Everything is coming off so much slower now but I really did expect that. I need to change something up though so I can at least keep up the weight loss. My measurements have not changed a bit! I have 10 pounds left to go; my goal weight at the begging of this journey was 140 pounds. 10 pounds seems so close but I know it will be hard to lose the last 10 pounds but motivation and determination is still there so I am hoping by the end of this year at least!

Phone Conversation
Love when Bry calls me, it's always an interesting conversation and she has such a raspy voice it makes it even better.
Bry: Mom you remember I went to school today?
Me: Yea I dropped you off, remember?
Bry: Well we had a field trip today.
Me: OMG we forgot to pack you a sack lunch!
Bry: Yes!
Me: Did you get to eat? Did anyone share? Did anyone notice you had NO food?
Bry: Nope and now I am mad at you.
Me: I am SO sorry, eat now and get really full!
Bry: Bye.

Just things
Things I am looking forward to in no particular order:
P!NK concert
Thanksgiving dinner
Making it to 5K (3miles)
Seeing 140 pounds appear on my scale (hopefully prior to turkey dinner so I can drown in my mom’s mashed potatoes and gravy!)
Listening to Christmas music (I think it’s too early right now although I keep wanting to)
Using the rest of my vacation days although there is nothing planned on those days
Seeing my brother, Maya and Kyle (they better come to Texas!)
Cleaning out my car, boy is it a mess and I have ants…shhh don’t tell anyone!
The weekend

Locks of Love
I have been growing my hair long since May of 2008 so I could donate it to Locks of Love. It's been long enough for a while but I was trying to hold off until January just so I could have some lenghth left when I cut it. Well I was just OVER the long hair, tired of blowing it dry and tired of wearing in a bun so I made an appointment and chopped it off! I love short hair so I wasnt nervous at all, I was way more excited, excited for a new hairdo and to send my hair off to help a child in need because that is what it was all about. If you get on the website your heart just immediatly wants to help one of them and I am hoping my hair will put a smile on a child's face.

Longhorns Game # 1
Jonathan had his first football game. I was worried about him getting hurt, I am sure every mother is the same?! He actually played way more then I expected him to play and he did well...I think. I really dont know a whole bunch about football but he was excited although he did not get a sticker at the end of the game which he said he deserved one, poor guy. He did have an excellent catch and I am very proud of him. He is soaking in the tub as we speak!

Home school vs Regular school
Have you ever thought about homeschooling your children? I really haven’t for many reasons such as I have always had a full time job, never wanted to be a stay-at-home mom and can’t say I have the patience for being home all day long in the first place. I never would have thought any kids would actually want to be homeschooled either until I had three completely different children of my own.
Kaela is definitely not a candidate for homeschooling. She loves the social scene and right now school is that place for her. She loves going to school. I can’t remember a time when she has said she hated school. If there was no homework she would probably be happy going to school the rest of her life. Even though she has to report to school 2 hours early for Volleyball she still does not complain.
Then there is Bryanna who loves the social scene as well. She couldn’t wait to get back to seeing her friends after summer break. She however has a few mild learning disabilities and it really triggers fear in her when it comes to test taking and reading. She stayed home the other day because she wasn’t feeling well and I picked up all of her work so she could work on it during the day so she wouldn’t get behind. I got home and she said, “I was home schooled today and I liked it”. She would love to stay at home with her tangled matted hair and her dirty night gown shirt all day long doing her work at her leisure but she sure would miss her friends and school lunches!
Jonathan is a home body. I don’t want to say he hates school but he really does dislike going. He however is the only child who wants to get straight A’s and really beats himself up if he gets a lower grade. He complains daily and asks if it’s Saturday. He just would rather be at home 24 hours a day! If he had the choice he would be my one child that would jump on the idea of being home schooled and having a play date with a friends every now and then!
Each child is so completely different from the next and maybe homeschooling is or isn’t for your child, I just thought it was interesting thinking about my children and figuring out if it was for them or not. I am definitely not thinking of quitting my job so I can home school but it really got me thinking about how children feel about going to school verses being home schooled.
