Girls just wanna have fun!!!
Some of my friends and I went out last night to dinner then dancing. We had a blast. It was so nice to get out and hang with the ladies. We ate, drank, and danced the night away. They are all single and get to go out and do this routinely. But since I am the only maried one it is a treat for me to get out and go with them (thanks hubby for letting me). Hopefully I can do it again in a few months.

Dirty Thirty Party
My BFF and I threw our hubbys a birthday party last night. My hubby turns 30 on Wednsday and Jeremy turned 29 yesterday. We started out here at the house with many rounds of SingStar. Then we headed out to a dance hall. We had a great time!!

Paradise Lost
Today started out so great. I got to sleep in since basketball is over and I didn't have early morning practice. I got to school and was ready to start the day off with lots of positive energy. I was apart of a group of 8th graders science fair experiment. They are testing the effects of caffeine on heartrate. They took my resting heart rate (66) then I drank a cup of coffee. Then 10 minutes later they took it again (84). Then they took it again 30 minutes later and it was back to 66. Then they told me they would check it out around lunch time. After my contribution to sciencec, I headed down to athletics, which went great. I then decided to treat myself to Target. So 2nd period I headed over to Target. I browsed through the clothes and picked up 2 "wear them on the weekend" vintage tees and Valentines for my babies and hubby.
"Man what a great day this has been!!!"
Key word "has" because it went all down hill from there. Once I returned to school I was bombarded with the crazy menopausal teacher from across the hall. She proceeded to tell me what a failure I am at my team leader position and that I am too busy to do my job and that I should start delegating things out to others. (Even though she so conveniently didn't delegate anything to herself) She actually delegated something to two teachers without their knowledge. As the conversation continued, I am getting upset - crying upset - and I just want this butt chewing to stop. So I get up to go to the bathroom and this lady wants me to hug her. I tell her no I just want to go to the bathroom. As I turn, I see my AP standing in my door with his file folder that symbolizes that "I'm up next" meaning I am going to get evaluated. GREAT!!!! Luckily my kids had A lunch and my class wouldn't start for 30 minutes. But I knew he would be back. So after she left my room, my friend came and ate a quiet lunch with me (Taco Bueno). I wasn't really in the mood to talk about it because I was trying to calm myself down before my evaluation. Lunch is over and kids come in. I guess my friend had told my class that I was having a bad day because they were especially nice to me. Well right on cue my AP walked in and my formal observation began. My kids were phenomenal. I think the best that any class has ever been. They were on task, helping each other, working well in groups, and being attentive. However, I did have two interruptions...a teacher wanting to talk about ESL modifications and the lab rats who needed to take my pulse. Remember them from the morning. Well I was the good teacher and let them take it. I was shocked at the reading...101!!!!!! Who needs to exercise?!?! Just need to get a butt chewing and unexpected observation every day will keep the fat cells away. Oh well.
The rest of the class period went fine. Hopefully my evaluation will read that I am a great multitasker.
The day got somewhat better. I went on to entertain 4th period and babysit 5th. Then I had to do the hardest job, watch 12 girls on the soccer field for an hour and get paid 20 bucks. After that I headed to TJMaxx and shopped for a shirt for this weekend's Dirty Thirty party. I found some great bargains. After sifting through the sale racks, I headed to my sister's to help my niece with her math. I finally got home at 10.
I also miss my babies. They are at Gammaw and Pepaw's until tomorrow. It is so quiet around here. I even got up last night to go check on them like I normally do. I know I should be thankful they are getting to spend time with their grandparents. I just miss their smiling little faces and those adorable giggles.
I am going to try to be on board the Positive train tomorrow as cliche as that sounds. But I can not let someone else control my day and my attitude.I need to bring the paradise back!!

Boppin' to the Doodles
We were so lucky to get 16 free tickets to see the Doodlebops Live today. One of my basketball player's mom worked for a radio station and they had 16 tickets that were not used. She asked if we wanted them and of course I said Yeah. My BIL, SIL and their 10 month old went with us as well as a coworker and his family and my neighbor and her friend. It was a really fun show. It was just long enough. Buggers loved it. She danced all night. AnnRee did too. She danced so much she fell asleep the last 15 minutes of the show. It was a great time to hang with friends and family. Plus it was cheap fun...only cost $5 for parking. Sorry someone had to pay $10 (heehee)

Big Girls need love too
As most of you know I have been battling my weight for years now. My body never quite recovered after having two kids within 18 months. In college I mostly stayed around a 12/14. I got down to a 10 right before the wedding. That was probably the smallest I have ever been. After having two kids I squeezed my big booty into a 18W. I realized in July 2006 that I had to do something to get my weight under control. I have been working out and cutting calories for a while now. It is nice to finally have my new "diet" as a lifestyle. I try to adjust my calorie intake so I can enjoy the good things in life i.e. Chuy's creamy jalepeno dip...yum.
I decided to post some before and after pics. I haven't wanted to post these due to the shear fact at how big I was. I have worked very hard and it has taken me a year and a half to get back to that 14. I am almost into a 12 and I think 5-10 more pounds will do it.
My weigh in pic for school's Biggest Loser. I weighed in at a whopping 201!! Funny I had already lost about 15 pounds in this picture. I don't have any pics of when I was that big.
Funny I actually thought I was looking pretty good here at my 27th birthday. This is a year ago in January. And no I am not pregnant even though it looks like I am in my 3rd trimester.
Here is me now...
