My walls are still bare so I need to get the ball rolling on this place! We get compliments on our gorgeous wood floors all the time, i need to paint the baseboards and brighten them up!

So.. Ive been eating more clean! Last night Made a dish that was low cal and carb and delish!!
Spaghetti squash topped with lightly sauteed (in olive oil using a misto) onions, mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper and garlic. I also added a little turkey polish sausage. Seasoned with Mrs Dash, Lemon Juice and red pepper flakes!

It was Amazing!! Made enough for a couple meals!

Me and my homies

I was about 160 here and this was 2009. It is my goal to get back to this and actually 10lbs lower! Wish me luck! Im back on track already jogging 2-3 miles again. Gonna set a goal for a loss of 10lbs by April 15th!

I love these ladies! We are so diverse, yet we get along well!

A day at the beach!!!

Had a fabulous day at the beach with friends.

I've established through this photo which I do love for a Iphone shot off my phone, that I do need to lose a few LB's.

So, it's back to work this week for me.

Couple's Snowboarding Trip!

Had a great weekend!!
Loved our cabin and boarding in the powder was amazing!

Until Next year...

New Year, New Beginnings

I can't believe I am going to be 34.  Sigh... How time has flown.  Dave and I will have our 6 year anniversary and we have been together almost 10 years.  Crazy!!

Anyhow, the next 3 weekends are filled with so much stuff going on.  We have our anniversary, the Surf City Half Marathon (which I will suck at) then we have our annual couples snowboarding trip coming up.  Loads of fun!  I can not wait!

We're in the process of mapping out our family trip for the Summer.  We really want to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge and have the girls spend the morning at the kids spa.  Downside,  this place is insanely pricey,  so our plans are still up in the air for now.

Anyhow,  Since I'm back in class and I am going to be a PT worker trough the school district (YES!!!,  I have a job... or so I think), Girls Scout mom, and of course class volunteer and PTA mom... I better cut this short because like everyone thinks SAHM's do, I have to get back to my wine and bubble bath.  ;-)  That remind me, I got into a debate with a working mom who was complaining about having so much to do as I always here, and I asked her if she wanted to trade me for a week and detailed my job description and that shut her up.  Some people... Eh,  it's hard work and not what I chose, but it's what works for now.

OH!!!!  I almost forgot I am getting back into the groove with food and hoping to add in runs this week!  it's on again.  Luckily, I didn't gain ALL my weight back, but I have a few lbs to take back off and then a few more to lose.  Tomorrow... Signing up for Disney run!!  Whoop, Whoop!!  I am thinking the Inaugural 10K. But if I want the kids to go, I have to do the 5K.  So I have to decide by tomorrow.  Did I mention we DID get season passes AGAIN?  My family is the BOMB.

Quick update on kids:

Halle- Getting A's and B's in school 3.2-3.5 average.  NBot to shabby.  No modifications and no RSP and considering she as tested with lower scores, she is holding her own. Starting Piano next week.  She is excited!!!
Audrie- Starting cheer next week.  Super excited.  Straight A's and reading at a low 2nd grade level.  She's rocking it.
Katlynn- Doing great in musical theater.  Moved up a group.  Still having probs adjusting to the pace of school, but she is doing okay.  They are really working with her and me.  She'll get there.

Okay that's it!

Smitty Over and Out!!!

Random Acts of Kindness

Am I the only one who is upset at the fact that is takes a MASS FLIPPING KILLING for people to do random acts of kindness?  Why can't people just pay it forward on a daily basis... ALL THE TIME?  I mean, yes... it is great and wonderful and all and any act of kindness is surely a start, but I am just bother that is took the death of so many babies and wonderful people to light a fire under the asses of so many selfish people in this world.  Make's me sick to my stomach.  Hug your children a little tighter EVERY night.

And trying to get your kid on the news or noticed by a famous person  because you are using them to do a random act of kindness ... That is just messed up.

Anyhow,  my vent for the day.

HAPPY NEW YEARS everyone.  Here's to a 2013 filled with HOPE,  LOVE,  KINDNESS and HAPPINESS.

I leave you with a pic of our fabulous snow day yesterday.  

Merry Christmas

Quick, very quick recap.

I have not worked out in a LONG time.  I am sure I have gained back 1/2 my 25lb loss.
I am a very busy mom with 3 lovely daughters who keep me on my toes with their smarts and activities.
Halle... Decided BAND was not for her.
Audrie... a Kindergartner reading at a high 2-3 grade level and doing 1st grade math.
Katlynn... Sweet as pie and loved by everyone.
Dave...busy bee... working all the time, but tries to play when he can.
Me... applying for jobs (I actually did my first interview in over 8 years and was offered the job today), but declined it because the schedule didn't fit my needs to provide for the kids.  I will probably be put on the sub list though,  so it's a foot in the door at a district that is hard to get into.  Taking classes again come January and also thinking of applying PT to 24 hour fitness.

Still getting out house in order, paying off things we had to pay to renovate the house before we moved in, and just living day to day.

I'm busy... that's the only thing I can say.  Still planning on doing the half marathon, although I am certain, I will only be running a small fraction of it.

But I am content.  Do I wish I hadn't gained back some weight.  If course, but I am not unhappy... just busy.

Here's a couple pics from our last trip to the Happiest Place on Earth for 2012.  We've deceived not to renew for 2013.  The kids are busy with school and sports or activities and we prefer to save that money for family travel.  The cost of passes for our family could pay for a lot of a really nice cruise or a trip back East.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year friends.  See you in 2013.
