Journey of Working Wife and Mother of two busy kids on Weight Watchers

My name is Brandi and I am a new blogger so please don't have any high expectations. I have decide to start blogging because I happen to have two hours of "free" time while I wait on my kids to practice in they're sport of choice. In the past I have walked during the practice but lately it has been too hot and I feel deprived of nutrition being just starting Weight Watchers. This diet isn't difficult and it allows plenty of food I am just being very careful of what I'm eating and that's why right now I am starving!!I have always struggled with my weight and now that 36 is just around the corner it has become even more difficult to stay on target.I have 2 kids we will just call them Jane who is going on 15(oh no) and Joe who is going on 12.So this morning was pretty typical of others, my alarm sounded at 5:45am and as usual not being a morning person, I hit snooze 3 times finally dragging myself out of bed by 6:00.My husband usually makes coffee(which in my opinion is way to weak, but I am thankful)but he is off today so I stumble to let the dogs out(2 rat terriers) to potty, start the coffee and then slowly make my way to the shower.My shower went way faster than I had wanted, I let the dogs in grabbed coffee, kissed the kid that was on the couch bye and headed off to work.As I said I have begun weight watchers again so I had prepared a bag of food to eat for the day.I finally got hungry around 8:00 so I had my so delicious(sarcastic) apple (2points) and got back to work. Oh yea I am a dental assistant so at times when a patient cancels or our schedule isn't properly filled I have time to eat etc.The morning went by slow because we only had a few patients, but finally lunch time. I had a yogurt for snack earlier (2 points) but again I am  starving.So I inhaled my juicy salad and 10 baby carrots then took my usual 45 minuted "power" nap.As I was waking up the hygienist who is also my friend arrived with a surprise chick filet brownie( 7 points)for me. Well of course I quickly gobbled that down being in desperate need of sugar, brushed my teeth and got back to the patients. The afternoon flew by as I had a sugar high to keep me happy. I left work at 4:30 and made the 30 minute drive home. When I walked into the kitchen I found my husband ( who had been off for the day) preparing a chicken and dumpling concoction with egg noodles WTH?But again I an thankful although I inform him that I only have 7 points left so I will be eating roasted zucchini. Only being home for five minuted I prepare the zucchini, change clothes,and instruct my son to get dressed for baseball practice. Thirty minutes later we are on our way to baseball practice and 30 minutes more we arrive.Now I am here writing my account of the day and am about to die of a heat stroke.It is 88 degrees out but feels 100 with the 190% humidity and I look lovely with natural curly hair. Yikes! So I hope someone will enjoy my tale of my crazy life and post back if yours is crazy too!
