Some days it seems like I work ALL THE TIME. I guess I do. I get four days off this month. Count them. 4. Nope I am not kidding. But considering that I like my job most of the time, I guess it works.
Last weekend, Ben and I took the kids out west. It was a fun trip, mostly. We tried to go hiking and all I heard was " I'm tired, I'm Bored, I want to go back to the van" , then when we go back to the van, they wanted to stay.
I got to work with a nursing student today. It was interesting. I remember when I was a student. The nursing field was so scary. It still is.

Jams, hats and weight loss
Now that the kids are in school, I have some spare time. I should be cleaning my house, but whats the fun in that. I made jam instead. I felt like I accomplished something. I bought peaches and strawberries and life was good. Oh and the jam turned out good too! It may even last until spring this time. Peaches and pears are in season so I may try canning them as well.
After seeing Diana's cute hat on her blog, I decided to make one of my own. After watching hours of video on how to crochet a hat, ( thank you YouTube), I am pretty sure I can make one with limited mistakes. All I need is a bigger crochet needle, so it will be off to Walmart for me!
I have also been looking at more quilting and scrub top patterns.
Now you are probably asking where I am getting all this extra energy. Well I have decided to lose weight, Again! My plan is this, I am allowed 2000 calories a day. I am not cutting out any foods, just restricting myself to 2000 calories. Oh and strength training at the gym. I am not up for competitive speed Yoga quite yet. I have switched to diet soda since doing this. It is hard to justify a 250 Pepsi when I only get 2000 calories of food!. I am writing down everything I eat which helps me realize where my calories are coming from and have been using a website I found www.livestrong.com/myplate. It is free and all it is doing is helping me count my calories. That and I can tell it how much I weigh and how much I want to lose each week and It tells me how many calories I can have each day. So far I have lost three pounds, and I started this last Monday. Wish me luck!
