I don't know where the hours seem to go. I'm not overly busy doing anything of importance, but yet finding the time to sit down in front of this little box and actually write seems so bothersome. I have been enjoying the sunshine and the outside world far to much, sleeping in far to late and trying to avoid anything that tastes good. The latter seems to be my only downfall, it's really hard to avoid such summer treats as ice cream and cotton candy at the fair, but I have managed to lose a whole 6 pounds this month. I could have probably eaten a whole bag of cotten candy at the fair and it wouldn't have done me in.
We left the house at 6 pm and after the first ride the Dman said "I'm not leaving til they cut this wrist band off!" He was pretty much telling the truth he rode every ride at the carnival at least twice, some of them more, and it was long after midnight before we got home. They had an awesome time, but they wore me out I bet I walked 12 miles that night!
This friday I am taking them to mom's for Wright days a big celebration they have there every year. They boys have gone since they were tiny and I'll come home friday night and they will stay til sunday. Hopefully Steve will be home this weekend, but I doubt it, seems like every time we can have a kid free run naked through the house and have living room sex weekend he ends up working, not to meantion that I'm getting old and living room sex just isn't all that great!
The following friday we are leaving to Grand Junction to see my grandparents! I am so excited to be going! I miss them something awful and wish that they were closer so that I could go whenever I wanted to.
I've been walking about 2 miles a day or I should say a night. I hate walking when it's hot and there are lots of people out and about to see me waddling around. I can't wait until this weight all comes off. In the time I started blogging I had gained 70 pounds! That is horrid and I am so ashamed of myself. I'm just glad I got out of that depressed little sit in front of the computer and do nothing stage I seemed to be in. I still have a long way to go, but at least I'm getting there. I'm tried of feeling sad and depressed and worthless all the damn time, and I'm the only one who can change that, all the pills in the world won't fix it you just have to get up and do it or the darkness closes in on you and you feel like giving up.
Ok lets see the boys are getting way to freaking big for their own good. D is only about a foot shorter than me, and I'm not exactly short either I am 5'9". We measured him the other day and he is a little over 4'9", and out growning clothes like you would not believe. He is wearing a size 14 jeans the size 12 look like those short pants women wear hitting him at midcalf. I wish they made clothes that actually fit children. The waist is way to loose or the legs are to long! NOthing every fits him properly. He has this thing where he starts looking like he's putting on weight and Steve told him about a month ago "you need to get out and play more bud your getting fat." Now he has grown about 3 inches and has that flat stomach again. I told his dad he was just jealous that he coudln't put on 10 pounds and make things get bigger!
The other 2 are doing well also, but it's late and I'm tried so I will have to save them for another day!

Messed up world!
I can't believe how crazy the world has gotten. Men killing their wives and children, seem to be the big focus lately. I don't see how your life can be that messed up that you have to kill someone over it. I just don't get it. Oh sure there have been times I've thought "Good lord if my husband gets any stupider I may hit him over the head!", but it's a passing thought I am never really going to harm him physically in anyway no matter how mad he has made me. There have been times when I have threatened the boys. "If you don't straighten up I am going to beat you to death." I don't mean those words and they know it. They know that I am not going to beat them at all much less to death. They are just words used to put emphasis on the fact that I have had enough of whatever they are doing and they better stop. I just don't understand it I guess, but more importantly I don't think I am as affected by all these news stories as I once was.
It's so common anymore for someone to go off half cocked and drowned 5 children in the bathtub, or kill their girlfriend/wife and their unborn child that I think I have become more numb to this kind of news. Oh sure I still feel sad, but it isn't the same kind of sad that it once was. I am bothered by that, it disturbs me that these kinds of things are so common I can have a passing feeling of "Oh that is awful" and go on about my day without giving it another thought. I think most of America feels the same.
I was watching Critical hour or one of those trauma center shows and a group of 3rd graders, the same age as my oldest, were taking a tour of ER. I can't remember what city they were in, but when the lady guiding the tour asked these 8 and 9 year old children "What kinds of things will get you to the trauma center?" all the kids raised their hands. She called on one child and his answered floored me "Getting shot", and 3/4 of the hands went down. It's an everyday thing where they come from, and no one was horrified by it or concerned. Things like that just happen all the time so it's almost as if they expect it, they have become numb to the number of shooting in their city. If you asked my boys their answers would differ greatly, they would have said "cracking your head open, breaking your arm, or getting sick on the weekend when the dr. office isn't open." All kids should be able to have those kinds of answers for why you go to the ER.
We should all be horrified that some pro wrestler killed his wife and son and then himself, we should be terrified that some kid went on a shooting spree in Virginia, that a police officer killed his girlfriend and unborn daughter and then left a traumatized 2 year old home alone. We should feel great sadness that a man killed his wife and 3 children and then attempted to attend their funeral. These things should shock us, make us feel something other than a brief sadness, but it's happening so much that we almost expect to read about it. I wish I knew how to be shocked and terrified by this stuff, and I don't want to except that this is just the way things are. I wish I knew how to change it to make it not acceptable, but I don't and that is maybe more scary than what is happening the fact that we can so easily over look this stuff.

