Holy Crow....2 years since I last posted! Yup, I am THAT bad at this. My little one in the pic is not so little any more..She's 2 now. And VERY much a 2 year old. My boys are now 9 +11. Gotta love those pre-teen years. ugh.
Fiance and I are finally getting married this year. 10/10/10....he picked the date. 2 reasons....
1. It's right before hunting season
2. he'll actually be able to remember the date.
He's a character that's for sure. We're doing it simple and sweet,with a little redneck thrown in! I'm making the card box and bought Mossy Oak fabric for it. Then attaching the antlers he found, plus some gorgeous fall colored flowers. Hopefully it's going to turn out the way I want!

Garage Sales!!!
Today was a FUN garage sale day! I got SO many awesome deals! Though I did go to a few that were, um, RI-FRICKIN-DICULOUS! Honestly how can you possibly throw a sale and charge almost FULL price for used items. I saw the cutest little summer dress for my daughter that I would have paid maybe $2 for. It was Walmart brand but adorable. This woman was charging $6! I can go to Walmart and buy it for that much.
Also, if you advertise HUGE sale....make it a HUGE sale. Not one or 2 little tables with CRAP on them. People waste precious gas $$ to come to your sale to be greatly disappointed and pissed off!
I am always looking for clothes for the kids. My boys destroy their pants at school and if I can get away with getting them cheap then that's what they get. Same for baby clothes. She is 5 months old and wears 9 month clothes already.
My take for today:
- 4 brand new coffee mugs $1 (don't ask me how many I break!!!)
- wooden play shotgun for my 7 year old $1 ( he wants to be an army guy)
- Levi jeans in almost new condition for my oldest 50 cents
-2 old navy hats for the baby who has VERY little hair 50 cents
- 2 gorgeous picture frames $1 each
- MANY books ( I sell on Ebay) for $1.50 total
- Brand new Xmas items to use for hostess + teacher gifts at Holiday time $1.25
- Pink and white throw rug for the baby's room 25 cents! ( my bloodhound ate the other one)
Not too shabby! And I had fun with my kids. They are getting to be quite the little bargain hunters too. The boys like to pick out books for me to sell on Ebay.
I am pooped....gonna try to take a snooze while my little girl is sleeping and the boys are out fishing with their Papa.

Intro to my life!
Hey all!
Thanks for visiting. This is all new to me, so please bear with me and any mistakes I make! I normally REALLY hate technology, so this is quite a step for me.
My name is Lou Ann. I am almost 39, have 3 kids ( 2 boys 9+7 and a baby girl born in January). I love my kids more than anything. They, thankfully don't know how much I am unhappy within myself. Right now it's a battle with my weight. I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago, then came Baby. I am 15 pounds heavier than I was when I got pregnant. I look and feel absolutely disgusting. I just can't seem to get a grip on my eating! I do work out at night when I finally get the kids to bed. But with the way I eat, it really doesn't seem to work. I hate cooking, I will cook for the kids, but I can't make food just for me. Seems like a waste of time to me.
I am hoping this blog makes me accountable to myself and to hopefully get some insight from other people.
This first post is a quickie as I need to go to sleep!
