents of a big kid and a toddler. I am smiling feeling complete as he keeps talking of a third :-) He cannot deny how much he adores being a dad. And now that the party is over we can plan our date day. For his marathon I bought us massages - we are going to do that as well as a movie and food. Sounds like heaven to me. As far as I go, I am still in a bit of a weight loss plateau. That is OK as I am focused. 31 weeks until 35. My studying has more motivation now as well. My new boss is pushing for me to finish the certification. This is good - I need some pressure to get things done. So I think that is a valid summary. Life is busy and hectic and wonderful. Everyday I am thankful for what I have :-)

Hello Stranger
Things are crazy and good. In less than two weeks my little boy will be one. How did that happen? He is such an amazing little cute and snuggly boy. Our little hectic life is going good. It makes me smile and laugh daily. We are focusing this weekend on preparing for his b-day as well as making some to do lists for the house. That combined with wonderful weather, I am really looking forward to it. We may even make it to the farmers market tomorrow.
I am in a really good place right now. Which is one reason for lack of posting. Work has had some major changes but I am my normal and rolling with the punches. My weight loss has stalled, but that is ok as I am reassessing. Work has a new wellness program and we are all wearing pedometers and uploading our steps into a challenge website. It is fun and motivating right now which is all that I can ask for.

So fast
This year has gone so very fast, it is unreal. You think it goes fast with your first, but OMG it goes faster with your second. The weekend before his b-day I have the cap10k, as I have mentioned. I am trying to keep my training at an even and planned pace - with my knee I cannot just do what I feel like. I know I can complete it, I just want to do it with style :-)
I am 9 pounds away from my goal for L's b-day. I must stay focused. The cold has taken me a little of course, but as long as I get my long walks in and hopefully three more, I will be grand.
L has been rocking and rolling with the walking. He has been taking steps for awhile. But this week he has truly used it for movement more than crawling. My little boy is already getting big.
I need to be working, but I don't want to. Bug was out for two days with strep - fun - so I worked from home. That is 10 times harder. But I was productive. Now that I am back to the office I just want to get outta here.
I have been studying though at night, and that makes me happy. I am trying to regain control of my life one aspect at at time :-)
Now the weekend is here, yay. Our plans are to complete a to do list of everything we want done for L's b-day, including a guest list. With bug we did it big. This time I think we won't do it as big, but I do want to celebrate it with a party.
Valentine's day is Monday. I need to get the kids some candy and such. Sweetie and I are not exchanging gifts, though I do expect some chocolate covered strawberries to share. I just cannot believe that it has been 14 years since Sweetie proposed. It seems like yesterday yet lifetimes ago. We were such different people then. But he took the opportunity to stand in front of 200 strangers and ask me to marry him. And I said yes. Actually he never said "will you marry me", he said "will you be my senses for the rest of my life" :-)

damn it is cold
Waking to no power and 18 degrees is not the most fun. Well, it was fun. We weren't stressed and L had the best time crawling in the dark while Bug took charge of the flashlight. But it was cold.
Tonight is going to be fun as we get to go to a coffee shop that is displaying a friend's photography. It is going to be awesome. If only I survive the cold, lol.
This past weekend Sweetie ran his official 2nd half marathon. He is doing so awesome. His marathon is this month and I cannot wait to cheer him on.
I am doing good with my WW, down 36.8 now, only 44.4 remains. This week I started doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. Two days in and I feel good, sore but good.
I am back on the studying bandwagon and hope to test in June.
OK that is all I have for little updates. Stay warm, peeps.

repost from FB
smiling from ear to ear Sweetie knew I didn't have lunch and couldn't go out. He decided to surprise me by going to get me lunch and bring it to my work. I had no idea he was going to do this. This means even more as he had lunch at work so he didn't get himself anything. Now I look like a giddy school girl. Damn, I love that man!

