Good morning, high blood pressure and anxiety ridden Steph here. I'm under a tremendous amount of stress and as a result my body is freaking out. How fun for me, right? There's nothing horrible going on in my life, just lots of changes.

We're making some changes financially that I know will be good for our family. Starting yesterday we've gone cash only for many of our day to day purchases. Also, we have started building up an emergency fund for those things that, you know, shouldn't really be emergencies because life always happens and we should always be prepared. Adios debt and hello saving!

Cole finished swimming lessons and has requested that his next extra curricular activity be golf. I think we'll stick to t-ball for now and explore that option later.

As far as tv goes, I really don't like Glee much anymore. This week was miles better than last week's boring episode. I just don't know if I will keep watching. The New Girl and Up All Night are pretty great shows that I will be watching for sure, along with my faves Modern Family and Parks and Recreation.

I haven't reached my goal weight yet. I keep yo-yoing up a pound, down a pound. I'm only three pounds away dangit! I'm not giving up, I just need one less stressor. I'm still on weight watchers, just maintaining. So I scheduled a facial for next week and I'm going to reward myself for making it this far.

The kids got their school pictures this week. I will scan them and post them for ya'll to see. I think Cole's need to be retaken. He thinks it's funny to smile with no teeth, I don't think it's quite so hilarious.

I love all my friends. Wish you were closer and that I had a nicer camera and/or the will to take pictures of my life so you can see it. My house will never be clean enough to post pictures of. If you want to see it, come visit me. :)

If I were a disney character today I would be Eeyore. And my tail would be missing.
