I thought that I would write a little post since its been a few months since I last posted!
Things are going well, Scott is in the home stretch of his second shift rotation, and I can NOT wait I am sure missing him not only at home but just missing my husband! Micaela has one more competition left for showchoir this year and its over, she tried out for the musical and we are hoping to hear how that went soon. Gabe is doing well he is working hard on his grades and at times they get low and a few weeks pass before he pulls them up but he is working on it, and just currently got video games back yesterday so I am hoping it lasts for awhile. As for me I am happy and learning to love Mama T more and more everyday, and in doing so I am finding that it has affected me in many more aspects of my life! So I am digging where my life and my family are going!
Not really alot going on but I wanted to drop a line and I hope to write again soon!

New Year , New Me....
Happy 2011.... It has been a long time since I have posted last! I will do a better job at posting more often that is for sure and a goal for 2011.
Well lets see, the kids are both doing well in school they are hoping for either a delay or a cancellation every morning if we get snow or rain anything that could give them a delay :-) Micaela is really starting to gear up and get super busy for her show choir ALLURE, as this is this competition time. They are having at least 2-3 competitions a month, that doesn't include all that they are doing to prepare for them. So for the meantime she has stepped down from the worship team at church, which was really responsible of her we thought, and she is watching what all she does so shes not wearing herself thin. And once things settle down she will then be back up on the worship team :-) Gabe is doing really well at his school Imagine, his grades slipped there for a bit but he brought them up for Christmas break ( our deal was he couldn't have anything lower than a C- or no video games EVER ) so the only D he had he brought it up a little above a C- so he got his video games back, he has had them back every since then minus one day when he forgot to turn something in. But his grades all all As Bs and a C I believe as of yesterday! We are really proud of him for that for sure!! He is playing with this friends in the neighborhood not as much as we would like because he gets a little TOO into his video games but he is working on changing that!
Scott is back on second shift till February 18th, and since we have had this before the kids and I are easing into the schedule nicely I think! I am extra busy getting them to where they need to be and picking them up where as before we would split that, but its only for 4 weeks and then it will go back to normal!
Our schedule now is as follows:
MONDAY = Micaela show choir 6p - 8p
TUESDAY = Mama T bowls 6p -830p ish
WEDNESDAY = Micaela show choir 3p - 5p & band practice if she can make it 630p - 9p
THURSDAY = free days ( sometimes its extra rehearsal for Micaela show choir if they need it )
FRIDAY = we try to make family day where we do something together even if its just eat dinner together
SATURDAYS = are usually whatever everyone wants to do, Gabe plays with friends or video games Micaela plays on her guitar, her computer or ipod or phone, that is my day to do house work and homework and some things I want to do like read or just watch a movie, Scott will do his video games or chill with me and we do our running on SATURDAYS!
SUNDAYS = are church, then youth, and Scott goes into work by 5p.... So it seems busy but its not really just a lot of knowing where to be at the right time! Only 4 weeks and things will go back to us sharing the pick up and drop off duties.
Scott is still getting used to the new sleep schedule that he is on, I am getting more done at home with him being on second lol... He does his racing league with his brother every other week and really likes that so thats nice to see him doing something he really enjoys! I have started working out and watching what I eat ( counting calories ) I am going on my third week and so far have lost 3 pounds. So I suppose I am doing something right :-) Last week I only lost .2 lbs I was a little upset but its was the second week curse ( just like Biggest Loser has ) so the hubs told me to not be upset and maybe step it up this week in my workouts! So last night I shoveled our driveway ( took about 20 min ) did two pilates workout videos, my elliptical machine for 15 min, and my sit ups ( I do anywhere from 600- 750 a day ) and my curls. I felt really good working out that good last night and it helps me sleep so good I ♥ it!! So I am hoping within a few more weeks I will start to see some results!!
For the first time in a long time I think I can honestly say that I am happy, and doing better at liking who I am and how I look. It seems I have really been struggling with that these last few months, but now I can honestly say things are starting to change and I am looking to the future and leaning on God, things couldn't be better!
Well I think that will be it for now I will do my best to post at least ONCE a week if not more!
