We have really been a busy family lately. The days its not raining we have went fishing, ranger riding and play outside until those nasty buffalo gnats run us in. Caden also went with his preschool do the Museum of Discovery. Odd place and we will probably never go back but he enjoyed the slide and climbing area. It's more geared for older children who have the brains. We are country hicks who want dirt and trees to climb. But we rode with a good friend and had lots of good laughs. We had lunch at the infamous All Aboard restaurant. Yummy food but ate way too much.
On another note I have started reading a new book that a friend suggested, Desperate. It's a book about how us mommies have the persona about how life should be. Perfect cook, mommy, housekeeper, wife and etc. But in real life its just not possible. We thrive for it and then when we fail we give up on all of it. This book fits me to a T and I highly recommend it to all mommies and mommies to be. We can't do it all and be perfect and have perfect kids. We are sinners. As much as I want to be Proverbs 31 woman, I can't. I have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life and more so after the birth of my second son and believe me its an awful feeling. A feeling that I never want to feel again. And me not being able to accomplish everything like I think I should could easily send me back there. I definitely don't want to go back. This book is awesome and you know what?, there are other moms just like me!
This brings me on to my weight loss journey. By far this is the hardest thing ever beside being a mommy. I have lost a total of 18 pounds. I feel like maybe I should have lost more but I did say from the get go I want to lose it SLOW!! At least I am losing and not gaining. I go back to the Doc this week and hopefully get another fill.
Here are some pics from the past few weeks.