MIA
I have been missing, that is for sure. But nothing bad. Work, time with family, time with Sweetie, getting more routines for the kids, and general happiness has kept me busy.
My boy is growing and becoming a nice addition to our silly family. Bug is still amazing me everyday with something new she learned from school. I found out she checks on L while at school. She will report to me "he was sleeping today" or "he was taking a ride in the stroller". I love it. It will be strange to have them in two different places next year.
Sweetie has been training for a marathon and running a ton. I must say he is looking awesome in his running gear, heehee.
I have been busy with work, year end and audit prep are always a killer time for me. I am still working on the weight loss, though I did enjoy myself over the holidays. I have a much more realistic goal - all to do with my 35th b-day.
I just wanted to check in and let everyone that I am not gone, just taking a small break :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hello 2011, nice to meet you. I have a lot of plans for you. Please grab a drink and sit down. We need to talk. I try to not have a ton of resolutions, or anything too crazy, but this year is my year. You see, since 2005 my years have had other focuses than the simplicity of losing weight. Between new baby, health issues, miscarriage, and pregnant again - I have had a focus of the "greater good".
Not this year.
This year is ME.
I started my workout program yesterday and am a part of the 100 day challenge (workout 30 minutes a day, everyday for the first 100 days of the year). My goal is to finish a 90 day challenge of chaLEAN, walk the Cap10k, and hope to jog the IBM 10k.
With weight loss, I want to get to a healthy weight this year. I am still with WW and plan to start following it once again. And this should be made easier with my goal of working out.
Then there is organization. I want to get my house to a point where I do not care who enters the door that they can walk into any room without me feeling embarrassed. This will require more schedules - which will aid in my eating healthier and losing weight. See where this is going. They all go hand in hand. Improve one part and others are bound to follow. Sweetie's resolution also has to do with de-cluttering and organizing.
And if I am sleeping better, eating healthier, feeling healthier, and am more on schedule, I should have time to do some studying. My certification went through a change and now is very different. I still have two tests to pass so I need to do this right and study some everyday.
So that is the plan, focus on ME. Only a couple of set goal time frames with other support goals. I can do this. I have the most supportive husband and kids.
Thank you, 2011, I look forward to working with you :-)

Happy Festivus
I cannot think of today without thinking of my brother, and of course seinfeld. I miss him so much! Hopefully we will get to see him soon.
Today I am huge smiles. My babies were so awesome this morning. Not to mention that Bug bought me a Christmas present last night. I don't care what it is, though I have an idea. All that matters to me is that she thought of it. She got everyone a gift this year - and really thought about it all. She is awesome and amazing. I am so very lucky to have her.
L is awesome too, don't get me wrong, but on a much squishier and gigglier way. He is trying so hard to walk and is into everything. But one look into his blue eyes and seeing his crazy red hair, and you cannot help but smile.
I go into this Christmas holiday feeling very blessed, loved, and lucky.

One more week
Until Christmas. I cannot believe it is nearly here. We have a ton of cleaning to do and Sweetie has to help me not lose my mind. This year is so much fun with Bug, though she is catching on to Elf on a Shelf. Christmas eve is mine this year. I truly love hosting it, I missed it last year. I have a ton to do, but my gift to myself is cleaning my house. I need to get everything done so I can attack my kitchen. I want to overhaul it so I feel inclined to cook and plan meals. Then the new year will be here. My goal is to get the house super clean and consolidated. I want my room to be my sanctuary. I also need to finish my certification. Blah. It is all good - just need to get a pen to paper to make some realistic plans/commitments.
There is so much to do next year, including my L's 1st birthday!! But for now, to focus on the end of 2010.