Wow where does the time go?
I looked at the last post and it's been forever since I've written anything here. I just have not had anything to say I guess. I'm enjoying life outside this box to much to force myself to actually sit in front of it long enough to write a decent post. However today I have been thrown for a loop. The boys are at my mom's and Steve is out of town so it's just me all by my little ole self. I can't believe we are almost at the end of June already. This summer break is going to be short this year.
Really I have not been doing all that much, just spending time with my kids and Steve. He had surgery on his zamaroids, so Colton can now be in the same room with him and not have to worry about getting them! Well that really isn't the case. Once they got in there they found out something I have always known about my darling husband, he's a tight ass! No really the Dr. could only do minor work on him, because he has "a very narrow anal canal" and if they did to much surgery it would create to much scar tissure and he wouldn't function properly! So that has been the source of a lot of entertainment for me. My husband is water tight like a duck. HEEEHEEE! Ok it's only good natured teasing and he takes it very well, because he loves me.
What else? Lets see I wrecked his truck the last week of school, didn't really leave a mark on it, but I was turning and a little truck was pulling out behind a big jacked up truck and he didn't get into the lane of traffic he just stayed by the curb and I hit him, because well I didn't see him at all, and he didn't see me either. Who the hell drives in the gutter anyway? Stupid kid! I think it was more his fault than mine, but luckily there was little damage to either vehicle because we were both going so slow at the point of impact.
Other than that it's all be pretty unexciting around here. The diet is going crappy I've stalled at 61 lbs. I still have about 56 pounds to lose and I don't know if that is ever going to happen! Well I know it's not going to happen if I keep sitting here! I better get up and get busy!

21 days and counting
There are 21 school days left in this year. I always get excited for the school year to end. The boys start getting restless about the same time the days start getting longer, makes me hate that stupid time change and this last month is always the hardest. I noticed that it isn't just mine there are 300 kids at my school that are the same way.
Today Colton told me that the ladies in his office are not nearly as pretty as the ladies in my office. He loves the girls in our office. Last night D said something that I didn't really like (can't remember what it was probably about tatooes or pircings or growing his hair down to his butt). I told him when he's 18 and moves out he can do whatever he wants to which Colton replied "When I'm 22 I'm gonna have a girlfriend and I'm still coming home!" He says the funniest things sometimes.
He told his dad yesterday "I don't know if I can be by you with those zamaroids falling out your butt all over the place." Yes Steve has to have the zamaroids removed next week.
Well I'm tired and going to go make dinner.

Wow there are only 4 days until Steve gets home. If you asked me at the beginning of this journey if I missed him I would have given you a response much different than the one right now. When he first left I was like well a little time apart won't be that hard. I'm use to him being gone anyway, because he's gone a more than he is home.
It is true he is gone more than he is home, but he comes home. He might be gone 4 days and home 2 and then gone 6 more, but at least I get to see him for those 2 days. Over the past 2 months I have not had those 2 days and I miss them. I miss the way I lay my head in his lap and he twrils my hair in his fingers as we watch TV. I miss the way his foot always finds mine while we are sleeping. I miss the way he plays with the boys. I miss the sex oh boy do I miss that, but that's another type of entry and I don't post about that on the internet. I just plain miss him, and I'm ready for him to come home so I can be content with him coming and going all the time, because at least he is home some then.

