{Look what came today!!}

Summer at Dreamspirations Gallery had a giveaway and I won the lovely gal below. She came in the mail today and she's just lovely and so beautifully done! I am completely inspired by Summer's work and hope that one day my creations bring just as much inspiration to someone else.

The kids had an Art Gallery showing and book fair on Thursday. Aaron, Sam and Ruth made some cute stuff, below are images of their cool art!

Mind you since I got a "smart" phone when we switched from Verizon to T-mobile I have been using it more to take photos since I tend to forget my "work horse".

We really enjoyed ourselves and the kids got some new books and had a cupcake to boot! It was fun even if the room they choose to house the "book fair" part was about the size of my office.

Aaron's cool art w/description - it's so cool!

Sam made a rhino mask and it's sitting on his shelf now.

Ruth's kinder class made a whole farm w/a barn and animals

hers  is the white faced little cutie with a purple face.

{Weekly Weigh In: Week 6}

I am struggling and sinking into food. I know I have a food addiction and eat when I am not hungry, when I am upset or even happy. I love watching Netflix and found a show called "Ruby" and saw myself in her and her journey to become healthy and over come her "beast". I have really learned alot from the first 3 seasons and I am hoping that this next week I can get my weight loss back on track and get back on the journey to becoming a healthier me.

{Weekly Weigh In: Week 5}

Ugh...I have failed miserably when it comes to weight loss. I am praying that I can get myself out of this funk this month and get myself back on track. I have really failed miserably when it comes to eating when I wake up, shopping when hungry which results in junk food being brought into the house and consumed by me and eating after 7pm. Not only have I failed at that stuff but I haven't been cooking at home and have been eating fast food and drinking soda pop instead of water.

It's like I want to sabotage my progress and I believe I am succeeding in doing so. Not only is my weight loss in jeopardy but my whole life has become chaos. I sometimes feel as though I am loosing control even though I know I have the control.

This next month (aka February) I am going to strive to regain my control over the chaos and get things back to normal and my weight loss back on track. I want to squelch this darn dark cloud over me and let some light in before I start to sink even farther into the chaos.

I am up 1.3 pounds from my start weight this year...I need to get back on track, it's important.
