Tuesday Schmoosday

Yesterday Cash had his first t-ball practice. Wow. For me it leaves me with this bittersweet feeling; I am so happy for him to be old enough to make friends and 'have a life' outside of this house, but in the same I am completely saddened that he is old enough for any of this--why do kids grow up so fast?! Seems like it was yesterday that he was a little baby and it was just me and him during the day.... Now it is him, Crue, Bryn, and me! Anyways.... he absolutely LOVED t-ball!! Knowing how Cash is, I figured he would totally back out and not go through with it, but he totally surprised me by loving it and keeps asking when he gets to go back!!! Yay!!! As I sat in my skinny van yesterday watching him play and 'be a kid', I found myself smiling like an idiot. I am sure if people that were driving by saw me they were probably thinking I was a creeper or something haha.

Today I signed up to participate in the MS Walk in Amarillo in a couple of weeks. I am so excited to take my kids and be a part of that. My goal is to raise $225 in donations so I am hoping I can reach my goal by then! By signing up and taking my kids along with me, I hope to start a tradition of teaching them to help out organizations and just to generally become better citizens.

In other exciting, yet pointless news the new 16 & Pregnant starts tonight and I am so excited!!! Am I a total loser for looking forward to new shows coming on? Yes. Another one of my favorite shows started last night -- Secret Life of An American Teenager. I was so excited for it to come on and I put all the kids in bed, set down and turned it on and it SUCKED! Hopefully it gets better or I may have to stop watching it.

What else to talk about?? I ordered myself some stuff (which I NEVER do; I never buy anything for myself), which included a new purse and the Pioneer Woman's cookbooks, and I am sooo excited to start reading them! I absolutely love her!

My diet is going really good. I have been able to put up my new jeans I bought last month due to them being too big already! Go me! Don't get me wrong, there are so many times, like today, that I could make me some eggless cookie dough, prop my ass on the couch, turn on a movie, and veg out... BUT instead, I ate a couple fish sticks for lunch with a side of some zucchini patty cake things and will have my other shake for supper tonight. As nice as it is outside I may decide to go walking this evening too.. (MAY being the key word ;)).

As I look out the window I see my weeds (no grass... the weeds have overtaken the grass) growing as I watch.. Yard work is one of the most hated things that I have to do. I would rather eat doo doo than do yard work. That is hatred. I could always hire it done, but then I would not have anything to bitch about, so where would the fun be in it? Maybe I will not mind yard work once we get moved into our new house, considering we will have an actual fenced yard where the kids can play and we can sit outside and hang out. Which brings me to my next point - - as of right now we are scheduled to close on our new house on April 27... so a month from TODAY! WOOT!!! However, I know exactly what April 27 could mean -- it could mean that day or 12121 weeks from then. Either way.. I am beyond excited to move to a different house and start our life there.