Don't have much time
But I had to post that this has been the best weekend. Friday night was my company Christmas party and it was fun, bowling and drinking are a great combination. Today was hanging with the family at MIL's with crafts and food. YUM!!!
Tomorrow is Sweetie's first half marathon. That is 13.1 miles! I am so very proud of him. Other than that I need to clean, decorate, wrap, and shop for Christmas eve.
Sweetie and I took Wednesday off to shop and had the most most most wonderful day. Shopping for two is so much fun, add a yummy lunch where we like to tip 93% and a movie and you have the perfect day. We even stopped and took my chain in that broke - they were wonderful and replaced it free of charge. This means that I am happy to have my tree necklace back on me.
OK L is crying for a bottle so I must wrap this up.

sore
I am sore. But it is a good sore. It is the kind of sore that makes you actually feel stronger than before the workout that caused it. I started a new workout program on Monday and am loving it so far. I also started the yoga. On Monday I did weights, Tuesday yoga, Wed rest, Thurs weights, and today will be yoga and weights. You see I am focused. First, Darkdiva wants to photograph me in a couple of weeks - she mostly deals with painted bodies - can we say "yikes". Luckily she is very talented and I trust her. Then there is the whole anniversary goal - getting close you know. But I also have another goal. You see when I hit 20 pounds lost I went to VS and got fitted and a new bra. I promised myself this treat with each 20 pounds. I only have 6 pounds to go. And boy do I need this, my bras are way too big.
Back to the anniversary - I need to decide what to plan for this one. What do you do for 13? I have a couple of ideas of places to take the family for the long weekend. I guess it is time to get a move on as I have less than a month.
And how can I not say something about this time of year. I love it! And even with me watching my weight and exercising, I still made my bourbon balls and plan to enjoy them and cookies at Christmas Eve. Tomorrow is Bug's first try at ice-skating and then the nutcracker. We also need to finish decorating and getting lights on the house. And true to form the only music played in my car is Christmas music. Yes, I am that kind of annoying mom. Bug is enjoying it, for now. I know in the not so distant future my silliness and dancing in public will become her worst nightmare. Good thing I don't embarrass easily :-) Between L's first Christmas and Bug so very into it this year, life is good.
Yes, I will end it with that - Life IS Good!

We need a little Christmas
Thankful day 6 - L has a bad cough and low grade fever so we stayed in all day. I missed BestFriend's party and that kills me. So my thankful for today is food. And how I have been enjoying it. So happy the new WW plan comes out on Monday. But I am thankful for when I say "I want xxx" that we have the means to fill such a need. Tonight was sushi and baileys.
Thankful day 7 - I am thankful for choices. I can decide what to wear, eat, shop, work, and when I want to do things, like testing.
Today is Christmas baking - mmmm bourbon ball time. After baking we will finish our decorating - got the tree up but not decorated yesterday. Then we must do the dreaded, prepare for work/school tomorrow.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I know that I have. Thank you to my friends and family who make everyday a day to give Thanks.

Thankful
Thankful day 3 - I am thankful for my employment. Things may be strange now, but I do like where I work and what I am doing. There are so many out of work right now and I know that things can change at any minute, but I am Thankful.
Thankful day 4 - HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I am thankful for the roof over my head. It may not be fancy or big, but it is mine and does the job. A cold front came in during the afternoon and I was not fully aware as I was busy cooking in my warm home.
Thankful day 5 - I am thankful for traditions. My family is dressed in comfy PJs that are new for the holiday and we prepare for our "black friday" tradition. Today we will clean the house to prepare. Tonight we will begin decorating. Every year we put the tree up on this day while watching Miracle on 34th Street. Add eggnog, pizza, and lemon bars and it will be a fun evening indeed.
Every year I love watching Christmas through Bug's eyes. Her belief and generosity amazes me. But this year I also get to watch L experience everything. He was awesome yesterday and loved showing off his movement. I can't wait to see his reaction to the tree and lights. And the weather is perfect. It is in the 40s and I love it.
I really need to upload the photos, the kids were very cute. I even got some cute pics of the cousins together - something I love as I did not have this - not having cousins and all.
Sweetie is out finding breakfast for us now. Our favorite small donut shop is closed so I have no idea what he is coming back with.
On the food front, I have not been counting. A new plan comes out on Sunday and I am excited to see the changes. Sweetie is excited about it too. So I have to admit some, going off plan until the new one comes, lol. I am also venturing out and trying something scary and new. If my shoulder allows, I am going to hot yoga tomorrow. I hope I get to go. It is scary and thinking of hot yoga just makes me thirsty, lol. But a good deal came along and I had to take it. Actually I took two, one to try further into town and one in cedar park. Sweetie hopes it will help with my stress and help me to feel empowered. I will report in and let you know how it goes.

