I'm starting my weight loss journey again. But this time I'm sticking to it! You can follow along with me at my weight loss blog. Post comments if you see fit. God knows I'm the kind of gal that needs the encouragement!

So, you'll never guess what I did. I took my girls last weekend and went up to Strawberry and Pine. And I drove ALL BY MYSELF! Will had to work so he couldn't go with me. Now, I don't know if I've ever told you guys this, but I have this major, unreal fear of driving long distances and heights and mountains and all that but I really wanted to get out of town. So the girls and I packed a picnic

We were up in Sedona during spring break this year and as I was trying to get a pretty picture of the girls with the snow, I did not realize that my weirdo husband was behind me making silly faces at the girls. I was wondering what was so dang funny! I just love this picture. It makes me smile when I see my babies having fun.

I normally like dogs. Most are cute, cuddly, and fun to roll around and play with. But I do not like my neighbor's dog. Especially tonight. This dang dog has been barking for at least the last 45 minutes. I'm sure everyone knows how hard it is to sleep with a barking dog. I want to toss a crowbar at it. I won't though. I really am not that cruel. Even though I'm exhausted and need to sleep for

Why do I keep ignoring this place? Even with the best of intentions, I fail to update this blog. It must have something to do with Facebook. Everyone is there, so I forget about this place. This place allows me to give all the details along with photos to capture the moments though. I have to remember about Bloggr. And I will. Pinkie swear!

My husband works Wednesday nights and that is the only night of the week that I am home alone with the kids. I usually cook dinner and watch some TV with them. I'm hoping that within the next month or so the weather will start to cool down in the evenings. When that happens I plan to go for walks in the neighborhood with them, or go to the park behind my house to play. It's such a gratifying

Desiree has been wanting to get her hair dyed or streaked or highlighted or whatever the phrase for it is now, but we kept saying no because we felt she was too young.We finally caved this year. Well, I caved. Will protested, with his arms crossed in front of his chest while he grumbled about it. He thinks that the looks that the kids are going for nowadays is too grown up.My sister's

Desiree, Alexis and I made some sugar cookies last night. They came out so yummy! I snapped a few pics of the girls while they were decorating, but after hearing, "Ow! Mom that flash is too bright!" I had to put the camera away. Hee hee! I love these moments with my kids. I know they will eventually outgrow them, but for now I'll cherish what I have.

We took our kids tonight (minus Desiree - she's getting her hair done and I'll have a post for that as soon as she gets home) to their new school for meet the teacher night. We have never had the kids to go to an all indoor school, so this was a new experience for us. Imagine... the cafeteria - inside? They only have to go outside to play on the playground?Alexis' teacher was hard to read... she

My husband was raised/brainwashed in a strict Christian household. He went to church every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, along with doing many church-related things during the week. His upbringing was so different than mine. I was able to listen to the radio and had all the new tapes growing up: Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, etc. He could only listen to church hymns. I

I made mac-n-cheese one lazy night for dinner. Outside, the wind howled and the skies threatened to open up on us. It was beautiful, so my girls opted to eat their mac-n-cheese on our back patio.I snapped this picture.I've got to do something about that posture.Stat.

So Dani and Desiree will be starting school together this year. Did I tell you that Dani is repeating 8th grade? It isn't a favorite topic of mine, so I may have been remiss in addressing it, but the fact of the matter is that she will be a return 8th grader. She'll be in a different school district though, and she is now on meds so we're praying for a better year.One of the many thorns in her

My 7-year old wants to be so much like her big sisters. She wants to talk on the phone to her friends. She doesn't understand why I am against her talking on the phone at this age. When I was growing up I was not able to talk on the phone to friends until I was at least in the 6th grade. Alexis doesn't understand this.I really do not think that 7-year olds have anything important to talk about

I have been worried for some time now about my husband's health. I try to keep the thoughts I have from him, because I don't want him to worry more himself, but it is becoming more difficult to do.He has kerataconus very severely in his right eye, and a mild case in his left. Keratoconus is best described as a condition where your cornea becomes cone-shaped. He said it is like looking through the

