What a day!

After dinner we decided to go to the Game stop in the mall and let our oldest son spend his $15. It was normal. We were in there about 20 minutes. Maybe 30. We came out and our car was gone! I don't mean we forgot where we parked, I mean someone fucking stole our car!
Its a 91 Ford Probe! Come on! A 91 Ford Probe! WTF! It wasn't a super nice fancy expensive car. Its only worth anything to us! Who in the hell would steal a Ford Probe!
Husband is more pissed than I am. It was his car. We bought seat covers, sticker decals, a stereo(not a very expensive one), speakers, sub, amp, rear view mirrow with skulls. We decked it out just for him. Most of it didn't cost a lot. Its all low end shit. (We dont have much money) And we only gave $2000 for the car it self.
Why the hell would someone just steal our car! I just don't understand that.
We have had shit stolen from us 4 times since living here! 4 fucking times! First was all of our bikes except my youngests(cause his was tiny at the time).
Second was when I had an older oldsmobile car and left it unlocked. Some kids came by at night and stole my change, camera and stuffed dog out the car.
Third was about 2 years ago. We went on vacation and came home our house being robbed. It happened on the day we were returning too. They stole cigs, hubbys Xbox 360, hubbys show knives, etc.
Now number four, our fucking car!
What the hell is wrong with this fucking town. When we lived in Ft.Worth we never got robbed like this. I just don't understand it. We can't afford to replace these things. WE work very hard for what we have. Why are there little punk ass people out there that steal?
I just don't understand it!

A simple womans day book

So, I started my 5th week this past Saturday. I'm feeling great. Love the new foods and really loving the exercise. I've lost 8.2 pounds and several inches so far. I was told not to measure myself but once a month. And I really only took 3 measurements when I did the measurements to begin with. My chest, waist and arms.
Well, I've noticed some changes in my body. Curving in on my legs where it use to go straight. More jiggliness. I've jiggled before but it seems more jiggly now. I don't know if that means I've lost some of the fat in that area and theres not enough to fill the skin thats left ot what. I've also noticed some fat loss in my face, which I love.
I wish I knew more about all this weight loss and what it does to your body. Weight Watchers it great as far as recipes and keeping me on track, but they lack scientific information and knowledge. I can't afford to run to the doctor all the time for these questions with a $1000 deductable and a $20 co pay. Besides I don't really have a primary just an OB/GYN.
Why is this knowledge that should be so common, know one really knows?
Why is it that people don't know what healthy means?

A Simple Womans Day Book

Outside my window... Theres a wind storm going on. Its like the Wizard of Oz outside... I am thinking... About my weight in tomorrow I am thankful for... My wonderful loving husband From our classroom... The kids did a great job on their lessons this week with being sick and not being able to stay on top of it. From my life... OMG, I was sooo sick all week. Stomach was icky, nausteous, really tired and a headache. It was aweful. I don't know what it was. I am thankful I feel some better today. My dad called last night and said the VA scheduled him ANOTHER appointment at the VA hospital in the city. 'sigh' He lives in WF, drives up to here to Lawton, picks up me and my boys and we all go to the city with him. Its a long ass drive both ways and waiting isn't easy with an energetic 9 year old. I really don't mind most of the time, but it does get old. I want to be able to help my dad out, thats what family does, but I gotta rework everything, even the kids lessons when he needs me to go up there with him. I have to go with him cause he's not suppose to drive. Technically he don't have a license, but the VA says he shouldn't drive. But hes a stubborn man. And he has some relatives that live near him that use to drive him but they take advantage of him. So, that leaves me. From the Kitchen... For dinner we had a yummy healthy homemade pizza. So good. I am going... Hopefully no where this weekend. I'm just gonna take care of stuff at home and chill with my guys. I am reading... Last sacrifice, if I can ever stop long enough to read... I am hoping... That at weight in tomorrow I pull a good weight loss. I am hearing... the sounds of my hubby and eldest son returning form their trip to blockbuster. We're gonna watch little fockers!!!

