What a difference a month makes!!











I can't get over the difference a month makes in the weather! I have posted some pictures here that were taken exactly one month apart. We go from over a foot of snow and 3 foot snow drifts to fun in the sun!
In the snow pictures, Adam had to shovel out a path in the snow so that Cori could enjoy playing in it. The drifts were so high that the poor girl couldn't walk in the snow! The next pictures (sunny) were taken a month later. Cori is playing on her new play place after Adam put it together. We were so fortunate that Cori's preschool GAVE it to us. Oh to be the teacher's pet!
A year ago, we were excited to have a tiny little slide for Cori to play on. Now, she has grown so much that she is climbing and jumping like a monkey and needed a playset that was more challenging. She is growing so fast!!

A blog about me

This post will be all about Mommy, er, i mean Bridget. Identity crisis there for a second! I quit smoking. YAY me! Three weeks now. It is exciting. I just wish Adam would quit with me. I have been trying to figure out how to approach getting him to quit. I thought about giving him crap that a girl could so something he couldn't but i don't want to make him mad either.

i am going to lose 100 pounds. Ohh ho ho you say, A HUNDRED pounds??!! Yep. I have a game plan in place and right now the hardest part will be finding the time to walk. I can't take Cori with me, she is too distracting. I need total concentration to get through the physical activity part of this project. I have to get Adam on board with this as well. The pantry around here is going to be bare of bad for you snacks. I will be cooking ground turkey, fish and chicken. There will be brown rice and wheat pasta. Sugary snacks will be replaced with healthy ones. I don't want any crying whining or complaining.

Call it a midlife crisis, call it an awakening, call it whatever you want but i am getting myself and this family on track for health and happiness. Period, end of discussion.
