To be fit, or not to be

Yes, my blogging is down. It is because of something sinister!! Something that brings the worst out in me.......


My dang Wii Fit!



There I am, that's me in the light blue, I'm the Mii ready to go. All the others are sleeping except Aysha. Cause we are the only two that are constantly battling with the Wii Fit.


Just a close up of me

Here's a close up of Child Husband. For some reason Wii won't let you put in more than 8 or 9 charactors in for a Mii.

You know Wii Fit is EVIL because it doesn't sweet talk you.


Oh that is 3.1 pounds since yesterday!!!!


Evil Wii Fit then gave me a list of choices of why I'm gaining weight. I skipped the honest answers like "eating too much" and choose "I don't know".

There is no pulling the Wool over the eye's of Evil Wii Fit.

Now I was kicking some Sherrill butt on Wii Fit's Advance Step Aerobics, but then she passed me, which is good, makes me work harder at it. But for some EVIL reason, my Wii Fit is not recording all my side steps on it. Notice the gray area's on the bottom. Gray means I missed those steps. I didn't miss them and now every time I do it, it shows missed steps.
I will NEVER beat Sherrill if it keeps giving me misses and I think it is off on the "perfects" also, cause I'm pretty sure I've done this enought to be "perfect" on each step.

I spent this long doing the Advance Step Arerobics today and Sherrill is still way ahead of me!

One day I almost passed out doing this and had to lay down. I told Child Husband to make sure he dressed me if I stroked out. Oh wait, did I just admit to exercising with nothing on? hee hee
Good thing I can't make my Mii naked ain't it! Actually I do wear a tank and undies.


Evil Wii Fit even keeps track of how often it controls you.


I do like the fact that after working out for over an hour, EWF does make me lose some weight.

No it ain't just water weight, cause I drank water while working out. I swear I saw fat dripping off of me.


And a word out to my beautiful Brazilian Friend Karine. I know you probably tried to translate this post and didn't get far. But all you need to know is this......


Nintendo bad, very, very BAD!

Is this a different form of Re Gifting?



This is the look on Cheyenne's face two years ago when she got a cell phone for Christmas. Unfortunately, the phone didn't stay her's long. She would call my sister at 1am and for some reason, I felt the need to carry two phones on me at all times. Then Child Husband took the phone. Well, she needs a phone. We don't have a house phone, so this year she is getting a cell phone again. Only it isn't a new phone, it is one I have had around, but it hasn't been used much. I'm going to decorate it with some bling, so it looks cool.

I'm wondering if she will have that same look on her face. Or will it be a shrug and a bland "Gee thanks Mom"

How does one live to be 100?

On my weekend getaway last weekend. I went to a birthday party for a woman I went to church with all my life growing up. Dathea is one of the nicest people you would ever meet. Very sweet, polite and always very well dressed. She is 100 years old now. Many people ask how she has lived such a long life. I have never asked, as I have it figured out.




She NEVER Married or had KIDS!



That's how you live to be 100!


I'm lucky to have made it to 40.

FRIDAY FRAGMENTS


Friday Fragments?

____________________________________________________________________________________


On Monday, Mercede's teacher called me because she wondered why Mercede was saying "I'm going to go home and smoke cigarettes." over and over... Hmmmmmmmm WHY could that be????
____________________________________________________________________

What do you get when you cross some electrical cords, electrical tape, Styrofoam cooler and a thermostat?

I'm not sure, but I will let you know when ,MacGyver Child Husband gets done with it. As long as it doesn't end up like his project with the pvc piping, flashlights and mini cam.

Cheyenne probably feels negleted that I don't post about her much. But that is cause she is the "good" one. Except for 6 days out of each month.

The 18th was my son Christopher's 25th Birthday. I haven't seen him in over 2 1/2 years. He lives in Ohio with his birth mom. My girls and I miss him and need to make a road trip to see him.

Yesterday I stopped by the Pennies in My Pocket blog and bought $150 worth of certificates to some great restaurants for only $12 dollars. That sale ended yesterday and I almost missed it because I stopped by her blog so late. I've got to remember to hit this blog early everyday cause I'm going to be eating good the next two months :)
UPDATE: Sale on gift certificates now ends on Monday.

