Scream heard around the world

Last night Kelsey & Bree were hanging out in Kelsey's room.

Bree loves to play with her big sister.

They hang out on the top bunk, and watch tv, read, chat...fun stuff like that.

They were doing their thing, and giggling a lot last night.

Then...

All the sudden I hear a screeching scream, "MMMMMOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMYYY!"

You would think it was Bree...

But it was KELSEY!

I ran in to investigate...

Kels & Bree were on the top bunk...

Kels had her hands cupped in front of her...filled with PUKE.

LOL

The look on her face was priceless.

Bree was crying. She was freaked out by puking, and by Kelsey's screaming.

I grabbed Bree down, took her to the bathroom and gave her a bath.

I sent Jilly in to tend to Kelsey so I could take care of Bree.

Soon everyone was nice and clean, sheets were changed, all that fun stuff.

Apparently what happened was; Bree was drinking from Kelsey's reusable bottle, and she was laying down while doing it. She got to much and started choking. She sat up, Kels told her to barf in her hands instead of all over the sheets (not a bright move Kelsey) ...I think Kelsey didn't think she'd actually puke, or she didn't think that through to well.

Did you hear the screams last night? :)

Toodles!

P.S. Remember my post the other day about sit ups? Well today, I made sure to clear out my bladder right before doing sit ups again. Guess what. Even that didn't work! I still squirted! Oy. I need a new bladder, or some Depends for exercising.

What is wrong with people?

What is this world coming to?

It seems there are so many people out there filled with hatred.

Innocent people are being killed because of this.

It can't be all hatred, I think seriously those that commit acts like the the one in AZ on Saturday, are mentally disturbed.

Most people can not like something, IMMENSLY not like something...yet they don't go killing people because of it. So those that do commit those horrible acts can't be alright in the head.

These people need help. If someone that had known them saw signs of them not being right, they should speak up right away, get these people some help before they go all postal.

Guns...there should be stricter laws. Something needs to be done. These sick people can get a hold of them to easily, and kill to easily.

My heart breaks for the families that have suffered losses due to violence. Not only those involved in the AZ shooting, but those all over. So many innocent lives lost.

I keep thinking about the little 9 yr old girl, Christina, that lost her life Saturday. She was excited to go to that rally. She went with a neighbor. She was learning about politics and showed quite an interest in it, which is surprising for a 9 yr old. She sounds like an amazing little girl. She was shot in the chest. She was not with her parents when this happened. She (and her parents) didn't get to say good-bye. Its all so sad, and so senseless...

Lets stop the hatred people.

If you see someone that is way not normal...get that person some help.

I know, I sound like a weirdo myself...this stuff isn't easy to do.. but man... something needs to be done....

QOTD: Have you ever witnessed an act of violence?

Toodles!

Freak Show

I do not like an audience when I work out.

I have low self esteem. I do not want to others seeing me struggle.

I'm not good at exercising.

I breathe heavy.

I sweat.

My fat jiggles.

I look gross, and feel gross.

I do not want people watching me during this time.

Leave me alone. Go away. Let me exercise in peace.

I have a lot of jokesters around here too. They like to comment on me as I work out.

They also cause a lot of distraction to me.

Is it to much to ask for an hour and a half a day alone, to work out and better myself?

My family knows that I don't like an audience...yet they don't seem to give a crap.

This morning I went down to work out alone. Everyone was busy upstairs.

As soon as I get into my work out, first comes Kels, then Jilly, then Bree, then Bill...

So I finished where I was at, and went upstairs.

Up comes the girls...

I sneak into my room to do some exercise there, I shut the door....

First Bill comes in. Then Jilly...

UGH.

What am I? A freak show? Lets all watch the funny looking jiggly fat chick work out.

Thats what I feel like...a freak show.

Why can't they leave me alone? Do they not want me to succeed?

I'm trying really really hard. Can't they cut me some slack?

I'm frustrated.

I'm not giving up though...I'll sneak in work outs here and there as I can on the weekends. When they go back to work/school I'll go back to the way I do during the week... I just wish they'd cooperate a little more and help me out, encourage me... Oh well.

QOTD: Are you comfortable working out in front of others?

Toodles!

What I've Learned...

Since starting my diet I've learned a few things...

I'm going to share one thing with you today.

Do not laugh...

Are you ready?

Lesson learned: Make sure to visit the bathroom before doing sit ups, even if you don't feel like you have to pee.

Because... Apparently being old, and fat, and after having 4 kids, my bladder control just isn't what it used to be...

Sit ups should be renamed for me... SQUIRT OUTS!

Pass me some Depends!

I am pretty stupid I guess. I discovered this problem yesterday.... But today, when I went to do my sit ups, I didn't visit the bathroom first, because I felt like I didn't really have to pee... I was wrong. I now know better.

