Damn my foot

So, stupid me, about 3 weeks ago I attemped exercising. It wasnt just exercising, but exercising with no shoes on. Jogging nonetheless, and 3 weeks later i'm still in pain.  Why did I do that?? Yesterday i had an xray done and today I find out I have a possible heel fracture & should keep the weight off of it with crutches. Way to go, Ame! Orthopaedist appointment is Friday morning.  Next weekend I am the matron of honor in my sister's wedding and for my dress to not drag on the floor, i need a 3 inch heel. oh, fun, right??

Other stuff going on: We are waiting for Luke's mom to get the court filing for full custody. In the meantime Kevin and Luke are nervous. Hell, me too, but it doesn't directly involve me, so I am just nervous for them being nervous & I HATE confrontation!

Baseball tryouts for Luke are this weekend - yay! I'm looking forward to watching him play. I am looking forward to watching the Phillies this year too! We gotta get some Washington National tickets too, since Jayson Werth (Luke's favorite player) was traded to them.

I am due to begin round 3 of HCG protocol in a week to drop these last 20 pounds. What a challenge weight loss has been for me once I had Payton and hit the big 3-0. It has really sucked. I've become someone who can not eat sugar/carbs without feeling terrible and gaining weight. HCG protocol is tough, but it works. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

So here we go

I'm new to blogging but not new to writing. I am in the process of writing a book. I'll get to that. Lets talk current news. I am mom to 3 year old Payton and 11 year old Luke. Luke is my stepson, but will hopefully be with us full time within 6-9 months. Papers were filed 2 weeks ago. yay! His mom is, and always has been, a PIA and a horrible mother. I dont even like to classify her as a mother. She's been deemed a pathological liar and she's a poor excuse for a parent, but Luke is delightful nonetheless. He's a good boy - has some fears and sensitivity due to his situation but we pray that getting 100% custody (over the 50% we have now) will make that much better. Luke's in 5th grade, moving on to middle school next year. I'm just not ready for that transition. I've been in his life since age 4 and he's grown so much. I am thrilled that I've been able to share his life. I love him like my own.  Ain't he handsome? That's our crazy cat, Shorty Doobenstein.

So, my daughter.....oh that wonderful spirit, that lively beautiful little girl. There are no words to describe how my heart feels when she walks into the room. There really isn't. You moms know how it feels. It's a blessing and something I cherish. She's a great little girl. We just weened off of binkies on her 3rd birthday & I'm relieved it was so easy. She's starting preschool in the fall and is obsessed with Elmo, Barney, Mickey Mouse & Chuck E Cheese!

Yes, she's cute- i know :)

I'm married to a great man, Kevin. He's polar opposite of me in some things, but it works out. He's lax, I'm routined. He works shift work, I work 730-4 M-F. He is sloppy, I'm retentive. He's big and muscular, me...not so much. We do both enjoy being together, being with our kids, seeing movies, eating out & being together. I've known him for 13 years but we've been married for only 5 (on 4/8/2011).

So that's me, and these are my fantastic kids.

Family is #1. We strive to give our kids everything that we can; the things we missed out on & the things we were given that helped mold us to be who we are today. We work hard to do so and love being able to go places and have fun. We are very blessed.

Aside from that, I am Vice President on Luke's school PTA, I am heavily involved in volunteer activites, go to church whenever I can, love to sleep & love these tv shows: Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Mike and Molly, Friends, House, Modern Family, King of Queens & The Cosby Show.

I am a happy person, I give my all, and my heart is always in the right place. Life is GOOD :)
