I'm not a loser... for this week at least

I skipped the weigh in this week for two reasons

after last week I was afraid I would punch the lady in the face (explanation here) 

and we were out of town anyway. 

On Friday night we loaded up the kids, put on the portable DVD players and started the 3 hour drive to my mom's house. 

One hour in Chip decided he hated life and wanted to scream and kick the back of my seat for the next hour. 

Two hours in Mabel was passed out and Chip was laughing at the "scary" part in the Little Mermaid where Ursula grows big.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to laugh along or call and schedule to get my tubes tied. 

I have had baby fever for awhile now, but it's just not in the cards for us... yet. 

I'm okay with that as I'm working on me right now. 

To tie me over I have been obsessing over baby names. 

We, and by we I mean I, love older names. 

We also do two first names for each of our kids. You know cause we're hillbilly rednecks...

Mabel Joan was named after both of my grandmothers

Chip Douglas was named after both of our fathers.

While we love all the other people in our lives, we don't love their names. 

Is that wrong? 

Some names I have in the front running (which my husband doesn't love any of them) are

Girl                                                      Boy

Merritt                                            Leo

Betsy                                             Calvin

Ethel                                              

Hattie 

Boys names are so much harder. 

Thankfully we have some time. 

So as far as the weekend goes, the weather was freezing, the company was good, the break was well needed.
