My So Called Life

There are lots of life changes going on in our household. Lucas is not a baby anymore for sure. He has been crawling, drinking from a sippy cup, feeding himself snacks and holding his own bottle. As he was standing by the front door I realized that my baby was no more. He is able to communicate with his brother and play now. Logan has also been showing me that he is all grown up lately. He can make his own chocolate milk, help me do laundry, clean his own room alone, carry on a phone conversation with his grandparent's and much more. Yes some of these he has been doing for awhile but I just didn't want to admit it. Watching him play t-ball the other night made me so proud. He was listening to his coach and supporting his own teammates.

I have made a career change that probably deserves it's own post but this will have to do for now. I start my new job on Monday I will be working less hours and spending more time with the kids. It is a salary position with many possibilities in the future. I am looking forward to having Friday's off April through December. While it was hard to leave the University after almost 6 years the thought of more time with my children is worth more to me. Maybe I will even have more time to write my thoughts down or maybe I will go back to school. Only time will tell!

Jason and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary last week. My MIL watched both boys so that we could go out to dinner. I have not had a date out with my husband in well I can't remember how long. First time we have ate out alone since Lucas was born I know this for sure. It was so nice to have entire meal with great conversation but I was ready to get back to the kids afterwards.

I feel like I can finally say something about my dieting now. I didn't want to put pressure on myself to lose weight but it was time. I have been on Weight Watchers for almost 12 weeks now. I have lost 18 pounds since I started on WW. I have lost a total of 43 pounds since September when Lucas was born. I am happy to tell you girls that I am down to 155 now. I have 10 lbs to lose before I hit my goal weight. I am very proud of myself but I have also been slacking off the last week so Monday I need to get back at it. If only I could exercise I think it would be easier to lose this last little bit. Maybe with my new job I will have time in the morning's to do my Wii Fit.

I am sure I have much more to share but I need to go start the boy's bath water.