Colton is funny!
Me: "So how many girlfriends do you have this week?"
Colton: "936, because I'm smooth like butter on warm toast."
I don't know where he comes up with some of the stuff he does, but it's funny. He makes me laugh.
At the bus stop he had this converstation with one of my students who is in 6th grade.
Girl: "Where is my hug?"
He jumps into her arms and gives her a big hug then says: "I'd kiss you but I only kiss the really pretty girls and your pretty, but not that pretty!"
Tody in the truck.
Colton: "When I get married I'll have a lot of stuff to do."
Me: "Really like what?"
Colton: "Mow the lawn, water the flowers, and take care of all the babies."
Me: "How many babies are you going to have?"
Colton: "6 or 12, I have a lot of love to give my babies so I can have a lot of them."
Me: "You better have a good job!"
Colton: "I'm going to be rich so I can stay home and take care of them everyday."
I'm not sure how he is going to get rich, but I hope that works out for him.

OH MY GOD!
I waited anxiously for the UPS truck to arrive, and I let out a deep sigh when he finally showed up with my package, a package that promised to give me all the pleasure I could handle! I signed the little board and quickly grabbed my treasures and ran inside. I tore the box open shivering at the thought of what was inside, and ripped through all the plastic wrapping, they wanted to be sure it was safe in it journey to me. It was smooth with just the right amount of curves and it fit perfectly into my hand. I thought it was perfect as I turned it around and around in my hands stroking it and admiring it's beauty. I couldn't wait to use it, oh god the batteries I thought were the batteries charged or would I have to wait to play with my new toy until they were able to power it up. Please let them be charged I prayed as I gently opened the little door, I slipped the batteries in. I closed my eyes hoping something would happen, and I hit the switch. OH yes, they were fully charged! I quickly began pressing buttons as it began doing different things, and I became more and more excited by my purchase. It is perfect and it cost way to much money and now I want all the accessories to go with it, and there are a lot of accessories. I am sure I could spend hours using it at a time, and I probably will. I've already used it several times just today! You want to see a picture of it? Well click here.

Tag no backs!
Well the lovely http://mtnbkaz.blogspot.com/>Adventure Chick has tagged me. I'm suppose to list 6 weird things about me... I don't think there is anything weird about me! I am a perfect example of normal, but I'll try to share some stuff that you might find weird?
1. I actually don't mind the smell of hockey. Now some of you are thinking what do you mean the smell of hockey... There are a lot of different smells to hockey, the ice when you walk into the rink you can smell the ice, it smells cold and clean and good. Then there are the locker rooms, and hockey locker rooms are not for the faint of heart especially when it's packed full of kids taking off skates after a game it would stink to most people, but to me it isn't really that bad, it's not quite as good as coach smelled the other night, but I will miss the smell of hockey when it's over for the season.
2. I prefer winter over summer. I would much rather have a cool 20 degree day to a hot 80 degree day anytime.
3. I have a lazy eye and it drifts over to the side of my head when I am really tired, and because of that I can focus each eye independently without closing the other one kind of like a flounder.
4. I do not like to be touched on my stomach by anyone, not even Steve, it is an instant turn off. I'm to aware of the fact that I am fat then, even after 10 years together I still hate it.
5. I don't do well with compliments. I get embarrass by them, because I don't really feel like I deserve them.
6. I don't have a crafty bone in my body. I can't even color inside the lines. I don't sew, knit, or any of that stuff, I took sewing in high school and I managed to pull a C in that class only because the teacher felt sorry for me. I don't scrapbook, well I have one for D's travel team this year, but it isn't that nifty scrapbooking people do. I have a photo album with a few pictures and all the tourney programs in it. Nothing neat or organized just stuffed in the book. I have all these ideas for neat projects, but I don't have the ability to do them...
So see I'm not all that weird really.

