Spring Break. Crap!

Why couldn't spring break be last week when the weather was in the 80s?  The week would of been much better! Anyway, I cannot control the weather but we had a great week. Monday, Corbin had a fever so we stayed home and did not do much Tuesday same thing. Wednesday, we went for a walk and sat on the porch swing. Corbin was still sick that day as well. Thursday we made cake pops shaped as eggs and we also played outside. Today, Daddy was home! We were going to go to the zoo but we were afraid of rain. So instead we went to the park, fed ducks and had a picnic. What a great family day. I also got busy on my container garden. Which was nice to get started on. 

Tomorrow, I am taking the compass test for Columbus State while Randy and the kids to to Cosi and use our membership. I am so nervous. I want this so bad but I am so afraid of a road block or being let down. All I ever wanted was to go back to college. The opportunity is here and all I can think is when is the other shoe going to drop? I really just have to leap and if and if something does not work then I will deal with it then. Wish me luck. 

Channell Family Garden

My house plants ( bamboo, bonsai tree, boston fern. ivy, and a flower from my grandmas funeral. You cannot see it but my little green house is in the back that contains all my veggies. Hanging is a container of strawberries and three other pots have strawberries.

Sunday we are going to the zoo. It is going to be the warmest day of all the days and I cannot wait. We only go once or twice a year when it is warm but not hot. This year we got a huge discount on a membership so we decided to go for it. We probably will go three times tops. I am not a big zoo fan, once you see it once pretty much remains the same. I am more of a hiking girl or swimming girl when it gets super hot.

Cake pops!!! Do they look like eggs to you? 

 Corbin swinging at the park for the first time!! Weeeee!

 Rotten to the core Ava!

Back on the weight loss wagon.

After a week of eating healthier I am back on the wagon. This week I am going to start exercising again. I know I can get back down to a healthy weight. There are no excuses now. I just have to get off my butt and do it.

Hoping to grow a garden too to help with my weight loss. I know the more fruits and veggies you eat the fuller you are and the less likely you are to eat crap!We are growing peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, broccoli, green beans, sugar snap peas, and lettuce. Pretty much all you need to make a good salad.

So far this week and last I lost three pounds. I am doing cardio one day and pilates the next. So far so good!

Spring!!!!!!

Spring is here!!! Wooo Hoo! Before you know it my family will be very active again. Bike rides, hiking, swimming, walks, and parks. We are super excited!

Next week is spring break and I have tons of things planned. I think if it keeps in the 80s we need to have a water gun fight or play in the sprinkler. I want my kids to remember a great spring break. The weather better cooperate!

Today, I took the younger two kids for a walk and outside to play. The weather is just so nice that staying inside is not an option. We went and played in the sprinkler too. Corbin surprised me by standing up. I was so excited to see him do it without holding on to anything! I was so proud! Ava loved playing in the sprinkler too. What a great day! Later we are going to have a cook out. Then we are going to the park. Spring is starting off beautiful!

Ohhhh the irony!! And my beautiful family. (best for last)

Life is funny sometimes. What goes around always comes right back around. Just when you least expect it too. 

Over the weekend I had a baby shower to go to. I had to be around people in my husband's family that have never liked me or accepted me. One person in particular really got a taste of her own medicine. I was so happy to see someone finally reek what they sow. 

My husband's cousin was always like "my kids are not going to be loud","my kids are going to be perfect". What a crock. Her kids were probably the worst I have seen in a long time. They would not  listen to a word she said. She had to spank her youngest daughter right in front of everyone. What an idiot. I wanted to laugh so hard. Paybacks are hell. Maybe next time she will not judge or be rude to someone else's kid. Now who is the idiot?

On a lighter note,  (yeah I enjoyed that topic way too much). Everything has been going great. Corbin is nine months and is trying hard to walk. Ava is adding! Can you believe that? She loves it too. Tina is doing very well in school and is playing the violin.

Randy and I are doing great too. Randy got fixed ( no more babies) and I have been working on going to college. More soon. I really have to get ready for work.
