SO Stepford Wife Barbie got the pot roast on the table, did the dishes, and even tuck the little ones in bed. While hubby reads the paper Stepford Wife Barbie decided to say the hell with laundry and take a moment for herself…don’t tell anyone!
Hubby and I didn’t play Racquet Ball tonight….Thank God! I needed the break more then I realized. I am sore and worn out. I did however deal with the insurance adjuster and the roofer today. We have to have a whole new flat roof put on. What a pain; especially with trying to see our home. I know this stress will past. I am handling things well.
We are having my husbands companies beach party on Saturday. We will shop on Firday for all the food and drinks. The company provides everything. There should be about 30 people there…that number includes kids. That is alot of sandwiches to provide. I am looking forward to it. It is always fun. PLUS…I have to get a new bathing suit. Mine is TOO BIG!!!! YEAH!!!!! That makes me feel great.
Well I need to turn back into Stepford Wife Barbie…hubby is calling! LOL
Have a great night!

Yeah that is me. I am sitting here reading everyones barbie blogs. Those who write in barbie lanuguage…my hats off to you. I think some of you should think about becoming writers.
So here is me….
I am 34 years old. Divorced and re-married. I have 4 kids from my 1st marriage. Hubbies kids live in the West are grown, have kids of his own, and don’t speak with us. Why? We don’t know. But anyways. I am a homemaker. I homeschool our 4 kids. The only family I have here in Fl is my mom…who has a boyfriend. (Dad passed on 3 years ago) My moms life is more intresting then mine. Sometimes I feel like I am raising her. She comes to me with all her relationship problems…including sexual. I know way too much about her love life. What else about my boring life…I crochet and do plastic canvas. I like to cook and garden. Hubby and I play ALOT of Racquet Ball. I belong to the Sons Of Italy Club. Hubby is 51 and runs a company here in Orlando. He will be retiring in 5 years at which time we will then be sailing around the world. We are trying to sell our home now so we can move onto a sailbaot. We would rather be putting money into a sailboat then a house.
I don’t drink at all. I have no tolarance for the stuff…I can get drunk off a wine cooler. Yes I know I am Italian, but for some reason I can’t drink. I have lived in FL since ‘96 but because of all the moving I did…it has been hard making friends. My best friend lives in RI. We grew up together and still talk every day.
I don’t usually swaer because of the kids. I am very responsible and all ways proper. I guess that has to do with my up bringing. Hubby and I love to read at night when the kids go to bed. We have a very passionate relationship and there is nothing laking that I can tell of. So this is my life. I like my life the way it is. Hubby and the kids keep my busy and happy. I think I will go watch that movie Stepford Wives now….

Been very busy up until now. 2 of the kids had dentist appts. this morning. So that was 2 hours there. Plus it is a 30 min drive there and back. We are now home and I am waiting on the insurance adjuster who is late. As if that is a surprise.
I have not eaten yet either. I don’t feel hungry, but I will eat something so that I am not “starving” all of a sudden. Hubby and I are not going to play Racquet Ball tonight. I was sore and tired after last nights games. So we decided to take a break tonight. Which I think is a great idea.
So…now I am going to eat something and relax for the rest of day. I have a roast to put in the crock pot at 2 pm.
I hope everyone is having a great day so far.
Loving Each Day!

I am wipped out tonight. Hubby and I played an hour of Racquet Ball. We played 4 games. Sadly he won 3 and I won 1. But…I got my exercise in. Well I guess you call it that. Exercise has always been that word that I have hated with great passion. How can something that is so much fun be called exercise? LOL
I did great on my eating. The only thing is I had dinner at 7:30 tonight. I don’t like to eat past 6 pm. I will see tomorrow how my system deal with this. Tomorrow is going to busy in the morning and into the earlly afternoon. 2 of the kids have dentist appts. so that means at least an hour and half there. I have the insurance injuster coming up at 12:30 pm for to look at the roof that was demanged in the storm. What a pain all that is.
So that is what I have going on tomorrow. Other then that…I am relaxing.
I hope everyone has a great evening!
Loving Each Day!

