I told you I sucked at blogging...

OK so my goal for this weekend was to get the nursery cleaned out and post a before pic. Well... I got the nursery cleaned out...but I forgot the before pic. =0( Let's just say it took me ALL day Sunday and it involved moving a fully decorated 6.5 foot Christmas tree out of the room through two rather small door ways and a LONG hallway to the garage. Where it has found a resting place until this November where I'll drag it into the living room still erected, lighted and decorated and save myself the hassles of trying to reach around, bend and stoop to decorate a tree at 8 months pregnant! Ah... yes, you could say I'm lazy. But hey.. the room was empty last December and taking it all down just seemed like such a chore. =0) But anyway, I did purchase the paint for the nursery (Yellow Begonia... whatever) put have yet to get started painting. This weekend was full of half a*s projects. Where you start something realize you missing something and can't finish it. Gotta love it.

(Nursery AFTER cleaning. Yes, it was MUCH worse than this. As you can see on the left, I've already started buying diapers. I have to think BFF Andrea for that fantastic idea!)

Ok, this is going to sound really cheesy BUT I am stoked! I bought one of those inflatable family pools at Wally World that is just big enough for me to get my Shamu size rear on a floatie and maybe get some color on this Elmer's Glue colored skin I have. I mean come on, I gotta try something and don't they say tanned fat looks better than ghastly white fat?!? Of course I haven't got to try it out yet because we had a small flood at our house on Sunday and the water had to be turned off for the majority of the day. I was not a happy camper! I may attempt to get it up today since it's supposed to be as hot as the sun's surface here in Good 'ol Tejas the next couple of days.

BTW, go on over to my SIL's blog to get the recipe to the most delicious French Silk Pie you've ever tasted! It is to die for... Christy knows she ate the last piece sitting in the driver's seat of her car with it still running in my driveway! As Alexa stood over here drooling and hoping she'd share!

Have a Blessed Day, Kim

Showing off a little bit...

Our Beautiful Bunch!

My two gorgeous children. I can't believe both my babies will be in High School this next school year, 17 yrs old and 14 yrs old. Just in time for us to start all over again. =0)

My beautiful neices. Yes, my sister and I have done it again and managed to have babies within a year or so of each other. 6 total grandkids by December for our parents! We're what I would offically call a large family.

Cutie Patootie, 4 months old

Kenz, 8 years old

KK, 13 yrs old

And my incredibly handsome nephews whom I miss so much that are in FL. Two of the sweetest, most polite boys you'll ever meet. Muah!!

Big Boy, 4 yrs old

Little Man, 3 yrs old

Ok, so I'm not a great blogger

I don't post often. Ok, so I've only posted once =0/ But I'm going to try to do much better. I guess my life just isn't that interesting but boy is it about to be! Well maybe busy is a better word than interesting? Anywho... my goal for this weekend is to take a picture of the spare (soon to be nursery) bedroom in it's current state. Which I must say is quite embarassing (just wait till you see the pictures and you'll see why) ever heard the saying Christmas in July? I figure since I'm starting my second trimester and between my wonderful family and friends I have accumulated quite a bit of stuff that needs to start to come together to form what will Baby Jacob's room. Not to mention since I discovered Thrifty Decor Chick's Blog (Thanks Sharon) I've been transformed into one man's trash is another man's treasure woman and have a few projects I need to tackle for the nursery. I figure I'd be held accountable if I put it out there for all to see. I'll also attempt to get the sono from 12 weeks up so y'all can see Baby Jacob. (Side Note: I would love to abbreviate names and stuff like all my fellow bloggers do except I think there is just something a little not right about using "BJ" for Baby Jacob. Or is that just my twisted mind? )



On a completely different subject, I have been craving Taco Bueno Bean Burritos daily for the past few weeks. And I must admit I have indulged myself on a few occasions. Well after yesterday, No Mas! I decided to check the nutritional information on the Internet. Mostly because my last craving hit at 3 am and I wanted to know what I'd be feasting on at such a late hour when I sent my husband out for a fix. To my dismay I determined my beloved simple bean burrito contained 604 CALORIES!!! Ruined my whole day... I'm one of those people that will never eat it again. I mean I haven't touched fettuccine Alfredo since I found out MANY years ago that Olive Garden's Fettuccine Alfredo had 97 grams of fat. Good thing Whataburger's whatachickn' is a slightly better option and my second most desirable food craving. =0)



But for now I ate too much trail mix and feel like I'm about to pass into diabetic coma so I'm going to find the nearest bathroom so when I do I'll land on dirty cold tile instead of dirty carpet.



Have a Blessed Day!
