We have been so busy this month!! We have had busy weekends for like two months straight! This last weekend Tobi and Grase came to visit for a Lost marathon! They needed to catch up on season 6 so we tried to get them caught up. Of course they didn't finish but came close! Just 5 episodes to go, oh wait 6 now that one aired on Tuesday. Can't believe Lost is going to end on Sunday!!! We have a wedding on Sunday but should be home in time for the last Lost episode!!
In other news my pain seems to be getting worse and I have no idea why. It seems it is always changing. One pain goes away and another one appears! It is so exhausting. On top of that I have a new boss, my old one got a promotion, and I have to start all over with the new one. Also the county might be having everyone do a 4/10 (10 hour days M-Th) for the new fiscal year (July 2010) I can't do 10 hour days!!! I am on a modified schedule (8 hours M-Th) but it ends June 30th. If they keep the 10 hour days I don't know what I am going to do. Sure anyone else would love this schedule but i just can't do it with my chronic pain. I miss more days, come in late or leave early when I am on the 10 hour days. Since my FMLA (family medical leave act) probably will run out in a couple of months there is no way I can get away with missing so many days and hours without getting in trouble, or even losing my job. What can I do? Pray, I just have to pray they don't do the 4/10 schedule.
Karson has been working M-Friday so that is good. At least we have one of us working full time! I am so excited to be getting another niece or a nephew!! I am trying to spend as much time with Sofia and I will definitly be spending the first few days with them after the new baby comes. I did this with Sofia and I think that is why Sofia and i have a special bond. She gets so excited when she sees me, I love it!!! I want a nephew eventually but another niece will be fine for me!! I did not have sisters growing up so it would be nice for Sofia to have a little sister!
We have Tobi and Grace's anniversary dinner on June 5th and we find out the sex of the new baby on that day. I can't wait!!!!!
Well that is all for now!!!

Update
So we have just been trying to get our house set up this past month. We have so much stuff to still move in from the garage but we got the most important items in the house.
In other news I have lost a total of 12.2 lbs so far on my new diet. I had a bad week about two weeks ago but I got back on track. I also got on FMLA, Family Medical Leave Act, which protects my job due to absences. My doctor requested for me to work 8 hour days instead of 10 for a month to see if it helps my pain. I started my 8-4:30pm schedule on Monday 3/22/10. I already feel better!! It is a good thing the law protects my job because I have missed alot of work due to my chronic pain over the past two years. No doubt I would have been fired if I didn't work in the County.
Me and Karson are still off on Fridays and we are taking advantage of it by getting stuff done around the house and doing errands.
Well that is all for now. Not much going on. Our friend Stephanie is getting married in May so hopefully I will have lost 20lbs by then so I can fit into some of my nicer dresses for her wedding.

Moving!!!
So our carpet is getting installed today!!! So happy!! We are moving this weekend!!! Finally back into our own house, and back on the computer!! Man I have gotten behind on Facebook and the Blog!!! I have pictures to post from Dland trip with Toby, Grase and Sofia. I have anniversary dinner pictures to post too!!! Can't wait to get settled in the new house. It is going to look great with new carpet and all the new paint!!! Hopefully everyone will come visit our new little house!!
In other news I started weight watchers again, yes again. This time I had to be serious. With all my "digestive" problems I needed some drastic change. For those who don't know I have adhesion's on my colon that they did not remove and this is causing PAIN when my food is digesting. So I cut out dairy, gluten, processed sugar, and beef. The first week was hard but soooo worth it! I lost 7.8lbs in the first week!!! I feel 80% better! I say 80% because i still have minor problems with digesting/gas and I still have the nerve damage pain. My pain has improved for the better. You can't even imagine how much pain your colon can cause you!!! I am walking a little every day and going to Physical Therapy every other week and that is helping too. I mean my sister in law Keri has lost over 50lbs doing this same diet plan. It is easy when you have someone to help guide you through what "alternatives" you can have. You may think "how can you do it without eating bread/gluten?" Well gluten is only found in white or wheat flour so I can have all the other flours like Rice flour. You would be surprised how many items you can buy that are gluten free. Me and Keri have gluten free waffles with real fruit spread for dessert almost every night. It is just sweet enough to hit the spot. We have also had gluten free pizza. How? We get gluten free pizza shells then add garlic, goat cheese (we only eat goat cheese), chicken, onions and other veggies. We even had a bbq chicken pizza with sugar free bbq sauce. It is soooo good. Better even then the old pizza i use to eat. I mean we are eating healthy and that is always going to be a challenge in this "fast food" world we live in. It takes time and effort but believe me it is worth it! Your body will thank you and everyone else will notice how good you feel and look!!!!
