Absolutely FURIOUS!!!!

I put this under the label Mail because right now I am furious with our mail person!!! They brought a package up to the house, and she literally threw it out of her car into the carport!! Then she tore out of the carport and went flying down the driveway. I was sitting right outside the door and heard her throw it! Instead of her getting out of her car and walking maybe all of 5 feet to put the box at the front door, she sat on her lazy a** and threw the package. She then left the rest of our mail down at the mailbox. That doesn't bother me as much as her throwing the package like she did....I mean, she had NO idea if what was in the box was fragile or not!!!!

Ugh, I am SO going to complain about her on Monday!!!!!

Sneaking in....

...one more post for today. I have GOT to get this house in better shape!!!!! Today I want to:


- work in our bedroom
- straighten up the playroom
- get the living room in better order
- vaccuum and straighten up the laundry room
- touch up the bathroom
- do some deep cleaning in the kitchen!

I'm not going to list everything I need to do....let's just say it's alot!! Thank goodness I feel like I have some good energy this morning! LOL Unfortunately, doing all this cleaning means no computer time....which means no hunting for freebies and samples! :(

Take care, all!!!!!

Friday's mail

Yesterday was an ok mail day.....

- Clean & Clear Morning Burst sample....I LOVE the smell!!!
- Vitamins for Ty from his Aunt Pam (thank you, PAM!!)
- birthday card for Zane

This morning

I did my 15 minutes on the Gazelle.....boy was it harder this morning!!! My legs were burning after 10 minutes and I was sweating like crazy! But it felt SO good when I was finished.....I have TONS of energy right now!!!!!!

I can do this!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Today is Zane's 40th birthday!!


Happy birthday, honey.....love you SO much!!!!!

Doctor appt. yesterday

Well, I was going to update about my appointment yesterday, but we were a little busy getting some running done........

Anyhoo, the appt. went fairly well! They did an A1C and I went from 8.6 to 7.5 in 30 days!!! The downside is....i've gained weight yet again. :( Since i've been back on meds (3 months) i've gained 11lbs......bad Chris, BAD!! :( The doc mentioned that he would like to see me drop at least 10 lbs by the time I see him again, in a month. I can do that!! As long as I work hard, which I will be doing, I can make it!! AND, if I can drop 20lbs he won't mention putting me on insulin.....and if I keep doing good with exercise and eating better I could possibly reverse the diabetes ALL TOGETHER!!!!! How awesome would that be?!?!?! I am completely motivated to do better. This morning, I did 15 minutes of hard exercise, and felt SO good! I have also decided to cut back, yet again, on drinking any kind of soda. I do drink diet coke, but even that should only be in moderation. Also, the only time I drink a regular soda is for a sugar low. I'm going to cut back to only drinking pop with dinner and see how that goes. I'll also be drinking lots more water.

The BEST news of all that we got was that if I continue to do good and get it under control even more, we can try for another baby next year!!!! I was really worried about the possibility of not being able to have another one, but it looks like it will happen!!! Heck, the doctor said "if you really want to get some weight off, have another baby!!" LOL

So now I have even more reason to want to do even better. I'm doing this for myself, my husband and son, and for our future children!!!!

Back at it...and I am SO proud of myself!!!

Ok, I am definitely not one who likes to brag about myself.......BUT..........I did a whole 15 minutes of hard exercise this morning!!!! I am SO proud of myself!!!!!!!!!! I had slacked off on using my Gazelle and i'm really upset with myself over that, but boy did I get into it this morning!!! Was it easy? NO Did I feel good afterwards? NO....I felt AMAZING!!!!!!! Gosh, it felt SO good to sweat like that........I can really feel muscles I hadn't used in who knows how long!!!

As a motivation, I am going to finally add a ticker back to my blog........my goal is to drop at least 10lbs in 30 days!!!!!

Todays mail

Today was a decent mail day....finally!!! LOL

Today's mail

Todays mail was pretty slow, as usual.

- Pledge grab-it sample
- local store sale papers

Interested in earning some extra money?

I just recently joined a site called InboxDollars, and so far I love it!! (well, I had been a member a very long time ago and just never put the time and effort into it...) What they do is send you emails and you get paid to read them! Now, you won't make a huge amount of money each month doing this site, but it can add up. Cash out is $25, and they give you $5 just for joining their site! They also have "offers" on their site that you can sign up for and they pay you. If you do join, I do recommend using a "junk" email account, like gmail, to do this since they tend to send junk mail to you. But it's good junk mail since they pay you to read it! LOL

Here is a link to sign up: (and yes, it is a referral link. They pay $5 for each referral, so that's why I added it...)

InboxDollars

I'm also going to be putting a banner up at the top of my page.....

Todays mail

Well, the snail mail hasn't got here yet, but I did get a package today!

UPS
- What to Expect the First Year baby book (I have NO idea how or why I got this....Tyler is 3!! LOL)


I'll update this post if I get anything in the snail mail......:)

**UPDATE**

So the snail mail wasn't too bad. I got:

- a package from kbtoys.com for Ty for christmas
- Memory Maker magazine
- junk mail

Todays mail

Today's mail was very slow as far as freebies/samples go......Zane did get a birthday card from his sister, though!! Thank you, Pam!!

Zane did tell me I got mail at his work, which makes up for no good freebies at home!

- $5 gift card to Cold Stone Creamery (yum!!)
- dove lotion sample

I should be getting some packages this week, so come on UPS and snail mail!!!

A new season.....