As I mentioned before, I am going back to school. What started out as me looking into taking classes to be able to do medical billing and coding turned into me going to school to get a degree in Healthcare Administration. I'm still not sure exactly how that happened. I am doing all of my schooling online, and the coursework is pretty intense. There are a lot of essays I have to write. I love to

Hello out there! I have been away from any type of blogging for so long. I have been thinking lately of coming back to Blogger. I have been at Wordpress for awhile, but Blogger seems to have more fun little things to it.I'll post later and let you all know what we've been up to, but for now I have to finish my homework (yes, I went back to school!) and get some sleep because I have to work

My night started out wonderful. It is my brother's 24th birthday and all my brothers and and sisters and my mom got together at his house for dinner of enchiladas and fajitas and cake. Mmmm... it was so fun and everying went perfectly. Until it was time to go home. It took me two hours to get home when it would normally take me 20 - 25 minutes. Why? Because I'm Tiffany and crap always happens to

Hehe.. at least that's what Lexi called it. They actually caught a praying mantis. Will and I ran out back because we thought it was a big hairy creepy crawly crawling all over Dani. Nope. Just an innocent praying mantis. See my crazy kid? She has no qualms about this thing crawling all over her.

Just a warning - some of this may be TMI....What a week we've been having. First our computer died (this was last Wed.) so we were without it until today. If you know me you will know it was total hell to be without my internet! Then my husband's car died. We have to wait for awhile to get it fixed because it'll be expensive. Then I had to go to the ER (I'll get back to that in a minute.) Then on

Look at my cute little girls. Dani's missing from these picture, but she usually doesn't like to put on her bathing suit and get outside in the water. These pictures were taken on a day when it was about 110 outside. It's starting to get cooler now. In the evening we actually have cool breezes. We slept last night with the AC turned off. There aren't going to be many more days this year where the

If you've read my previous blogs, you may remember me venting about my oldest daughter's bio-father and his lack of responsibility when it comes to his financial obligation to her. I'm going to estimate that he owes me close to $40K now. He hasn't paid anything since Oct. 2001. I have tried getting the state to do something since then, but it is like talking to a brick wall.

It's been months since I had my last spicy taste. When I eat them it takes me back to the time when I was a SAHM Lexi was a newborn, I babysat my nephew Isaias, Dani was in school, and Desiree wasn't in school yet. Will was working two jobs to keep a roof over our heads so I had to find a way to make some extra cash. I found a job I could do from home. I processed rebates on my computer. A couple

Sometimes I just hate being a woman. Seriously. It is not fair to have Aunt Flo visiting for 3 months in a row - non-stop. Then, she goes away. I am elated. And as soon as I start to feel that I am getting back to normal, she comes back only two weeks later. TWO WEEKS! Why the hell is she here? I didn't invite her. I want her to leave. Just go away!!!Life sucks.Tiffany

It premiered today."Good Enough", off of their latest album. I LOVE this song. Listen to the lyrics. This is what I love about Evanescence and Amy Lee. Their lyrics actually MEAN something and are not just a bunch of overproduced fluff. And damn, does Amy Lee have the most gorgeous eyes you've ever seen or what?

I just can't stomach people anymore. Kids are running crazy and their parents are letting, no, teaching them to do it!Today at school my best friend (Desiree's 4th grade teacher) was knocked over by a group of Kindergarten kids. She is 4 months pregnant. She started bleeding a lot and was taken to the ER. She finally called me at about 11:30 tonight to give me her update. After sitting for 4

Ok first off, I just want to let you all know that I am not one of those people that get into those get-rich-quick schemes, nor do I have oodles of money to throw around paying to get into these work at home jobs. I hate that stuff. When my cousin called me about this new business venture he's gotten into I at first balked at it, but after listening to him and going to his website and to one of

The girls started school last week but I got too busy to let you all know how it went. Dani spent the night at my Mom's because Mom was going to take her to school for her first day. Unfortunately I didn't get to take a picture of her so I was really bummed. She told me she had so much fun and made new friends. She loves the freedom that comes with being in Jr. High.

