freezer is stocked

this morning i went to weight watchers and weighed in. i am down 2.4 pounds. yeah! i'm so excited. i feel totally empowered. i'm hoping that the next couple of weeks are losing weeks so that i can fit back into my favorite shorts. they will be a little snug, but i hate wearing my fat girl pants.

while james is out of pocket, my grandmother came over and helped me prepare a bunch of yum food for the freezer. there were a few recipes that i had to tweak in order for me to be able to eat a decent portion, but most of them were weight watcher recipes. i have a couple of soups, a chili cheese mac, and a few casseroles. one is a yummy sausage and cheese brunch casserole (who wants to come over on sunday???)! it was so much fun chopping and mixing and putting together these dishes with my grandmother. it was nice visiting about the grandmother that passed away from alzheimer's, my grandpa and the salad guy mystery, james' job and the kids. i've had a lot on my mind lately, so it was just nice to have someone to talk to!

i surprised jared and lauren with news that they'd be having a playdate. yeah, lucky kids get a playdate on a school night! they were so excited to hear that their friends ricky and ray were going to be coming over. they got to the house around 6 p.m. and we ate pizza and they played games in the playroom while anita and i visited. the kids had such a great time playing together. it's nice that four kids can play without having to be separated for fighting, talking ugly, etc. they are a good group of kids.

after anita and the boys left, i put the kids to bed. they were out within fifteen minutes. YEAH!!!brandon and i laid down on the couch and watched a little tv. he just fell asleep...now he's rocking peacefully in his swing. i'm heading to bed. goodnight!!!
