I am real need of a new blanket. The one I am using is falling apart. It is not pretty but it is perfect! Perfect coverage, perfect warmth. If it weren't falling apart it would be the stuff that dreams are made of. But I think I could replace it happily with one of these bad boys! Some of the blankets in this round up aren't right for my bed but I couldn't help but include them. I love blankets in any shape or form. Plus all of these are from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/?ref=si_home"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">Etsy</span></a>. Support handmade! </div>

I am a bit late with my monthly update of instant pictures. This is sadly the one and only instant pic I took in August! But I love it so much it is ridiculous. This was Nicco's first day of school this year. I love the instant gratification that I get with my Polaroid 300. They are great for capturing sweet memories. I have only had it for about 8 months but we already love to look through the jar and remember our favorite moments. </div>

Nick started a new job this week. WOOT! We are relieved. Even though it seems like this job will just be a stepping stone to the next thing. Sigh. But we are still forever grateful for this opportunity for Nick to work during the day. It is going to take a few weeks to get used to the new schedule. We will be going from 5:30 in the morning until 11 at night most days. Plus I am back to being on my own with the kids all day every day. I keep reminding myself that this is temporary! A minor blip in our lives. I am also feeling amazing gratitude for my wonderful husband! He is so willing so work hard for our family. He blows my mind. Nick having to work so much has also lit the fire under me to get my Etsy shop up and running. I know that it might not make enough money for him to stay home but it will relieve some of the pressure financially. My ultimate goal is for him to be able to be quit his day job and just do UPS at night. I am dreaming big! OH that would be magical. Yes I said magical. So anywho.... I will keep this space up to date with any shop news.</div>

This boy started 1st grade two weeks ago. I was like what? I have a freaking 1st grader?! I know how cliche it is to say but my oh my how the time does fly. He had a rough first day. Poor kid fell at lunch and pretty much cried the rest of the time he was at school. It was less about the hurt and more about being overwhelmed I think. He has been a champ the rest of the time. Well it has gotten better each day at least. HA! He is getting so big. It makes me want to cry and shout for joy at the same time. I have such conflicting feelings about him growing up. Mostly I am happy though! It has been a privilege to be his mother and to watch him grow. </div>

I had a GNO at Bunco this week. I love going to Bunco! It is a great time with awesome ladies. It was invigorating. It is weird how just two hours away from all responsibility can really do you wonders. We have spent some time this week getting Nicco ready for school next week. The summer flew by! I will be happy for the routine that the school year brings but it is a little bittersweet since the boy will be gone all day now at school. Lola is going to miss him just as much as I will. It has been nice and cool in the morning and in the evening lately so we are trying to spend our time outside during those few precious hours. We taught the kids to play bocce. Needless to say many of my evenings have been spent playing it. No news on the job front. Ugh.... job hunting can be really frustrating. We are getting down to the wire and getting a little stressed out. Any advice would be so helpful! We need all the help we can get so if you have any nuggets of wisdom about not only job searching but job finding that would be awesome! </div>

Love <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/81930240/fox-print-baby-leggings-in-cottonspandex?ref=shop_home_active">these fox leggings</a>! Such beautiful fall colors. It has been 95-100 degrees during the day around here so fall seems like a far off thought. The nights have been getting cooler and seem to be a little teaser of what is coming though. YAY!</div>

I love quick projects! I bookmarked <a href="http://candimandi.typepad.com/heres_lookin_at_me_kid/2010/11/scalloped-shorts-diy.html">this DIY scalloped short tutorial</a> from Mandi at <a href="http://makingniceinthemidwest.com/">Making Nice In The Midwest</a> like 3 years ago. I love it now just as much as then. It is great. And fast! However, I unfortunately never wear shorts. But with our recent unemployment I had to get creative with the kids summer clothes. So armed with the tutorial and a pair of jeans to make into jorts I made Lola a pair of scalloped shorts. </div>

I fray-checked the bejeezus out of them! Even with that they frayed quite a bit in the wash. The look isn't bad so I just trim off the long pieces and let it be.</div>

