fell of the wagon

I just wanted to up date you all on my status with the weight loss. I am sitting at 30 lbs still trying to hit my goal weight but am having a little trouble. I need my motivation back! Today is the day that I will eat my small meals and fruit stay out of the lounge at work. and eat more fish. I will continue to do my walking. I will keep telling myself that it is all worth it. I will get into the pants that I have been waiting to get into for a long time. I will do it again.

I will need help I will need the positive rewards so I keep going. I just need to it again.

Today is the day I will do it and I will!!

sick kids

what do you do with the boo hoo baby? that is what I ask myself when I have a sick kid. you know they act like they are dying and need to be waited on hand and foot. they need to have their needs met before anything else is done. well when you have 5 children and one is sick it makes it hard to get things done and take care of them.
I would have to say that this school year I have been very lucky, I haven't had to miss much work or deal with to many sick kids. we had strep throat so I had to take Willie to the doctor. but other then that they all have been pretty healthly.
we were so lucky that no one else got it even after toad got home and took a big drink out of willies drink.
Toad was outside playing yesterday it was nice and he is the type of kid that would live outside if he could. When he came in and said he wanted to rest I knew something was wrong. at supper he wouldn't eat then went and laid down. I checked his temp 102.0 he took some meds and was out like a light. there was no waking him up. at 11pm it was 101.8 and at 3 it was 100. so we went down this morning it is 99.9 so hopefully we are on a mend. He is now watching a movie which he never does that he is playing farm or outside riding his bike so maybe we still have some mending to do. wish me luck with the sick toad!

triplets birthday

Willie not quite sure what he is doing waiting for his cake and ice cream or just wanting the spot light off of him not used to have it all due to him having to share everything being a triplet and all!

the big 12 year old I can't believe how time has go so fast I met them when they were four. when playing outside was the only things important for them now have the mp3 players and computers and name brand clothes.

Chey helping me frost the cake or should I say getting into trouble! she wanted a little frosting to eat a little piece of cake. I thought she wanted to lick the spoon and I missed her mouth. Well she cleaned it off and ate it. so she had her cake and frosting too!

They had a great birthday family came to spend the day with them and help celebrate their last year before they are teenagers. I can't believe how much they have changed and are growing up so fast.

so I have 3 down and one to go and I will have 4 12 year old please help me keep me my marbles I am sure I will lose them with all the changes they are about to go through. may be they will do one at a time but why would they start that now they haven't done anything by themselves yet.

Happy Birthday to my babies

need some help

WE have a little bit of trouble here my son has a cow for his 4-h project and we can't think of a name for this little guy. We got him when he was 2 days old. He couldn't get up on his own and couldn't walk due to birthing trouble. So we brought him home cleaned him up fed him a bottle and put a heat lamp on him. Sunday night he was up and moving his back leg was still unsteady and we didn't know if his leg was going to straighten up. but more bottles, heat, and Trayton got him up and moving. well now he is moving (sometimes Trayton wishes he couldn't move so fast) he has ripped his nipple off the bottle and buts Trayotn when the milk doesn't come out fast enough. he is turning out to be a good little cow. My little guy who I babysit for keeps calling him a dog because he is the size of our Stella I keep telling him it is a cow and he says no dog.

so any ways we need help naming the little guy I don't like calling him cow. her are some pics please help me name my little cow.
