scattered, covered, smothered and chunk'd

I had to cut my hair before I reached my goal! Gasp I know. Why? Two reasons: 1^st Addie and Tyler shared their LICE with me (not nice of them right?) 2^nd I was getting migraine headaches a lot (3 times one week) I asked the doctor if there was something  I could do and she said cut your hair. See I had a doctor’s note to cut my hair, hehe! I am also happy to say we are all lice free.

As for my weight you ask? I am just flying in a holding pattern. We are still looking for a house and I am praying we find the right one soon and I can get back on a schedule that will work better for me. I thrive on a schedule and routine. When this is interrupted I feel scattered, covered, smothered and chunk'd! (Waffle House anyone?) So the number one house on our list today is pictured below and it is NOT a foreclosure!

UPDATE: The house went under contract this morning before we even got to see it:( So here we go looking again!

Ok so now that my hair is cut ever so short I need a new goal, any ideas? 

House, Wheat, Camping, and Bags

It has been 3 weeks since I have blogged! The day after my last post we found out we did not get the 1st house we wanted and had bid on. So we have been looking and have found an even better home (pictured above) than the 1^st. We placed a bid the following day after we found out we lost the 1^st house. So it has been a long wait to see if the bank will accept our bid. We have offered the full asking price and to pay all closing cost. Phillip and I fasted last Sunday to know from Heavenly Father if this is where he wants us. We spent a few hours around the house last Sunday. We prayed in the drive way, located the local stores, and just tried to know if this was right for us. We were sure we would have found something out last week!! NO SUCH LUCK! Honestly, I am so stressed about all this waiting I am in physical pain. Today I even had a migraine headache and had to miss church. I love church and I really enjoy teaching Sunday School.

I have a doctor’s visit tomorrow afternoon to see if there might be something else going on and to check on my new medicine. She also wants to see how I am doing without wheat. This has been one of the worst food allergies for me. It makes us plan more meals at home and pack lunches. So it has been kinda hard with us being so busy. So if you have any recipes that are wheat/gluten free and would like to share with me that would awesome. I never realized how much food contains wheat!  So the issues I had with the wheat in my diet have improved 100%. I am sure when we know we have a house to move my stress will decrease and so will my pain. (if you don’t know already I have fibromyalgia)

A couple of weeks ago we were so busy with the house hunting we had to cancel our week long trip to the beach and just went camping in Forsyth Ga for a weekend. It is near the place where they filmed the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes”! We even were able to eat at the Whistle Stop Café. They had good BBQ. We had so much fun. We roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the fire.

I have also decided that I love bags so much that I should try and make a few bucks by selling Thirty-One Gifts. So now you can just call me your personal bag lady. They have a great special this month. (see picture) The company offers great hostess products and who does not need a bag for church, school, beach, pool, and kids! So let me know if you want more information. I can even travel to your home if you want to have a get together. (aka a reason to visit with you and get a new bag to boot) Plus, with Phillip not able to work we can really use the an extra few bucks and bags.

Coming soon an update on my weight loss and the issues I am having with my hair!
