BABY STEPS

Can you believe how time flies? My mind is somehow lost in twilight zone with the mentality that it was just Christmas a while ago. We were busy getting the house ready, decorating, the gifts and the family dinner. And now the next big occasion to celebrate is Easter. I feel like everything is moving fast forward while I am at pause.

In 4 months I will be going on my much anticipated vacation to the Philippines and I haven't begun to prepare my body for summer. Yup, Spring is just around the corner trying to lurk its little head from under Winters wing. I have tried working out on my own but I just need to be consistent and stay motivated. I don't want to resort to getting some prescription weight loss supplement like adipex to help me loose some weight. It has been on mind but I would really like to do it on my own first, then if I don't see any improvement then I will need all the help I can get. Come spring I am going to try and go running or just walking in our development. All I need is some baby steps to help me reach my goal.

BOOSTER

I love looking at men with big bodies but not to big. My attraction for men has always run on the bigger side specially when it comes to physical appearance. That is why my husband is seriously thinking about loosing weight and working out again. He will have plenty of time in his hands after the first week of April. But, seeing that he we have surgery I don't know what the doctors recommendation is when it comes to working out. He does not really need to do a heavy work out, he just needs to loose weight and trim down his waist line. If he does decide to really work out and see great results he needs a testosterone boosters that work. Its just not to help him gain muscle fast but it will also help with his strength, stamina, sexual vigor and even energy. He needs to do this not just to look good in my eyes but also to stay healthy.

ONLINE FUN

As a stay at home mom, I am the first one to admit that I do get bored. Who wouldn't get bored with just a child and pets for company and just the walls in the house. I can only take so much and I crave the freedom of going outside at times. While its still cold I do enjoy playing some great games online. I love playing Westward 1-4 but I was not able to play the 3rd installment since our old computer before didn't have the right video card for the game. But ever since we got the new computer I have not had any problems with playing online games. In fact the graphics of the games I play have gotten better. I guess our new computer has better graphics and the video card is bigger and more advanced. The downside to playing to much games online? Your house hold chores suffer and your house will end up looking like a mess.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Beauty is not real. Beauty only exists in perception.

It is true that each individual has a different perception of what beauty embodies. Beauty comes in different color, size, height,in short it comes in different package. I am by no means a connoisseur when it comes to beauty but I do appreciate all things that are beautiful. When you look in the mirror, do you see someone beautiful? My answer would be, it depends on how I feel that day. Emotions play a big part on how we look. On a good day, I look alright but on a bad day I look like a hag! Specially when I see all the imperfections on my face. I just have two concern about my face, one uneven skin tone and wrinkles. I must admit I have not tried any wrinkle cream to help minimize those unsightly folds and wrinkles on my face. If I don't take better care of my skin it looks like I am going to really need it soon. I use to fuss about looking to young,now I fuss that I look to old. I'm hoping that I will be one of those few women who grows old beautifully but it has to come from the heart.

GIRL SCOUT DUTY

Yesterday, MIL and I had to take Kayla and Kelly to Girl Scout since Ralph the usual driver for the girls was at work. I dread taking her to GS with Kaitlyn in the car, all the princess bruiser wants to do is tag along with her sister. She had such a bad temper tantrum in the car when I walked both girls inside the school, she was still crying when I came back. We took a ride to calm her down but it didn't help much it only made it worse, she didn't want to leave her big sister.

To avoid another episode of her having a fit while I picked up both the girls I decided to bring her with me. We got locked out of the school, it was a good thing that there was two other moms trying to get it. Thinking that my husband was inside they called his phone until they realized that I was Ralph's wife,lol. We ended up talking about exercising and loosing weight. On mom was even telling us about the biggest loser competition she was having with her friends. I found out that Kathy on of the girls mom loved rice as much as I did. We talked about different exercises, diets and finally all agreed that we would all love a quick trim to quickly shed the pounds.Wouldn't it be just fine and dandy if we could all loose the weight with one click of the hand? I got to tell them about my near fainting spell when I tried the Wii Active Sport. We all ended up talking about the aches and pain that is associated with exercising. What can I say " NO PAIN, NO GAIN". So, I'm going to have to suck it up and face the music with lots of Tylenol, lol.

LETS HOP TO IHOP

Photo below was taken a couple of days after Valentines. Ralph came home from his doctors appointment and took both Kaitlyn and I on a date to IHOP. We always love to hop for IHOP. Even though Kaitlyn and I already ate breakfast we couldn't very well pass of the chance to go out and be with daddy. Ralph had some steak, eggs and pancakes while I ordered the chicken ceasar that was way way way too much.By the time we left I was so stuffed and didn't even eat dinner that night. I only had a bit of snack here and there.




The mother and daughter tandem, big sister was missing since she was in school. Don't we look cute together?

2 THUMBS UP

Our 3rd year wedding anniversary was spent with our kids plus two,lol. Our friend was in a bind and needed someone to watch her kids. She knew that Valentines was our anniversary but she has no one else to watch her kids. I told her we would just take them. Besides they would have a blast here at the house. It was a chore though putting 4 kids in the car,hahaha. Kaitlyn cried her head off since she all the three other kids were sitting on the back while she had to sit in her carseat. What a bad start but she eventually settle down and was fine after that. We head off to our favorite Chinese Buffet and the kids were so behaved. It was just a simple celebration to mark our third year.

Picture was taken inside the restaurant in front of the fountain with fish. See the thumbs up? They were so happy and had so much ice cream to eat. I was so stuffed up to my neck with all the yummy food that was on display. How did you guys celebrate the day of hearts?

