Weighing In...

Allen and I have decided to try weight watchers again...together!! We both need to get on track. Him for both health reasons and work reasons..me for health reasons...and well...I want to look good for the cruise in January. I have a LOOOONG way to go to my goal weight..but I'm going to set small goals and celebrate each of them when I reach them. I'm going to copy Niki and post our weight loss on here...keep us accountable to all of you!! We can't afford the big expensive plans out there..so we're doing it the old fashioned way...portion portion portion...with healthy choices and excersise...I'm going walking tonight with Cassie. It's been too long since we had our evening routine of walking. It'll be so nice to get back on track...with walking..and with seeing Cassie. I miss her.

Emma crawled into bed with me this morning. It had been awhile since she last did that. I was awake...enjoying a rare morning that I was able to sleep in a bit. We layed in bed and she talked about all the people she loved. I was amazed with the names she came up with. She certainly has one heck of a memory. I don't think she left anyone out.

So I am changing positions at Lowe's. I'm moving into the Cash Office...which means I've had to hire a babysitter. I wasn't excited about the idea of it..but it meant much more to me that I'd get to spend time with my family in the evenings. Allen and I would no longer be doing the trade off when he got home. It'll be regular hours, and I'll be on the same schedule as Allen. I'm really looking forward to it. Perks at work are I wont have to deal with nasty customers anymore. I'll just be counting money..balancing reports..and keeping the money straight. No more customers telling me to shut up...calling me stupid...or last night..I got called an idiot...lovely people in the world today aren't there??? I was upset at first..very upset..which usually I don't let them get under my skin...but these guys just wouldn't stop with the insults...and I was right. I'm over it now though...they'll get theirs one day.

Enough rambles for one day!! Love to all of you!!

Girl, I'm glad you'll be away from those lousy customers. And I'm sure you're thrilled about regular hours. I WILL miss being able to see you any day, during the day, but I'm sure you'll email me your schedule (hint, hint). I wish we were neighbors and could walk together every evening. That would be nice. I need to get back into a workout routine when I get home, too. All in due time. For now, I miss you bunches and love you.

Congrats on the promotion!!! It will be nice when your kids are all in school to be able to be home at night with them! Nice to be away from idiot customers too, don't you love them?? "Here, I expect a full refund for this tree I completely killed and it looks like a fire engulfed it!" :P

That is great for you Christy! Who will watch the kids? That must be so fulfilling to get a promotion after such a short time there! You are really making a name for yourself here in the states ;-) Miss and love you!

Also, good luck with the weight watchers! Mike and I find it much easier to stick to when you do it together!