I lost three pounds last week, but then Child Husband brought home Krispie Creme donuts and I ate 5 of them in 12 hours.

Please don't tell my peeps at

Today, Friday, Mercede came home from school with this shirt, I think her teacher is trying to make a point!





____________________________________________________________________________________

I think tomorrow, I should get rid of my puking pumpkin. I don't think he will be with us by Thanksgiving. What do you think?

What to do with Child Husband!



Yesterday I headed upstairs for a meeting. If you haven't read my blog long and are confused about the "upstairs" statement. Let me explain. I'm a Home Coordinator for an organization that provides supports to adults with disabilities. I also happen to be the live-in staff, which means I do overnights from Sunday to Thursday (I have Friday and Saturday nights off, as long as my weekend relief staff isn't on vacation). It is a large home, and my family and I live in the bottom and the individuals live upstairs. I have two staff at all times(during the day) that assist with the three people that live upstairs. Anywho, yesterday I was typing up some paperwork and had to run upstairs for a meeting. I told Child Husband not to let the kids near one section of our apartment, because I had the work laptop on the floor. I was in the meeting with my supervisor and a case manager from the regional center, when the phone rang upstairs. One of my staff answered it and handed it to me. Child husband was on the phone and says "I don't know who this lap top belongs to, but I just stepped on it and broke it." I hung up and sat there stunned and with tears brimming in my eye's. How was I going to pay for this lap top. The case manager asked me if I needed time to compose myself "I told her I didn't" But I did. I then ran down stairs, only to find out.......................










That it was a JOKE!



Oh yes.......... I was so mad at Child Husband. He told me he didn't realize I was in a meeting. I said "What part of "I got to run upstairs for a meeting" did you not get?"


Anywho, since this is my 100th post, really was my 101 post but I deleted one so it could be my 100th and I told you I was going to give away Child Husband.

Instead of having you comment to see who wins him. I have already done the honors of picking out someone whom I think he will be perfect for.


I have called this woman a "skank" and I was a little worried about the word, since I wasn't for sure about the meaning. I didn't want to be using a very fowl word, so I had to look "Skank" up.

I found this definition for it that fits her to a T.


Skank is a term for a person who may be repugnant for reasons of hygiene.


Yesterday on her blog she posted this post about her odor, she also must of guessed I was going to refer to this post, since she made it easier for you to access the descriptive events that lead up to her needing to carry Lysol in her purse

Today Skank Heather won George Clooney. Now, I know that NikkiCrumpet was afraid that if she didn't rig her contest by rubbing raw meat on the Skank Heather dog biscuit (confused? Then go here), that Skank Heather would stalk her and leave her "repugnant" imprints upon the lovely home of Mrs. Crumpet.

I do want to thank those of you who backed me up against the Evil Skank. Kari and Heathersister, you gave it your all and I thank you. Sometimes it may seem that evil prevails, but in the end The Good triump!

So Odorous, Skanky Heather, winner of my George Clooney photo, here is your prize from my 100th post giveaway.

Please be sure to leave him a meat strainer, duct tape and a soder iron for these larger projects. Important to remember: He gets sick easily and you must have ready at all times a vocabulary of "Poor baby, what can I do to for you?" phrases available to assist him thru his "I'm so sick and can't take care of the kids" days:)

My BAD Girl, Mercede

Remember this photo of Mercede from August, with the cigarette package she had found?




Well, Mercede has this thing for people in wheelchairs and also people on oxygen. She is drawn to them and always has to talk to them. I think she is a wheelchair magnet since I have always worked with people in wheelchairs. The oxygen thing, probably because she has been on it quite a few times.

Anywho, we were in Wal-Fart yesterday and an elderly lady in a motorized scooter and on oxygen, passes by us. Of course Mercede has to go up to her and ask her about her O2. The lady says "You know how I got on this oxygen? Smoking! Your not going to smoke are you?"

Course Mercede responds with, "Yeah, I'm going to SMOKE!"
