1 Whole week!!!!!!!

Well, I can hardly believe it, I have made it 1 entire week without sugar OR bread!!!!!!! And can I tell you I am already reaping the rewards! I feel so much better, joint pain in my left knee is diminishing, have more energy and seems like I am not as ditzy as usual! Ha! My goal is to go for 90 days...many think I can't do it, but they really don't know me that well.

Finally got our kitchen faucet fixed last night. What a pain! Water everywhere underneath the sink, ruined the cabinet. Just glad it's fixed...Dwayne put our old faucet back on...so glad he saved it!

Mara is stressed about getting braces for her teeth...when I hope this is going to be several years in the future. Bless her heart...she's been a drama queen like her mom! She got all A's on her report card...so proud of her. Love you Mara!

Drew...well, we need to work on his grades a little, but still proud son! Love you Drew!

Dwayne, is stressed out at work over a co-worker situation...hope it gets resolved soon.

This week

Well, we made it through the week! Let's see, what all happened? Drew had a huge math test on Monday that we studied so hard for...found out he made a 62...not good. EOG's are pretty soon too...a little nervous!
I started having foot/ankle pain this week which is very unusual for me....joint pain? Well, I decided to do a Parasite/Candida Cleanse, so I started Friday and I did well for the day...even felt a little better. I just haven't been feeling well lately...so I really hope this works. I think it will.

Dwayne put up floating shelves for me in the hall closet for all of my inventory! He really did a great job...so proud of him! Now, I have a really big job of cleaning out the closet and moving his stuff back in and moving the armoire and book shelf out of our closet. I know it will look great though!

Mara & I went grocery shopping together yesterday & bought lots of healthy stuff. Drew went with Dwayne to the Restore for Earthday Celebration & to sell candy bars for the boy scouts. It' s very gloomy outside right now but is supposed to be in the lower 80's.

Whew! This weekend has been a doozy! Went to dinner with our care group to the American Restaurant....had calabash shrimp, baked potato and slaw...mmmmmm....so good! The kids loved it..they had chicken fingers. The waitress commented on how well behaved they were...that makes me such a proud momma!
Church on Sunday was great! We took the 2nd graders to The Attic today. We then came home, ate lunch, then worked with Drew on his math homework only to find out that he had a test on Monday!!!!!! What? So, for the next 4 hours, we studied. I can only hope & pray he makes a good grade today. Report cards come out on Thursday...I'm hoping for a C in math....we'll see.
Today. I need to catch up on my laundry and tidy up a bit. It's pretty here today and in the 70's.

The Weekend!

Well, it's Saturday and have tons to do! Cleaning, cooking, & then get ready to go out to dinner with our SS class! I am going by to pick Dwayne up at work and then scoot off to the Americana Restaurant in Matthews, NC. Never been to it, so I am hoping it is really good!

Our Financial Peace University class was really good last night! Gazelle Intensity! Awesome! Today is sunny and going to be really hot I think! Dwayne's family comes home from FL today from a Disney Vacation.

Great Day!!!

Well, the waiting is over...we got into MIC!!!!!! We were having a party here at our house last night! Drew is going to know alot of people from scouts that made it in also! Mara, well I think she will know a few girls and all the boy scouts! Ha! We are just so excited about next fall and what God has planned for our lives! Hooray for Mountain Island Charter!!

School & Stuff

Well today it is beautiful outside and in the 70's already...wahoo! Tonight is our MI Charter Lottery and I have to say I'm a little nervous!  The Lincoln Charter was last week when we were gone for spring break, so we still don't know the results, but should find out by next week.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed....and praying alot!


 Mara has been wearing her pink polka dotted tights since Christmas with her uniforms....so funny, and this morning she insisted on wearing her winter suede boots to school.  I let her, because it wasn't a big deal, but I did think it was quite funny.  She is just my precious little girl.  :)

Drew on the other hand is starting to get picky about his clothes now, which is so unlike him and he is getting into his teen age years a little too early for me. Talking back, asking questions when he should be doing something else...whew.  It's a long road ahead!

I made a  banana split brownie today for Dwayne to take to Charlene's baby shower today, it looked so good & Dwayne said it was and that everyone really liked it! It's so easy & really fast to put together!

Aloha!

I have just decided that I want to go to Hawaii!  I mean really, ever since I was a little girl and watched Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I...I wanted to go. Dwayne has always wanted to go to.  And the kids, well, they never really knew that much about Hawaii until they saw the 3 part series from the Brady Bunch of them going to Hawaii and then they jumped on the bandwagon! I know lots of people that have been there and even this week a friend just visited there.  I mean it's just a vacation spot that I 've always  dreamed of. I wonder how long it will take me to get there?
