Got the workout bug!!!

Yep I caught it & its one bug I actually like! lol My youngest & I really have been hittin the workouts pretty hard. In one day we have done Hip Hip Abs fat blasting cardio, Ab Sculpt, Buns of Steel and went running. WOW! It started off really hard. The first night I did Hip Hop Abs, I thought omg I cannot do this. Its only 30 minutes but at 27 minutes I really felt like I had to puke..seriously. BUT I made it through and I am glad I did. The Ab Sculpt was pretty intense but I made it through that too. Now I just do it..no problems. :) And I have to laugh because #1 Buns of Steel is old and the hair..omg..too funny…#2 because Sabian thought it wouldnt be hard just because its old. HAHAHAHA can we say butt pain?! We both have some soreness going on. But its good!!! I am loving it! I can actually say I am looking forward to my meeting with teh scale tomorrow. :)

Ariel is still hanging in there. She is quite miserable but still happy because her fiancee is coming back on the 21st! :) He is hoping she has the baby before he has to go to Kentucky. He & I had a long talk on the phone last night. We are going to be good friends as mother in law & son in law. :) He really is a sweet guy. His mother..ehh I could live without ever speaking to her.

Sabian is doing well. She has a problem with one girl that won’t leave her alone but I talked to the counselor and so did she. Her grades are really good. She said even though she is in Pre-Ap now, some of the classes are still really easy. So all is well there.

have a great day all

good weekend

Hey all! Good morning!

So far its been a good weekend. Friday evening, I went over to my mom’s. My stepdad explained things to us a bit more. The doctors did not give him long..he wouldn’t tell us how long, just said it wasn’t good. But amazingly he is in excellent spirits. He said that he feels alot different about life. He wants us to just enjoy everyday…have fun..no negativity..no sadness. I tried not to cry,but my youngest started & I followed right along. But he believes in miracles….he said he doesnt feel like God is going to bring him home…but either way is a win for him. By the end of our talk, we had him laughing again. Thats all I want..is for him to be happy…no matter how long he is with us.

Saturday night,Ariel & I went to dinner with my parents. Sabian’s best friends birthday party was from 6pm-9pm and she was torn about which thing to do,but I told her to live her life and enjoy the party. We had so much fun just having dinner. My mom & stepdad are getting along like they never have before. We talked about all my issues at home. Something my stepdad said really hit him..”life is so short. You dont have to stay in a place that brings you nothing but misery.Live your life happily while you can.” It made me think about everything I have been thru in the last 15 years. The happy moments have been so few & far between that the memories are seriously faded. So I am making some changes in my life. No one knows how long they have to live. I want whats left of my life to mean something and be as happy as it can be. :)

HIP HOP ABS..omg…its harder than I thought. lol I love to dance,but he just takes it to a whole new level. I was sweating like a pig when it was finished. Its only 30 minutes long,but right at about 27 minutes I thought I was going to have to stop. But Sabian pushed me to keep going & I did. I finished!! The set of DVDs I bought comes with the complete workout system. It has a workout schedule so you know which workouts to do for the next month. Very nice! And it doesnt hurt that the instructor is HOT! lol So today when I get off work, I am right back at it..shaking my bootay! ;)

 AND when my mom took Ariel to the doctor last week, he told her she has about 2-3 weeks before Isabella comes! YEAHHHH! I promise I will show lots & lots of pics of her. :)

Well I guess thats it for now…have a great Sunday!

I dont know how to feel about today….

My good news came first…..HIP HOPS ABS CAME! I was so walking on cloud 9…ready to get home, cook dinner and then dance my bootay off.

Then my daughter calls….says she thinks her water is leaking. I’m at work so I call my mom and she agrees to take her to her OB. Everything was fine…still dilated to less than 1cm. So thats good. Mom bought her something to eat and took her back home.

Yesterday my mom tells me she & my stepdad are going to stay together…more good news BUT then tells me that my stepdad is sick. I ask her if it is serious..she says yes but doesnt want to talk about it over the phone. Today she tells me my stepdad has an inoperable brain stem tumor. OMG…while I was on the phone with my mom I could feel the lump coming up in my throat & the tears burning my eyes but i didnt cry until I hung up…….it was about that time my daughter called to ask me something. I didnt tell her why I was crying..just that we would talk about it later. 2 minutes later my mom calls back wanting to know why I upset my daughter..OH COME ON MOM…Sam has been my stepdad for 16 years…not to mention the fact that he has been my friend. She says dont cry..be strong…I am a strong person but you just dropped a bomb on me.  I love my stepdad and I will keep a stiff upper lip for his sake & in front on the family BUT I am upset..I can cry when I want.

So I dont know…its one of those days you wish you could rewrite…

Still waiting on Hip Hop Abs….

What the heck takes so long? Ok perhaps a little impatience on my end.  I realize it take time to get a package from Florida to my little ol town in Texas. *grins* I am just ready to try something new. Get some motivation..get my dance on. lol

Not much is going on around my house..my daughter has lost her mucus plug so its just a matter of time before we have Isabella in the world melting everyone’s hearts. :) I am so ready to be a grandma!

The man is trying to stop drinking,so I am just hanging in to see what happens. He has been really strange for days but not overbearing…just bordering on annoying.

Work is going ok…still havent found out about the new job just yet…we have 2 people out this week. So I assume with all that going on, they can’t afford for me not to be at work.

Everything is good in Sabian’s little teenager world. I even let her spend the night at a friends’ house on a school night last night. SHOCK! She went to see the Michael Jackson movies This Is It…she said it was awesome!

I think I have been around to everyone’s pages already today, so if you blogged since then, I may have time to get back around. We’ll see…HAVE AN AWESOME AFTERNOON/EVENING/NIGHT!
