A Long Time A Coming

Ok, I have been missing in action for a while now and just wanted to catch you up on things..

I have been dealing with a ton of stress and eating from the pantry like crazy. My little man has been 18 days into a tonsiletomy with a trip to the ER 7 days into his first surgery. We've been cooped up, unable to get out of the house, and it has been snowing like crazy. One would be a little stir crazy, which is an understatement for everyone in my family right now - NOT just me!

I was able to get out of the house to get a hair cut and go get some new skinny jeans. I went to New York and Company when they were having there buy one pair get one free sale and I found some really fun jeans. SIZE 8 - I know you can all cheer for me NOW!

So some of the girls that I craft with decided to run in the color run this summer. I debated, debated, and debated! Finally, yesterday I decided what do I have to loose! I ran the Dirty Girl with obstacles last year and this one has NO obstacles! So I am in! I will be running it in August!

So now for the training.....and GO!

The Story Behind the Title

I told my son that I wanted to get rid of all the fat around my belly and get "skinny" and I asked him to help me think of a title for my blog like a title of a book. He said "I don't know what you should call it". Then a couple minutes later out of nowhere he said, "Where's The Skinny".

Then he said, "but where is the skinny" and I said "I don't have the skinny yet but I am going to" and he said "well I am skinny". He always makes me laugh with his innocent remarks and conversations. Then he said it again, "Where's The Skinny". We talked for a little bit longer and then our conversation ended as quick as it started...

I said, "well Mommy had 2 babies and I have extra skin". He said "extra skin" and I said "yes". He said "I don't have extra skin because I don't have a baby" and I said, "that's right only mommy's can have babies". Then I finished up our conversation with "I love your tummy" and he just laughed. And that was the end of that!

So that is how my blog became "Where's The Skinny". I added the Mama!
