Anxious as all get out.

Feeeewww. Well my husband stayed home sick yesterday. We are having AWFUL sand storms here in the high desert of southern California.  He works outside all day, and came home Wednesday sick as a dog, eyes red and itchy, coughing, ect. Poor guy. So Thursday he stayed home sick.  Which I'm glad, but it makes my day a little more stressed if ya know what I mean!

He had a meeting with one of the Pastoral Staff at our church about our future and what the Lord wants us to do.  He got dressed to go to it even though he was sick.  The man he was going to meet with got caught up and very busy so he rescheduled.  :(

I can't talk much about what we are going to be doing, soon hopefully we will be able to announce it. After he talks with the pastoral staff! :)

So, as vague as all that is......I am extremely anxious!

We made several emails and calls yesterday to try to get the ball rolling more, which led to my husband meeting with staff from our college about all this (our bible college is at our church, which is also where my husband works) this morning, and now my husband isn't answering the phone so I don't know what they talked about! Gr.  Theeeeennnn, the church called me, and my husband calls me from the church number from time to time so I answered "hey!!!!" and the lady was like..."um hello?"lol. Not as bad as last week when a guy from church called and I answered "Hey babe!". Gotta stop doing that. 

Didn't work out yesterday.  Made a chocolate cake. I did sneak out to Target by myself. Got a new book, 1st in a series. Called Divergent. Hope it's good.   Not gonna be able to work out today.  Need to finish editing photos, work on my photo website, and do house work. Plus take care of three boys.

"Be careful {anxious} for nothing; but in every thing by prayer  and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Philippians 4:6

Have a blessed weekend!

Stinky weigh in

This Week: 197.5 
I am NOT happy with that.  Earlier in the week my scale said 195.6. No kidding. I weighed twice to make sure, but had a hunch it was off that day. The next day it said 198 again. Then it went down to 197.3 and today 197.5
BOO. 
I would be happy with that, if the wedding wasn't in 8 days! UGH. I need to just forget any expectations I had and do my best.  

Yesterday was my hubby's 30th birthday! He met us at the Farmers Market and I planned on taking him to In & Out Burger for his birthday, but he wouldn't go. He said he's in mourning. Ha. I made him a chocolate birthday cake, made with Greek yogurt (8 oz fat free greek yogurt, cake mix, 1 cup water), topped with homemade chocolate frosting. I had a piece. But I was still under my calories by 400! I went over my diary for this week and noticed I was under my calorie goal (which I just changed to 1950) every day. But I didn't eat as clean.  I've been eating a lot of white carbs....BAD BAD BAD!  Today and tomorrow aren't going to be any better though. 
We have a gift card to BJ's and are celebrating my hubby's bday tonight, then tomorrow is his big surprise party at my house!!! (Hence the early post, must clean house!) And yes I am throwing him another surprise party because this one is all our friends and more of a surprise. :) 

The other day I asked my Mom if she could make me a dress for the wedding.  She said she would just buy me one, isn't that so sweet :) love my Mama.  So I went dress shopping the other day just to see if I found any and I liked these two. But I'm not crazy about them. What do you think? 

This was at Forever 21. Yes the dreaded store. The have a plus size section! A small one though. I wear their XL.  I tried on skinny jeans just for fun. He he. I wanted to see what size pants I am.  I thought I grabbed an 18, and they fit perfect.  When I took them off and looked closer, they were a 16! That was cool. Although I would really like to be a 14 again. 

I need to not go crazy with food tonight or tomorrow.  Must stay focused! 

Love, The Curvy Housewife
