Are you There GOD? It's me CJ

I LOVED Judy Blume books growing in Junior High! I think I read almost ALL OF THEM! I am also a fan of hers on Facebook. She really started me into reading. I never read the Babysitter's club( maybe a couple) or Nancy Drew, I read Judy Blume books, Superfudge, etc.. Anyways, over at Mandey's Blog, she is doing a picture/post challenge to take a self portrait and tell a little bit about myself. Here's me.

I like the profile shot. My face head on is too ROUND! I dislike my round face. I would love some Cheekbones. This was the reason the modeling agents/schools told me growing up when I was trying to be a model. I didn't look different enough. I was TOO commerical for Runway. More like magazines, print ads, etc.. Oh well for that.

So this winter/spring, I'm on a misson to get fit! I want to get into my Seven jeans and not feel like my thighs will break the seams. I want to do more fun things with my kids. They are so awesome.

Obsessing over:


Wanting an ipad? LOL!! oh and Parenthood(love that show)


Thinking about:


What can I do more to hurry up and get out of debt faster! I can't wait to be DEBT FREEE~!!!

Anticipating:


Getting our Tax Refund in a couple of weeks and my bonus at work. We plan to use this money to get my car fixed finally and to catch up on bills!

Listening to:

Pandora on my phone and an Old India Aria(this morning on the way to work)

Eating:


My lean cuisine for lunch and drinking my water.

Wishing:

I was traveling again abroad with my kids this time, Or taking them anywhere! Fun times! There's this great Animal Wildlife zoo thing North of San Diego I want to take them too! Amazing!

Strep Throat

Poor little Chase has strep throat. His brother, nothing yet. I stayed home yesterday and my mom is at my house now. He also has a cold on top of the strep throat, but his fever is not TOO high and he does play. He seemed to miss playing with his brother. They had a good time once he got home from school.

I love that my mom can come over when needed. Good that.(as they would say in the book i'm reading called The Maze Runner). :)

So I'm back at work and really tired for some reason. We have a 1st birthday party to go to on Saturday. Other than that, nothing else going on really this weekend. Tomorrow is Friday! Who hoo!

That's all...

Chase and Potty Training

Why can't Chase do it? Preston does, many kids in his classroom do?
Mommy does it? Mommy's shown Chase how it's done. Daddy does it, but he hasn't shown him like Mommy has. We talk about it where we should poop. Preston tells him where to poop! Chase tells me his tummy hurts. I ask Chase, "Do you need to go poo poo?" Chase says no, but 2-5 minutes later after I say you DO NOT go Poop in underwear or pull up, but in toilet, like Preston, Daddy and Mommy, but NOOOOOOOO he does it any way.

What do I do? How can he learn faster? When will it click? We keep ruining undewear, its ridiculous!! They ususally aren't this far apart on learning anything new from each other(does this makes sense)?

The bad thing is, we are almost always "OUT" when he goes... So I can't just run him to the toilet and he HARDLY EVER goes at School.

Chase, sweetie, please please, figure it out soon.

Oh yea and then we'll work on keeping you in your bed and not waking up briefly twice a night.

Love you much,

Mommmy aka CJ

New Hair Conditioner?!

Who would have known that my hair would work so well with :
Pantene (Curly) Dry to Moisturized Conditioner would be the best THING EVER.

OMG! I put this conditioner own and combed through my curls like it was nothing!! Unbelievable! I've been trying all kinds of products out to moisturize my natural hair, but most of the time it was sooo tangled! Anyways, it even made my curls not so frizzy and I almost wore it curly this week, but then I decided to go ahead and straighten it. Maybe next week!

Now, I just need to go purchase their Deep Conditioning Treatment! I love you Pantene!! See I didn't have to use your "Relaxed and Natural" line of products! ;)

So Far So Good!

I just came back from getting my crown on from the dentist and she asked me what I did differently today to my face and I was like, "ummmmm, I'm wearing my Mary Kay Creme to Powder foundation" She was like that looks amazing!(okay, maybe she said "really good"). Then she asked me if I'd ever tried the satin hands and I thought to myself 'I could say, yes and not mention I sell it, OR i could say yes and say, that I DO sell it!" I went with the later and guess what? She wanted to order sets for ALL of her employees for Valentine's day! 8 people! who hoo!! Then she is intersted in looking at their anti aging products for her eyes and etc... We have great stuff for that! So when I drop off the product, I'm dropping off a magazine for her too! and maybe leave one in the office! So needless to say, I gained another client plus maybe all the ladies that work in the dental office! Talk about growing my business in 2012! She also went ahead and wrote me the check too! So far, so good!

I ran with the boys in the BOB stroller last night. Oh MY! I am soooo out of shape! I only went 1.5 miles in 20 minutes! How horrible and my legs were killing me. Well they are a tad bit heaver than they used to be. I'm running with a coworker at lunch today at work. We'll see if i do better. I'll be using my myfitness app to track our time and distance! LOve it!

So loving Texas weather today! 79 degrees! Yippee!! Could you ask for a more beautiful day! I should have taken off enjoyed outdoors stuff all day. Maybe taken the boys the the zoo or something. Not much going on here at work anyways..

Have a great weekend everyone!

My wants are still here.

I still want this.
Michael Kors Hamilton Bag

AND this..
IPAD

And This...
Car...

What can I say? Even though I can't get any of it right now, i can still dream right?

So I'll just keep on bringing my old (purse), using my Amazon Kindle App on my Iphone and keep on driving my little 4 door broke down Passat with 2 HUGE car seats in them with NO room until its time. Oh did I tell you it has over 200,000 miles on it? ahahahahah. It also needs major stuff done, but it's still rolling!

Happy Thursday.

I haven't Posted yet this year? On this Blog?

Oops! I think I did on my old blog.

Some of the things I'm looking forward to are;
1) my sister's wedding in Virginia! Awesome!
2) Losing weight. I plan to drop 20 lbs!! Get back to single digits. ;)I'm a size 10. I want a size 6 back! Keeping it off! Lifestyle change!
3) Dropping the Debt we owe to creditors
4) My boys sleeping in their beds ALL Night!
5) Growing my Mary Kay business
6) Grow in my current full time career. Maybe some different/better opportunities? We'll see.
7) Trying to be a better person and great mom! Oh yea, and wife.
8) Read more, less tv. That ususally happens in the summer time though.

All is well!
