My life has taken quite a few twists and turns in the last 6 months... From losing our duplex, getting rid of everything to move in with my mom... to John finally getting rehired, using our tax return to put a down payment on a mobile home and having to start back at square one with everything house related. I'm taking a few sessions off from school to focus on getting my house settled and in working order... and of course to get my designing business back on track.
My 2 older boys are doing great in school. Corgen is waiting for the interviews for the gifted & talented to start. It amazes me how fast he soaks up information. He's currently reading "Diary of a Whimpy Kid" and plans on starting the Harry Potter series next. His 1st grade teacher promises to test his reading level until he is ready to stop when they do end of year assessments. Damek finally got into speech therapy and it has made a difference already. He's also proud to report that he is learning how to add numbers together now... and very excited that he's learning it younger than Corgen did cause he's only in pre-k (Corgen started school with kindergarten). Merrick is doing good too... he just turned 18 months. Kinda wishing he would start talking more... instead of screaming for everything he wants, but it will come with time.He's cutting one of his canine teeth right now so he's grumpy and I really think he's hit the "terrible twos" stage. A few days ago he threw his first real temper tantrum... threw himself down on the floor when daddy said the peanut m&ms were gone and started rolling across the floor while screaming. It was funny, but annoying.
I think the biggest change I've made is that I am now a Vegan. Yep that's right... no meat, no dairy, no eggs... no processed crap or white sugar either. Yes it's a HUGE change from what i've been eating all my life, but i'm tired of looking and feeling the way that I do... so I needed to make a drastic change. Getting alot of crap from people at work about this. Guess I'll just have to deal with it. I'm already getting pretty used to just tuning them out. I feel really good... well minus the sleep deprivation thing (but that's due to work schedule and boys' school schedule, not my diet). I've already lost 4.4 lbs since I cut out meat & dairy, so I'm well on my way to being a "skinny bitch" <-- great book by the way.
Ok, enough for one post. I'll be updated the look of my blog this week (i hope). It'll be a preview of a kit due to come out atr the end of April.
