So this weekend was pretty great. JR worked on Saturday, but got home around 3:00 which was nice. We went to our friend Desmond's house for a bit before I went with his fiance, Stephanie, to one of her bridal "kitchen" showers. It was a pretty cool thing. Weeks before everyone submitted different recipes and Desmond's mom had a book printed up with all of them along with pictures of Stephanie and the person who submitted the recipe. Apparently, the only thing she know how to make is cookies, so I hope the recipe book comes to good use for her! LOL She got all kinds of new kitchen supplies (i.e. dishes, flatware, spatulas, etc.) Anyway, it was really neat. Afterwards, Landry and I headed back to Desmond's for some ribs, and then I loaded up the kids and took them home to put them in bed (it was 9:00 - and I really dont want to get them off schedule). Luckily they live less than 5 minutes away, so that was nice. JR stayed to hang out a bit, which was fine.
Sunday, we got up and I finally primed the kitchen wall. I was really tired of staring at that awful orange! We didn't really do much of anything else, except watch movies with Logan.
Today, I got up and painted the kitchen wall the dark gray color, so now I am just waiting for it to dry so I can pull of the tape! JR called to tell me he would be working late today. One of the guys he works with broke is ankle this weekend, so he wont be able to work in the field, and the other field tech needed to take half a day off, so JR is covering both of their jobs this afternoon/evening, plus taking care of his. He probably wont get home until 8 or 9. :( He works again this Saturday. I am sad. Not like crying sad but I just wish we could have a whole weekend together. But, he keeps reminding me that it will be better for us in the long run. We are (well - HE is) almost out of debt, other than his student loan, which will take another 8-10 years to pay off! I on the other hand still have about 12 grand of debt (damn student loans!) We are excited though because it is hard to save money when everything you save is going to pay off debt. So the extra money will really help with the savings. Plus, I am sad to say that it has been 3 months since we have added any money to the kids college funds. But with all the overtime we can fix that! YAY. JR is working 70-75 hour weeks...I miss him. We are planning on taking a great vacation! I want to wait until the end of the year and go skiing! I haven't been in a while and would truly love it. Plus, I really want to talk my whole family into going...maybe doing Christmas in Ruidoso, New Mexico! We used to go there every summer and stay at my grand parents cabin, which they have now sold, but we could rent one! I think it would be a blast!
I have not been very consistant on working on getting Landry to take a bottle. She will be 6 months old in 3 days. The only way I can get her to take formula is through the syringe, so I dont really know what I want to do. I dont know if I should keep trying, or just wait until she is able to take a sippy cup. I know I need to be more consistant though. The thing that makes me want to keep trying the most is so that JR and I can have a night out alone. I cant really get a babysitter if she wont take a bottle! ughhhhh
The last two nights, Landry has slept pretty much through the night. Saturday night she went down at 9:20 and didn't get up until 4:30. She ate, went back to bed and got up at 7:30 for the day. Last night, she went to be at 9:25 and didn't get up until 5:30. She ate, went back to sleep and we got up at 8:15 for the day! I can only hope she keeps this up. Her doctors appointment got recheduled for next Monday! Cant wait to hear what they have to say! She is seriously so tiny. She only weighs about 16 pounds...which is another reason, I would like to get her on formula...she needs to put on some weight!
I am starting my INSANITY work out again tonight...If we are going to Mother's Day at the beach again, I would really like to tone things up. I am happy with the number on the scale -137!!!!!!!! But I am not really thrilled with the fact that there is still flab...ughhh. I am tired of being the only woman there with all my clothes ON. LOL

Oh my goodness you sound just like Travis and I. I miss the pants of that guy. He's working 70-hour weeks and keeps saying its for the "good of the family". UGH. Can't argue with maturity.
OH. And you weigh less than me now. Beeotch. ;)
Yeah, I know it is for the greater good. It will make it easier on us in the long and short run! As of now, we are paying an extra $10 on all of our payments (ring, student loans, etc.) But I would love to pay an extra $25...I can't believe that $25 more a month can take off YEARS. I am just ready for him to have a full weekend off! But, if the extra work leads to a vacation...I am sure it will be worth it.
As for the weight...I think you need to get on the scale. There is no way I way less than you. You are much skinnier than me!
By the way I am going to forward you the Mother's Day at the beach invitation.
