Totally. Awesome. Goodness!!

Had a GREAT day today! I finally felt good and had more energy.  One downer of the day, looked at another rental...BAD!  Waiting to move is driving me nutso.  I'm praying that we find something soon so Brittney doesn't kill her family and so that I don't go crazy!!

Ok, highlights of my day:




  • Forgot my purse and wallet at my other job yesterday and felt weird driving someone else's car around without my drivers license, so we went to pick it up.  It was fun to have the kids meet all the people at my other job.  Ben was being really shy and cuddly, which I never mind :)
  • Finally bought a headlight bulb for my car...though it turns out that it was just loose and really wasn't burnt out at all.  Got to love when Dad touches something and it automatically fixes itself.
  • Got to take Ben and Bella to the park today for a picnic!!  I love going to the park by the river.  The kids always love getting to wade into the water.  Today there were like 100 geese with their babies and Bella was so funny with them.  The Canadian geese were fine but the big ones with the orange beaks are scary!!! She was running away from them like they were going to kill her. We peeled a grapefruit and were throwing the peels into the water and the geese thought they were bread so they would pick up a piece and chew on it then spit it out then another one would come by and do the same thing.  SOOOOO FUNNY!!!
  • After the park, off to the library with the kids.  Ben was a little wet from the river so we had to make it a quicker trip.  Bella wanted me to read a few books to her and for some reason, the couches at the library just put me to sleep.  She kept elbowing me in the side, telling me to keep reading.  I felt bad but kind of laughed inside.
  • While at the library, the eye clinic called me and my Maui Jim prescription sunglasses were here and ready for me to pick up!! Woot Woot!! Super excited for my first pair of big girl sunglasses!!  Ben fell asleep in the car on the way from the library so we couldn't go get them right away but I made it after I got off of work.  They are SOOO PRETTY and so awesome!
  • Got to spend some time with Grandma and Mom after work.  Helped prep dinner (tacos), gave myself my 2nd Vitamin B12 shot, took a tiny nap and then got to go to Zumba!  I think I'm finally getting more energy from the B12 now that I'm not feeling sick anymore.  Feels awesome!  Wednesday nights Lindsey is the Zumba instructor and she kicks my trash but in a good way!  I always leave drenched and feeling satisfied by a good workout.
  • After Zumba I was REALLY wanting a nice cool treat but I'm trying to eat less carbs so there goes ice cream!!  I came up with my own concoction and it was SOOO yummy!
Healthy berry frozen yogurt:
    • A bunch of ice
    • About a 1/2 cup 1% milk
    • About 3/4 cup almond milk
    • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
    • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
    • 1 T. splenda
Stay tuned for more low carb healthy recipes.  I will be making a brand new menu for myself, all low carb but yummy.  I hate diets that are just bland and taste like cardboard.  Sometimes when I think of "low carb" I just think of salads and blah!  It's time to change my life to a low glycemic index/low carb life but I'm not going to sacrifice taste!! yay!
