Now that the crazyness of May is pretty much over, I keep thinking about what comes next. I have alot of things going on in my mind but I'm just not sure where to go with them all. Maybe rambling about it here will help. You never know....
1.) I need to get some motivation to lose some wieght and get healthier. It just freaks me out that I'm nearing 200 pounds and I NEED to get healthier. I just feel stuck. I can't cook anything unless it comes from a box and I know that stuff isn't very healthy. I also need to work out, but that never seems to last more than a day or two. I'm trying to take it slowly, and start by working out. Not much, just about 15 minutes a day with the MyFitness Coach on Wii. I'll try to add some Just Dance in too, for some extra cardio. I hope I can stick with it. I'm not sure WHY I can't...I just can't. Hell, I can't even get myself to clean the house...let alone actually exercise.
2.) I would like to find a job for during next school year. Joey will be in kindergarten and I'll have from 8-3 with no kids! What will I do? It would be nice to help make some money, maybe to save it all for vacations or something fun like that. BUT I am having a hard time with this also because I pretty much can't work a regular job. I need to be able to be home when the kids are here, which includes early release days, holidays, weekends and the summer! Pretty much the only place that would work for this is the school...but I don't have any college and I'm afraid I'd need some college to be able to work at the school. I have very little confidence in myself since I haven't worked since shortly after Joey was born...about 5 years!! I shouldnt though. I've gotten every job I've ever interviewed for. But still....
3.) Thinking about working at the school makes me think maybe I should get some sort of college degree. But...how would I pay for it? No idea. What should I study? Again...no idea. I was never good at school, so I'm sure I probably wont' be any good at college either. Especially if they expect you do to math!
4.) The Breast Cancer 3-Day. I really want to do this walk BUT each person has to raise $2300. I just annoyed the crap out of everyone for about 8 months and only raised about $600 for the Race for a Cure on Mother's Day. Plus with all of the above things going on, I keep thinking maybe I should get everything else straight first....THEN think about adding such a large commitment.
I think when it comes right down to it, I have NO confidence in myself to do any of the things I have going on. I feel like I can't do any of it. I guess I just have to find the motivation with in and stop fighting with myself. But will that ever happen?? Only time will tell.

Freebies this week!!!
FREEBIES!! FREEBIES!! FREEBIES!! Who want's FREEBIES!!!
Go to JcPenny's and get some free mascara! Go here
Lane Bryant is doing a free panty offer again too! This time you don't even need a coupon!! Just go in and ask for it before May 19th, and before supplies are GONE! So go FAST!!!
***UPDATE***
I should mention a couple notes. First, the JCPenny in Eden Prarie is apparently the only one in the cities to have a Sephora Counter...so this deal is no good at Burnsville like I hoped. Second, the Burnsville Center Lane Bryant will let you pick ANY PLAIN COLOR panty! Not just the white or black the webiste says. MOA will only give you white or black but you still get to pick your style (brief, boy short, etc)

Mother's Day....
Today Joey brought home his Mother's Day stuff from school. He kept begging me to open them, but I kept telling him I wanted to wait for Mother's Day....he kept trying to get me to open them and was being SO incredibly cute about it. Finally he convinced me to open one of them because "it's not as special as the other" he said. I gave it because he was so adamant I do it. I had a feeling it would be the more special of the two...and I think I was right! lol it was a paper they printed and filled in for each child. Here is what it said....

One crazy ass day!
Wow, what a day!! What a WEEK actually. I don't even know where to begin....
I've been going crazy with my many projects and trying to keep up with everything else going on. In the midst of cooking for a bake sale my SIL is doing, yesterday I totally forgot we were picking up a classmate of Joey's and taking her to school! I was busy cooking and Kyle was going to take him. I felt SOOOO bad when her mom called me! Luckily, the girls grandma came to town and could take her...I STILL feel horrible! The rest of yesterday wasn't too bad. I got to see my niece and SIL who came to look at the rest of her senior pictures...so that was fun! To make it even better...they took the kids to dinner at Perkins so Kyle and I could go to dinner alone for our anniversary! That hasn't happened in YEARS!!! :) I still can't belive we've been married for NINE YEARS!! lol
Today started out pretty good. Nothing too exciting. I got the kids to school, took a super fast shower and went to pick Tori up. On my way out the door I was trying to remember everything I needed to take with me for the night since I didnt' think we'd be back home until after dinner...and in a brain dead moment of trying to remember all of these different things...I forgot the most important one. MY KEYS! Yep, I locked myself out again. Only, this time there were no windows I could toss one of the kids through!! I hoped I could get ahold of any of my 3 friends who pick up thier kids at the same spot, to see if they could maybe give her a ride home...but no one answered! So, I ran (almost literally) to pick up tori and we walked all the way home. Thank goodness it's not too far! When we get home I talked to kyle on the phone and discuss how I need to get a neighbor to help me with a ladder...cuz just maybe I can get in the bedroom window upstairs. I was crying and totally freaking out cuz i hate bothering people and i just felt plain stupid for doing this AGAIN! As I hang up with him, I vaguely recall some odd keys in my van. I thought it was just the key to our fire safe but I went to check anyway. At first that's all I saw...BUT then wholy crap....a freaking house key! WOO HOO!
Fast forward about 10 minutes and Tori and I are off in the van hurrying to her hair cut appt. I call my friend, whom I got a hold of once I had tori in tow already....to let her know we got in and everything was A-OK. As I'm talking to her, tooling down the road I drive at least 2 times a day...when some moron blows through their stop sign (they had one, i didn't) and I come with in about 4 or 5 feet of hitting them!!! OMFG, WHOLY CRAP did that actually just happen? Yup!!
We get to Tori's hair appointment and I tell my cousin (who does our hair) "well, we're here and we're alive...it's a MIRICLE! And I mean that literally!!" It took me a while to fully calm down, I just couldnt' belive what the last hour had brought for me! Luckily the rest of the evening went well. We had a fundraiser night at Godfather's Pizza for my breast cancer walk team and people actually showed up!! Not a ton, but still. It means so much to me that some of my friends were able to come. And those that couldn't come....many ordered delivery or picked up pizza just to help me out!

Reasons the kids will be all right...
So I was just reading my 'Parenting:School Years' magazine I got a free subscription for, and found this in the back. This is all so true and some REALLY made me laugh!! Enjoy!
Reasons the Kids Will Be All Right
1. They hardly remember anything before age 2.
2. Your toddler is too small to understand what you called the #&*%@! who cut you off on the highway.
3. Your tween IS big enough to understand what you said-but smart enough to not repeat it in front of Grandma.
4. Sooner or later, your child will come to see a large purple dinosaur as unsuitable marriage material.
5. There must be at least SOME trace minerals in chips.
6. Losing the spelling bee or suffering through a few years of braces actually does build character.
7. At some point, he'll be interested enough in girls to bathe voluntarily.
8. Because unless she's the next Jennifer Garner, her awkward yearbook photo won't haunt her for the rest of her life.
9. Because there are a million and one ways to raise kids right, and only a few ways to screw them up royally.
10. Because they've got the worlds greatest mom. That's you babe!