Have you ever heard of a grown adult's eyes changing color? I have always had light brown eyes, but in the past couple of months when I am looking in the mirror I have noticed a greenish tinge to them. I tried pointing it out to my sister (who is hazel-eyed) but she didn't see what I was talking about. Today when I was at my Grandma's house my mom looked at me, told me to come closer and said she

I'm taking a page out of Krissi's book and starting a different blog for weight loss. My 5th wedding anniversary is coming up pretty soon and I'd like to be under 200 lb for it. I don't know if it's gonna happen, but I'm going to try. Plus, my husband is losing weight and I don't want him to be more skinny than me.

Do you all remember the Duggan family? They live in Arkansas and just had their 17th baby. Yes, that's right. Seventeen! I believe I saw them not too long ago on the Discovery channel and at that point she had 16 children and was pregnant with her 17th. I was floored. She and her husband must have the patience of saints. Cnn.com reports that the family has changed an estimated 90,000 diapers. Can

Lexi received her first letter from her Kindergarten teacher today. She was THRILLED. Her face lit up and she was jumping up and down. She received a postcard with happy faces (which is above in the bottom picture) and Daddy and I received a letter with her teacher's wish list and general information about class and Meet the Teacher night. Unfortunately I will be working in the front office

Excuse my face in that picture. I have no make up on and CeCe's make up has that faded-because-I-just-got-off-work look to it. When she would get home from work at 10:30pm we would hang out and play computer games and take silly pictures. I know. We are dorks.She's gone. She packed up her stuff and moved out today. I am so happy for her because she has her own home now, and isn't under the thumb

Please tell me if I am wrong in my feelings here...In the state of AZ a child has to be five years old by August 31st in order to begin Kindergarten. If the child is not five by that cut off date they can not enter school. It doesn't matter if they were born on September 1st at 12:01am, they still cannot enter. To get around this, a parent has to option to have their child tested for early

Here's how it works.I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange.

My husband received a phone call from his father a couple nights ago. He told my husband to write a phone number down and to call it. Will was shocked to find out that his father wanted him to call his half-sister. This is a sister that he didn't know existed until he was a preteen. At that time she was sent up from El Salvador by her mother to live with Will, his dad, his mom and little brother.

I have started working again and I must say that I am so elated! I can't even begin to explain the weight that has lifted off my shoulders just from being back at work these past two days. I don't know how people stay home and care for multiple children (other than their own). I have so much respect for those of you that do in-home daycare. I just wouldn't be able to do it. I have taken care of 7

I've finished the final Harry Potter book and have so many feelings about it. I don't want to express them exactly though because some of you may not have read it yet and I don't want to spoil it. Let's just say that I am sad, happy and mad at the same time. I feel a sense of loss now that their journey has come to a close. Ok well now I have to go spend some time with the rugrats. I've neglected

I can barely restrain myself, I am so excited for the pending release of the seventh and final book of the life and trials of one Harry Potter. If you are like me, you've watched him grow from a child into manhood, experiencing his fears, heartaches and triumphs. I cried from joy when he found a lost part of his family, was made Quidditch captain, regained friendships, and had his first kiss. I

I hate shopping. HATE it. It always leaves me shaky, irritated, angry and guilty feeling. I wish I didn't have this problem. My sisters love to shop. They have turned it into an art form. The same pair of pants that I just bought at Walmart for $19.98 my sister bought for $3.00 on clearance. On the same day, just different stores. She can take $20 and buy 2 complete outfits while I'm left holding

We went to see Harry Potter & TOTP today in IMAX. The start time was 10am, but (everyone who knows me knows I am late to everything) I took forever and a day getting myself ready. I usually like to get to the movies 1 - 1 1/2 hours in advance when they are brand new. We got there at 9:30. The line was outside the building. Thank God Will buys our tickets online. So we get in to sit down and we

