Birthdays

Planning 2 bithday parties for the next 3 weeks. Rebekah is having a 9 girl sleep over on the 15/16th and doing an iron chef cooking party. What's that? Well you take a secret ingredient and make something tasty with it in two teams, in two kitchens in one hour. Should be interesting. :) Morgan, whose real birthday is not until August, is having a Daddy/daughter prom in honor of her 10th birthday with 30 girls and their Daddys! The music is done for that at least and the invitations go out tomorrow.


Operation - 100
been drinking tons of water
attended my first WW meeting (by their scale I have already lost 6 pounds)
worked out 2x at the gym
walked once - but who ordered the darn rain???
eating fresh fruit and veggies at every meal and salad every night with dinner (for everyone)
having issues avoiding sweets.
I am a carb junkie and that is going to be the hardest thing to cut out or cut back.

Karma Chameleon

Ok - now I truly am entering the world of blogging

I may have the record for the longest amount of time between blog entries. I set this blog up and promptly decided I had no time for it. I never went back. Now I am ready to enter the world of blogging.

First of all I am a mommy. I have 4 daughters.
Lauren is my baby. She is 3 years old and full of mischief.... she always has an answer for everything. Loves to tease. Would live outside if I let her. Never misses anything especially if there is candy or chocolate nearby.

Isabella is 5. She starts kindergarten in September. She is my quasi shy child. Everything is an issue with her. She cries at the drop of the hat. She is smart as a whip. Prefers indoor activities unless she feels she is being left out of the outdoor fun.

Morgan is 9. She is in grade 4. Smart, athletic, great singing voice, and GOOFY. She is silly and double jointed... a dangerous combination if you get grossed out by shoulder blades not being in the right spots. (shudder) She is very forgetful as a rule and there is generally a trail left behind her of her stuff where ever she goes!

Rebekah is almost 12 (2 weeks). She is in grade 6. Smart, great singing voice, loves acting, tries most sports (she is a little too girlie to be great at them). She also has ATTITUDE... lots of attitude.

They are great kids....most of the time. There are times, of course, that I would love to sell them to the zoo. :)

Speaking of zoos we have lots of pets. We have our dog Sadie, the beagle jack russell cross. Mocha, a male Netherland Dwarf bunny. My veiled chameleon, Karma. 2 leopard geckos, Spaz and Toast. 3 red eyed tree frogs (with 2 in froggy heaven), Diego, Lucia, Ribbit (Koki and Harvey in heaven) and a tomato frog, named Bob the Tomato. So welcome to my world.

As well, I have just started a diet and exercise program in hopes of losing 100 pounds. The sucess of which depends on my endocrinologist being able to get my thyroid in check. My mom and husband are joining me in this endevor. They both hope to lose 30 to 40 pounds. Feel free to check in...I promise it won't be so long between posts.

So now I am a Blogger

Let me introduce myself. I am Sara, wife to Jeff, mom to Rebekah, Morgan, Isabella and Lauren, and owner of new puppy Sadie (a beagle/jack russel cross). Now you know why my theme is PINK.... 4 daughters and a female dog. So I will share with you my joys and frustrations...lessons I teach and lessons I learn...highs and lows in my life. You are now a part of my diary.