Thankful Day Two
I am thankful for my health. Regardless of my autoimmune issues - hypo-thyroid and sjogrens - I am healthy.
- I am thankful for being healthy.
- for the ability to get out of bed in the morning
- being able to walk - both for movement and exercise (even if I can't run yet)
- the ability to take in a deep breath
- most importantly the ability to see and hear my children.

Thankful Day One
The number one thing that people say they are thankful for is family. I have to agree, I am thankful for my family. But there is more to it.
- I am thankful to be as close to my mom as I am. She is one of my best friends and I thank God everyday that I still have her in my life. She treats me like an adult and welcomes my opinions.
- I am thankful for husband. Sweetie may not be perfect, but he never stops trying to improve and treat me like a princess. Truth be told, he does more housework and cooking than I do. He supports me, encourages me, loves me, and makes me laugh. Every day he makes me laugh.
- I am thankful for my kids. I know those who cannot have kids and understand how blessed I am. I love that my Bug makes me laugh and we can be silly together. I love that L is all boy and has an innocent invincible quality that I cannot get enough of. And they both are snugglers, damn I love that.
- I am thankful for my in-laws. They are more like family than in-laws. They love me in good and bad. When I am being narrow minded and bitchy they don't disown me. I look forward to new traditions with them - including going shopping on Black Friday.
- I am thankful for my Brother - we may be separated by distance, but I still love him deeply and look forward to when we can sit and chat once again.

life is good
The below was written on Thursday night but never posted - funny how chasing two kids can distract you from finishing a thought.
******************************************
I am happy. Sitting with my babies while drinking mint hot chocolate. Even the massive amount of soreness that I am feeling from my workout yesterday is ok.
I have lunch with Bug tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Gonna be a wonderful time.
And a big family weekend planned for this weekend.
Oh and I have to brag. Sweetie set up my car to have its oil changed. He set it up at 7:00am. Yikes. But he took care of it all. After going to sleep last night, he cleaned the car which also involved hiding what I bought for the kids so far. Then this morning he work up early to take the car in. When he came to kiss me good night he said "the boy is sorted" - this is code for ready. He cleaned and made all L's bottles and took the trash out.
******************************************
Ok back to the current, lol. We came home from our family weekend today. It was really a good time. Yes, it was cold on Friday, but we survived. Makes me think if we moved to a colder climate that we might do well :-) We used the tent I got Sweetie for father's day and it was very nice. And the first night was the only one that was really cold. But we doubled up L's clothes and he was awesome. The Ren Fair was a lot of fun and the time with the family greatly appreciated. My only complaint, the quiet family area for camping is away from the bon fire and such - yay - but it is next to the train track. The train would do the horn all the way past and 4-5 times a night. OMG it was loud. Next year give me the stupid drunks all night - better than being startled awake by the train. Today on the way back we took a detour to Huntsville so Sweetie could make a spot of the prison. Yes, it sounds odd, but we were fairly close and it is something that makes him happy. The drive was beautiful and the kids were awesome. L was in an extra sleepy mood as he has his third tooth coming in. Now for an extra early night as we all are exhausted. But it was worth it.
I am so excited about the Thanksgiving week. I love this time of year, family, friends, and food. I have so much to be thankful for. This weekend was a wonderful reminder.

The drive was beautiful and the kids were awesome. L was in an extra sleepy mood as he has his third tooth coming in. Now for an extra early night as we all are exhausted. But it was worth it.
I am so excited about the Thanksgiving week. I love this time of year, family, friends, and food. I have so much to be thankful for. This weekend was a wonderful reminder.
