Hello! :wn Its been a long time. I was a member on here awhile back under the name of Minnie Mouse. My name is Sandy. I lost my way somewhere and am trying to find my way back. I am searching for the diet i want to do but havent decided yet but its time.
Well alot of changes. First off in case you dont remember my hubbys name is Sam and I have 3 children. My oldest is a girl who will be 15 this week coming. She is in 9th grade, an honor student and has a boyfriend Frank. My middle daughter will be 13 in January and her boyfriend is Donald who is Frank's brother. Let me just say they are supervised always and where i live everyone and anyone in school has a so called boyfriend.
My youngest is James. He is 11 yrs old and in 5th grade. Then i have a 13 yr old step daughter. But to give you the suprising news. I am a new mommy again. Not planned, actually a big surprise. I gave birth to identical twin boys on Dec. 2. I was due in Jan. I didnt know i was pregnant for awhile as i was on the pill and didnt have a period for 1 1/2 yrs which they said was fine from family planning. apparently not so. I did use antibiotics often as i had bronchitis and a sinus infection. Anyways the babies are now 15 days old and doing fine. Evan was born first weighing an even 5 pounds and Logan followed 2 min later weighing 4 pounds 12 oz. Both 18 inches long. Now i am all italian so my first 3 children from my 1st marriage all have brown hair and brown eyes. My hubby sam has red hair and grey eyes. My babies both have grey eyes and what looks like they will have his red hair. I am glad. Actually my hubby comes from large family of 19 kids. he is number 18 and 2 are sets of twins.
I still work at subway and my best friends name is Jaime who works with me.
In May we got a puppy named Luke. I love him tons. He is full beagle or so they say but he looks part bassett. so loving and friendly. He is 10 months old now.
I have missed everyone and hope your all still here. To name a few Pengii, Chum, Beth,Maximum,SandieLynne i hope you remember me.
I have often wondered how you all are. I had some issues here with the kids with going wild in new town with smoking and so on and am trying to get a better handle on things. everyone here is doing fine now but i gotta watch them like a hawk. I will come on here whenever i can but wont be every day. I also got into playing sims2. i love it and its a great stress releaser for me. much fun too.
well hope to talk to you and take care.
:)

Look forward to reading about your goals, your family and your successes .. as you can see from the responses you have already received YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN. ....

Have and make it a fantastic weekend. Always, Monica

I wanted to congratulate you and tell you that it is nice to meet you. You will have a very very Merry Christmas!
I hope to get to know you, everyone here seems to love you...I'm sure I will, too! :)

I have missed you all soooooo much too.
I try to come on here at night. I am so tired though but i need a little alone time. Right now hubby is asleep, my oldest is asleep and my son James. My other daughter is showering(of course she couldnt do it earlier)LOL
and the babies just were fed, changed and the usual and are now sleeping.
They are starting to sleep longer at night.

Yes i am still working but part-time. Not by choice but need the money and i gotta get outa here sometimes. My job has very flexible hrs. I only work about 15 hrs a week for extras. Right now hubby is laid off as his job is seasonal so he is home with them during the day, I usually work 11-3 or like noon to 4. The lunch shift and tips are usually good.
Im almost done xmas shopping. My oldest wanted a lizard. So i took her and got her a skink. Its like a lizard but with skin of a snake. It sounds way creepier than it is. We got the aquarium, heating lamp, live crickets for food(YUCK)(They make me feel itchy) we got the rock like water bowl and hanging plants(fake ones) and then i got my other daughter the whole set up for a guinea pig she asked for. The cage, food, bedding, snacks. The guinea pig is so adorable. His name is Shizzle and Marcutio is the skink.
I also got the girls these crimper irons that have many plates to striaten, crimp, curl and put design in your hair, i got them a new CD(there dad is getting them a stereo) I got them hairbrush sets, and a pile of stuff. I got James 3 new Xbox games, sneakers, shrek slippers, a robe, simpsons life too name a few and my step daughter i bought for too. The babies i didnt go nuts with as there way to small to even know yet. So just some small stuff and clothes.
I got my hubby a new tool box, some tools, work boots, slippers and i want to get him a watch.

i am so busy its unreal. My bedroom is jammed full with 2 cribs, my king size bed, and 2 dressers. but i do have a big walk in closet thank goodness.
My laundry is never done no matter how hard i try. Plus i will be throwing a birthday party for my daughter turrning 15. She is inviting a bunch of teenagers(lucky me) and they have to wear PJ'S she said. Then a few girls will sleep over. It should be overwhelming.
And then alissa's birthday is in January and she wants to do the same thing.

well my dieting sucks right now. I havent chosen a plan or had time to but i will. I do get enough exercise as i should weigh 100 pounds. But today for example i had BK for breakfast(me and my friend stopped on our way to pick up the 3 kids from there visit with their dad) for lunch i didnt eat then my friend babysat and we went to my sons football banquet and i ate alot including dessert. Tonite i had 1 gertrude hawk choc lollipop.
I need to get focused.
It snowed out too.

well gotta go i hear something.

talk soon,.

It is so great to hear an update from you again :)

Life sounds very busy - but good your way minnie ( sorry you will always be minnie to me lol ) :D

Diet wise - you'll be fine - you know the plans that work for you and when your in the right frame of mind I know you will chose and be a success at reaching your weight loss goals :D

Beth :peace:

Sandy, welcome back, and WOW what a surprise, twins, whoohoo!!!

Sounds like the rest of the gang is doing well too. You have always been a wonderful mom.

I look forward to posting back and forth again, I am just going to start a new journal.

Thanks for bringing us up to date.

Hi Welcome Back! I always remember seeing your screen name/handle or whatever you want to call it, but I didn't really know you. So, I am so glad that you started posting again and I can get to know you more this time! :D

I LOVE the first Sims game, but had to stop at HotDate because my computer is old and it was getting too full. I don't know if I should dare start Sims 2 as I am in graduate school now and could definitely see myself getting hooked. I love that game!

Congrats on your babies!!! They must keep you SO busy!

Happy Holidays,
Lindsey