Pondering the meaning of life
"Hey that looked like hockey coach!" Cam says, referring to D's coach who is an adorable 22 year old kid, and by adorable I mean makes me wish I were 22 again.
"That wasn't him Cam that was a lady." I say wondering why he would even say it looked like him, because this was a blond older lady. I just shook my head in confusion.
"Maybe it was his wife." Cam states.
"He's not married Cameron." D says.
"Why not?" Cam says, and without waiting for a reply he says, "He could marry you mom."
I started laughing and said, "What about your dad?"
"He can find another girl." Cam says.
"Hockey coach?" I ask thinking he has changed his mind at the mention of his father.
"No dad can get him a new wife, and you can marry hockey coach." by this point my eyes are watering because I am laughing.
"I'm almost old enough to be his mother honey. I don't think your dad wants to find a new wife anyway."
"Your in your 30's and he's in his 20's it isn't that much mom, besides dad would probably like a new wife." Cam says nodding his head and you can see the wheels turning in there. "Yep you could ask him?"
"Ask dad if he wants a new wife?" I'm still laughing.
"No ask hockey coach if it bothers him you are in your 30's." I about had to pull the car over I couldn't see, I could hardly breath, and my side still hurts from laughing.
"I'm pretty sure it would bother me!" I say.
"Why? He plays hockey mom." and I guess to a 7 year old that is the only prerequisite I should have, my singles ad would read "Must play hockey, nothing else matters."
I think Cam misses his dad and is thinking he is never coming back anyway, so he might as well pick one out now at least that way he will have a choice in who it is.

Quickie!
Steve is in France.
In house hockey is officially over for the season.
Travel hockey only has one more tourney.
I've lost 52 lbs.

My mite parents are the best. I did a lot of the age rep stuff, because the girl who was suppose to do it didn't and my parents got me a jacket that Rocks!
The job is going great.

Long time!
Well It's been awhile. I've been to busy to read and to busy to write. Last weekend we had out state games and I was at the rink all weekend. The boys did awesome, David's team took the gold and Cam's team took the bronze. This weekend Cam got to had out the awards for the high school championship, and we watch the kids play. There were some amazing games of hockey played this weekend. We don't have hockey all weekend, and yet we still managed to spend half our weekend there. I think something must be wrong with us!
Colton thinks he might play next year... and then I'm really in trouble. I will have 10 practices a week to make it through. We'll manage one way or another, but it won't be fun, oh who am I trying to kid the boys love playing and I love watching them!
That's all I have. I'm tried and trying to get the house cleaned up this weekend. We go to Rapid next weekend and both boys play there.

One more month!
I got the job, so now that I am full time I have less time for anything else. I don't get off until 5 so the boys ride the bus to where I am, and it works out good. We leave from work and go straight to hockey Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
We had another busy week last week. On top of hockey we had Cam's school program Thursday night and then Friday our mite travel team started their tourney. So I was at the rink by 6 am today and yesterday. The tourney went awesome, except for one team who's coaches and parents shouldn't even be allowed in the game of hockey! The coach threw a fit every time he didn't get his way and the parents were rude and nasty to every one else. I am so glad we don't have coaches who treat our children the way that man treated his, they are 8 year old kids not NHL hockey players. In the 4 years we have played I have never seen a better example of poor sportsmanship. Then after the game the other coach for their team verbally attacked our kids making one of them cry he was so mean all because they lost a hockey game. I honestly wanted to stomp him into the ground. I don't care who you are you don't call an 8 year old child a "F-ing little bastard" I just can't believe that they allow either of them to coach. If I had a child on that team I would pull him off so darn fast. I am still shocked that grown men act that way. I am going to write a letter to their board and let them know exactly how they acted.
Our boys played great they had 2 wins, a tie, and one lose this weekend and tied for third place over all. They are awesome. When the man got irate they all gathered around the one he was yelling at protecting him. It was great to see them being a team off the ice as well as on the ice.
After the tourney today Cam had a game and scored a hat trick and an assist. Now we are getting ready to go back to the rink for David's in-house practice, and I'm gearing up to do another tourney next weekend for both boys. Then we go to on out of town one in March and we are done! Thankfully I have almost made it through another season.
We had another busy week last week. On top of hockey we had Cam's school program Thursday night and then Friday our mite travel team started their tourney. So I was at the rink by 6 am today and yesterday. The tourney went awesome, except for one team who's coaches and parents shouldn't even be allowed in the game of hockey! The coach threw a fit every time he didn't get his way and the parents were rude and nasty to every one else. I am so glad we don't have coaches who treat our children the way that man treated his, they are 8 year old kids not NHL hockey players. In the 4 years we have played I have never seen a better example of poor sportsmanship. Then after the game the other coach for their team verbally attacked our kids making one of them cry he was so mean all because they lost a hockey game. I honestly wanted to stomp him into the ground. I don't care who you are you don't call an 8 year old child a "F-ing little bastard" I just can't believe that they allow either of them to coach.

