Another move was made, unexpectedly but needed, we are still here in WA, but out in the Mountains, far from the hussle and bussle of the Interstate, City, Bases.
After a few things were finished up with A he has chosen not to come with us, even though it would be best for him, he is still nearby and we are still dealing with a few random loose ends.
C has settled into his new school nicely, J too is liking full day kinder, L is adjusting to being the only child for most of the day.
I'm enjoying the quite, the sun, the birds, not so much the boxes everywhere.....
Hubby seems to enjoy coming home, it is more of a drive for him, no more coming home for lunch, but he does mention he likes the trees and seclusion.
So thats where posting for April and most of May have gone.

Weigh in
Was not pretty!
It turns out my goal is 26lbs & Mike 51lbs.
We will save everyone our total now weights ok.
Atkins is going alright, we are both tired today, which is normal.
We aren't hungry, but not satisfied, again to be expected I'm guessing.
We did get lucky, the Phase 1 book we have has the 2 weeks menu planned out so I just had to shop for the recipes.

This will be a great year!
To start it off-
1. Mike & I both are following Atkins, 3 books are on the kitchen counter now, 20 something pages into the 1st already.
2. Mike & I will NOT charge anything. Our envelopes are going great we even have a tad left over for a date night but not for our snowball, we WILL fix this. No more debt! Hello SNOWBALL!
Personal- I want to write in here lots more, if not daily at least a few times a week. I WILL figure this out & fit it into my days/nights.
Work- To complete 52 projects= an item a week if not more.

Thanksgiving '10
We had a white Thanksgiving this year here in WA
Our snowman was nice & healthy :-)
We found a great sledding hill
& look how fancy we dressed for dinner
(yes we are missing Alex, we will get through this hard time of him making the choice to leave home, we will look back and forget the sadness & remember only the good times)

The weather has held up, it's been pretty enough for the kiddos to play in the water.
C is still at Nonnas learning to drive :) stick shift to boot.
A has hickies on his neck :( this boy is gonna stress me out.
Hubby is still home, water therapy is going well.

surgery 3
The last two days have been going alright.
J is taken it hard that daddy can't do anything & that he's sleeping more than usual. L is ok. The big boys are acting normal, I guess.
I feel it as a strain alittle more than usual.
Hubby is up & smoking & going to the bathroom, other than that he's in bed resting. Today he got a really bad migraine & then it turned into a fever of 100. I called it in but they said its normal since the spinal fully wore off & all the surgery meds are now out of his system. I kept him feed and hydrated and now he seems a bit better, still getting the sweats though.
Tomorrow the bandage comes off and I gotta be the one to remove it. I don't like doing these type things, I'm always worried of whats under them, stitches stuck to bandages, puss, infection, gooey gross stuff. Wish me luck.

surgery 2
So everything went smoothly, the actual work took a bit longer then estimated. Hubby got a spinal so he was actually awake for bits & pieces, he remembers mumbling here & there & even seeing his insides on the TV screen. (silly man of mine)
Doc told me all looked good, they sucked out the floating cartilage debree and buffed up the outer cartilage rim & even did some bone scrapping to get a ball on his hip, it was pretty flat & causing damage/friction.
Hubby was pretty out of it. it took awhile for him to get coherent and be able to sit and move into a wheel chair. so we could leave.
Getting meds was a whole nether story. They gave us a scrip so we could bring it to our hospital on base, the main pharmacy was closed, so we tried through the in house/er pharmacy, no go, so we had to go to Walgreens get the script in and wait, yes wait 45 more mins. By the time we got his meds it was actually 45 mins later then when he was due to take them.
We got home, hubby slept soundly, I was up here & there.

surgery
Today is hubby's surgery. We are getting ready now to go up to Seattle.
The 2 little ones will go to the sitter & the two big ones will have to stay home alone tonight.
It hasn't kicked in for me yet I guess, hubby isn't talking to much about it.
We shall see.
I'll update more later.

dinner & a movie
The man & I went to our favorite Restaurant tonight.
Adriatic Grill
This is our date night spot, none of our kids go or ever will go with us.
It's to nice & perfect just as is with the two of us.
Usually I do gf there as with at home but tonight I cheated, I just had to.
Our order consisted was
Grilled Capresse Skewers & Calamari
Garlic Topped Steak & Classic Margherita Pizza
Then we hit the movies, we saw Killers, it was cute & funny.
We laughed through most of it. It was nice to see a comedy this time around.

Today was....
....absolutely gorgeous out!
Hopefully this means the weather will be nice and summery for a few months (we can hope).
We had a picnic on the front lawn, played in the slip n slide for a bit, cleaned out the shed and driveway cubby thing.
L got her first touch of a sun burn on her left shoulder but she tanned up a bit too (gets that from daddy).
J had a blast, he really is the outdoor type (even if he is screaming his head off half the time).
C took his girlfriend to the movies, Clash of the Titans (great movie btw).
A is back on his feet, skating a little here & there, swears there's no pain anymore & he doesn't need a wrap or the removable cast (big though boy, huh).

cutting tv time
So you see we are addicted to TV, yes, we, all of us.
I know growing up I used it as my company and friend, being an only child may have been the reason.
My kids seem to have it on just because, maybe because I did when they were younger.
~C is the exception now. As a little one we didn't have cable so he'd watch movies, after movie after movie, but he couldn't sleep if it was on so we had to be careful there.
~A turns it on instantly when he wakes up, he has it on mute even as he's on the comp. or doing homework, if him & I do something together, it's watch a movie.
~J said to me today "but I love the TV mom", "this is why it needs to be cut down in time hun".
He likes to watch it, stare at it, talk to it, but then if it's not on something for him he goes crazy.
~L likes the TV, she asks for specific things to watch, shes still young enough to watch good educational shows.
Hubby is a whole nether story, I think he uses it as company & to zone us all out, but hes practically deaf & blind so its too loud & hes way to close to it. He can not fall asleep without it on & if he's trying to watch something on the couch then its a guarantee he'll fall asleep & miss it.
So our new weekday goal is no more than 2hrs M-F per person.
C should be fine
A needs to be more picky when he turns it on
J will learn to be more show specific
L just needs to pick and stick
Hubby pretty much needs to wait till after dinner & pick wisely
Me, well I'm good during the day, I just watch TV when everyone is asleep anyways (hehe)

date night
We were invited to ComedyUnderground in Tacoma last Friday night
by a few guys here that we also knew in Stewart.
How fun to have a date night.
It wasn't fun that we were the two not drunk.
I so don't miss those days-I guess I'm getting old.
There were a few comics in the lineup.
The head liner was Rick Pulido.
He was way to funny.
We got there early so we walked around a bit.
How pretty Old Tacoma is.
We agreed we'd need to go back to fully walk it
and get lunch someday.
There's lots of little shops
and restaurants in between all those business buildings.
