Its June and its HOT...but I'm still surviving...

It’s been awhile since my last post, but life has continued on much the same. I did write out a long post last week, but as soon as I hit "post", it disappeared into cyber space never to be seen or heard from again. I’ve been staying busy with work and enjoying the kids being out of school...as when THEY have no school it means mom has no school (i.e. no homework to check, no projects to assist with, etc.)! They are like babies with their days and nights mixed up...they stay up most (if not all) night watching tv and playing games, then sleep half the next day while dad and I are at work. Lazy bums! Lol We went camping over the weekend and had a blast. Now mind you, we live in Northwest Florida and the temps are already averaging in the high 90s every day with heat index pushing 110+! Two years ago the idea of me camping, in a TENT, in the middle of JUNE...well, I’d have thought you were nuts! And here I am now not only doing it, but having a blast! What wonderful memories we are creating with our children. I have such fond memories of camping at the beach when I was young, and its nice that my girls will have similar memories. My parents and brother’s family joined us so it was a lot of fun. I have noticed that once again I have gotten lax about my eating and notice I snack a lot more than I should. Today was my day to get back on track and cut all that crap out...yet another reminder of why the scale is my friend as when I saw that number this morning it was my reality check. Just the thing I need every once in awhile. Within a week or so I’ll be back to where I want to be so I’m not too upset. Paid the final cruise payment yesterday and we are down to 75 days until the cruise now! I cannot wait! I already have my formal dresses and the girls now have theirs as well. As promised I’ll be posting pics soon of us in them...I just keep forgetting. Hope you all are continuing to make progress on your own journey!
