Mrs Lonely

David is working night shift for the time being, and I'm finding myself extremely lonely at night. The longer the shift drags on, the lonelier I feel so I have to occupy my time. Sure, Camden is here, but our conversations consist of me naming an animal and asking him what the animal says and he replies with the sound. Then we repeat the cycle with the handful of animals he knows. Then he goes to bed at 8. Now, you would think with all this free time I would catch up on my school work; not so! Here are some of the other ways in which I occupy my time:

I love to snack. I love food. I believe that this is obvious when you see me :) I have always been an emotional eater. Since this does not fit in with my new Weight Watcher journey, I have to try other things to do instead of eating.

I have been shopping more in the past three weeks than I shopped all last year! I'm sure my husband would rather I eat then shop, but oh well. I could go all day without eating as long as I am shopping. I heart spending money. It makes me happy. Even if it's not for me. I spent an hour tonight looking for a visor for my husband! I just like to buy, but eventually the malls close, and I have to go home.

Yep, I'm a facebook addict. When Camden goes to bed and it's all quiet in the house, I stay on facebook just waiting on something interesting to happen. Sad, I know, but hey, at least I'm not out on the streets!

So, after Facebook land is sleeping, I usually tune to TV Land to watch old episodes of Roseanne as I doze off. I love that show! My favorite episode is when "Becky cut the cheese" but I haven't seen that one in a while.

The bad thing about Facebook and TV is that my ugly #1 hobby wants to creep into the mix. Luckily these days I'm making better snack choices. I usually grab an apple or a 100 cal pack of pocorn to curb my cravings. Tonight, I munched on a piece of fish. LOL Random, I know, but hey, better than digging into Camdens Reeses Easter Eggs I purchased today. Oh, crap! Why did I put that in my head????

Peace!

What a Week!

Yay for Spring Break! I've loved every single mintue of this week, and I hate that I have to go back to work in a few days, but that's life. Here's a little bit about what has happened this week:

  • Monday- We were very lazy! We didn't leave the house and we slept late. It was great! Camden and I played while Daddy slept. We stayed in our pj's all day. That's the life!
  • Tuesday- Super fun day with Jaime shopping at the outlets in Lebanon, TN. I bought Camden tons of clothes and a denim jacket for myself. I've been searching for one for a while, so I was glad to find one I liked. Of course, we had to have a weirdo shenaningan along the way. Some weirdo food court worker gave us a free soft pretzel and diet coke after he swiped my card but wasn't sure that it worked. Well, Jaime's was definitely free, but mine is questionable. I'm just praying that I don't have a $100 debit on my card for it since I didn't get a receipt. Only time will tell! Tuesday night we had weight watchers. I lost a pound this week making my total 13.8. I'm still a little frustrated with the slowness of my process, but I've got to stop comparing my results with everyone else. I guess I'm just a competitive person! I feel like I'm "losing" the competition! LOL
  • Wednesday- Also an interesting day with friends. Lora, Casey, Jill and I decided to do some Goodwill shopping which was interesting to say the least. I didn't find any treasures, but the three of them found a cute dress, brand new for around $5. We saw some great characters in the store and had plenty of laughs along the way.
  • Thursday- Best day of the week! David did not have to work Thursday night so we spent the whole day together, with Cam, and did some shopping in Huntsville. I was thrilled to find a pair of Sperry's for Camden for $18 at Belk! I'm so excited to see him in them with no socks and shorts ;) We had dinner at Casa Blanca and just had an all around great day together.
  • Friday- Another lazy day at home! I did some grocery shopping early while David and Camden played. I went to Publix and saved around $35 on my total bill and spent around $65. I also went to Walgreens and got 4/12 pack Diet Mountain Dews for $10! Woot Woot! When I got home, the boys were napping, so I piddled around the house. When the woke up, we played outside and rode the four wheeler. Camden LOVES outside! He cried so much when we camed back in. I tried a new Weight Watcher recipe for fish and chips. It was delish! I also made a Weight Watcher imitation of the Wendy's Frostie and um, hello! It was amazing and only 2 points per serving. Gotta love it!

I loved this week, and I'm going to enjoy this weekend. When we go back to school, we will be there for 10 weeks straight! Wish us luck!!!!!