According to hubby I don’t need to take this oath I already do this…but I am taking it anyways…
I promise to uphold the Barbie ways which include whining when I feel like it, being bitchy on cue and knowing that NO MATTER WHAT or WHO (yeah even if she is a rich, plastic surgery induced, exercise obsessed, bubble head) comes across my path - that I am Barbie…..beautiful and worthy!!! Size 6 or 60, Porsche or Pinto, flat belly and good boobs or pannus and dried prunes - we are AWESOME!!

I just had a great lunch. It is even WW friendly. Not sure on the points for those of you who do WW. If you are doing Low Carb like me…this has less then 1 carb in in it. I tool a lettec leaf and placed a piece of roasted chicken breast on it with cheese. I then used a guacamole spread rather then mayo or mustard. It was really great! I had three of them! I am stuffed now! 
The kids enjoyed this also.

Yeah! I am back donw to 190 this morning after a 1 pound gain this weekend! By the end of this week I should be 188! I can’t wait to get out of the 190’s! That is my goal right now…to get out of the 190’s and to NEVER EVER see them again.
It is 7:30 am here. Hubby is at work and the kiddies are all still sleeping. I have been watching the sun come up here. It is going to be warm again today. As if that is any thing new! The lake out back is so clam it looks like a piece of glass. I really do love mornings. I miss being out on our sail boat. Soon enough we will be living on it and sailing around the world. That is another story.
Ok…so today I have two errands to run and that is it. I am going to the craft store today. I have a few projects for the kids. I use to teach Art when I lived in RI. I need to keep the kids busy. It is getting way too hot fo them to play outside in the afternoon. Plus…we have to get ready for home schooling at the end of August. I need to submitt my paper work to the county. Plus I need to put all my lessons together. The kids love helping me with this. They like being apart of the what they will be learning. It is a challange with 4 kids at 4 different grade levels. But so worth it in the end!
Ok…I am off to get my day started! I hope everyone has a great Monday!

I have put myself back on track today after eating what I should not for dinner last night. But…I own the choices that I made last night.
Hubby and I played Racquet Ball today…..6 games. It took us only 1hr and 50 mins! He won 3 and I won 3. We were way too tired to go for a tie braker. According to Sparkspeople…I burned around 1232 calories. If you don’t know what Sparkspeople check it out. You can set up your own page, with blogs, and track your fitness and eating there. I use it to track my fitness. If give me and idea on how I am doing.
I didn’t do too much other wise today. Went to Office Max. They have school supplies again for 1 cent and 10 cents. Got notebooks for 10 cents each. A very good buy!
I am feeling great today and I want this feeling to carry over into the week.
I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!
Loving Each Day!

Bare with me a minute as I want to lead into this article I think everyone should read and think about. (It does have to do with our thinking about lossing weight) Yesterday started out great. I was right no track. We played Racquet Ball and I came home had a great very low carb meal. We then went to his office so he could catch up a few things. I even helped him rearrrange things. I needed to go to Staples for a few things. We were both hunrgy (it was almost 6pm) We decided to go to the Road House to eat. I love eating here. I could restrain from the fried chicken tenders with mashpotatoes and dark gravy. Not a carb friendly meal. Well…the scale shows that I am up a pound today. I do have to say I didn’t eat all my meal….but I did have two of their huge butter rolls that they put on the table, and several penuts. It is the type of place that has penut shells all over the floor. We came home and watched a moive. Then we were off to bed. I got up this morning and was kicking myself for for cheating yesterday. Then I read an article on MSN How to Nix Negative Self-Talk. I didn’t actaully cheat yesterday I made the choice. I am not a bad person so I am not a cheater. I am not going to say I was bad yesterday for getting off track. I am proud of myself for making good choices earlly in the day and proud of myself for NOT cleaning my plate off. For this day forward I am going to change my attitude about how I see my eating. I am going to look at the postive.
I think everyone should read this article. I think it could be very helpful!
