Decision Time

So, I made a decision. I've decided it's finally time to get off my lard-filled hiney and do something about my physical condition. I've decided it's time to lose weight. I'm going to follow the Body for Life program by Bill Phillips, which is 12 weeks. I'm starting February 1, 2010. The end of my 12 weeks will be April 25, 2010. Wish me luck and just be patient if I happen to get grouchy (sorry!).

The 1st Blog ... Ever

So, apparently blogging is all the rage now. And if I want to keep up with everyone, I suppose I should join the band wagon. This makes me think of the movie 'Julie & Julia' with Amy Adams and Meryl Streep (good movie, btw). However, I will NOT be doing 524 recipes in 365 days. No way, no how. There would be no time and I'm afraid I wouldn't make it out alive!

Anyway, so I have started college (again). Not only am I throwing myself back in to this crazy world, but I am taking 2 hard classes - Intro to A&P and Microbiology. Microbiology and I haven't mixed in the past, but I have a different teacher this time so I'm hoping I'll do better. So far so good. I have to take these last 2 classes in order to apply to the LPN program in March. Wish me luck because I'm going to need all I can get! I'm already going crazy since I have a test in BOTH classes on Tuesday -- YEEHAW! Mercy ...

I'm not the only one in school, though. Hunter, my oldest, is in Kindergarten and he LOVES it! He does well too. We have to work on his handwriting though, but that's a work in progress. He's had a few school programs and it's been fun to watch him. I'm extremely proud of him.

The other family member in school is Preston. He's in preschool. He's going to Head Start and is also loving it! He loves that he goes to school too. He usually asks if he gets to go to school and he does, but not on Fridays. And to add to MY to-do list, I serve as Chairperson for his center and as Vice-Chair on Head Start's Policy Council. Can someone make sure I don't add any more to my plate?!

Then there's Jordan. He's such a cute little turd. He's my sweet boy. Although, when he has a moment, he has a moment! There's no question about that!! lol He's anxious to start school and has a backpack like his brothers, but alas, its not his turn (yet). I know the day will come.

So, that's us in a nutshell, at least this nutshell. Stay tuned and see what comes!
