And she's off (this will be boring, just letting you know!)

I have decided enough is enough. I lost 30 lbs last year on WW and have gained back all but 10 of it, and it's almost summer!!!!! So, I joined a totally free (which means I do all the work and set myself up to fail!) online program called SparkPeople and am starting it today. For the next 2 weeks, my simple goals are to drink 8 glasses of water a day, NOT eat in front of the TV, and do some kind of excercise while watching TV for 15 minutes per day. Doesn't sound like much, but I like it. I also have to keep count of what I'm eating, and I have to start excercising. The part I can't get is the 8 hours of sleep....unless you count the afternoon I am trying to take once a day (maybe getting an hour to two hours) added to the almost 5.5 hours I am getting on those nights that I work. I guess I will just have to attempt to get as much as I can, right? So one of the goals is to journal about it, so why not do it in my blog? I won't even tell you how much I weigh right now, but my target healthy weight needs to be below 136---WOW! Can't remember the last time I weighed that, and I wasn't heavy until right before I got pregnant with Zac, which was only 6 years ago. So with that said, there goes the weight! Wish me luck!!!!!!

Now, onto the post of my weekend. All was nice...Terry and I took the kids to this cool new park I found last week and fished yesterday. It was so nice to be doing family things. The night before, we had the worst night with Lillie though. How can one little human being stay up for SOOOO long and then scream, and I mean scream her little head off--where does the energy come from at 11pm? Her and Zac have been managing about 10 hours of sleep per night, and they need more. They just play in their rooms when they go to bed, but lately, Zac has fallen asleep and Lillie stays up, goes to the playroom, doesn't listen to us and plays the night away. So Saturday night, we kept putting her back in bed and finally when we put her back for the millionth time, we yelled at her and shut her door. We won't ever do that again, unless we are TRYING to wake the whole town! She got herself so worked up that we have never seen anything like it. I had to take her downstairs and rock her to get her to go to sleep and we haven't done that in over a year. Maybe she's upset that she is going to preschool tomorrow for observation and her big bro Zac won't be there? Or maybe she's just testing us? Or maybe she's just plain tired? Who knows...all I know is, I was happy to be at work last night, rather than battling Lil at bedtime.

Poor Terry too...the cat has managed to puke two times on the carpet this weekend...one of which was last night. What does T do? He wipes it up with a damp towel and leaves the stain for ME to clean up today. I guess it's my job to clean the puke stains out of carpet? Says who? Geesh! Just once I would like for him to do what I do...just once!
