March Madness

So, it is the beginning of March and I should post my goals for this month, not that it did me a lot of good to post them last month, but hey whatever.
1)Last month I tried to lose 5 lbs over the entire month I walked over 50 miles and each day I walked (about 10 days) I did over 100 crunches. This walking does not count, chasing the baby ALL over the house, running around the park during my older son's baseball practice chasing the baby, shopping ext. Anyway despite that and more closely monitoring our eating habits I gained 3 FREAKING POUNDS!!! So this month I just want to not gain anymore. I will keep walking and watching what I eat, and by watching it I don't mean watching it enter my mouth lol.
2)I want to continue cooking, I am finding it is kind of fun.
3)I still need to find a baby and me class (February failed goal).
4)E-bay goal list 20 items (hopefully 10 will sell).
5) Start packing up the house, maybe we will get a house SOON!
Five is a good goal list. What are your goals for this month??

WOW That is all I can say...

I want to preface this by saying I don’t get much adult tv time. So watching the Winter Olympics is not my top priority. I had heard about the fuss it was making on the radio but I did not believe the hype until I watched their dance. I had to watch this twice. That is how unbelievable I found it. Yes, I am talking about this year’s ice dance competition. The theme of this year’s skating dance was to represent a country’s style weather it was your country or another. Russia decided to do an Australian Aboriginal dance. I had to look up what a traditional Aboriginal dace was, as the only one I have seen was on Crocodile Dundee. I could not believe how these two people could stereo type a culture like they did. They said they “researched” the dance before they put it together. Whoever did their research needs to be fired! They pretty much make a mockery of the Aborigine culture. I was completely floored. If you have not seen it watch it here.

LOL Boys!

I asked my 10 year old to watch his brother while I got into the shower.

My Addiction

Ok Seriously, I don’t think I have an addictive personality. I love to play on Facebook mainly because I am bored during the day and I don’t want to clean my house. However recently I was introduced to the wonders of e-bay selling. The first week I listed 4 items, I checked it once a day. Honestly, I could say I was happy when only one item sold. Of course, I would have been ecstatic if they had all sold, but, one was a good start. Then I started looking at what other people were selling. OMGoodness! People will buy anything! So that is when my addiction began. It has been 33 days and I have listed over 100 items. I have sold about half of them. That is not here or there. I check my ebay ever 30 minutes to see if someone has bid on an item. I have even gotten to the point where I check it in the middle if the night when I get up to check on my boys when they are sleeping. I have started going through my house looking for stuff I think people will buy. (Granted it is a great way to spring clean.) My husband has started leaving me notes saying “not for sale” on items.
So I am saying “Hello my name is Bobbie and I am addicted to E-bay….”
Just don’t stage an intervention until my items sell!

Dreaded Weight Post

The first half of February have been filled with sick baby and momma, so not much has been going on to accomplish my goals for this month. So I have to make up for lost time in the exercise department. I think I started that off well yesterday. I walked a total of 5 miles, 2.5 downhill and well the other way was a steady incline to say the least. I was pushing the stroller too so I should get bonus points for that. I am going again on Friday of this week and starting next week this will become a 3 times a week walk. I hope it works my big butt! Yeah so far the elliptical has been collecting dust in the corner but I am dusting it off and getting on it today. As you can tell I am feeling a little better. My chest still hurts when I get going well but I will deal with it. Sooo what you have all been eagerly anticipating (lol there was no sarcasm there) I weighed myself yesterday an even 200lbs ewwwwwwwwww! When the he!! Did that happen????

Fabulous February Accountability

Here are my goals for February, I began this thing to set them and see then through so I might as well get them out there first thing. I am starting off light, that way I can make sure to follow through. Besides February is a short month.

My Goals for February:

1. Loose 5 lbs - I know I gave myself a month to do it, baby steps here people. I really want to be comfortable in a bathing suit by this summer. I will post my weight here when I get the nerve to weigh myself. It’s all about accountability.
2. Get on the elliptical at least 3 times a week. (30 minutes each time) This will help with goal #1
3. Join a baby and me class. I have to have something to get me up and out of the house. Ok, mainly to make me shower. It is so easy to stay in pj’s all day long.
4. Cook dinner at least 4 times a week. If you know me I hate to cook.

A Little Insight

Well I figured there is only one way to start this; tell you who I am and why I am starting a blog.

My name is Bobbie, and I am a new stay at home mom and house wife ( this is a trial run, honestly I have no idea how I am going to stay sane at home all the time. Please, let me know if you notice that I am loosing it). I have two beautiful boys, a ten year old who thinks he is going on 16 and a 6 month old (yeah, don't ask about the age gap I am still asking my self WTH was I thinking. Usually at 3am when Squish wakes up.) I have a wonderful husband who is simply amazing even after all these years.

So I was playing on Facebook (yes, I do that a lot) and I realized that I need to write down my goals or I will never get them done. I am hoping that by putting them out here in the bog wide world I will hold myself a little more accountable for what I should be doing instead of what I am really doing. I also need to have an outlet for those fabulous moments of being a mother. If you have children, you know the ones I mean. So that is pretty much what I will be writing about in a nutshell. Of, course there will be those odd moments when I feel the need to express my opinion about something. My first goal is to write here at least once a week. I have no idea what I should be doing or writing about on here so it is probably going to be a little raw. My apologies in advance. Happy Reading!!