Ever feel like that?
I have just been spinning, and I can't wait until March is here and hockey is over! It will be so nice to not have to run to the rink every night and that god awful one of friday mornings is going to be the death of me! Not to meantion the total battle that is going on right now. We have a thing called state games here it is kind of like the olympics, but only teams from our state play. Well we have played on cross ice all season, and really it has worked out well for our kids that are on the travel team, but the kids that aren't have not really progressed as greatly as promised. Which doesn't effect me, because David is skating pretty well, and loves playing on full ice anyway. He knows icing and off sides and he likes have a position to play.
So the thing is these state games are more than likely going to be played on full ice, the kids that have never played full ice don't have a clue how different it is. So we were suppose to play the rest of the month on full ice to get them prepared for what the tourney would be like... well that didn't fly with some people. Now there is a huge battle going on worse than when they first introduced cross ice. There are now all these meeting to establish just how we need to go about all this and by the time we get it all figure out they will maybe have one chance to get on full ice. So everyone is upset about something and I'm so sick of hockey it's unreal!
The subbing job is about up, but I interviewed for the full time position. I don't know if I will get it, but I am hopeful. I really like the people over there and the kids are great! I should know soon.

2 Goals in 5 games
I got the call this morning that the boys had another shut out and they would be playing for 1st place at 11:30. I was amazed that was 3 shut outs in 4 games. That is awesome! So I got the other 2 ready and off we went to watch Cam play his hockey game today. I am back behind the bench doing the scoreboard when my pocket started viberating, get your minds on track here, my phone was in my pocket! I quickly grab the phone to hear "well they shut 'em out again!" I started jumping up and down and screaming and was extreamly overjoyed as everyone in the ice rink looked at me like I had lost my mind. I didn't care I was so excited I couldn't stand it I ran over to Cam grabbed him by his head and started shaking him shouting "they won Cameron they won." Cam's coach looked at rather funny so I slinked back to my spot behind the score board.
David called me after every game to let me know what happened and who made goals and who got assists and he gave me the play by play of every game... I think he missed me! They are on their way home and he just called wondering what time they had hockey tonight... they are still 3 hours away and hockey is a 6. I don't think they are going to make it, but as he was hanging up I heard him inform his dad that he needed to drive faster. I don't think he even likes playing hockey! I just can't wait for them to get home so I can wrap my arms around him and tell him that I am proud of him!

Stumbling
I am trying really hard to not call Steve again tonight, because I have called probably 5 times already. When he is gone for work I seldom call him. I like to know that he has arrived at his distination in one piece and is ok. I call him if there has been some exciting event around here to retell or something major has happened. He calls me once a night or every other night depending on how late he has worked. We are good with that we don't have to talk all the time.
Today however he has abducted my oldest child and taken him across the state. This is the very first time I have let D go off somewhere with his dad for more than a few hours at a time. I have tried in the past to let him be in charge of the boys, but it never works. I am their mother and I am suppose to be there. This is the first time I have missed a hockey game much less four with the possibility of a championship game.
I am antsy and I want to know what they are doing every second. I called them while they were driving there like 4 times. "Are you guys ok? How are the roads?" "Oh I just needed to tell you I forgot to pack D's toothbrush." "I was just getting worried about you guys are you getting close?" Then they called me when they got there and I have called them a number of times already... "Don't forget you have to be there 45 minutes before the game." "Oh you need to check and make sure both pair of socks are in his bag." "Hey hon did you grab both stick? He wanted his new stick." The very sad thing is I know the answer to every question before I even make the call. I packed D's stuff he has is home and away socks, jerseys, and both sticks. He has his warm-up and he has his shirt and tie. He has everything he needs with him except me! I am missing it and it drives me crazy, but it is also driving Cam crazy as well. He said to me "mom we never miss David's games!"
I just have to get through 2 days and then he will be home and I will be taking him on his next trip. I hope they do well at this one though. They were all really excited and ready to win! I hope they at least take 2nd place that would be awesome for them.
UPDATE:
They won their first game this morning with a shut out. WOOO HOOO I am proud of my boys! The score was 5 to 0!
UPDATE 2:
they just won their 2nd game 5 to 2! Only one more left today!
UPDATE 3:
My boys are awesome! AWESOME I tell you! They just called and they won their last game of the day with another shut out 7-0! Yes I am jumping up and down and cheer right now!

