Changing and mystery solving

I solved a few mysteries over the last couple of days. First, JR really wants a dog, which is where Logan got the idea that he wants a puppy. I think that JR also talked him into wwanting a brother as well - hopefully he was joking:0 Logan also got the idea to paint his room green from JR. Apparently JR asked what color he wanted to paint it and he said purple...of course JR didn't like that so he talked him into green! Those boys are going to kill me!

Last night I went grocery shopping, we are starting our diet again...at least we were supposed to. Granted, we have only gotten through breakfast, but so far I'm doing GREAT - LOL! The problem is that JR just got asked to go to Houston for the rest of this week since the Houston office needs help. So, I asked if the kids and I could come along. I mean, I don't really want to be here alone with the kids for 4 days. He is supposed to find out and let me know. I would really like to see my Nanny and some other friends and family in the Houston area. But, if we go to Houston, I can't exactly cook, so we will have to postpone the diet until next week:( Which sucks because I just got my head wrapped around doing it. I weighed myself last night and this morning, I weigh 130 on the dot, I am not worried about losing weight...I still have the same huge pouch of stomach fat, but oh well. I am only doing the diet to help JR because he still wants to lose another 60-70 pounds, so we are back at it. I will say, that I am happy to know that since we haven't been following the diet since MAY, JR has only gained back about 5 -7 pounds. He is starting at 290, so I guess we will see how it goes this time around. I did warn him though that the weight may not actually fall off like it did the first time, but we will see! So, no more sodas for me:( and back to 4 meals a day...which is actually good for me, because I have found that I have once again gotten in the habit of only eating once or twice a day.

As far as the house goes....everything seems to be going great. The problems we saw before have all been fixed. It is just coming along so fast. The electrical and plumbing have all been done, I know we are still waiting on the cable stuff to be done. I haven't actually been by since mid week last week, so I am going to try to go by today. We should be having our dry wall conference at the end of this week...which I dont know how if we will be in Houston. Maybe we can do it this weekend or maybe Monday??? When they called last weekend, the builder said we should still be set to close by mid Feb. if everything stays on schedule. The selling agent at the office says the deadline is March 7 to have the house finished. So it looks like we are still ahead of schedule. YAY
