10 Years

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything."

My baby girl turned 10 on the 9th.  So she is no longer a baby, but I will always think of her that way.  You know when she was cute, didn't mouth off and would eat veggies????  LOL Ok she is still cute but she does get mouthy and refuses to eat veggies  :D  It is hard to believe that she used to spend most of her time either sleeping on my chest or in her swing!  She loved her swing and some days was the only way to keep her happy.  She was the first Grandchild on both sides and a miracle in so many ways.  She was the first girl to be born into my husband's bio-logical family in 200years and also she defied so many odds and was born a healthy girl after a high risk pregnancy and birth.  It still amazes me everything we went through and yet she survived. 

Today I took my darling girl and 2 of her friends to the theatre to see Beastly.  It is most definitely a pre-teen movie, it is cheesy and obvious, a modern day Beauty and the Beast story.  I must say I didn't hate it, I even enjoyed it for what it was.  Neil Patrick Harris was in it, as was Mary-Kate Olsen and they played great roles and did wonderful job with them too.  I had to laugh a few times.  As for the girls, they were starting the 'I have to go to the bathroom" but a simple '1 at a time' rule ended that quick.  I wasn't spending close to $100 for tickets and snacks for the girls to spend the entire thing in the washroom!

Monday I plan to have a Mommy/Daughter day, shopping for clothes and lunch.   I am quite looking forward to this.  It has been a long time since I have been confident enough to attempt this and also had the money to do it.  It will be a day of celebration for both me and her :)


My weight loss journey is still going, a little slow right now but with the winter blahs, I am happy to report that even though I wasn't active as I should and wasn't watching what I was eating all that closely, that I didn't gain!  I am still at 203 pounds, which is better than gaining!!  I will get back into my groove after March Break.  :)

So I will sign off for now.
Cheers