I need to stock up on underwear. I've changed 3 times today. Once after my morning shower as normal, then after my sit up/squirt outs, and then again after my workout because I was sweating like a pig in a frying pan.

I'm proud of myself, since starting Jan. 1, I have worked out every day. Yay me.

QOTD: How is YOUR bladder control? :)

Toodles!
(Sorry this post was probably TMI...oh well, I hope you laughed at my leaky lesson)

I think it's dumb.

I read quite a few blogs.

I follow and like quite a few things on FB & Twitter.

I see something very frequently, and it totally annoys the crap out of me...

It's when someone comments on a blog, or on FB, and they are the first one to comment on that thread, so they have to comment saying "FIRST". Like they'll win a prize or a bozo button or something.

Seriously, are we like 10? Who cares if you are first? Why waste a comment just saying FIRST?

I think its totally DUMB.

Are you special because you saw the blog or FB status first? No.

Do you win money if you are first? No.

So...whats the big hoopla?

There isn't any. If you ask me.

If you are so excited about being first, maybe try saying something intelligent, instead of just "FIRST." How about, "I love your blog post today, and I'm happy to be the FIRST to tell you so!" Yeah, that would be nice. At least you don't sound like a doofus who stalks blogs waiting for new posts so you can claim to be "FIRST!"

Grow up. :) Thanks. Love ya. LOL. Thank God none of my readers do it. Its not like you gotta race to post comments, since not many people follow OR COMMENT here.

In other news...that is not so dumb :) I am still sticking to my diet. Got a lot of working out in today and was pleased with my lack of food intake :) I'll be glad when I can see some progress tho for all my hard work.

Bree has been rather cranky today. One minute she is happy, the next she is crying over something totally stupid...Kind of like PMSing. LOL. God help me.

Jilly is loving her netbook she got from her family in Norway. She enjoys being on Skype talking to them, and to family & friends around here too.

Kels has done well with finals she took before Christmas. She got 300 out of 300 on her Anatomy final, pretty awesome. She is still getting all A's.

Zach has moved to his Aunt's house in Pontiac. Things are calmer here now. I'm happy to report he has a JOB now. It will be good for him to have some cash flow again. Hmmm maybe I'll finally get the $400 he owes me for the car... yeah, wishful thinking on my part I'm sure. I do hope he sticks to his word and pays me back, and soon...so Bill will get OFF MY BACK about it.

I guess thats all for now.

QOTD: Do you have anyone from your childhood that you'd like to rekindle friendships with?

Toodles!

Guess What I'm Doing

Yo Yo Yo! How is 2011 treatin' ya?

I hope you are doing well. Did you make any resolutions? How are ya doing on those ya made?

I made one, its actually not for New Years...I just have been wanting to do it and I figured now is as good a time as any! I am jumping on the diet bandwagon.

I have really put on weight, and I look and feel disgusting. So I decided now is the time to try to fix that. I started my so called diet yesterday. I don't really have any strict diet planned out, I'm playing it by ear. I'm basically cutting out a lot of junk I eat, and trying smaller portions of things. Instead of chips, I eat a banana. Instead of pizza for lunch I'll have a salad... I'm also exercising more. Heck, 1 single push up is more then I've done in years, I have not been an exerciser...hence why I'm a fat cow now. This isn't probably the greatest weight loss plan, but its so much better than what I have been doing.

Yesterday I hooked up the wii fit, and did an hours worth of exercise on that. Today I did another hour of the wii fit, and also 15 minutes on the treadmill. I thought treadmill would be easy, its just walking...I was hoping to text and tread, to keep myself busy. LOL what was I thinking? I was hanging on for dear life! I clicked the weight loss program on the treadmill and off I went...started out rather slow, I thought this is nothing. Yeah sure. Soon it beeped, and inclined. Ummm wait, I didn't plan on this! Next thing I know it increases speed! WHOA! Slow down buckaroo! I'm a treading virgin! Easy pleasy. The timer was set for 30 minutes, but after 15 I quit for the day. Baby steps. Tomorrow I'll try again, hopefully go a little longer...

I haven't had any pop since Friday evening. This is very hard for me. I'm not going to cut it out all together, but I am going to drink much less of it. I need to drink more water. People, let me tell you...water sucks! I'm not a fan. But I'm trying.

I have no idea how much weight I want to lose yet. I guess I'd LOVE to lose 100 lbs...give or take a few. I want to go to Walmart or Target and just grab something cute off the rack to wear, instead of finding a ginormous size in the womens section. I want to look good, wear fun cute things.

Today I am sore from my work outs, missing my cokes, and a little bitchy... But...I know if I can follow through with this, I'll be happier and healthier in the long run. Wish me luck.

Please be my cheerleaders. Help me accomplish this!

Anyone wanna place a bet as to how long I'll last?

QOTD: How did you spend New Years Eve?

Toodles!
