Update on this is going to be fun
So last Friday we went to the Academy for the family day and it went really well. Firstly because we went out Thurs and stayed in a hotel so that the children wouldn't be stir crazy from 4 hours in the van. And secondly because they did plan on having small children there.
In the afternoon when most of the classes that I had to attend took place, several of the teachers took the children and they played games, went to a museum that is on the base, and watched movies. So I only had Tavis for most of the afternoon and he just nursed and played quietly. They brought Nahli to me when she got cranky and then Nahli laid herself down on the floor and went to sleep. Everyone was so helpful and understanding about the littles.
It was cute, when we got to watch Tony in his Defensive Tactics class all the children (not just mine) were yelling "hi, daddy, look there's my daddy." and the teacher was laughing at how cute they all were. And then when they were practicing the tactics K and N thought it was hilarious and were laughing so hard that all the adults were chuckling too.
We also had a good NIP experience there. I was nursing little T early in the morning and one of the teachers asked me if I needed a towel or anything and I just said, "no thanks, I'm fine." and he said ok like it was no big deal. Of course at the Police Academy you would expect them to know the laws about such a thing, and here in Iowa our right to nurse in public is protected.

Weight Loss Wed
I'm posting this a day late because I was too busy yesterday to even look at the computer. I did however, have time to weigh both last week and this.
Last Wed the 10th I weighed 184.4ish. Yuck, a huge gain.
But yesterday I was back down to 180.4 so a 4 pound loss. WoooHooo!!!

This is going to be fun
Next Friday there is going to be a family day thing at the Police Academy and they want all of the families to attend.
Sounds good, right?
Sure we'll come. I'll drive 2.5-3 hours to the Academy to arrive at 9:30 with all 5 kids, by myself, it'll be great.
But wait, I just found out more, it starts at 9:30 and we will be in a classroom listening to a lecture for a while,
A LECTURE????? Umm, this is a family thing, right? They know that your kids are coming?
So they expect small children to sit quietly and listen to a lecture?
And then after a lecture we get to observe a class with Tony in it doing defensive tactics. Observe A Class.
With a 2 year old who hasn't seen her daddy in 5 days. Yeah, you bet.
So I had a bright idea. I'll get one of these http://tinyurl.com/2zcub7
Yeah that'll go over well. Nahli has no problem making herself heard. I can see it now. I put that thing on her and her voice raises to levels that only dogs can hear. She's screaming at the top of her lungs, "Yet do a me! Yet do a me! YET DO A ME!!!" (let go of me)
Crap, I have 5 kids 8 and under and they expect us to sit through a lecture and then watch Tony from the sidelines. This thing is to last from 9:30 until 4. And Tony doesn't get to join us until lunch time. After a really long drive to get there. After I have to get them up earlier than they EVER get up. With NO nap.
Oh HELP.
So Tony asks his parents if they will come.
Nope, they don't want to.
ARRRRGGGGHHHH
please................. anyone................help..................

Weight Loss Wed a day late
I did weigh yesterday but had such a busy day didn't have a chance to blog about it.
I gained again, because I didn't take the time to exercise.
I am 179.8. So not a huge gain, but a gain all the same.
On the eliminating dairy front I am doing very well and even the children are on board, sort of. LOL When we go to the store they say, "Can we have this? Does it have milk in it?" And when I say it has milk they just groan and put it back. I may keep them off dairy for the rest of their lives just so I don't have to deal with the begging in the store. Do you think they'd believe that the video game they want has dairy in it? Yeah, I didn't think so....
