I Came SO Close To Cheating

Our oldest two kids are at their Dad's house

for the first part of the Summer.

And our youngest two have been at their

Grandmothers house for the past week.

So we have been Kid Free for the 

first time in 12 years!!

They come back next weekend.

Since this was our last Kid Free weekend

in who knows HOW long, I wanted to do something

DIFFERENT. 

Something we would NEVER normally do. 

Something FUN and EXCITING!

 I had told my husband I wanted to do something

CRAZY.  

Like get drunk

and smoke cigarettes. 

But being on a diet...

Alcohol was out of the question.

And I don't smoke. 

Sometimes You Just Have to Eat Cake

I have NOT been doing well this week.

My mom sent me home with her White Peach Home-made Ice Cream, and I can't stay out of it.  It is sooo freaking good! Not to mention all the left over Chocolate Birthday Cake from Lauren's party.

Food wise, I'm not doing too bad.  There is one small piece of cake left which the kids will devour today, and maybe 2 bowls of the Ice-Cream left.  Once that is gone,  it will be better.

I did some swimming this weekend, but not the workout kind of swim.  I haven't worked on any cheers in a while.  With all the kids here, it was impossible to.  But I need to start working on coming up with some more cheers, which will be a good workout.  It was last time.

I'm not beating myself up about eating cake and ice-cream.  Sometimes in life.....you just have to eat Birthday cake.....Enjoy a bowl of ice-cream now and then.

Just..... not everyday.