In the news today
Lets see where to start?
Steve's France trip got pushed back to March because they were to busy right now to send him, but since Christmas I have seem him about 3 days. I think him working out of town a lot is the glue that holds our marriage together as I am not an easy person to live with, but neither is he most days. We appreciate each other much more when we don't see each other everyday.
Basements dry and cleaned up, but the rest of my house is starting to look like a crack house it such a mess! My cleaning days have been reduced to Thursdays and Sat. the rest of the week things just pile up.
David goes to Jackson to play hockey this weekend. He said they are going to take first place up there and I hope they do! That would be so cool for them. Steve was suppose to take them, but he is in Utah this week and who knows if he will get screwed out of his vacation or not! I hope that he can take them. I would love to go and watch them play, but I can see them play here in Feb. and I'll take him on the March trip we go on. It would be a good weekend for Steve and David to spend some quality time together. Sometimes they get on each other nerves, probably because D is his mothers child, and the same things that irriate me irriate him as well.
I am still working. I love my job really. It is like I went from being a mom to 3 to a mom of 300, and just like at home some days are very trying. Over all it's worth it though.

A river runs through it!
Well new years day went surprisingly smooth. New Years eve however whole different story. I was awoken to "Hey mom the basement's full of water?" from the D man and Cam.
Me: "What?"
D: "Yeah you can wade in the basement mom, where's my trunks?" giggling the whole while!
Steve: "is it the washer?"
Me: full well knowing the hot water heater has held on as long as it can. I've only had to relight the damn thing 230 times in the last 2 months. "It the hot water heater."
Steve: "No it's got to be something else." because he doesn't want to admit I was right all along!
D: "Is that why it kept going off?"
Me: "Yep" as I get up to go check it out.
Sure enough you could wade in the basement. I had taken all the bedding, the new christmas cloths, and all the clothes to be washed down and they were neatly in their piles and instead of heading for the floor drain the water made its way right for my neatly stacked piles. Everything was sopping wet. Luckly I hadn't taken down the tree yet because everything under the stairs had to be taken out to dry. I had a box of baby blankents and all my "to fit into" clothes were under there and they all have to be washed now cause they are drinched and they were not small boxes we are talking TV sized boxes. I don't know what happened, but the stupid water heater must of leaked all night and kept filling up and leaking somemore. I have done most of the laundry. I am working on the towels we used to sop up water with and that is about 8 loads of towels!
Getting the new hot water heater was an adventure I didn't go on! Luckily I was smart enough to take the boys ice skating. Steve went and priced them and found one while we were at the rink. The getting it in the house was an adventure I wished I had missed. Steve got the dolly out, we were doing good until we got to the stairs. I managed to pull the whole box right off the dolly and down onto my knee, but I'm tough I pushed it right back up onto the dolly got it into the basement and then said my four letter words. I am sporting a bruise about the size of my fist just above my knee and it hurts.
Funny thing on the way home from skating.
D man "Colton was hitting on the girls again mom! He is so embarassing!"
Colton: "Well she was a hottie mom. I'm smooth I asked her on a date."
Me giggling uncontrolablely: "where are you taking her?"
Colton: "We already went I took her ice skating."
Cam: "She was a hottie, but she was to old for Colton!"
Boy I can't wait til they are teenagers!
Me: "What?"
D: "Yeah you can wade in the basement mom, where's my trunks?" giggling the whole while!
Steve: "is it the washer?"

2006 review
Well much like 2005 this year didn't offer much excitement, but then I am getting older and don't require much excitement anymore.
The good things about last year:
David is doing so much better in school that my stomach isn't in knots and my heart isn't breaking making him go off to school nearly as much as it had in the past.
I started working in the school so I have some of my own money and I am off when my babies are home!
The boys had a great christmas.
My granny is much better than she was over the summer.
I lost 30 pounds.
Bad things:
I lost my best friend Doc. That was and is still very hard. He is on the TV stand and I still talk to him most days.
The guinea pig incendent. (D stepped on him and killed him).
I only lost 30 pounds!
Things I am going to do this year:
Listen to more music. I didn't listen to music nearly enough last year and it makes me happy.
Go see my granny.
Go ice skating with the boys more!
Lost more weight!
I wouldn't really call them resolutions just plans. Plans change resolutions fail! Happy New Year!
