I am tired. Today at work we were pretty busy so the day went by quick and then after work the family and I went grocery shopping. Haven't been shopping at a commissary in forever so we went to Belton and shopped at the one there. Milk is only like $1.79!!!!! I couldn't believe it. Then we went to Sam's and got some stuff....then went to Wal Mart for the rest. I hate going to a bunch of different places, but hey you gotta do what ya gotta do. We didn't get home until almost 10 pm...none of us had eaten so the kids each ate a lunchable and went to bed. I ate a Lean Cuisine...easy and filling. Bill is eating some popcorn chicken.
Shae has her cheer clinic tomorrow. I get to sleep in about an hour so that is good. I hope that Bubba sleeps in. I also hope that Shae isn't hard to get up. That frustrates me so much.
I guess I am going to go ahead and go to bed. My eyes are burning. I took out my contacts....washed my face....got my pjs on. Now all I gotta do is get my rear up the stairs and lay down. :)
Heard on the radio and then saw on the internet that DJ AM died of an alleged drug over dose. So sad. He survived a plane crash and then died this way.....
Good night my peeps. xoxo

Little less stress
Made the decision not to sign Shae up for fall softball. Reason being....during the week she and Aidan may have practices on the same night which would mean either 1) I drop her off at practice and leave her there....which I would hate because I like to watch her practices or 2) drop Bill and Aidan off at Aidan's practice. Then their games are on the weekend....Aidan's in Johnson County and Shae's are a different places. I really want her to play, but originally she was only going to do dance in the fall so Aidan would have this season to himself. He didn't play anything this summer and got dragged to all of Shae's softball games. When we signed him up for football he said "Now Shae gets to come to all of my games." LOL!
Today at work I was trying to be creative and make certificates and such for my work for Back to School night. We have the Adobe Suite CS4. I'm taking training on how to use the different programs, but with so much time between classes I tend to forget some of the things I've learned because I don't use it everyday at work.
My parents are FINALLY moving into their "new" house this week. It was my Grandma Obermeyer's house. Mom and Dad got new carpet, wood floors, bedroom furniture, curtains, redid one bathroom. It looks so much better and I am so happy for them. The house they lived in was the one me and my sisters/brother grew up in and it was getting run down.
I go next week for another fill in my Lapband. I am excited. Of course I don't care for the huge needle, but since it doesn't hurt I can live with that. There are days where I am still hungry after I eat, but I resist temptation. Why couldn't I do that before?? Other than not being able to eat raw vegetable at the moment, the hardest thing is not being able to have a drink with my meal. I then have to wait for about 45 minutes after my meal to have a drink. That is when I seem the thirstiest. Probably all the salt in the meals.
I miss my best friend. She lives in South Carolina and has two WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL kids. They have Angelman Syndrome which I had never heard of until her son, Chandler, was born. I met them when I went to visit last year, and Chandler and Breana made me laugh so much. They have the biggest grins and they know how to make you love them the instant you meet them. I can't wait to see them again. If you get a moment look up Angelman Syndrome. She is a single parent and I know that she is one of the best mom's I know. When Carrie and I get together it's like we're never apart...probably because we text or e-mail almost everyday!!!! :)
Well, Big Brother is on tonight and I need to get my "meal" in before it gets too late. Hope everyone who reads this has a good week. Peace my peoples.

And the stressing out is going to begin.....
Ok, every year before school starts Bill and I say that we are not going to overbook ourselves.....or our kids. Aidan is getting ready to start flag football, Shae is getting ready to start dance for the year, then fall softball is going to start soon and I'm not sure if I should sign Shae up or not. She loved playing this summer and I want her to keep up with it. Dance could sooo help her when it comes to middle school or high school if she wants to be a cheerleader or on dance team. Aidan of course hasn't played football before so this will be new to him. If he does something wrong he wants to give up. I do not want to force him to do something, but I know that if he does this he will love it. He'll be with boys his own age so he'll know them from school.
On top of this, I have Dr appts every couple of weeks right now, then it'll be monthly, then spread out from there. Then Bill's got appts for his eyes and such. I know it is sooo not his fault that he can't drive and he really wishes he could. There are times though that I wish I was in the passenger seat. I get so tired of driving sometimes and because I am the only adult in the house that can I don't really have a choice.
So, I have to find out when practices, games and appts are so that I can get them into my calendar. I feel so unorganized!!!!! I hate feeling like this. I can't sleep because I lay there thinking "ok, i have to do....tomorrow." I am a note person. I make notes for everything. When my mom comes to visit, I make a list for her to make sure she doesn't forget anything. When we go home to visit, I make a list for each of us so we don't forget anything....even for whatever pet we are taking with us!!!!! It's a sickness!!! LOL!!!!
Well, not a whole lot else is going on. I'm trying to remain calm and not grab my calendar. :)

