Karen did this on tumblr and stole it from ezzie and kelechi... so now i will steal it. Ten Day Challenge. One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people. Two: Nine things about yourself. Three: Eight ways to win your heart. Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot. Five: Six things you wish you had never done. Six: Five people who mean a lot. Seven: Four turn offs. Eight: Three turn ons. Nine: Two smileys that describe your life. Ten: One confession.
i will start on it later though... and give you my daily update too
Okay this is me updating:
So I'm going to start the ten day challenge tomorrow. Today i feel crappy... I pretty much feel like not being here. I feel like I am not worth much these days. That I am the last person anyone would come to for anything. That To potential employeers I am just a piece of paper and that piece of paper says that I am crap because I have no experience and can't even complete a BSN before having to drop it and get a lower degree. Okay, so I know the last statement is true and that is probably where this is stemming from. But today was just crappy. I LOVE when people keep secrets from me. That just makes me feel awesome you know? Like what, am I not a trustworthy enough person for you that you really think I would go talking to everyone I know about what ever it was? Seriously... if you haven't looked at my life recently let me fill you in. I spend 10 hours a day with toddlers... the other 8 that I am awake I am usually alone. I have exactly 3 people that I talk to daily and it is because they are forced to be in the same room with me. WHO THE HELL WOULD I SAY ANYHTING TO? Sorry my mood sucks.
The girls got to play outside at day care today which is always a good thing. Then daddy (my BIL) was home when we got back so they got to play outside some more. Kate was too cute playing outside in the dead of winter in a tutu. I will be visiting the Dr office next with her I'm sure.
I'm going on a cruise. Not sure if I said that earlier. Lastnight I had to do my check in and set up an expense account for it. It is Feb 17th to the bahamas! woohoo! it is my first. the ladies ministry at church is doing it for a women's retreat. so pumped!
On to the diet! So today was good... still had 3 munchkins and a cornbread muffin, but if i didn't have them when I wanted them then I would devour a whole lot more when I eventually gave in. So for breakfast i had a california pite. it is really good. I had it the other day too. It is pita with almond butter and grapes. Almond butter is amazing! you should try it. and it is pretty easy to make. just google raw almond butter. then for lunch and dinner (i know, lame) I had the spaghetti squash again. I really do like spaghetti squash! I think it would be totally and completely yummo with some real sauce. Don't think I am going to do a snack at night any more. It is a lot of food for one day even though I have only been consuming between 1200-1300 calories everyday. It is just time consuming to eat 4 times a day.
So, I think it is safe to post now... my sister is having a GIRL! That makes #4!!!! so Amelia Lois will be here in June and I am so totally stoaked!
I'm off for tonight. Tomorrows post should be fun: hair day, babysitting, 10 day challenge... lots of stuff.

Sonogram day!
Um, no i'm not pregnant. My sister is. She and Mazz went to find out the sex today. I am very excited... but wont say until they have told everyone they want to. But i will tell you it is one of tow options... so you pick! But I will tell you the little peanut moves a lot! Jenn said they were having a hard time getting clear pictures for measurements and what not because it just kept moving! love that!
In dieting news... nothing big. Mazz got the girls doughnuts this morning so I have 3 doughnut holes... blueberry (my fav!). Other than those and the cornbread I made last night and couldn't resist today i did good! Have the spice avocado tacos and the mozzarella pizza again. they are just so good. But i did have to cut some fresh jalapeno and that always gives me a headache.
I am thinking about nixing the diet thought. It was good for the whole week i did it (I know... no will power). But I was looking at it from a money sand point. My grocery bill is about $60/week... that is up by 50% over my crappy eating habits. And to be honest, I don't really feel that much different. i just do the holiday weight off. I may do the 5 day fast forward once a month or every other month. I think i am going to try healthy trim. It is like $60 a month so I think that would be better... and easier. It is a pain to carry my meals around with me all the time. I am never at home at meal time!
I think that is it for today. One republic's Waking Up just came on... love that! Off to watch Idol and Nikita... lame I know!

Craisin and... eggs?!?!?
So, the diet is going good. Catch up moment: I am doing the Cinch! diet by Cynthia Sass. I had the California pita for breakfast, the best pizza I have ever made for lunch, spaghetti squash for dinner, and egg pesto and craisin spread for a snack. More of the egg later.
The pizza was awesome. It was half of a pita covered with garlic, tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella. then all of that was topped with fresh garden greens and balsamic vinegar. Holy cow talk about amazing!!!! I really suggest that as a must try!
On to the snack part of my day. So it was a hard boiled egg mixed with pesto and rosemary and craisins spread on top of whole grain crackers. I was not bold enough to put the craisins in it... that just seemed weird! but the rest was good together. So, that was my dieting day.
Haven't jumped on a scale lately. I wont do that as often now. Maybe once a week, but probably less. it is better that way... i dont need the discouragement of no number change.
I'm at Papa's (my grandfather) tonight. It is pretty fun to get to stay 2 nights a week with him. He can be really funny. I am wishing I spent more time over here before Grandmother passed. I find myself missing her a lit these days. she crosses my mind more times than I can count each day. her birthday is coming up and I dont know what to do, but i feel like i should do something... something she would have loved. Any family reading? you guys have any ideas? Grandmother was always good at birthdays. She knew how to make you feel special every day you spent with her and bithdays were no different.
Tonight Papa and I picked lottery numbers. first the "great's" birthdays then the grands then the kids then aniversaries. But the time we got to fantasy 5 I think he was just making stuff up. It was funny. Also had my first event with his meds. Holy that is a lot of medication!
10:42: watching Off the Map and winding down. Going to sleep!
Goodnight blogging world! Thanks for stumbling with me!

Starting off...
So... It is a new year and after last year I am feeling the need to chronicle my life a little better. I've always been horrible at keep a journal, but maybe in electronic form I will be better at it. So this is it, my new blog to ramble about my daily life... or me stumbling though life like I feel many of us are doing.
so for those of you who are "blog stalkers" or just happen by my page let me introduce myself. I'm Danielle. I'm 26 and leave near Atlanta. I'm a nurse but that is not my job. I graduate from nursing school 2 years ago and the job market sucks for those who have no experience. So I work for my sister. She is awesome! I'm her kids "nanny" of sorts. I get to hang out with Morgan (12), Sophie (3), and Kate (2) monday through friday. We play games, yell at each other, pick up the house, watch movies, watch the disney channel, and color a lot! It is a fun gig and I am by no means complaining. I am single and pretty happy with that. Yes someday I want a family with a dog, big house, and picket fence but for now I am just me and that is great. I live with 2 other girls, leslie and hannah. Leslie has been my best friend for a while now. I say that because I don't actually know when we became friends. I've known her since I was 13, but we were not friends until later on. We found Hannah on Craig's list. Scary I know, but it is working out pretty well. Other characters of my life will pop up from time to time.
So that is kind of me in a nut shell. You'll learn more about me as we go, so no worries. I plan to be open and honest, as this is more for me than any of you and I want to remember every detail! So, I think this is it for my opening post. Have a good day, and stay tuned... more to come!
