It's been a while...

I went and got my stitches out on Tuesday and was informed I had a desmoid tumor which is just a bunch of fibrous tissue that can accumulate when there was trauma to the area like a bug bite or pimple. Since it was on my shin and I've never had a pimple there I think it must have been from a bug bite. I'm glad it wasn't anything worse. I also have a mild case of eczema. Joy.

Tonight I am teaching a mini-class at enrichment on budgeting. I've been working hard on it and I'm excited to see how it goes. Also, I am on a really big food storage kick right now and I'm really having fun with it. I found this blog about food storage and this is what drew me in. Watch the 10 min video she put up on Jan. 25th, I found it helpful and motivating. This is such a fun blog to look at and I was immediately drawn into it, it is so addicting.

I have consistently worked out for 5 days a week since the beginning of the year and my weight is stuck. I was seeing about a 1 pound weight loss every 10 days and now I have reached a plateau. I know we all have several weight plateaus and it means I just have to work extra hard to get over it.. but I'm still bummed out by it. Side note: I'm really enjoying my new treadmill.

Let see.. the kids are both doing well. Except that Jacob keeps hitting his head. He doesn't watch were he is going and will run into walls, car doors, fall down the last few stairs.. you name it. He has had two really bad hits in the last week that gave him big goose eggs on his forehead. They look awful and I have to keep explaining what happened to him, lest I be accused of child abuse or something. So far today he has run into a wall and hit the side of his head, let's see how the day progresses.

Bad news: the medical bills just keep coming and keep piling up. I find it very depressing.

Brent is the same old. He doesn't do much.
