Weighed myself last night for the first time in almost a year. Gained back 51 of the 60 pounds I lost since I've been off of the phentermine (for almost a year)! So discouraging since I haven't slacked on my exercise and diet (I do change up my exercise every 3 months so I don't get bored)!

Signed up for Zumba dance aerobics on Monday nights and Step Cardio on Thursday nights. Hopefully, along with my walking daily, 30 minutes of pilates daily and 30 minutes on the gazelle daily, I will start to lose some weight this time! I am soooo excited, though, because I LOVE to dance and I miss it...AND I convinced my sister to do it with me (she needs to lose more than me)! It'll be a blast!

Zumba kicked my booty Monday night! Holy crap...it was like jazzercise on SPEED! I'm proud of myself for lasting the entire hour, though and not giving up no matter how hard it was! I fully plan on going back next week!

Down 5.1 pounds since Thursday! (started back on the phentermine Friday, didn't want to but my dr. said it was either that or we'd have to discuss gastric bypass). I like to think that all the workouts I've been doing on the Wii have contributed, though!

Summer school is over. DD had a blast and loved it. Got a note home from her teacher on the last day that said she was a very well-behaved, wonderful, smart little girl and that she was more than ready for kindy! YEAH! I'm so proud of her! And she started swimming lessons this week and has done really well with listening, paying attention, and waiting/being patient! I guess the Vyvance really is working!

Softball game last night @ 6:15 in hot ass weather with 110 heat index....did not make for a very productive me! Needless to say we lost and to top it off my fortune cookie at dinner afterwards said "you need to work on your exercise routine"! OMG...I'm pretty sure that damn cookie just called me fat!

I got a new (to me) car!!!!! No more sweating out the heat with no A/C, no more crawling over back seats because the back hatch and one sliding door didn't work, no more having to turn vehicle off to idle or it'd overheat, no more tracking mileage to determine how much fuel I have left, no more $60 in fuel/week, no more jumpy transmission, no more oil leak, no more no defrost, no more doors falling off! Oh my gosh...it's nothing special but at least it's better than what I've had for the past 5 years!

AND my sister just found out she's pregnant!!!!! YAYAYAYAY! I'm so excited I can't even wait! I'm so happy for her and her fiance, and they couldn't be happier! God bless them!

Got a letter in the mail last week that our bankruptcy is finally OVER! What a HUGE relief! The bankruptcy helped so much but it's been super tight for the past three years (we filed a chapter 13 so we were making payments with any and all our extra money after paying bills). And even though we just bought a car and will have a payment, we won't have daycare anymore and the car payment is lower than what our bankruptcy payment was so we'll actually have some extra money!

Just because I am on here while working doesn't mean I can't multi task and get my work done. I work for 2 seperate departments and the job I do was previously done by 3 full time people. I have never received anything less than Exceeds Successful on a review and I've never had a problem getting my work done. My desk is clean and clear and I do my work as soon as I get it. So what's the beef if I scan confessions while at work? My boss doesn't care, why should anyone else!

My boss informed me that he'd be screwed if something ever happened to my position (new director, department being reorganized/downsize, state agency with budget crisis, blah blah blah). He asked me to make a policy manual for everything I do for him so that he'd know how to do something if I got canned. That was two weeks ago. He keeps asking me about the manual. I keep telling him I'm working on it. Truth is, I made one years ago...I'm just not telling anyone because I'm afraid once they know there's a manual they'll lay me off for sure!

So some gonzo spilled a shit-ton of rice on the floor in the main hallway yesterday and didn't bother even trying to pick it up or to call housekeeping to clean it up. It's STILL there this afternoon. Which means the night cleaning crew didn't clean it either. I check this afternoon and NO ONE has sent a request to housekeeping...WTF!? People have just been walking on it for TWO DAYS now and NO ONE noticed? Apparently I'm the only one around here who treats my work space like my home and pick up after myself! Sheesh! Like working with a bunch of freaking children!

New commissioner says we ARE reorganizing but no one will be losing their job. That's good news right? So why don't I believe it. Why am I suspicious? Damnit. Won't know for sure until the end of March.

Hehehehe...Boss AND office prankster are gone today, April Fool's here I come!

DH turns 30 this month. He wanted to have a family bowling night, which I planned. But his mom threw a fit because she always has a bday dinner for him and his sis (bdays in same week) and he didn't NEED two bday parties, and that not only would she not come to a bowling party but she would not have a dinner for him. He relented to keep her happy and decided just to do his mom's thing, no bowling (although I'm secretely planning on taking him bowling). His mom now is too booked up all this month to have his bday dinner (she's retired) so she's putting it with Easter dinner. She's such a bitch.

So DH...I was just being a big ole baby last week after the root canal that the temporary filling wasn't right and got infected huh? Well, you just screwed up when you let it slip that when you had that tooth pulled last week you had them use nitrus to put you out for it! At least I suffered through my pain AWAKE.

DH was off work yesterday and I asked him to take dd to daycare and pick up her prescription from the dr. office and get it filled and pick dd up from daycare (I had a dentist apt in the afternoon to finish my root canal). DH pitched a huge ass fit about having to run all my errands on his day off. Seriously? Had I not had a dentist appt I would have had to have done all of that plus go to the grocery store...all AFTER I got off work!

Yes, MIL was PISSED when we finally got to her house yesterday at 2:30 (her dinner wasn't until 5) because she though my family lunch was at 10:30 so we should have been at her house sooner (my fam. egg hunt at 10:30, lunch at 1). Dh told her to get over it and if she was going to be pissy to everyone then we'd just go on home! She moped and sulked all day but put on her fake smile and happy face anyway. I invied MIL/FIL to our house for dinner one night this week (they've been to our home 3 times in 2 years)...she said no, she'd rather stay at home. Thank.God!

Yes SIL, DH and I have known about your and dh's brother's dwi since it happened. We have continously told you that it's none of our business and that we're staying out of it and we're NOT telling your parents, we fell that's your brother's decision. Stop freaking calling US and threatening to go "tell mom and dad" if he doesn't. And stop trying to drag us into it by saying "mom and dad will be pissed when I tell them you knew about it and didn't tell"! It's not ours or your place to tattle. Your brother is an adult, lives on his own and pays his own way. It's HIS problem. Not ours.