My sister bought chalk for the kids to draw on the sidewalk. I told Lexi and my niece Unique to go out and draw me some pictures. It always amazes me to see what come up with. I love to watch them create things. Uni made a family and their house with a big ocean. Then she wrote her name in cursive by her drawing.Lexi drew me a picture from a movie she saw. I still can't figure out what that movie

One thing that some people don't know about my sister is that she LOVES to bake. And she has quite the sweet tooth. A few days ago we were going to make chicken enchiladas for dinner but it got too late so we nixed the idea. Well, at about 8pm CeCe decides she wanted to make them after all. As we were cooking them, she got the idea to do cookies too. She made sugar cookies from scratch and let

I'm up late again. I have a love/hate relationship with late nights. On one hand I am up with a clean house and a clean kitchen. I am alone. There is only the sound of the AC kicking on and off, the occasional jingle of my cats' collars, and the tappity-tap of my keyboard. I feel at peace. On the other hand, I know my kids (and my nephew & nieces) will be up in about 4-5 hours and I will be too

It's hot. Too hot. We've been running between 106 & 108 degrees, with less than 10% humidity (thank God). On July 4th the forecast is calling it 115 degrees. It sucks. I hate AZ summers. I thought a break was coming this weekend. The forecast said it would thunderstorm on Saturday and Sunday. I just checked. The good news is the temperature should be dropping down to a cool 104-106.

Sorry I haven't updated you guys lately. I have been super busy this week. Let's see, on Monday I was surprised with some houseguests at 9:45PM. My sister and her husband and 3 kids are going to be staying with me for God knows how long due to some unforseen circumstances. Since I have some time off this summer I am home all day with the kids and now I have her three that I am watching during the

So this morning I weighed in and was at 218.6. :(I think that being home this summer is going to be really hard for me in terms of trying to lose weight. I tend to get bored and start stuffing my face. I am going to have to try harder to not do that. I think if I get a craving I'll just go drink a glass of water. Hopefully that'll push it away.We rearranged our living room. The living room is

The writer of a blog that I stalk has kickstarted my ass back into the weight loss venture. If you remember, at the beginning of the year I posted my pic and started doing weigh-ins in an effort to publicly lose weight. Well, I fell off the fat train and stopped blogging my progress (or lack thereof.) No more. Starting tomorrow morning I will post my weigh ins. I borrowed my sister's Gazelle and

I need to do something with my hair. Does anyone else have hair like mine? I can't tame it. When I was younger my hair was bone straight - it was only curly or wavy when it was permed. Now, it has this funky curl-type thing going on with it. It can be a little wavy in places (but not in the good way) and gets frizzy. How does straight hair get frizzy? I also have major flyaway action going on.

The girls didn’t know I was listening to them (they were in the dining room and I was around the corner in the kitchen). Danielle asked her sisters if they wanted a brother and they all said yes. So they put it to a vote. They voted on whether or not they should have Josiah (my nephew) as their brother. Their vote was unanimous.I just emailed my sister to find out when she is going to turn him

I was going through some of my pictures that I recently uploaded from my memory card today and found this mini-movie of the girls that I don't remember recording.

Do you have recurring dreams? I do. My dreams always go the same way. Sometimes my husband is in them and sometimes he isn't. My kids are always with me. Sometimes my mom and brothers and sisters are there too. We are driving somewhere where the mountains are. I am thinking they are the mountains just to the north of Phoenix, like in the Anthem area.

I have been having those more frequently. I wonder what's causing them? So it is starting to dawn on me - she is growing up. I have mixed feelings about it.

