Boy, It's hot

We are going on 3 weeks of 90's and no rain!!!! My water bill will be outrageous!! Luckily here, in this small town, we get 2 bills where we can take 1/2 off. Really cool!
We had a boyscout cook out here at the house. It was in the 90's and hot... but the kids played on the slip and slide and loved it. Yummy food, lots of soda, water balloons and water fights. GREAT FUN!!
I have officially killed our only tree that we planted. I planted flowers around the base and apparently sucked all the life out of the roots of the tree. I am bummed... but will find a great replacement soon. I will put our flowers in another spot. and leave the new tree to breathe!!

We have 2 new houses going up in our culdesac. It is very busy around the neighborhood. They are completing two others. They will be nice ones. I hope they sell quick. We always enjoy having new people in the area.
Picture updates coming soon.

Only 469 days to go!!

So here I am, 4 days into Jim's leave... and I miss him terribly! the weather is beautiful, the kids are at daycare and school and I am going to work this pm. I am still alive, the kids are still alive which is probably most important. This weekend is suppose to be incredible!!! Sunny and 80's!! Monday is supposed to be 87 for our high. I am going to try to put some pictures on today. Hopefully I will be successful.




Many of you have asked about my weight loss. It is going well. This is me at my heaviest. a WHOPPING 226, the point at which I decided.... NO MORE! It has been many years since I have seen some of you and you may not even recognize me... for some of you... this is all you have known.
since I have been driving by LA Weightloss almost every day... I figured I would check it out. Good thing I did, because it has changed me and my life.. My weight loss is slow, but still going down which is the most important thing. I am at about 23 lbs so far since january. It should be more, but I won't focus on should'ves.... only what I have done. I am very proud but I have a long way to go still.
You can continue to see my loss as I post it.
see you soon,
Janet
