Just sitting here...

I'm sitting here at the kitchen table watching the kids play in the yard. Sam is trying to show Lily how to hit a baseball. He's not having much luck, but he appears to be very patient at the moment. Guess that's good...

Well, the crazy weekend is over! I survived. First of all, Hannah Montana was a trip. I've never seen so many little girls in one place so excited in all my life! They were all wearing Hannah stuff (including wigs) and they screamed all during the movie. It was hilarious! They even stood up and danced at the front of the theatre.

Saturday was crazy... Sam won his ball game, then he went with Collin and his mom from the game to Collin's birthday party. Meanwhile, I broke down and went to Kohl's to buy myself some fat pants. I was busting out of the ones I had. When I got home, I realized that the clerk had left a necklace that I bought out of the bag, so I convinced Brad to go with me back to Gastonia to get the necklace and have some dinner. We didn't get back home until late Saturday night.

Sunday we went to church then inhaled some lunch and changed clothes before going to pick up Carmen and Lucas for the circus. Had no trouble finding Bobcats Arena (thanks to Judy and her nice navigating lady-in-a-box). The circus itself was kind of boring but the biggest thing I want to share was how EXPENSIVE everything was. I told the kids I would buy them one thing. Well, they had these sno-cones in a plastic souvenir cup. They both wanted one of those. The kids were eating their sno-cones and the guy says "That will be 21 dollars." DO WHAT???? Yes, you read that right.... $21.00 for two sno-cones. Carmen bought Lucas a $12 bag of cotton candy! I could not believe how expensive it all was! The stinking programs were $15!! It is a good thing that the circus is a once-in-a-lifetime event. We sure won't be going back - not without a personal loan, anyways!

Last night Katie and Greg came over to eat supper and watch the super bowl. Brad had everything ready when I got home with the kids from the circus. Food was great...got everything cleaned up and settled down to watch some funny commercials and the doggone power went off!!! It stayed off for about 30-45 minutes, apparently a power line fell at the end of the road. It came back on just in time to see the last 4 minutes of the game.

After a weekend like this one has been, I barely feel like I had a moment to breathe. I was really sleepy this morning...had a hard time getting up. But you know, I guess I do actually feel better when I keep busy. I've caught myself being rather lazy lately. I think the Prozac was getting to me and making me more than a little complacent. I've not cleaned my house in several weeks and Brad has been doing all the laundry. So, I stopped taking the stuff about a week and a half ago and I can't believe the difference within the past couple days in my energy levels. I'm not constantly sleepy. I am due for my physical and I think I am going to try a new doctor. Several of my friends from school have been going to a women's care place in Forest City that spends a lot of time trying to get your hormones balanced, etc. I think I am going to give them a try. The only thing the women's clinic wants to do is medicate me, and I swear I don't know if that's the answer. Anyway, I am still searching for that miracle cure to make me skinny, happy, energetic and all the other things I know I can be. It's all deep down inside me screaming to get out! Rrrr!!! You just gotta laugh at me, don't ya?
