My Girlfriends!

Well my 3 months of working out 4 days a week has finally reached its end. On Friday we leave for Mexico. Im very thankful that I found my personal trainer, Brandon, and that he continued to push me. Am I bikini ready? Oh hell no. But I did loose close to two sizes. So now Im in a size 10 pant, size 8 skirts and medium top. Wahooo. I went bathing suit shopping and felt good knowing that I worked hard and did my best. I have muscles now that were hidden under all that "energy" and I can do push ups! So Im quite pleased how I stuck with my program and did my best.

Ever since I came home from the UK at Christmas I have suffered from non-stop sinus infections. Multiple doses of antibiotics but it always came back. So I went to the Dr. on Tuesday and she gave me 3 more weeks of antibiotics (x2 a day) and in two weeks I will see a surgeon about what to do next. Of course having a sinus infection and flying is quite painful. So Im having anxiety about that.. but it wont stop me from going to Mexico.

This past weekend we were very busy. 4th of July we met a group of friends at the Lafayette Reservoir and had a great day out in the "wilderness". Then on Saturday we got a babysitter and headed out to Claudia's birthday extravaganza. I drank WAY too much.. but Sam drank twice as much as me. lol.. So Its was quite funny to watch. Loved hanging out with all my girlfriends as well!! And always fun celebrating a friends birthday. On Sunday, Keith watched the children and we finally had moments of freedom. So we went to the Yacht club and had drinks out on the deck. My god, anything without the kids can feel so relaxing... so I lived it up.

My house is in the process of being sold right now. I have to offers and we are waiting for the bank to approve them. Once that happens we will be moving out, which will most likely be in two months. In a way I will be happy to leave the house. Too many memories of the ex.

So speaking of the ex. The judge has all my paperwork and Im praying for a signature ASAP to sign off on my divorce. What a pain all that was. They (courts) are so incredibly picky and if you miss one little box on a form that will set you back almost a month. I will happy when this is all over. Plus I will be changing my name back to my maiden name... Sabatini.

Kids are doing really well. They love their nanny and I enjoy having her at our house. They say very funny things and sometimes I get concerned when I see Andrew trying to eat a bug, etc. But Im doing my best with them and they receive a lot of love. Children are with me 24 x7 with their father visiting them once a week. Dont ask my why he only see's them once a week. Im beyond frustrated with him.

As for the Hamster title, Brandon told me that my hamstrings where going to hurt today. Well with my sinus infection, lack of oxygen to my brain, I thought he said my Hamsters were going to hurt. I thought about what he said and just thought.. yah.. My Hamsters are going to hurt. It all made sense in my mind. Concerning isnt it?? :)

Happy Week! Pray I do not get eaten by the Great White. I choose blue colored bathing suits with white accents. This way I look more like a dolphin than a seal. Smart!
