Daily Life update

I got a great PM from Ro today and she brought up some good points. Maybe instead only focusing on "food" we need to just converse about what is going on in our lives, good and bad. Lord knows we all have food demons, but maybe we do not need to talk about only that. So I thought I would start and give you all a brief look into my world.

*Please stop reading now if you are prone to fall asleep from bordem as my life is not that exciting*

We are in the midst of Halloween at my house. My kids have just picked out their costumes, Optimus Prime Transformer for my 4 year old son and a Mermaid for my almost 3 year old daughter. We have also been spending allot of time at The Dollar Tree (if you have one by you, go) they have some nice Halloween decorations and you can't beat the price.

My husband has also come to the conclusion that he needs to drop a few(75-100) pounds and is looking into the lap band. He is currently in a wheelchair, he has spina bifida, and thinks dropping some weight more make him more mobile. He used to walk, but as his weight crept up his stability got worse.

Not much else going on down here is the Sunshine State, just wi**** would get a little cooler. Can't wait for Christmas, my favorite time of year. My dh had this loose rule about putting Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving, but since my birthday falls on November 22 the Saturday before Thanksgiving and we had to cancel our trip to my home(Illinois) I have convinced him that would be a great day to put out all our decorations. I know weird, but it takes so long to get them all up (and down) that I want to enjoy them as long as possible.

So sit down with your water and spin a tale. Tell me what's going on with you?

Would it be super nice if we could focus on something else besides food? Hummm,,,,it makes me wonder, it makes me think but unfortunately I think we are destined to be controled by food. Do not get me wrong, now we are controled by food but in a much better way....We control what we eat and when, eventhoug sometimes we make wrong choices but I am sure that most of the time we make much better choices. We have to stop being so hard on ourselves and enjoy life!!!-easier said than done.

Anyways....what's going on with my life....work, husband, son, home and on top of that we are in the process of buying a townhouse which needs alots of updates so that's is going to keep me busy and motivated for a while...to many choices to make,,what color tile, how much to spend, how much work to do and so forth. However, one thing I know for sure is that in order to be able to do all the work I want I have to give up my habit of "lattes" from that expensive place all over town,,,,now I just get  it from my house...

BTW, I love xmas too and this year hopefully I will be able to have more decorations at my new place...can't wait for the colder wheather eiter.

I sure hope your husband is able to get his surgery soon enough so he can recover promptly and enjoy life with his beautiful wife and wonderful kids.

Love,

Bea

Glad to hear you are doing good.  I can totally relate to the "latte addiction.'' I did not tocuh the stuff until after surery and I bcam a Starbucks junkie.  Since we are trying to have another baby I have cut way back and only allwoing myself one a week.

Are you going to paint your new place?  I have been wanting to paint every room a diffrent coolor in my house.  So far I have painted my kids rooms and 2 walls in my living room red and then I got bored with painting.  Good luck picking out all the new stuff.  I bet it will turn out beautiful!!

Yes, we are going to paint among a "few" other things....it should be fun, and frustating at the same time..Wanna do so much but only have so little $$$$$ to spend. I will take it one day at the time.

Good Luck at you new HOME! 

Decorating =   Just wish that I could get Candice Olson to help me figure-out "What My Style" is.... before I flounder again!   Gotta get something done around here!!!!

I think that Candice has a budgeting section on one of her boards.. her own? or  Divine Design?
Seems like it "works" IF you know what you're doing OR have a great Team, including Chico!
  Don't think I can arrange all of that... How about you???
Smooches...

Never heard of Candice Olson,,,,will check it out and let you know

I love Halloween too!   My Favorite!!  Love the little kids dropping by ...  True Kid Stuff!

Your kids costumes sound cute...   Have you picked your costume yet?  Last year was GREAT!

Glad that your DH is getting ready for the Band! 

Our #2 son will be celebrating his marriage in November and DH wants to knock-off some Lbs too.  He recently hurt his knee and is bummed-out that he can't walk right now.  X-ray results will tell us more this week on what type of injury happened to the knee and if he needs Physical Therapy.

Good way to have increase the smiles by decorating on your Birthday!  Keep the Positives... there what makes life feel warm and fuzzy!  I Love Christmas... and then to get out of  SNOW!  It's a lot of fun for DH & I to visit our kid's homes now to see all of the work that they done to fancy-up into Christmas Decor...  Can't Wait!

I'll have to get back to you on my results, as I'm going to be scheduling an interior ultra sound soon.  That's the current plan!  The comparative CT showed additional fluid and now some cysts.  Hey, cysts are better than masses!  
   I'm going to get the testing done and get back to MY LIFE. 
XOXOXO

The familt is going to a Halloween Party so dh and I need a costume.  We are going as a Playboy Bunny and Hugh Heffner.  I am working on convincing my hubby to be the bunny, I think it would be hysterical!

Love It!!!

PLEASE have him go as Heffner... with a twist...!!!

Kinky Me... suggests...  add a bunch of Thongs with Bunny Tails... as Hugh has had his share of TAIL!! 

PG-13 Me... suggests... Don't let the KIDS see Daddy with the Thongs!!!!
