Lil Mama loves me....

all the way to Africa! I always say "Sahara, Mommy loves you all the way to the moon" so the other day she tells me that she loves me all the way to Africa! How cute!

Flu Flu Flu go away

Wow that was horrible. For 2 days I was bed ridden and looked scary! My hubby stepped up (woohoo) and took my place this week in the kids life. He's usually in the background playing video games, on the computer, or painting. So with me out of commission someone had to run this house and he did it. Yes, of course I had to hear how tired he was working and then coming home dealing w/kids, dinner, homework, and clean-up. Hey dude I do this everyday I know how tiring it is but it needs to be done!

Tomorrow, I do have a lot of catch up on housework and laundry but its not as bad as I was thinking. On Friday I was suppose to go to a field trip w/Ronnell's school and I'm still debating on going but my hubby promises to go. We have to drive our own kids so one parent has to go at least.

When I get up and do things the sweats still get me and I get all dizzy. Tomorrow I better be able to clean w/o passing out!

Thanks to all my friends for all their good thoughts!!!

Who has 8200 emails????

I do...geesh do you think I need to clean out my inbox! But that takes up way too much time. Eye Roll Eye Roll....I'm going to start working on it tonight. Maybe I might be more productive if I didn't have clutter on my computer too! Need to set up new folders and DELETE DELETE!

My Zumba Classes

Went to my 2nd class last night and still lovin it! I couldn't get down as low as the teacher wanted me to but I still did a damn good job. It was easier this time but the steps are hard to follow when its in fast mode. Or it could just me....I pretty sure its just me. I've always had a hard time figuring out dance steps when being taught. I still have to question right and left when I'm doing the steps, ugh! I am dedicated to do this for 12 weeks! I will post every week to let my family/friends know I'm still going strong!

I also do Wii Fit and My Fitness coach 2-4x a week. Getting ready for summer and some cute clothes....no mommy clothes! Watch out world!

18 Unexpected Organizers~Great Article

My house is in dire need of a SPRING cleaning so I'm getting all my good advice from the web & magazines. Today I came across an article about Unexpected Organizers and they had some awesome ideas.

That should bring you right to the article.

My "fav" is : #14. Empty suitcases are a missed opportunity! Remember, there are some things you just don’t need to unpack, like your travel hairdryer, electric adapters, sleep mask, neck pillow, earplugs and your restocked travel makeup kit.

I also use my suitcases to store clothes I'm not wearing. I don't travel much, lol!

Ants...GO AWAY!!!

It's been raining for weeks here and the last 2 days we've had STROMS so these lil annoying ants been trying to come in our house and kick it! Ummm NO WAY! They love the bathroom and the kitchen. Nothing for them to be munching on but I hate ants in my house. It doesn't help that this damn house plus every other house on this block is on an ant community. All my neighbors have the same problem. My landlord sprays around the house every couple months so that helps a lot but this rain is not helping the NO ANTS rule in my house.

Lil Mama hooked on Build a Bear Wii game...

Last night we went to Gamestop to get some used games. We each picked one out~ Lil man got a Star Wars game, Hubby got Afro Samurai, Lil Mama got BAB, and I got My Fitness Coach.

Last night both kids played their games but Lil Mama had a hard time shutting if off. She was having a blast and the games were perfect for her. She loved all the mini games plus finding all the cool treasures. I had to take her away screaming and kicking.

She woke up this morning and first thing she wanted to do was play BAB. I asked if she could please eat first, yep that wasn't happening. She needed to get more puzzle pieces and was obsessed. The Wii is so different (JMO) then lets say PS2 because on the Wii your movement is how you play the game. She is not sitting that's for sure....she was on her feet all day running around playing this game. I know its not right to let her play for hours but she had so much fun with her new game and she will be back to normal soon. I had to put a timer on her and she is not allowed to play until tomorrow after lunch. I'll be at work so good luck daddy, lol!!!!

Plus while she played I got A LOT done. I know I'm a bad mom but hey she had fun and I got work done. No harm done and it was for 1 day only. She has to get it out of her system. Plus this is the first game she ever liked this much. She was able to understand and it is FUN. Don't tell but I played too!

I did My Fitness Coach today and wow I'm going to get my workout on! Tell you more later!

Getting Healthy

I'm doing the Wii at least 3-4 times a week. Haven't lost much but I do have more energy and I can live with that! I have at least 200 things to do a day so more energy is what I need!

I'm also doing Zumba once a week for an hour. I'm still sore from Monday's class. I loved the class and looking forward to Mondays.

Drinking water more. I'm not a big water drinker so this is hard but I'm doing it. I have at least 3-4 glasses a day. I think I'm going to get me one of those big water jugs that have a top and just drink that every day. Downfall is I have to go Pee a lot!

Getting enough sleep is not a problem these days. Before kids I always had a hard time sleeping but now that I'm busy all day when it hits 10pm I ready to pass out. I get up at 6:30am so that is plenty of sleep. I wish I could stay up longer because I do have a lot I want to do and never enough time.

I have a lot more energy than I did lets say a month ago! I'm going home in April and I would love to be at least 20 lbs lighter. I'm thinking of my health and staying around for years to see my young ones grow up.

Eating right is my biggest problem. I rarely eat breakfast and yes I know that is wrong. Lunch I usually have a salad or sandwich. Dinner I cook pretty healthy but its the late night snacking that kills me. Ugh! I will work on that. I tried eating fruit but its so hard to give up my chocolate. I'm trying but it is hard, lol!

Zumba

Oh my Goodness I did a Zumba class last night and I LOVED IT! For my chubby butt to say I LOVED an exercise class that is BIG! I enjoyed it because it was dance plus exercise and that is what I like to do. I highly recommend these classes or get the video tapes. I had fun shaking my booty!

Before Kids.....

I would have bought these shoes in a heartbeat!!!

I feel I would trip, fall and hurt myself if I wore these suckers now. The only time I dress up is when I go Lil Man's school. That's sad. I really don't have any other destinations that require me to dress up so that's WHY my shoe collection is slippers and tennis shoes. Oh my, I have lost my love for shoes...help me!