New exercise equipment

I got some new exercise equipment yesturday. I got a stability ball, thight master(lol), a punching bag and gloves. I exercised with them last night and today so far. I love them all. I punched the shit out of the bag last night! lol. I was knocking my hubby back, he was holding the bag, and he is a big muscular guy. I am sweating my ass off on a daily basis and LOVING every minute of it!!!

A Simple Womans Day Book

Outside my window...birds are chirping, probably telling me to refill thier bird feeders. I am thinking...about my to do list I am thankful for...my family From our home...We took the week of lessons. We have tons to do this week and I didn't want to short the boys on their learning time. My oldest started rearranging his room yesturday and will hopefully finish today. My youngest is being extra annoying lately. I don't know why. And he wants his room rearranged now. Me, my oldest and my hubby worked on rearranging the family room last night. I love to rearrange. lol Hubby was way too tired to do a workout last night. We did take a short walk around the block though. I was dyin. My body was screaming at me from all the activity I did yesturday. I made another weight watchers dinner. Smothered porkchops. Everyone loved it! It took a little over an hour to cook the whikle thing, but I'm glad they liked it. By the end of the day, after an early dinner, a hard workout, a walk, and lots of physical exercise during the day, I got hungry. I was starving. I did have like 17 points left yesturday so I had an egg salad sandwich before bed. I couldn't help it. I stayed in my points. But if I didn't eat I would have woke up really hungry. From the kitchen...today I have planned oatmeal for breakfast, egg salad sandwiches for lunch and Pasta Primavera for dinner. With some yogurt for a snack if I hungry. I am wearing...my size 20 capris. Hopefully I will be able to say they are size 18 before too long. Then 16, 14, 12...... I am going... to take my dad to the city tomorrow. He has to have a test done at the VA hospital. Today I'm gonna get my hair cut. Yea! I love to get my hair cut!

A Mother’s Journal

In my life this week...... I had a crappy week! A majorly crappy week. Hubby took a half day and we did nothing but be lazy. We ate chinese food and watched movies all afternoon. I did workout before he got home though. Because of that day the next day was messed up too. I sat around and was lazy. I ate the wrong foods. I tried to eat a pizze from CiCi's and my belly so didnt like it. It made it come out. Never again! Then I got into an arguement with my hubby. He came home and said he was done with his job. He didn't feel like he was going anywhere there, he felt disrespected and was done with the people too. Great! I am a stay at home mom and we live pay check to pay check. I got a little freaked. We have been working up from nothing for the last several years. We moved here about 6 years ago with only what would fit in our van. We lived in a little one bedroom garage apartment, then in a bigger one bedroom apartment. But we made it work. Hubby was working at Walgreens at that time and wasn't paid very much. Then he got a job at a car dealership. We were able to move up. We got a small 2 bedroom. And now we are in a huge 3 bedroom with 2 living areas, eat in kitchen, extra room off the living room (we use as a game room), garage, huge yard. Its a rental and a very old one but its perfect for us. If he tries to change jobs it could be disasterous. He doesnt have a highschool diploma or GED right now and not a lot of different skills. He said he wanted to get away from working on cars. OMG! I freaked, we argued, I cried, then we made a plan that we could both be happy with. He's gonna work on getting his GED then we might look into taking some online classes. Since he is the only worked outside the home and we rely on his pay check he's limited on his choices. He could get a grant after he got his GED and take some college ot Votech classes but the grant only pays for day time classes. We can't afford night classes, unless me make plans to pay for them out of income tax. Anyways we got a plan and were working it. Kinda. I gotta get him to study for his GED. He hates "school" related stuff. He had bad PS experiences. But the rest of the week got better. I feel better and we have tons of errands to this weekend along with yard work, I gotta work on lessons, go grocery shopping, visit my dad and of course weight in. In our homeschool this week..... Lessons went pretty well this week. Kids completed everything. And my little one even took and passed a spelling test! Woo Hoo! Places we're goind and people we're seeing... Gonna visit my dad tomorrow. He says he wants to grill. My favorite things this week was..... Seeing my youngest take a spelling test and doing so well. What's working/not working for us... My youngest did jumping jacks to spell out his spelling words. This did wonders for him on his test. In my life what didn't work was me eatting crappy ass food! When will I ever learn to eat right. The crappy food always make me feel like shit!
