Random Stuff

Friday confirmed my weight loss... 18 pounds! So, of course this weekend I went crazy eating everything I could, then tomorrow it is back to the same 'ole boring stuff. The doctor was very excited for me, and he'll see me again in 2 months. So, my goal for the next 2 months will be 25lbs. That's around 3 pounds per week. Fairly reasonable.

We have 1 week before vacation! We are so excited. We're spending a week at DISNEY... yes we're vacationing less that 30 minutes from home. We're so adventurous! I can't even count the number of times we've been to Disney since Aubrey was born; however, we usually just drive over for the day. This time, we've decided to rent a vacation home near Disney property. It's a fairly large house with a pool and jacuzzi. Which will mean a little privacy, plus we'll be able to prepare meals in the house rather that eating out every meal. This will also allow us to have more space than a hotel room. Which we'll need after spending an entire day together in the heat. Yes, we love each other, but it's nice to have space when needed. I'm so excited for this vacation. We really need some time away from work!

Aubrey had a game yesterday and the boys ended up losing. Her squad looked miserable. They were hot and sweaty, and bugs were everywhere! I just keep telling myself that it'll start cooling off soon. She still enjoys cheering. I wasn't sure she'd survive, but she has.

Weight Loss Day 46

18 down and much more to go! Today I had an appointment with Dr. G (thankfully not THAT Dr. G) and so far I've lost 18 pounds. At this rate it will take me 367 days to get to my goal... that's a LONG time! I actually go to Dr. N on Friday, he's the doc monitoring my weight loss, but I thought I'd go ahead and update. I will say I've cheated much more than I should, so I'm happy with this loss. I always hear it's good to go slow, and that's what I'm doing. On Friday I'll see Dr. N and he will recheck my potassium, which has been high. My blood pressure today was NORMAL! That's an improvement.

The Past

I did a montage from the game today, and came across the one I made when Bailey turned one. It's amazing how much she's changed over the past two years. I think I'll update this with more pics, so we can see even more amazing changes. Our little girl is growing up.

For those who haven't seen this before, it does show pics from her heart surgery, so please be prepared or feel free to make the decision not to view.

These are pics of Aubrey from this morning. If you're a member of her team and would like to see pics of all the girls please send me an e-mail. I didn't want to post everyone here for privacy reasons. The girls were amazing! I was so proud of each and every one of them.

Lawsuit: Footage shows school abuse

This made me scared and terrified of the future. I hope we never experience anything like this. I can't imagine seeing either of my children treated this way.
This child, who is unable to communicate, was dragged by two adults from his classroom to isolation. In this video you are able to see blood on the floor and walls of isolation. This same day, the young man in the video broke his finger. The teacher has been terminated, but not due to the abuse seen in the video.

First Day of School

Bailey barely survived her first day. She was asleep before we left the parking lot. Poor little girl won't nap at school, and the increase in her usual activity wore her out. Now, it's over an hour past bedtime and we still hear her in her bed. So, tomorrow may be another exhausting day for her.

She has her same paras as last year, but she does have a new teacher. Miss Grace is very nice and we look forward to spending an exciting year with her.

I need to get laundry done. Goodnight.
