"Scooby Scooby-Doo Where are you?"
and our cute little ghost!
We also hit the pumpkin patch this week and Lily loved it!
The girls had fun picking out pumpkins and got good and dirty!
Annie and her friend Hallie had their faces painted at our Trunk or Treat and it was definitely picture worthy! That was a fun filled night of games and friends!
Now that I posted all this cute fun stuff, I don't really want to rant but I'm gonna so maybe it will be cathartic. I am so tired of fighting with myself from sun up to sundown! I wake up and I have to force myself out of bed, then I have an argument with myself about doing the dishes. That moves onto getting exercise, being productive and staying awake. I have been working on losing weight and I'm up to 16 lbs. (YEAH) but that has added another fight about what I'm putting in my mouth (I've lost a few of those battles lately)! I also have the struggle with what I watch on TV, should I really be watching this or that show, no, but I wanna! I am dying to go shopping for anything and spend lots of money but I stay home to control myself. I know I need to stop drinking Diet Coke but I can't bring myself to start that fight, I'm barely making it on all the rest!! Even now I have a paper I need to write due tomorrow and I'm blogging. I am pretty pathetic!! Then I go to bed and get to wake up to it again tomorrow. Sometimes I feel like a gerbil in one of those running wheels, I'm moving fast but going nowhere! I need a nap. Or some cookie dough. Or both! I want all the fighting to stop! Can't we all just get along?!

You are so funny. I fight with myself all the time. I was going to tell you last night, you are looking skinny! (Don't worry, we can still be friends, at least for the time being.) I think losing 16 lbs is amazing! I feel like I have to fight tooth and nail for every pound, and then if I slack of even for a few days, bam, it is right back. Why couldn't Heavenly Father just have cursed me with a high metabolism? :) I would have been SO okay with it. You guys looked great last night, what a cute family.
16 lbs? You're amazing! I hear you on the gerbil in the wheel. I get really sick of the whole routine too sometimes. Hang in there. Supposedly it gets better!
16 lbs is awesome! You rock! I love that pic of your family too- you look really good :) I know how you feel- there are a lot of days when waking up seems a bit overrated. I've been trying to focus on accomplishing one thing at a time (instead of 15). Baby steps, like remembering to feed my kids...turning up the radio so the baby can't hear what I'm trying not to say to the 11th car that's cut us off...things like that :) By the way did you catch Elder Uchdorff's talk in Woman's conference on creating? That really inspired me a lot!
I want you to take a look at how amazing you are! see www.mindiandelrey.blogspot.com
Just reading all you are up to makes me want to go and raid my kids' halloween candy, whew!
Go get a pedi and take a break and then maybe you will feel better and can continue on with the inner battle to do good things - I think we all feel that often. You are amazing just don't forget that!!!
Love your Halloween pics. I think you glasses are hot. Way to go on the 16lbs that is awesome. I am looking forward to the Thanksgiving day race. I'm sure you will leave me in the dust:)
