Another week in 2012 is over with and what a week it was!!! Since my last blog lots has been going on. Probably the biggest news being....I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD for Spring Break!!!! Oh yeah and it's for free!!! The family I work for asked me to go with them and I was more then happy too! Happy is not even the right word for it. Roy wants to know what he will eat while I am gone. Oh and have I mentioned lately how much I love my job and how grateful I am to have it! Even though the kids were a little crazy this week I hardly even consider it a job. It is just me and the kids having fun! I even got to get crafty this week at work and made stuff for the older two kids! While working this week I also got to go see Beauty and the Beast in 3d. My favorite Disney movie of ALL time! I need to see it at least two or three more times before it leaves the theaters. So if you want to go just call me. (Roy is reading this over my shoulder and says you can only go with me if you are a girl. NO GUYS!)
I also went to another basketball game at the FedEx Forum during the week. The game I look forward to every year NY Knicks vs the MEM Grizzlies. However, I left the game VERY disappointed. The Grizz pretty much put a whopping on my Knicks :( It was horrible I still can't believe I even watched that game. I don't even believe that the Knicks were even there. However, I enjoyed spending the night with almost all the family. We even tried a new restaurant, Dyers Burgers Downtown. Everyone seemed to have a great time.
With things being as crazy as they were I didn't exercise the way I should have. I need to start putting my phone where I can't reach it so I actually have to get out of the bed to turn it off. Getting out of bed is the hardest part in the morning. Eating was also a major challenge this week and I have come to the conclusion that mother nature was to blame for the crazy eating. I still made our healthy meals it was just a lot of snacking in between that killed me. So I was more then relieved this morning when I went to WW and only gained .4 pounds. I still feel super dedicated probably even more so after this crazy past week. Have a great menu lined up for this up coming week and excited to try some great recipes. I feel like I cook sooo much more now that we are eating healthy and I love it. For example today I cooked strawberry whole wheat pancakes for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, crock pot chicken with fresh corn on the cob and spinach, and then for dessert I made a WW peanut butter brownie. I love tasting everything new!
To finish out the craziness of the week Roy is still home from work with an injured back. I know he is so frustrated about not being able to work (or he says he is anyway ;) ) and it stressed me out because I worry about paychecks majorly (probably more then I should). However, so far everything seems to be working out and he goes back to the doctor on Monday so fingers crossed for good news. On the plus side having him home has its benefits for sure! One being I don't have to worry about Perry (the cutest puppy in the world) half as much since I know Roy is there with him all day. Also, Roy is super helpful with things around the house. As long as I leave out a recipe and prep any veggies needed he will have dinner on the table or at least started before I get home from work. I was super impressed the night I got home from work and as I was opening the door I could see him placing dinner on the table. I just smiled. I kind of feel like he has also been way less stressed since he has been out of work which makes things nicer also.
Well, that is pretty much it for the week. I'm praying for another great week and am so grateful for all my blessings. I have a wonderful boyfriend, family, friends, and job!
