Back to the "real world" starting monday...

After my what seemed to be a waaayyy to fast vaca the next semester starts again on monday. I like school because it gives me some sort of satisfaction because I am doing something that will be positive for my family, but I hate the stress of it all. I am taking only Biology on campus on Tues and Thurs nights the rest are just online classes minus the Sat arobics class that I dont wanna do but it will be good for me so im forcing myself! Its gunna be a tough semester but i have decided if it seems too much I will drop a class if I need to. Im taking a health class which I do not need for the RN program ay mt current college, but i do need it for my transfer to a university So I figure Its online I might as well get it out of the way. From my experience online classes are harder than in class beacuse basically you are on your own for the most part and thats pretty tuff!!! Having three kids and a husband though it is hard to be gone for more than two evenings for all of us so it seems like a better option. Wish me luck..so far I have just about a 4.0 so It's been working thus far!

Oh the life of a stay at home mom heehee......

So lets start with last night I was cleaning up from dinner I hadent sat down in probally two hours. My husband is on the couch playing nickjr.com with Dominic, my oldest is cleaning her room then I find my baby girl sitting in the laundry basket watching T.V. relaxed as can be is was hilarious. Then the dog is in the crate making snoring grunts sound asleep.... sometimes I just gotta giggle a bit at the scenery! Then just a bit ago im sitting on the couch googleing recipes to make play dough with the kids my son was in his room for about 5 min there is nothing he can do to hurt himself or really get into trouble in there (so I thought) He was being a bit too quiet so I checked on him he took his matress of his bed and ripped part of the top off (he had no sheets on it beacuse they are currently in the washer) OOOOhhhh my gosh i was mad!!! What the heck ?? Just another moment I gotta laugh it off. Then as I was typing this he pulls his chair to the microwave im watching because I wanna see what he is doing he then proceeds to put his bunny in the microwave and is trying to figure out how to turn it on!!! Ya i had to intervene but my goodness that boy!!! Are other kids his age this crazy??? Never a dull moment in the Gomez house thats for sure!!! So here are the pics have a good laugh...

Im jumpin on the wagon.....

So my bff Alicia has decided to make a post of her weight loss every week on her blog which inspired me to join with her. We are neighbors so we can definently be supporters of one another!! My weight is not such a big problem, but my eating habits are. I eat terrible basically my diet consists of junk junk junk!! I drink soda by the tons and eat ice cream and candy all day its pretty bad. My family has a history of diabetes and heart problems.My dad and me are the biggest junk food junkies of all time. He has diabetes and high blood pressure and takes meds for both. My mom had a heart attack I think she was only in her late thrities or early fourties. She was over weight and ate basically like me and smokes. I dont smoke never have, but most of our life syle habits with eating are very similar. She has in the last few years lost like 80 pounds i believe it is and all by herself!! I am so proud of her for that and now she is not overweight and if she can lose all that I know I can lose 15 lbs!!! My health though is my main concern so my eating is what I need to change, and in the mean while losing a few lbs will be great!! I have 3 kids I need to be healthy and set examples for a husband who himself has lost 80 lbs in like 6 months and a family who loves me and needs me. I dont want me kids to fall into the junk food ways I have and struggle with it like I do so i need to change it sometime. Soon I will post my weight with pics im goin thru my monthly cycle so i will wait till thats over haha. Approximatly I weigh about 149 last time I checked I wear a size 8 I now that and Im 5'6 ish.

Deals, Deals and Deals

Man, I wish I had the money to shop for xmas stuff after the holiday for next xmas!! I went to the mall today with a friend and I cant believe how cheap all the xmas stuff is!! The have the personlized ornaments for like 3 bucks and bath and body works gift sets for dirt cheap just tons of things that make great gifts just discounted down so much!! Not including xmas books for the kids and decorations, if I could buy a year ahead of time I would be set we would save so much. I even think about buying the kids xmas outfits and stuff ahead of time we would save soooo much its so much cheaper!!!

So today in the morn I basically cleaned house all morn to aftenoon and my hubby hung all the lights and stuff outside since we dident get to that last weekend and the rugrats shuffled between us both. The fun came this eve though we went to my dads house and my stepmom made a lovely dinner then we went to see the xmas boat show ,and the kids dugg that of course!!! It was freezing though luckily we got a front row seat and was able to park the car right at the endge of the Delta and we could just sit in the back of the car with the back open and watch!! Afterwards we got some Marie Calanders pie that was scrumptous so we had a really nice night. I just absolutely love the holidays...sitting at night in the living room smelling my tree and looking at the lights is so nice..