Got me thinking.....
Shelly got me thinking.....she said it seems like I'm holding back in my writing. Well, yeah, I probably am. There are some things that I don't want the whole world to know, but I do get that stuff out cuz I write in my journal all the time. So, I was thinking, what am I not really getting out? LOL....that is a loaded question.
This past week has been pretty stressful in the Murphy household. My kids had their first week of school and my daughter seems to be getting hormonal. Ugh...so not ready to deal with that. She is so emotional...like me, mouthy....like me? LOL. She is 9 (and a 1/2 as she likes to remind me) and there are days that I honestly would not be suprised if she ended up with soap in her mouth more than once. She doesn't curse, but she has said some words that I do not approve of. We have a neighbor whose daughter is a huge bully and Shae finally stood up for herself. Anyway, the bully's mom has made comments about Shae saying "Crap" and Bill and I both said "I'd rather she said that than sh*t or f*ck." My daughter is not perfect but she doesn't purposely hurt people's feelings either. This bully has asked Shae to go to a swim meet with her to watch another of their friends swim and then has the balls to tell Shae that she can't sit with them or play with them. She does this to Shae at the pool too. Bill heard her one day and was like "Oh HELL no!" From that day on Shae hasn't been able to play with that girl. She and the other little girl are BFFLs (Best Friends for Life....Trollz say that! LOL!). I think this other girls mom finally realized that no one wants to play with her daughter. She took them out of our public school which is an AWESOME school and put them in a Catholic school. This girl is a tom boy so it is so funny to see her in her jumper. This mom actually came to my house one day because Bubba smacked her on the butt....they were playing basketball and Bubba gave her a "good game"...LOL!!!! We had to tell Bubba that he can't go around doing that because not everyone gets it. :)
Bill made a roast in the crockpot today and it was SOOOOOOOO good. The meat was so moist that it wasn't hard for me to eat. The only thing I do hate is that I have to concentrate on protein first...veggies and other stuff etc last. I LOVE VEGETABLES and I would usually eat those first. I can't wait until I can eat salad again. Actually I just wanna eat broccoli. I guess I could eat it steamed...love it that way too.
Well, I'm watching BB now and I don't have my laptop charger near by. I promise to write more...and not hold back....some day soon. :) Thank you Shelly for getting me to think.

Big step today
Today my 9 year old daughter asked me if she could ride her bike to school with her best friend. Now this doesn't seem too bad right?? Well, I'm one of those parents who gets online to see how many sex offenders live close to us. We only live maybe 10 blocks from the school and I drive by there on my way to work, so I can check on her, but it was still hard for me to say yes.
This is the 2nd day after my fill. I haven't really felt any different, but I'm guessing after I start to eat "regular" food that I will feel the difference. I know some people think it was a drastic measure for me to take, but I don't have the will power to do it on my own. That actually makes it sound like I took the "easy" way out....if you call surgery easy.
My son informed me to day that he really likes his teacher and that he and his "best buds" played Transformers during recess. I am so glad that he is back in school because during the summer he has 1 boy that lives near us that he can play with. At school he has all of his "guy" friends to play with.
I am feeling antsy tonight. I feel the need to write...to actually put pen to paper. It calms me. I think I probably have 2 or 3 journals which I write in at anytime. I have to have paper near me at all times. My all time dream is to write a book. My best friend, Carrie, said I should because my letters to her are so entertaining. LOL!!!! I don't know about that.
Well, I am guessing I should quit boring those who actually read this......so later ya'll.

My Journey
Five weeks ago today I had my lapband surgery. People have said "you don't look like you need it", "you can do it without surgery", etc. Truthfully...yes, I did need it and obviously I couldn't do it without surgery. I remember being weighed in middle school for something and the scale said 150 lbs! That was larger than any of my friends. And throughout the years I've just gotten heavier and heavier....two kids later, here I am.
Today I got my first fill. I'm having to play it safe with the eating. Today is liquids, tomorrow protein shakes, and the next day mushy food. Not much fun, but so worth it. My goal is to see that scale back down to 150. :)