I was reading a blog of a friend of mine and she was talking about appreciating your children. She really got me thinking.You know, as my girls get older I am starting to realize that there is so much time that I need to spend with them still. My oldest is 12, so she is almost getting to that preteen age and there are times that she doesn't want anything to do with me. She'd rather be in her room

I have no clue what it is. It's been knocking all day. I mean ALL day. I think someone is trapped up there. A couple weeks ago we came home and the entry to the attic was partially opened. It's in our carport. Will looked up there and it was all clear so we just closed it up and figured maybe our landlord was in the attic and forgot to close it all the way or something.I don't know what it is.But

You may have remembered me venting my frustration about the lack of help by the State of AZ in tracking down my oldest's biological father to make him pay child support and that although he IS a sex offender, he was not found on the sex offender website. Well, something told me to check the site today. Well looky here... he moved. So I now have his new address. Whoopie! Ok, that's rather

This is that crazy darn dog of mine, jumping in the pine needles that I had just raked up. Since moving into our house we haven't really spent too much time in the backyard, mostly because it is such a mess. I wish I would have taken pictures of it when we first moved in just to give everyone a before and after idea of what it is like. We have 3 pine trees which have shed tons of needles

My daddy had so many different type of work gloves. He used them for his job as a construction worker, and then of course at home working on our house and yard. My father was gifted with a hammer and nails. He could make anything. He build all the additions and upgrades to our houses. We had a 3 foot sunk in bathtub, a rock waterfall-type of drinking fountain, a custom built tree house, a 600 sq.

We have bulk trash pick up this Tuesday, so the girls and I are getting our asses out to the back yard and doing some major clean up. I am dreading it.I am planning a 2 week menu so that I can figure out what needs to be bought at the grocery store. I hate shopping. With a passion. What type of woman am I???I have so much to do today so why am I sitting here on the computer blogging and playing

Here it comes again.The damn Beer Fest. It's next Saturday.Just another excuse for my husband and a bunch of his friends to go out and get drunk. I never go with them. Eww. Who would want to go and get stupid drunk in the middle of the hot day?Not me. No sir.The guys are renting a van and will have a DD drive them around after that. I guess I should be happy that they are getting smart this year

Last night Lexi (my 5 year old) said she wanted to go to the park today. I told her we would try but it depended on whether or not it was going to rain. She said we just HAD to go. I asked her why it was so important that we go today and she matter-of-factly replied to me, "We all have to go. It's my wedding day. I am getting married to Cinderella's boyfriend."Um, okay...So I teased her and said

No, no, not my kids - this time.I am speaking of Ms. Britney Spears. She went all GI Jane on us. Actually, her head looks pretty good. Pretty hot. Thank God she doesn't have a head like a potato. After all the chemicals and extensions that were in it she probably had to shave it off to get a fresh start. That's really what the girl needs.Off with the old and in with the new.But seriously.

Too fast.She has had a lot of firsts this school year: First Honor Choir Concert.First boyfriend.First "date" (although it was actually a family outing.)First time going to see a boy's baseball game.Now... first time away from home without any family member present.Dani left yesterday after school to go up north with our church to a weekend retreat for the middle school-aged kids.

So I have done really poorly lately and just have been a little depressed and not in the work out mood. I haven't lost much at all. Actually, I did gain some of the weight back, but then lost it again. Weird. So here's my current weight:Current weight: 215.2 (2/17/07)Check in weight: 215.4 (2/7/07)Check in weight: 216.4 (2/3/07)Check in weight: 217.6 (1/25/07)Starting weight: 219.6 (1/8/07)

This cute big ol' guy was sitting in my chair at work today. My hubby - what a sweet heart. He left it at work for me after hours yesterday. :o) I hope everyone had a great day. Right now I have dinner simmering for my honey. I'm making his mom's recipe for this awesome chicken. Mmmmmmm.... Dani and her boyfriend exchanged gifts at school today in my classroom. They are so much alike - they

Ok, before you guys read this just remember that my husband and I work for a school district. You don't work at a school for the money, right? So please don't think bad about me for this post.I am just so frustrated. When I took this job I got offered health insurance for the girls and myself. At school the employee gets free health coverage. But to put dependents on you practically have to sell

