It’s been a while
Sorry, everyone, for taking so long to write another blog, but I’ve been extremely busy at work and at home. I have missed you guys tremendously and while I usually have a chance to read a few blogs, I haven’t had the time to respond or write my own.
Things have been pretty crazy since I started my new job. By the time I get home from work, I have to get dinner, do laundry, bathe the kids, feed the chickens, tend to my plants, take care of the new puppy and straighten up the house. Then, I fall into bed exhausted where I crash until I have to get up and do it all over again the next day. And, to make things busier than they already are, we just added 8 rabbits to our “farm.”
This was much easier when I was still a stay-at-home mom. I had all day to get everything done…now I do that full day’s work in the hours between 5:30 and 10 p.m. My husband helps, as do my kids, but it’s still non-stop until bedtime. Whew!
My diet’s going okay. Still trying to get myself on some kind of system where I can continue to stay on my program with the least amount of extra effort. Still drinking Slim-Fast and I’ve even brought water to work so I have it to drink. My coffee consumption has gone from 5-6-7 cups (pots) per day to around 2-3 cups. I still haven’t figured out where to put a workout into my daily routine, but I’m not too worried about it right now…just can’t worry about it.
Oh, one more thing that might be happening soon is that my husband has two daughters from a previous marriage. The girls are 12 and 13 and they might come to live with us for a while…at least that’s what my husband would love. If they do, I’ll have FOUR children…three of whom are in puberty! AAARRRRGGHHH! Wish me well….lol.
Alright….I guess I’d better get back to work. I really do love all you guys and miss talking to you. I do read your blogs and I’m here with you guys in spirit.
Hope things are going superb for everyone!! Take care!!!

WOW! You have been so busy…well I for sure have missed you a whole lot! Try to relax some though (I know it’s hard with that routine) but you don’t want to burn yourself out! Anyway congrats on cutting out on the caffeine and you have my prayers with the girls remember I had two teenagers YAEHWEEEE is all I can say. It’ll be nice for your husband though and you’re a great person they’ll love and respect you! Okay so get back to work and know that we still love and miss you and it’s cool you drop us a few lines every now and then!!!!
It can take awhile to get yourself adjusted to a new schedule. Make sure you take time for you though. If you don’t start from the beginning, it’s hard to figure it out later. I learned that the hard way!
I understand about busy. My work and life keep me going. Kudos to you for being able to do it with kids too!
How awesome to see you back Maggie!!! I’ve missed your blogs more then you know, but realize how busy you are with the job. You sound really happy. A new puppy!! did I miss a blog? I love dogs. Have fun with your new job and family…we all look forward to your blogs!!
Good to see you are still hanging in there. You can still do alot with your weight loss just worrying about food and when you have a regular routine down you can in some little work outs here and there. Nice to see you are still around and doing your best. Good luck!
I have one word for you–WOW!! You are a superwoman and I now feel like a frumpy, lazy woman! I come hope and avoid any work whatsoever!! After reading your blog I feel as if I should do more. You are amazing!! In all the busy work however, I hope you find time for yourself. Maybe a 20 minute walk around the block. God knows after the girls come to live with you guys, you will need a moment of solitude everyday! Hang tight and don’t worry, we will be here whenever you come back!
