My mood while writing this blog: Happy

So Quentin got back around 9:45p.m. on Sunday night. I was so happy to see him he took my breath away. I'm so glad that he left because we grew closer and stronger as a couple. I found out my calling is and I'm willing and ready to take it HEAD ON.

Clarissa is doing wonderful- She was very happy that daddy came home and grew up and changed so much over the period of time that he was gone. She even pointed up to the picture of where her star is and said thats a constilation mom. I asked her what's a constilation (wondering if she knew) she simply stated that its a group of stars that make a picture. I was shocked that my little 3 year old could answer that question like a big girl. I asked her where she learned that and she said EVERYONE knows that lol. I also showed her were the little dipper is and I explained what it was she smiled and then said its a constilation. A tear came from my eye and I said yup your right.

Kimberly is a trouble maker- She so funny but gets into trouble everyday. She's a good listener but enjoys climbing on everything. She is now counting form 1-10 and is only using her diaper to poop which for 23 months is crazy. I wasn't even going to start potty training till she was 2 1/2 lol. I have a feeling she will be easy but right now I'm not even telling her when to go. She just goes or tells me mommy potty and starts to take off her diaper. She's also saying new words and pointing to pictures and telling me what they are. I love communicating with her.

ME- I'm very happy with my life I have lost a few friends that I can see now that were only causing me stress. Now that they are gone I'm very happy, possitive, and enjoy waking up. I'm putting away any extra money I get and saving it so that in a year from April I will put all that money to pay somthing off. I'm very exited to see how it works. I'm also choosing to only buy cloths for myself that are on clearence. I hate shopping but if I can save money I don't feel as bad. I'm also learning how to make things on the sewing machine. I'm giving myself and my husband a monthy budget of how much we can spend on certain things. Its hard but we are very serious about saving money.

My weight loss: When Quentin was gone my mother and I did a well needed deep cleaning on the house. I took 3 trips out to good will and each time my van was so full I couldn't fit the girls in it. We also hung pictures and made if feel like a home. I'm going to take pictures of some of the different/decorating things that we did. I'm very proud of all the work that got done that week and along with it I LOST WEIGHT!!! I lost 5lbs so i'm at a grand total of 11lbs lost so far this year. I'm not working out as much yet but hope to work that into my schedule SOON!!!
