New Challenge

I have decided to get myself motivated and get back into shape and lose weight. To help me on my journey I have decided to use the Weight Watchers program. I feel it will keep me motivated and give me the support and accountability that I need to lose and then KEEP OFF these extra (EXTRA) lbs=) So when I start driving you all crazy counting "points" or I turn down seconds or dessert you all know why and can hold me to it. You may also notice a "ticker" lower on the blog page, that is for the embarrassment factor and to keep me motivated. Thank you all in advance for your support!! In other news... About a week ago Alaina apparently stuffed some foam from a dollar store football up her nose. It had sat up there in her sinus cavity festering and making things ooze and stink until her brilliant mother finally figured out that it wasn't Alainas HANDS that stank so bad ("Allie, don't touch me your hands stink , go wash them" the kid now has freakishly CLEAN hands) it was, in fact, her BREATH. This morning it hit me, having been through this vicariously with Rhiannon and Tristan, what was wrong. Conversation between me and the culprit:

Question:Alaina what did you shove up your nose?

Answer:Foam from Trevs football, I tried to get it out but it was WAY up there(demonstrates with finger up nose). And now it hurts.

So off to the doc we go (this morning). He sends us to an ENT doc in Lethbridge (this afternoon) and the upshot is that tomorrow Aliana gets day surgery to remove an undisclosed amount of foam from her sinus cavity. Things are never boring around here=)
