Good News: I have now finished my Masters degree in School Counseling!!!
I am so happy about that and so proud of myself. I took my last final exam last night and now I am done. It was a lot of hard work and I'm so glad it's done.
Ya know what's weird, though? I am very glad to be done, but I've been in school so long, it feels weird to know I am not going to have it anymore. I went back to continue with my degree when my older son was 5 months old and it was a good outl...

I am so happy to report that I had a great day with food and exercise. After 4 awful days, I really needed a good one and I finally did. I was determined not to give up and I didn't. Very proud of myself.
I was thinking about this today and I think that MOPs brunch was really throwing a wrench into things. I knew it was coming up and I knew I would not eat on plan for it. So it was almost like I couldn't get it together until that was over.

I had decided I wasn't going to worry about food today because I didn't want to restrict myself at our last brunch (homemade tamales!!!).

What?! Does he not see how well I've done? Okay, I have messed up a lot, but he doesn't even know how I'm usually...

Happy Mother's Day!!!!
We had a nice day today. We went to Silver Dollar City with my in-laws and the kids. We had so much fun. The boys are at a great age--or at least, my 3 year old is. He is going on rides and is just so excited about the whole thing. The baby was able to ride the carousel and the train. And he loved playing in the ball area. Balls are his favorite toys and when I sat him down in the middle of the ball area, he started laughing and squealing. It was so cute. He lov...

5k Update:
So I talked to my friend Thursday and yesterday morning and told her about the whole conversation with hubby. She's the one who told me about the 5k and she did it too. Anyway, my friend is very soft spoken most of the time and she said she'd like to tell my husband a thing or two. That really told me something and as she and I talked about my options, I decided that no matter what, I was going to the 5k. If I had to bring both kids and walk the whole thing with the stoller, tha...
