Wow it has been a while!  I can't blame not posting on anything else except pure laziness!

I am so tired!  I had my sleep study done this past weekend.  It went well, but I don't think I had any gasping for air.  Not that I am aware of anyhow.  I actually slept pretty good because I was able to take my sleep medicine.  I have been doing really good not taking any, but I knew i would never go to sleep hooked up to all that crap without meds.

My doctor also wanted me to see a nutritionist.  The hospital here has a nutrition class, so they sent me to that.  It was a really good class and the instructor was awesome!  I learned quite a bit.  I hope I can follow the things they said.  I have a ton of weight to lose, about 75-85 lbs!  I also joined a walking program here on post.  I have to go in next week to get set up with a pedometer.  I think they said the goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day!  That seems nearly impossible right now, so we shall see.  The program is a motivator though because I will have to go back into the doctors office for them to check my progress.

Lopez is suppose to be going to the field in the next week or so.  His unit is driving us NUTS!  They have changed the date of the field exercise so many times.  I swear they don't know what the heck they are doing!  First he was leaving on the 6th of May and staying for a month.  Then it was the 18th and staying for 2 weeks and now it is the 10th, staying for a week.  AGH!!!!  It is so hard to plan anything!  

Honestly I was kinda looking forward to Lopez leaving.  Sounds horrible I know.  The reason I say that is because I wanted to get a jump start on this diet without having to worry about feeding him the same old stuff and trying to cook healthy for me.  He has already said he can't follow a few of the diet things, like no starches for dinner.  Plus I was hoping to have a month to get Selly sleeping in her own bed.  I have given up for now and have been letting her sleep in the bed with us.  Bad I know, but the fighting with her every night was getting very old.  The third reason was that I would get to have the car for a whole month!  I go a little stir crazy sometimes with only one car.  

The kiddos are doing good.  Jacob has about 5 teeth coming in, so the poor little guy has been miserable!  He has also started taking a few steps.  He still crawls most of the time, but he is getting braver.

Giselly is bored to death.  I am trying hard to keep her entertained, but I am so tired all the time.  I have to force myself to get her outside.  We have had some friends over for her to play with about once a week, so that helps.  I am working on it.  I plan on starting her "learning" again, she loves it so much.  

I took a HUGE step with my Discovery Toys business last week.  I bought almost $400 in inventory!!  I still need to get on the ball with the parties and stuff.  I figured the inventory would help motivate me to get out there and get it sold!  

Sorry this one was kinda boring.  Nothing too exciting has been going on.
