Wow! i cant believe how long its been!!

WOW!

I cant believe how long t has been since i have blogged about anything! no product reviews, no recipes, no food blogs, no tv show,  no projects with kids, no weight loss... nothing!
WELL lets just say a lot has happened around here since my last blog! it doesn't feel like much as its happening, but whoa, you get busy.. and all of a sudden its been way over a month since you have even logged on to blogger!

Well what has been taking up all of my time? a few things really... Trying to keep ahead of house work with 2 boys and a husband isn't easy! lol Trying to do ANYTHING with a toddler is NEVR easy! lol!!
He has switched from taking 2 naps a day to taking only one. Which isn't a big deal at all, thats what he was ready to do, but i used to use those nap times to blog, clean the house, and rest myself lol.

I have been relaxing a little more and trying to just go with the flow of things instead of not getting so worked up over little tiny things. I have also reconnected with an old friend who i havn't seen in years and i LOVE her! she is another REAL MOM like me :P
Not a "perfect, organized fake mom who gets everything right the first time" kind of mom, but a "imperfect, unorganized, real mom who makes mistakes a few times before we learn the right way to do something" kind of mom like me :)

My husband and i have also made the choice that it is time to get heathy! We have been walking a few miles a week, and we hope to increase those miles soon, and maybe even start jogging them. We also bought a weight machine for strength training :) i love it so much! and as soon as we pay that off, i think we will get a little treadmill so that we can run or walk at night after the kids go to bed, so we wont have to squeeze in a run after dinner, after my husband gets home from work.. so even though i dont want to spend the money on one, i think it will be better over all if we had one.

My husband has taken a hold of his over all health as well, he had surgery on his sinuses, because we found out that he had a blocked sinus passage in his head that was constantly infected. And it turns out that it was an underlying contributor to a bunch of his health problems. Since the surgery he has not had any sinus infections, he has not had any asthma related issues, he has not needed any prednizone which he used to need to help to breath, and that would raise his sugars into the 400s for his diabetes  So since then is sugars have been in the normal range, and his A1C has dropped 4 points! He has been able to stop taking a bunch of meds! and his diabetes doctor gave him a goal of losing 20 more pounds by his next appointment (which is in 6 months) she will consider taking off another one or two meds form his everlasting long list! lol

My mother and i have also taken up the growing art of couponing! so i have been organizing coupons and reading about ways to organze them, and even teaching a few friends how to coupon too! its getting to be pretty fun! i might even start a once a week couponing group with some friends of mine!
now im sure none of us will be on an episode of Extreme Couponers anytime soon, but its still pretty fun when you see the numbers falling off the end of your receipt at the grocery store :)

So needless to say, all of these things have kept me very very busy. Not to mention the normal every day things i already do like running after my 15 month old, playing with my 8 year old when he gets out of school, and trying to keep the house from falling down :P
So blogging has been on the bottom of my to do list, and as a busy mom... i never finish a to do list lol
But from now on i will try and work harder on getting more time to blog :) :)
