Theme Thursday-Secret

I'm linking up with Cari again this week.

This week's theme is Secret. I joked with Cari on Twitter that I thought she was talking about the deodorant and she so kindly said I could interpret it any way I wanted. ;-)

This morning I had my measurements with my trainer and I gained weight this month. I'm at 264 up from 262. I also increased in some measurements, I'm holding out hope that it is water weight, but I don't know for sure.

So my secret is this:

These things are where I fail. The candy is Dominic's but I find it so easy to stick "just one" in my mouth. The chocolate chips are Christopher's, he loves to snack on them, and I find that I have chocolate chips in my mouth before I even know it. And the butter...well that's all me. I keep telling myself that I'm just using such a small amount to cook with that it can't possibly be that much worse than using the spray. But, maybe it is. Maybe I need to stop making excuses.

I hope other people's secret posts are much less weighty than mine! ***Ohmygosh, I've never had such a wonderful chance for a pun in my LIFE!!

Theme Thursday-Text and a Recap

I'm linking up with the Clan again this week, and we're talking about text today. This fit in with where I was this week; I had to do a continued education to keep up my PTA license (6 hours down 14 to go :-/).

It was  a great class; I learned a lot about dementia and how to treat patients suffering from this with more dignity and to help them get the most out of their therapy. I also took A LOT of notes, it reminded me of being in school and I sort of missed that (shhh don't tell Jason, he might think I want to go back!).

Jason went with the boys and they spent the day playing and I think had a good time. After I was done with the class, we found a splash park for the boys!

It was lots of fun!

Theme Thursday - Food

I'm linking up with Cari over at the Clan because she's awesome and I can.

So, food, what a great link-up as anyone who knows me knows that I love food. I'm trying not to hate it right now that I can't eat all the things, but sometimes it's a struggle. I don't know why, it's not too different than how we usually eat, except that I usually don't think twice about baking up some brownies, granola bars, or cookies for snacks. Instead I'm eating raw, unsalted almonds or protein bars and shakes.

Anyway, this is what lunch looked like in the Spano house today.

I did not eat the dish soap honest!

Dominic eating the only thing he ever eats with a spoon, Snail Cheese

Lunch: 1 PB sandwich cut properly and 2 bananas

Theme Thursday- Rooms

I'm linking up with Cari again, it's been a while but today's was perfect! We just had our carpets cleaned today and I even have before and after pictures!

I was determined to not put the same "restrictions" on my kids as my parents had for me and allow eating and drinking in the living room. This was a mistake. The carpet was gross.

Needless to say it made a big difference and we won't be allowing drinks (except plain water) or food in the living room.

Theme Thursday - Dads

I'm linking up with the Clan again because Cari is so awesome and I love her link-ups...except for when I can't relate because I don't have any girls in the house besides myself and I already played along with the self-portrait one. ;-)

So this week's theme is dads. While I have a great connection with both my step-dad and my dad, I'm not including them here because a) I don't actually have their permission to put their likeness on my blog and because b) the most important dad in my life right now is the dad to my boys.

Jason is such a good daddy; he walks in the door and immediately is looking for his boys to play with and hug and just be with. He handles everything with them as well as...well let's be real here...better than I do. Aside from breastfeeding anyway.

The one he's wearing isn't even our baby lol, we were watching a friend's little girl

Well, um, that was picture heavy. Ah well...they're cute boys so it's OK right?! Go see Cari and check out more dads!
