Lost a Kara...

This morning after stepping on the scale and doing a little math I figured out that since I began losing weigh in March, I have now officially lost a Kara. You see Kara weighs 34 pounds and I now have lost 34 pounds. So now I am trying to imagine strapping kara on to me and putting on my clothes. Not cute... Its much better now.:)

Whats going on at the Gurleys house?

I am so excited for my lawn! Look its growing!
Jason likes it too!
Here is Kara asleep in her bed. Kara likes to tuck all of her toys in with her. The half naked fake barbie/bratz doll was a prize from going to the convince store with Tim. The legs arms and head all fell off in the first 10 minutes providing laughs. As well as the cop car that Jason got that's bumper, wing and hub caps fell off of.
Otherwise our house is pretty calm, we are just waiting for the Giants game tomorrow night! So far undefeated! I will unfortunately be working Monday night football at work during the game, but at least I get to wear my Jersey. So if you want $2 ribs come see me:).
My injury is getting better, although it doesn't look as bad as Jenni's I have put the picture up for everyone to see. I hope that by Tuesday it will be good enough to run on again. (doubtful) So ideas for workouts that do not involve using you right foot alot will be welcomed. The little spot is a blood blister that is one of the most painful parts!
Ah and me and the kids as we were waiting for the cowboys game to get over (yes they lost!) so we could go eat dinner.

Injured!

So did you know that it is possible to go from total excitement (got the kids a swing set at a yard sale for $25) to total pain? (stepping of the curb to get back in your car and hurting your ankle.)
Right now I am just praying for it to be good enough to get through work tonight. I need the money!
Funny I was just running this morning and thinking about how strong my legs have become and that my ankles haven't bothered me in years ( I have always had easily twisted ankles since I crashed my brothers go kart and sprained them both)....
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Not to mention that this could throw a wrench in my workouts. Well on the bright side, I don't think its broken. Pray for fast healing:)

Kara has an "Idea"

You may or maynot know that Kara is the queen of ideas. Everyday, we have the same conversation on the way home from the gym,....
Kara- Mommy I have and Idea.....
Me- Kara what is your idea
K- You can take a shower (cause i am all sweaty from the gym) Jason can take a nap, I will watch cartoons and we will go somewhere fun!
M- Oh...(its the same idea everyday)
K- Mommy say thats a great idea.
M- Kara thats a great Idea!
K- Thank you mommy!

Six Flags part deux....

This last Sunday my Mom and I took the kids back to six flags to make good use of our season passes. Adam and Traci came with us! We had such a fun day! I was glad that Adam came because he kindof looked after Kara alot while I took care of Jason. Then we went down and stayed at his house and went to the mall the next day.
They love the rides
Jason fell asleep like this...
