I've done great at losing weight so far, NOT. Since I decided to participate in McFatty Monday, like forever ago, I gave up on my diet, no working out, no watching what I'm eating. Until last Thursday. I started over again. I had gained a bit more than I started at, but I am back on track. Since Thursday I have lost...5.2lbs!!!
None of my capris fit, so I had to go buy a couple new pairs. Thankfully my MIL bought me one pair, and I bought a pair of nicer sweat pant capris, and I am still looking for a pair of jean capris. The first 2 pairs have a drawstring so they should fit for a while, but hopefully the 3 pairs of jean ones i have will fit soon.
My summer wardrobe as of right now consists of 3 dresses, 3 skirts, several shirts and 2 pairs of black capris. I need to lose weight quickly so I have more bottoms.
Check out McFatty Monday hosted by Diana at Hormonal Imbalances!!!

Thankful on Thursday...
Today I am thankful for...
(I stole this idea from HEIR to BLAIR)
- My husband's days off. I actually like that they aren't on the weekend. It means we get the whole day together, instead of having to share him with church, or other commitments.
- Eli's kisses. I love that he comes in my bed in the morning and gives me lots of kisses, it's the only time of day that he is still enough to cuddle with me.
- Playhouse Disney. It gives me some uninteruppted time on the computer in the mornings. We eat breakfast in the living room, Eli watches tv, and I read blogs, facebook, and post(once in a while.)

So normally I don't blog about giveaways, but this one is amazing. As the Foreste Grows is giving away a $50 gift certificate from Vintage Pearl. I REALLY REALLY want this, so I am hesitant to share this with ya'll but here it is. (Don't go visit, I don't need anymore competition. Just Kidding, wait no I'm not.)
Wordless Wednesday...
This is Eli trying to roll his eyes at me. He's 2.
Who would have thought it would start already?
For more Wordless Wednesday visit 5 Minutes For Mom...

Disaster Strikes...
...Middle TN. I have always been on the outside of every disaster. Looking in from the outside, with a heavy heart. This time disaster struck very close to home. In fact it hit everywhere around us.
It all started Saturday, May 1st. That's when the rain started, but didn't stop for two days. Two days of rain sounds like nothing right? No biggie. Except when that rain is equal to 14 inches in two days. To put that in perspective, the average rainfall here for the MONTH of May is 5 inches. We got almost 3 times the amount of rain we get in a month, in 2 days. I was nieve when I left my house Saturday, I thought that the rain was no big deal. Yes, it took me a little longer to get to church, but I am extra cautious.(and a little paranoid.) I took my time stayed far behind everyone else, and what should have been a 20 minute drive took me 35 minutes. During the 2 hours I was at church all HELL broke loose outside. One way down the street was completely flooded. Thankfully not the way I go. So I thought ok, I will be fine if I leave now. The 20 foot run to my car left me completely soaked and chilled to the bone. I headed out my usual way, and called my Momma in MI for prayer, since I am a very nervous driver as it is, and the rain made it that much worse. When I got almost to the end of the road my hope of getting home easily was dashed. The road was flooded. I had to turn around and find some other way, in a part of town that I am completely unfamiliar with. Still on the phone, I started sobbing, and my mother handed the phone to my Daddy.( Yes I still call him Daddy, and I probably always will. Don't judge.) My Dad talked me through it, even after my gas light came on, in the pouring rain. I cried off and on all the way home to my baby.
While my husband was at work with no car, the disaster continued. The tornado warnings forced all of our family into a tiny hallway in our house. We don't have a small family, my SIL(6 months prego) BIL MIL Eli and I were hanging out in the hallway. Anyone with a 2-year-old knows how hard it is to keep them still for an HOUR. The road closed, preventing me from being able to pick up my husband, thankfully someone could drive him home.
We watched the news coverage showing the highway I was on just 30 minutes before, completely flooded over the center barrier. Never has a disaster hit so close to home. Nashville continues to be flooded. Thankfully we are all ok, and we have no damage. Many people, however, were not so lucky. We continue to pray for them, as they start to pick up the pieces of their lives.
This past weekend has taught me to trust in my God, He cares about me. He will get me through.
Please pray for all of the families that went through the loss this weekend. Several people died because of this, pray for their families.
