"That was EASY"

First let me say that "I Love, Love, Love this Easy button!" I think everybody should have one!

My daughter was cleaning out her room one night and gave me this "easy" button! I instantly laughed and brought it to work. I have to tell you that when you press the button it says in a mans voice - "That was easy!"

So I now have an easy button on my desk at work. (I'm attaching a picture so you can see it.) I have many people here at work just walk in and hit my easy button as if it were there own. Somehow this "easy" button has grown on everybody. What is it about this "easy" button that we love? Don't laugh but here our my reasons for hitting the "easy" button...

*I'm patting myself on the back for a job well done!
*I'm thinking to myself "Good job Robin for thinking of that when no one else did!"
(Plus it sure looked good to my boss, not to mention I'm walking around the office with my head held high...thinking Oh, yea...I'm the bomb!!! haha)
*I have finally finished the dreaded task that I've been working on.
*It is finally 5:00pm and I'm singing 9-5 like Dolly Parton.
*I can finally breathe now that my works done!
*I'm so mad and irritated that I'm not finding an easy way to do something, so I beat the easy button with a passion. (Seriously beating the button...so that the man's voice is now sounding kind of strangled and more like a woman than a man!)

I finally realize that beating my "easy" button and breaking it, may send all my co-workers into a state of shock! Then were would we be? Wait, I know...I would be doing all of their work! Um...NO!

So now, I'm making myself and all of my co-workers go super super easy on the "easy" button! Sounds corny I know, but hey I'm already looking for a replacement online.

So overall whew..."That was Easy!" ;)

Reading too much?

Ok, I'll admit it! All I want to do lately is read. Read, Read, and Read some more!!
Honestly I've been racking my brain on "Why I need to read today" or "Why I shouldn't read today?" And it is not even one specific book! I have so many that I want to read at once, but for some reason my mind keeps telling me to finish the book I am reading now before starting another one. Are you able to read multiple books? If so please tell me how you do this. I really want/need to know.

Starting over...

Well...

As many can soon imagine, I did NOT keep up with my blogging at all. I have since made another resolution to try and incorporate it into my daily routine. I know that many people don't believe in resolutions for the new year, and that is perfectly ok. Too be honest for me, I do continue to make them. "Why you ask?" I feel that it's alright to start something, kind of like a new beginning, when your life changes, or you want your life to change. I myself feel that starting something is better than never starting it at all. Even if I fail after I've started it. I at least know I tried.

I have decided however to just blog about me! That's right, just me! I am not going to be posting any lap-band results any longer. I just want a place where I can be "Me!"

I have struggles too, just as most of us do.

I am the caregiver to my husband "Eddie." Please keep us in your prayers! I am a Christian, and I hope that by listening to my "ups and downs" that you may gain some sort of strength and encouragement by my words. Actually not my words, but Gods words!

Whether it is a good or bad day, I hope you will tag along for the journey!

Where has summer gone?

Wow!

Well It is the end of August and school has officially started! Sad to see summer go, but also excited to see my children growing.

New and exciting things are happening. Let me see where to begin...

I haven't officially stepped on the scale, but I believe my grand total on weight loss is now around 55-60 pounds. Woo Hoo! Yes It is still hard, and I'm still trucking along, but I do have my moments of just wanting to stuff myself. Thank goodness the Lap-Band won't allow me to do that, which is a good thing.

Church is still the same. We have had some hurts these last few months from some people very close to us. We have chosen this time to move forward and to allow God to work on us mentally and spiritually and help to heal our hearts. But I shall send updates about that soon.

Eddie is doing ok. He still has about 15 more pounds to lose before the Transplant team will put him on the transplant list. This last 15 pounds is horrible to try and get off! But he's determined thank goodness. My hubby got a part time job in the mornings. I think it has been good for him. It has taken a bit for us to all get adjusted to his new schedule. He had to change his dialysis time now, and it has kind of made us re-adjust how we did some things before. But it is all working out and I'm so proud of him.

Lauren is starting college again, and she just got a different job that should last her until she is close to finishing school. She is extremely excited! It is an accounting intern position which will help with school and be very beneficial.

Josh is in his last year a middle school thank goodness! WHEW!~ These middle school years are extremely hard. And other kids are so cruel sometimes, so please be in prayer and covering over him.

Going to keep this short since I'm at work. I'll holler later! ;)
