It's my birthday!

Today is my birthday. I am 32 years old. That is actually easier for me to say than the day I turned 30. That really depressed me, even though I never thought I would be a person that cares about my age. I have finally gotten over that....and realize that these are probably the best years of my life! haha

Since it is my birthday, I will share some good news that I never talk about on my blog. I have lost about 18 lbs. It has just been a combination of being very busy with kids, not eating out, and just trying to slowly change my eating habits. I have also cut out cokes....well at least keeping coke at home. I guess I started losing weight slowly when baby Z came. Then of course, very soon after that, it got really crazy with 2 more kids added. That is what broke our eating out habit for sure! haha Anyway, it hasn't been a specific diet or anything, and I haven't set any goals for myself....it has just come off slowly, and now that I am wearing clothes that I outgrew 2 years ago, I am very excited! I even had a stack of pants ready to get rid of right before we moved, and I tried them on, and was surprised when they fit me!

I am still having blogging issues. As I type this, my battery is about to die on my laptop..and I still can't get on blogger from my other computer. I really want to get back to posting more regularly, I miss blogging a lot, but I just can't seem to fit it in much these days.

I plan on telling yall about how I make the washing detergent. I actually have to make more up tomorrow....maybe I will take pictures as I do it. I was excited to get so many comments on that last post!

Today has been a good day. Clay had to work this evening, but he got up with the baby this morning so I could sleep later. He made me breakfast, and then took the kids to Dollar Tree to let them spend their own money on a gift for me. I just loved getting my treasures from them! They also made me a lot of cute pictures and love notes! I love being a mom!

The kids and I went out to eat at McDonald's for supper. I fed all 4 of us for just $7, and that included getting 2 apple pies! haha We rented Beverly Hills Chihuaha (I don't think I spelled that right). Anyway, baby is ready for me to rock him to sleep, so goodnight everyone!
