First Day of Fifth Grade

Can't believe Seth is in fifth grade - he'll be a BOY SCOUT in February. Wow!

Cat + Ice Cream

Ernie loves Sonic ice cream.

OU Legends

Can't remember if I posted this or not - I still can't believe I saw all these guys at once!

Seth and Buddy Bradley

This was at the Blessing of the Backpacks @ church. They all got a cross keychain for their backpacks.

Completely Overwhelmed....

....and fall hasn't even officially begun. I am in trouble.

Busy

Things are about in full-swing around here. I started Handbell Choir practice - I like it! Now I don't have Thursday nights free, but oh well, I'll get over it. Cub Scouts start soon, too. Can't believe Seth'll be a Boy Scout in February. WOW.

I really need to start exercising in the morning so I can not only feel better, but just jump start the day, and the main goal, to lose some weight. I know what to do, I know how, I just don't do it. You know, if you're an alcoholic, you can stay completely away from alcohol. People that "use food" can't just quit! I know I use food to cheer myself up, as a reward, as a consolation, etc. And frankly, I just am SO busy most of the time I really don't think about what I'm eating, I'm just getting through the day.

I just don't have the patience to stress out over every calorie, and make all these handmade meals all the time. Seems like people that are thin are completely obsessed with working out and eating certain things. I just don't care that much - I'd like to have a real life, please!
