202.6

I know I have not written in a while.  I did weigh myself yesterday...202.6 pounds.  I have been eating better but have not been doing the cardio to lose the weight.  My kids and husband have been sick and I have so much going on in school right now.  I have to take two tests this week and am feeling a little overwhelmed.  I have been trying to walk to pick Kayley up from school.  I hope things will calm down soon so we can take bike rides and walks together as a family on top of me doing some cardio daily.  I have to make good grades so I can get into nursing school in Oklahoma.  Next semester I will probably only take two classes.  It is too hard to take three classes at home with a two year old and Kayley has homework everyday we have to work on, so a lot going on!!

Well, the girls started off in their seperate beds, but same room pretty badly.  I was up until nearly midnight with them Friday and Saturday they were okay.  Kayley woke up at midnight and came downstair saying she could night find Blake.  Awesome way to be woken up let me tell you.  I raced upstairs and saw a shadowy figure on the ground by Blake's bed.  I touched it and knew it was her.  Kayley laid back down in her bed and I thought she was going to go back to sleep, but about 12:30 I heard her go into my mom's room.  BUT Sunday night they were HORRIBLE!!  They woke up my mom at midnight.  I heard Blake over the moniter.  I was still awake of course finishing up homework.  About one I went up there to check on them and my mom was still in their room.  I thought Blake was the only one awake so I took downstairs with me and laid on the couch with her.  As I was walking out my mom whispered that Kayley was awake too.  I almost had Blake to sleep when Kayley came down the stairs.  Then they were really awake.  I took them back to their room and stayed in there with them.  They would not go back to sleep.  Finally about three I made Kayley go in my mom's room while I slept laid with Blake until time to get up.  We slept laid there until nearly 7am.  I let Kayley sleep a little later and took her to school at 9 instead of 8.  Tuesday night they only got up twice and were alseep by 8:30.  We heard them awake at 6:30.  Perfect timing.  Last night Rachel, Patrick, and Brody came over.  Brody is getting so big.  He can sit up all by himself and tries very hard to kind of crawl.  He does this thing where he gets on his hands and feet and wobbles for a few seconds and then just sits.  It is so cute.  I made a juicy baked whole chicken with green beans, salad, and whole grain rice.  It was pretty good.  The girls feel asleep about 9:00 and did not wake up unitl 6:15!  So night number two was very successful!!  I hope they keep this up.

I know I said I would post my mini goals, but I have not had time to think about it...so maybe tomorrow or maybe next week.  I don't know.  I will try to get it done this week, but not making any promises.  HAHA!
