On the road to getting healthy..... I hope

So I decided I really needed to start getting more active.  I was starting to feel like I was 80 years old!  I have reduced my wine down substantially!  I am sure that is doing nothing for my weight.  I actually was happy to find out that I weighed less than I thought I did.  Wohoo! But.. still flabby so I still need to work on it.  I got put on a medicine to quit smoking.  Although I don't hardly smoke at all during the day, I normally make up for it on weekends.  I guess I am going to have to go to Jessie's and do Dance Fit and do dancing with the stars at my house.  I sure would like a Wii! Wish me luck!

Out of the Mouths of Babes

MaKenzie has said some funny and shocking things the past few days.  It just makes me wonder where she gets it from!

1.  We were watching an IAM's dog food commercial (I think it was that brand) where the dog lost 2 pounds on the weight management food.  She tells me that I need to buy that for Daddy and Austin since it works so good!  I just had to giggle!

2.  She has what we think is pink eye so today I have taken her to my office to hang out with me until her doctor's appt.  We are taking turns spelling words in the car.  I am giving her words like star, moon, sheep.  What word does she give me???? I am desperate (which is three words but oh well).  I asked her where she got that from and she says... I just thunk it up. Crazy!

3.  Last but not least, this is the shocking one.  MaKenzie asks me if I would be alive when she got married.  How a 7 year old would even wonder that is beyond me!  Of course I told her I would but it sure makes me wonder if I am living a life suitable to make sure I am here when she walks down the aisle!

I just wonder what she is going to say next.  Kids really take in everything.

Fast Weekends

I can't believe it is Monday again.  It seems like the weekends go by so fast.  I really thought this morning about all of the weekends that I spend going and doing and realized that now my kids are older (other than MaKenzie) and are out of the stage where they actually want to hang out with me and Troy.  I think I should have spent less weekends in the hustle and bustle of life.  We did actually all watch a movie together on Saturday.  It was the first time in a long time that we all were laughing together. It was truly enjoyable!  I sure hope I have more moments like that with my kids.
