Apologies

I apologize to my readers for my lack of posts.  I'm going through some personal issues that I can't talk about at this time.  When the time comes I will definitely let you in but for now, I will try and update this more and keep you in the "loop".

Thanks! :)

Wordless Wednesday-How Lila feels about waiting for mommy to get ready

Just a little snippet

As most of you know I am an army wife (OMG how do I do it??)  I was checking out my girl Ashley's blog and saw a post and decided to join in the fun.  I'm supposed to post a blog about myself so here goes:

My name is Crista and I became an army brat when I was 8 years old.  I moved from a very small town in Illinois to Ft. Polk, LA.  Yes, it was a huge culture change for me.  Growing up changed me a lot.  I met my future husband in Ft. Stewart, GA after swearing that I'd never get with a soldier(I decided that the military was for me because well, soldiers are hot!lol)  I became an army wife in 2001 at the ripe age of 21(I know its older than a "typical" army wife, wait til you see how old I was when I gave birth to my first!).  After moving around we decided to have a baby.  I had my first at...(sit down for this)...25!  Yes, 25 years old!  My daughter was born when I was 27 in Alaska.  We are now stationed in Ft. Hood and even though my parents drive me nuts I really love this place.

So if you want to join in the fun go over to militaryspouserollercoaster

And the wait is(finally) over!

After waiting months for my cooking gadgets, furniture, ect, it is finally going to get here!  My dear old husband decided to do a full DITY move.  As always does he ever listen to me?  So after paying the movers OVER, it will be here tomorrow.
(they claim to *ahem* say we have over 11,000 lbs of furniture, which I called BS on..we got up there with only 6,500 and didn't buy much extra...Alison movers in Alaska screwed us, don't use them)

On another note I have gained some weight and it sucks...why is it that I can eat something fattening and GAIN weight and eat better and lose a half a pound?  WTH???  I am trying to watch what I eat because I will NOT be 240 lbs ever again!

My last day of work is tomorrow which I am overjoyedhappy about.  I have found a few things to keep the kids occupied every day and getting Braden ready for *gulp* Kindergarten in the fall!!  Both kids are pretty smart, even Lila who is 2 knows more things than I have realized.  They both amaze me everyday! 

I have been neglecting my blogging which has affected my Entrecard droppings, I am going to blog more and drop more on fellow Entrecarders I just need to get settled after I get my computer and not use my husbands slow laptop!

Well I'm off for now will blog more later!

Chow!

Stuff on my mind

As an army wife I have tolerated a lot of things, I really have no choice, but when idiots steallose sensitive items it affects the other soldiers and their families.  I am not a whiner/complainer/ect but when I work and have to raise 2 kids on my own you get a bit on the edge so to speak. This has happened in other units of my husbands and maybe I'm being a bit bitchy when I strikeout steal when sometimes its just a misunderstanding or one of them forgets the item in the field or back in Iraq/Afghanistan but c'mon this has been 3 days already that my husband has been stuck in the motorpool...something is wrong here, am I right?

Well, anyway, off to another piece...

I am officially down 40 lbs and I feel great!

Lookie!

Its been a long journey from here

Now I know I still have a few more pounds to lose but I'm making progress, I'm in a large and a 16 so not too bad!

But I am off to bed so I can get myself and the kiddos up for work/daycare.  Have a great night and weekend everyone and I'll try to update more often!

The ultimate tummy tuck

So you checked out the infomercial of the body shaper, if not here ya go!



Why am I posting it you ask?  Because I decided to buy it and try it for myself.  I magically lost 3 inches!  It is really tight but it makes you stand taller and it gives you major confidence!  Don't believe the idiots that say its garbage, apparently they are getting large when they should have gotten x-large!

If you don't want to buy it offline you can find it at stores also, I got mine at H-E-B(love that store!)

Writers Workshop

Mama Kat has done it again for me, a topic that I actually like and will do it!  I chose:

5.) List 10 things you never knew until you were mom.

1. I never knew that toys bigger than the hole in the toilet can flush down(thank God the housing guys didn't charge me, they usually do)

2. I never thought how important showers and going to the bathroom was...and how privacy had vanished into thin air when it came to things like that.

3. You learn to not be shy about nudity, especially after giving birth to your firstborn.

4. Boobs are not play things.

5. I used to think about what I'm going to do on Friday and Saturday nights, I now wonder if I'll be able to watch SNL without falling asleep.

6. If its quiet in the other room, be worried.

7. Girls can be worse than boys at the age of 2...talk about divaness.

8. Days are too short to get anything done!

9. Sex or sleep is really a question?

10. "Mommm" sissy keeps touching/hitting/bothering me! (For the next oh, say, 5-10 minutes of this constant)
