I think life has put everything on hold for me....My oldest son Keoni is having his Boy Scout Eagle Court of Honor next Saturday.  I am making him a scrapbook....so I feel like until all of that is done I cannot be blogwoman.  I miss you all.....but I will be back in full force as soon as I am able.  I feel a little like I am dog paddling in the deep end a little....but I might get to the shallow end soon enough!!  Hope your holidays were wonderful....and your New Year has started off with a BANG!

PS....remember that very large number???  Well I'm sure it's still there but I have a plan...I'll tell you as soon as I get to the shallow....

Life trying to kick me when I'm down...

Dear Life,

Really?
So found out my weight....and decided to brave it out and post it so I can be accountable in black and white.
Then I went to the orthopedic surgeon with my little guy Kumaka and found out that he will need major surgery in February and be in a spica cast for a couple of months.  You can read more about it here.  I went to the ortho to talk about a different issue and felt completely blindsided.

The next day I got the flu.
Body aches.
Nausea.
UGH.
This whole weekend I've had to lay a little low...when I thought I was feeling better I discovered I was still not quite right.
GREAT.

Then I realized that my oldest son's Eagle Court of Honor is in 6 weeks....and Christmas is in 21 days....and I'm now in full blown panic mode.

Put out a note on Facebook....my dear friend told me she could help with my invites...and my sis said she could help with the labels.
My computer has been making me want to hurl trying to make labels.
Taking deep breaths.
I can do this.
And I can start weight watchers.
And I can start working out.
And I can start taking care of me...

RIGHT?????

EEK.

Would love to hear what you all do when Life tries to kick you...