This last week has been a pretty great one! No complaints from me. Except Lola throwing rocks at someones car. That mostly blows because we are still out of a job and now have car repair bills to pay. BOO! Lola was punished and then continued punishing herself about it. Poor girl learned from her mistake big time. All we did was tell her we were disappointed in her and that what she did was wrong. No raised voices even! I remember as a kid that the worse punishments I had was when my parents would sit me down and talk to me like an adult. All I could think was that I would rather have the yelling and screaming. Don't tell me you are disappointed in me! Beat me soundly and put me in my room but please don't TALK to me!! Haha! It seemed to work really well with Lola. Maybe time out is a thing of our past? Yeah I doubt it but maybe we are moving in a great and mature direction. We took the kids to Wheeler Farm this week. It was fun to take them around and see the animals. Nicco told us everything he has learned from being up on our family sheep ranch. He has learned way more than I realized! He loved the bunnies the most. Lola loved the chickens. The kids also got to go to a pool party. That could be a post in itself. The drama, the near deaths! OH man but they had fun.</div>

Last year for my birthday Nick bought me a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-300-Instant-Camera-PIC-300L/dp/B003B2GTY0">Polaroid 300 instant camera</a>. It has been so fun using it! But the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-PIF-300-Instant-Series-Cameras/dp/B003TP03TQ/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_z">film is a little expensive</a> and there is a bit of a learning curve. I am not a photographer by nature so it has been a little extra hard for me. HA! I do love the raw quality you get with it. I also love having a picture in my hand to look at right then. I am all about instant gratification! I want to get to know it better and learn the technique of getting rad pictures with it. So my goal this year is to take a packs worth of pictures every month. </div>

This week has been hot. Like over 100 degrees hot. I wilt in the heat. So we have been hanging out inside a lot. We still managed to head to the park a couple days this week and of course we hit up the library. But other than that nada! I have some fun things we did to post about the next few weeks and hopefully I can get my toush in gear and get it done! We are still on the job hunt. Which is a frustrating process at times but I am staying positive! It has only been 2 and a half weeks so I am not too worried. Not too mention that it has been great to have Nick home again this week. The kids are loving it and so am I! Little blessings. </div>

This week has been so great! Nick lost his job last week which has been a little stressful since we aren't even remotely prepared. We have learned the hard way that there is a reason they say you need savings. So goal number one when a new job is found is to start saving and build it up as quick as possible. <a href="http://andthenwesaved.com/my-spending-diet-guidelines/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Savings diet</span></a> anyone? Oh and pay off debt cause debt blows. So why do I say that the week has been great? We have had Nick home. We are hoping that it doesn't last long but it has been really really lovely having him home. Like a little slice of heaven good. The kids are loving it. Nick and I are able to have conversations that aren't happening in the car on our way from this place to the next. I love it! He is my favorite person after all. Nick is still working at UPS at night so it isn't like we are totally screwed but that doesn't pay the bills yet! We are more lucky than some though. So I am counting my blessings. <br />

I was going to do this post earlier this week but my freaking computer won't download my pictures off the card because it says it can't recognize the file(?). I don't get it so instead you get a generic picture of me. Lame! But real life, right?</div>

I gained 1.4 pounds. Oy. I am actually okay about it now. To say I was slightly upset a few days ago would be a humongous understatement. Which is funny because I actually knew going into the weigh in that I probably gained. That is what happens when you don't follow the program. HA! Funny thing how if you <a href="http://www.weightwatchers.com/index.aspx">do the work</a>, barring any health issues, you will lose weight. It is the whole being disciplined thing that got me. I am a rebel at heart. Which sounds pathetic when I look at it from this point of view. I am rebelling against my own health. That isn't bringing down "the man". It is just getting in the way of my goals and life. I am not sure how to get over that little rebellion. Tell me how!!! Help! </div>

I will say that I don't want to go in there and gain again. Not at all. I feel like I really let myself down. I have the discipline to change. I am just afraid of failing this time like I have so many other times. It hurts to let yourself down. It hurts to know that you are the only one to blame. So why not fail early so it won't hurt so bad? Does that sound ridiculous to anyone else? I deserve better than this body I have created. This is not who I am. I am strong. I am healthy! This body is my past and I am going to start running like hell at the future!</div>

This week is going to be all about tracking. Tracking is basically writing down everything you eat and the points that correlate with those foods. Weeks that I track I rock! And I am ready to rock. I am making a <i>realistic</i> goal of tracking everything for 5 days this week. With at least one of those days to be a weekend day. Weekends are my biggest challenge. </div>
