Beautiful Ice Balls

I love Pinterest. I am trying hard to use more of the things I pin. 

So after days of being stuck inside because of sick children and bad weather I decided we needed a fun activity. This is so easy and honestly they turn out beautiful. Fill balloons with water and a couple of drops of food coloring. Set outside to freeze. 

 I was thinking it would only take a few hours,  over night at the most. It took several days and that was with below zero temps. 

We then brought them in and pulled off the balloons. That was it, they were beautiful. 

Feeling Beachie

The statements: 1. I _want to lose weight___ but not _by exercise, isn’t there a magical pill I can take so I can eat a cheesecake. ____ 2. _Cheesecake__ is my favorite __dessert_and I do not care if it is turtle cheesecake or plain cheesecake._ 3. When it _snows__ I __stay inside and look at how pretty it is but I do not go out on the roads because I am a wimp.__/li> 4. Once upon a time __is a show I started watching to see if it was okay for my daughter________ but now ___I cannot stop watching it. Why do I get sucked into this stuff. I watched all of Lost because my son wanted to watch it.________ Okay, I love number 4 so I am going to do it again. Once upon a time, I was not a mother, but now I am the mother of seven and my life has never been better. Once upon a time, I was single but now I am happily married and I would not change that for anything. Once upon a time, I was lost. But now I am free and saved.

Waffles

When we moved into this house we decided to downside on things. One of the things that we decided was to get rid of cable. Which means we have been watching a ton of Netflix. 

 The other day we watched about food trucks. Our favorite food truck was the waffle truck. One of the waffles had peanut butter and bananas on it. I could not wait to wake up the next morning and make waffles. So I made waffles for breakfast and some to freeze. 

  It was nice to make something to put into the deep freezer. I cannot wait to re stock our deep freezer. 

And in case anyone wants to buy me anything I would love a food truck.

Weight Loss Update

I did not post last week, mostly because I was embarrassed to admit that I have not lost weight. I do okay during the week but then loose it on the weekend. I am determined to start excercising soon. This week I have made better choices. I chose a banana and a bottle of water instead of a candy bar and soda. I passed on the Mountain Dew at small group. That does not mean every choice was good but I am trying to think through it. 

I also broke down and went to the doctor for a breast infection I have been fighting for over a week. Part of getting healthy is taking care of my whole body. I also started visiting a chiropractor this week.

Oh my weight, I weigh 205 now. Down 12 pounds.

Time Alone

I wonder if I will ever get more than a few minutes alone in the bathroom alone. My children have learned to use the baby for there benefit. Yesterday this little darling looking around the door at me. How can I take 2 minutes to brush my teeth when he is looking for me. When I finally opened the bathroom door he was setting there waiting on me. 

I don't mind because he is so snugly these days.