My husband has this friend. I'll him John. John has two brothers who we'll call David (older) and Mark (younger). David used to be my husbands best friend, for over 15 years, but since he got married a couple years ago David's wife won't let him talk to my husband anymore. She seems to think that he is a bad influence because maybe 3 or 4 times a year he goes out for a boys night out. And since I

Man, I have to get over this no-blogging spell I have hit. Ok, where do I begin? Let's see. I am now at 216.4 lb. I haven't been walking at the park as much as I want because I have just been so damn tired when I get home from work, and because of the intermittent rain we are getting out here. Weird. But I have been watching what I eat a little. I need to step it up if I want to lose any major

I've been sick the past week or so which is why I haven't posted a weight check in.So when I started this weight loss thingie, I was going off the scale at work, which said I weighed 216. I bought a scale at home that hates me, and said I weighed 219.6. :o( So I now have to correct my previous weight entry.Starting weight: 219.6 (1/8/07)Check in weight: 217.6 (1/25/07)Not too bad, I've lost 2

So Danielle has a boyfriend. Her first one ever!He's in her class. His name is Matt and he is SUCH a sweetheart! She's had a crush on him since the beginning of the year. Apparently they have been boyfriend/girlfriend since before Christmas, but were keeping it secret because they didn't want to be teased by the other kids. I finally got it out of her that they are "together" after we came back

I have been struggling with my weight for about 4 1/2 years. I remember waaaaaay back in the day I had a pretty decent body. Ok, ok... I guess you could say I looked pretty good. When I graduated high school I was 5'6" and weighed 103lb. Stella, you remember.. right? Well, I think 103 was pretty unhealthy, but still. Wouldn't it be nice to get to high school weight again? I know that'll never

My Lexi. God I love her. She gets into stuff and it just makes me laugh even if I should be mad at her. And then there are times when out of nowhere she will just fly by and shout, "I love you Mom!" Or she'll do a random drive by kissing. :o)When we got home from work/school today I started doing some cleaning (although the wonderful "Man" did a bunch before he left for work) and Lexi asked if

Rachel, one of the gals whose blogs I read, posted a blog about this wonderful, inspiring website called, "The Shape of a Mother". It is a blog that many women have posted on with pictures of their after-birth body and their birth or life stories. I tell you, it is so inspiring! I thought I was the only person with stretch marks running up and down my stomach. Nope. Not at all. I have learned

Yay! Look at my pretty house. God, I need to take a better picture of it.We moved over the weekend. Thank goodness for my brother in law Eric. He came after his baseball tournament and helped us move. He kept us motivated and going all day long. After 3 grueling days, we had ourselves moved in and the apartment cleaned out. I love this house! The back yard is so big, and our little Oso has more

This is how much my kids listen to me... all the above are my kids, nieces and nephews. I tried to get al picture of all of them looking at me. Ya... not ONE is looking at me. Geez... so this is before the presents were completely delivered and the carnage began. LOL. We had a lot of fun. On Christmas Eve we all (including my husband - a major improvement) went to Church.

My little girls aren't so little anymore. Dani turned 12 and Alexis turned 5 today. I'm such a baby myself. I called Lexi when I was at work and asked her how old she is today. She said 5 and I lost it. There was me - crying in my office because my baby is all grown up. I am so emo right now.

I mean, it really sucks the life out of you. I feel lost in my apartment. There's just too much to do and I don't have any direction. It's as though I'm stuck in molasses. *sigh* I started off really well. On Sunday night, I got 3 very large boxes and packed all the DVDs in them. Our DVD shelves are bare. I also packed a bunch of my books. But that's it. On Sunday night I told Will that every

1. You have ever been hit by a chancla.2. You can play any sport wearing your chanclas.3. You grew up scared by something called "El Cucuy."4. Others tell you to stop screaming when you are really just talking.5. You use your lips to point something out.6. You constantly refer to cereal as "con fleis".7. Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if it's a one bedroom
