Missing What I Had

They say sometimes in order for you to be happy, you need to step out of your element. Well that's what I did 5 months ago. I came to Vegas. Now don't get me wrong, I love Vegas, but the job I have is not giving me any kind of hours, I applied at so many places, and I feel like I gave up something for nothing. Maybe I'm getting homesick, but I feel like I can't take care of myself, let alone take care of my kids. I pray about it, and I know that everything happens when it is meant.Is it meant for me to be out here, and try to survive? I said I would give it a year, and man so far it is a ruff start. I'm gonna try my best to hang in there for the sake of my kids.

Also you can find Black Opal Cover and Conceal $6, and Rimmel London Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara for $7 at the drugstore. Bath and Body Works has the Signature Collection Fragrant Waters for $19.My favorite one is the Japanese Cherry Blossom.. Oh yeah I also found a 5 Second Strengthen Nail Pen for only $5. I love being able to find great beauty products on a budget.

How The Wii Fit May Have Inspired Me To Really Diet

The other day I went in to Best Buy with my family. As we were all looking around, I decided to get on Wii fit and give it a shot. Well it asks for your birthday. After that I stood on it, and it took my body measurements, and weight. It gave me a balance test. In the end it told me that I was obeased, and that my body was weak like a 45 year old.

I have to say that really hurt my spirit. For one I'm 32. I often have pain in my knee, and my feet hurt because I'm constantly on them. But this my friends is no excuse. I gotta stop the eating cause I'm stressed syndrome. I gotta get more active. I need to workout, and diet right. But I love food. So I need to find a way that will permit me to keep eating the food I like, but still be able to lose weight.

So today is September 25, 2009, and I will give myself until March 25th, 2010 to lose 30lbs or more.

The Joys And Challenges Of 3 Year Old Twin Girls

Oh me. oh my! I am blessed to have four wonderful kids, who sometimes seem crazy to me. Twins. Girls at that. It was cute when they were small, and don't get me wrong, it still is. But it is a lot of work. They are complete opposites. Skye is my girly girl. She loves to get her hair combed, toenails painted, play with Barbie dolls. Everything that is girly that is her. Now Symone on the other hand is the tomboy. She talks about Spider-man, Batman and the Hulk. I have to kind of coach her about girl things. When we talk about birthday parties. Skye is all about the princess jumper. But Symone wants Spiderman. Then I here the constant fighting.The Skye hit me, or Symone called me ugly. But in the end its all hugs and kisses. I love my twin girls, and they are not easy. But I wouldn't change it for the world.

Gaining Weight

OMG....I have gained 30 pounds since I've moved to Vegas. Alot of it due to stress, and being in a new city and not knowing anyone. The upside to this is that everything that I would need to get to like the mall, the park, library, and grocery store, are all in walking distance. This is great for me, cause I can take the girls out everyday and just walk and enjoy the scenery. I also realized that I have to stop stressing myself out. Things will happen for me in due time. So no more late night snacking, and I gotta cut back on the soda...but I'm so hooked On Coke Cola. I have to have at least one a day. But I'm gonna work it out. I definitely need to find a workout to do. I ain't trying to be no skinny chick, cause I love my thickness...I just want to be healthy for the sake of my kids.

Cutting Back

Recently I had to scale back from a three bedroom to a two bedroom. But for me that's okay. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive. My kids are adjusting well and so am I. I am starting to like Vegas a little more now.
