They started putting the brick up yesteray!! YAY! I took a few photos from my phone (which sucks...can't wait until March for my upgrade)..they are on facebook, but I am going to try to get by there today and take a picture, or I may send JR over to take a picture...his phone camera is much better than mine. But I will either post a photo later today or tomorrow. They weren't able to start on the sheet rock or dry wall yesterday because they were waiting for the inspectors but hopefully today...I need them to get this thing built...NOW because I need this loan thing to be over with!
Today is day 3 of our diet, and I have lost 2 pounds. I asked JR if he would still love me if all I had for breasts were nipples and a flap of skin. I told him if I lost much more weight that is exactly what would happen because while I have plenty of fat in my belly, hips, butt, and thighs...the only place that ever shrinks is my boobs! In a way, all of this was a semi-joke...I dont think I will lose much more, I think more than anything this is a result of losing water weight. No more Dr. Pepper:( But JR did say that if I could keep up the diet and get him under the 225 mark, then he would let me get a boob job! Hell, if he gets under 225, I may only weigh 90 lbs! LOL I told him he should move it to 240...we went back and forth, so I said if he gets under 225, I am getting lipo in my thighs, a tummy tuck, new boobs, something done with my flabby butt, and probably botox, and something done to my neck which seems to have excess skin! HAHAHAHAHA I figured if we were going to point out things that I found wrong with myself, I might as well name them all. LOL IF....a big IF he makes it under 225, he will have lost over 150 pounds. I think that he will probably do what he did before...I think the weight is going to fall off over the next few weeks, probably until he reaches about 260....but then I think its going to be a lot harder for the weight to come off. So I guess we will see, but I just dont think JR's body shape was ment to be thin....healthy and in shape - Absolutely...but I am a little afraid he is going to look anorexic at 225. His original goal was 250, and now he's lowered it...but I think he should aim more for 240, I think it's more realistic, but like I said, we will see.
Yesterday was Logan's first day back to school. He was so sweet when we said good bye. Big hugs, and when I stood up, he said wait mommy, i need a kiss remember? Awwww. Then he gave his sister a big hug and told her to be a good girl for mommy! Sometimes I feel like my heart could actually burst from being so filled with love. I know it sounds cheesy, but sometimes I catch myself just staring at one of my kids and thinking, " I did that!" Of course I had a little help from JR, but I do find myself getting overwhelmed by how beautiful they are, or how proud I am of them. Sure they aren't perfect, but they are pretty darn close. Now, on the other side of this...I am Logan has a tendency to CRY about everything. I dont know if it's just because he is tender hearted, or because he thinks I will coddle hime if he cries. Now, I wont lie, I do coddle my kids - I know I do it, but I do try to limit it. Usually if he is crying because he's hurt, I look at the injury, and if it's minor - I either tell him to brush it off, or I try to make him laugh...but that isn't really what I am talking about....example: "Logan, be quiet." I don't yell it, I dont even say it in a mean voice, but basically he just starts wailing and I can't decide if its because he's tender hearted or because he wants to talk loudly and I told him to stop. It's driving me crazy. I know some of it is just age, but crying about every little thing is going to put me in an early grave. Last night, he was playing with JR, and jumped down on JR's baby maker...JR of course howled, and Logan immediately started crying. Jr didn't even yell at him, so I said, "Logan, stop crying." which just made him cry harder. Finally I got him to listen to me, so I explained that Daddy wasn't mad at him, but that when he jumped on Daddy, it hurt him. I explained that it was an accident, and that instead of crying, he should tell his Daddy that it was an accident, and that he was sorry - and then be more careful...but there was no need to cry. I guess it kind of worked because later he knocked Landry over (on accident) and he said, "Sorry sissy, it was an accident." Then he helped her up and asked if she was okay. Then When Landry hit him with a toy, he told her it's okay sissy, it was an accident...just be careful! So I am trying to use each moment as a teaching opportunity, and hopefully he will get it, but man it's driving me nuts!
Because of building the house, I dont think we are going to be able to go on our cruise...which really sucks. One, because it pretty much already paid for, and two, because I have literally been looking forward to this since June. If you remember..this was supposed to me my birthday present from last year....YAAAAAAAAY(Sarcasm). So now JR is telling me its either the wood floors or the cruise. Insert several four letter words here! I haven't totally given up hope, as I am still trying to rearrange some funds to see if we can still do it, but JR and I decided that if we aren't able to go then we are going to give the cruise to my parents. One, it will be a nice gift to them for letting us stay there for a month, and two June 7 will be their 25 wedding anniversary. So, part of me thinks I should just give it to them as an anniversary gift, because I have always planned to do something like this for their 25th, and yet a selfish part of me still really wants to go. I have never left the country, I've never been on a cruise, and obviously this is something I picked out for my birthday last year!!! So, I will probably end up gifting it, and JR says we can book a cruise for the end of the year, or for next year....YAAAAAAAAAAY (Sarcasm) I get to wait another whole year...so, basically I will be 30 by the time I get my gift for my 28th birthday...which will totally mess up my plans to head back to Vegas for my 30th!