BOOHOOOO

Waaa waaaa waahhh... Tiger is so Pathetic! Everything about his press conference was a joke and scripted. If you are really sorry you could have at least say it in his own words without reading his line, script whatever you may want to call it. I could only stomach watching a few minutes of his video since it felt like he was giving a speech to a bunch of kids, lol...Tiger you wanna know why you did all those stupid and irresponsible things? Its located between your legs, your dick should be on your forehead instead! Tiger is only doing this because he is loosing money and he is loosing his image, no he already lost it! Booo to you Tiger and what a waste of talent!!

A PROCESS

Have I shared that my BIL is applying for a new job? This time it will be for a public bus company in Wilmington City. Ralph took him there last week so he could fill up an application or something. Looking for jobs is really hard, its a slim picking out there. A lot of vultures (jobless people) are out flying up in the air looking for the big chunk of meat. The waiting and anticipation adds to the stress of not having work to support oneself. I always wonder why it takes so long for companies to get back to you. Ralph then said that its important that these company that are hiring have everything checked out like work experience, criminal records and even international background check. My BIL that applied to be a Police Officer had gone thru a lot of process identical to what I just mentiones. I guess its the companies way of justifying why you would be a valuable asset to its company.

CAT IN A HISSY FIT

Check out this video that had me really laughing, lol....

GET READY TO DANCE

Hey, hey, hey, is everybody ready for the coming Summer? I got off the phone talking to my friend and realized that even though its still a few more months before Summer its about time I start thinking about loosing the belly fat. Yup, I have such a big problem around my stomach area. After having a child, I never seemed to have gotten my figure back and that tight stomach. Not that I had a washboard stomach to start with but I was bikini acceptable. She mentioned about doing a lot of things including taking some top fat burners, working out and of course dancing. When she mentioned dancing that gave me and idea, I used to love dancing. In high school we even won a dancing competition grabbing the grand prize from the seniors. Dancing does help you burn fat while making it much more enjoyable and fun. I should start dancing around the house while doing housework but the question is, should I wear heels while dancing or not? Care to help me out with this dilemma?

PLAGUED

Worrying about pimples and acne is the one thing that my cousin is plagued with until now. Before hitting puberty he had such clear smooth skin but that all changed. Puberty was just cruel to him, specially on his face. Even now at almost 30 he still has a lot of acne and pimples ruining the skin on his face. He had tried a lot things to treat acne with soap, astringents, creams, pill but nothing seem to work. I guess he really has to go to a Dermatologist to find out what treatment is safe and compatible for his skin. I know my cousin is a happy go lucky guy but I know deep inside he is embarrass about the way his skin looks. Also with his line of work as a call center agents, stress, and lack of sleep only aggravates his skin situation. I hope he finally finds the right treatment to finally get rid of his acne and pimples.

REMINISCING THE DAYS

Lets talk about the things I miss and do not miss when I was pregnant. I missed the feeling of my stomach being heavy with my child. The constant movement of the baby that could either be pleasant and painful. The instant glow that mothers get when they are pregnant. Eating anything I could get my hands on without worrying about my stomach getting bigger as it already is, lol. I don't miss the constant throwing up and not being able to eat in the process. The nauseating feeling all the time and being car sick. Constipation that lead to a slight hemorrhoid which got me so worried. You see constipation is associated with pregnancy and when constipation arises your eventually going to get it or not. In my case I got it before and after I had the baby. While pregnant I didn't want to use any medication for fear of what it might do to my unborn child. It was after I had the baby that I got an over the counter medication. Had I know that an all natural hemorrhoid treatments was available I would have had relief while pregnant. At least now when I do get pregnant the second time around I know that their is a medication that is safe for me to use.

Back to reminiscing the good parts of my pregnant days. I was just different while I was pregnat. Believe it or not I felt sexy and more of a woman. People are more accommodating to pregnant women and they get a kick out of touching your belly. I loved dressing up and to emphasize my bump. I don't know If I'll ever have another baby but hopefully it will happen.

RELAXED DAY

Today was slow and relaxed day for me. Kayla had a sleep over at our neighbors house with her best friend Tracy. I can't say I slept in with the princess bruiser trying to wake me up every 10 minutes. BIL Angelo came by the house so Ralph could take him somewhere to try for a job. Ralph also had a few errands to run while he was out and took Kayla with them. When they all got back we usually gather around in the kitchen and had something to eat. We talked about the recent snow storms and how everybody is still digging themselves out. MIL got a chance to talk to her boys about getting a colon and body cleanse that would be helpful to her health. She really wants to get this done and wanted to find to find out more about it. Since she will be turning 67 this Feb 28 she only wants to make sure she is healthy and strong. Besides it always good to find out about your physical well being before you get sick and things get worse.

SLEEPING IN OR NOT

Winter has been harsh on the east coast. We have been hit not just one but two snowstorm in a matter of a week. Kayla had no school for the whole week due to the inclement weather. I would think I'd get to sleep in the morning since we didn't have to wake up early. I was totally wrong, I sleep in my kids room and they do not sleep in. The latest that they woke up this whole week was around 7:30 a.m., are you freaking kidding me? How can you go back to sleep with a 6 yr old and a 2 yr old jumping up and down the bed and crawling all over you. Plus you hear all the yelling and screaming of going after the same toys. I have eye bags underneath my eye bags and dark circles under my eye that could put a raccoon to shame. My husband wonders why I look so tired when he sees me and worries about me in the process. The problem that I had with eye bags before just got worse. Its high time I get some best eye creams that is out in the market. I'm sure finding the right cream for my eye bags and dark circles isn't going to be a problem. I wish sand man would sprinkle a little extra sleeping dust on my kids so they can sleep in and I can finally get rid of my eye baggage,lol..
