Random Thoughts

So, i joined facebook recently. I know I gave into peer pressure. And I have found a lot of friends from High School which is really cool. But I swear I think I was the only one that got out of High School, got married and started having kids. Or at least one of a very small handful of friends that did that. Most peoples oldest kids are around the age of my middle child which is 9. It makes me feel so old.
Otherwise I'm not sure what to think of the whole facebook thing. It has some games, which I have tried out, but don't much understand the point of them. Some quizzes, which are just plain silly. And you can update your status, which can be fun sometimes, but it makes me feel obligated to put something creative on there, and lets face it I am too sleep deprived to be creative most of the time. But it is something to occupy my time in the middle of the night while I try to stay awake.
I seem to have more friends that leave me little notes on facebook than on this blog so now I am trying to decide if any of this is worth it, or if I should get rid of it all and go back to my online journal that is just for little old me. I mean even my mother who tells people that I have a blog, doesn't read it. Instead she asks me what I have put on it lately and then says, good job. What's that about?
So that is where I am at. To blog or not to blog? That is the question.

Also on a side note, my weight loss total is 71 lbs. But it seems to have stopped so I need to figure out how to kick start it again. I have about 40-45 more lbs to lose.

Bragging Time

My oldest daughter is the most amazing artist. I am so jealous because I can barely draw a stick figure. Here is a picture she drew for me. She didn't trace it. To me, it's just absolutely amazing!!!

Things that irritate me

I love my children. Really I do. But I cannot stand it when they fight. It starts from the moment they walk into the door from school, and lasts sometimes past bedtime. It mainly comes from both of my sons. They both love to tease and torment their sisters. Could someone please explain to me what is so fun about making someone else cry???? And lately it seems like all they want to do is fight. AARRRRGGGHHH!!!

Weight Loss

I am not doing so good on losing weight lately. Well, I lost 1 lb in a 2 week period. But I guess the good news is I haven't gained anything. I am just maintaining right now. I haven't put forth a good effort into my diet lately. I have just had a million things going on between birthdays, weddings, programs, more sick kids and working a ton. So, while I am sad I haven't really lost anything, I haven't gained either and that makes me happy. It shows me that I can do this, and after I lose all the weight I want, I can keep it off during stressful times. I haven't fallen back to any bad habits such as betos, or raiding the vending machine at work during the middle of the night for chips and chocolate. I haven't had a Diet Coke since the end of January, and Diet Coke was by big time stress reliever. So, I have to say, I am proud of myself.
My total weight lost to date is 65 lbs.
