"Take these dispatches and..."

Well, I'm not particularly awake yet, so forgive the typos, please ladies...

Sometime back (I think before Aria was born), I had offered to dispatch for our local volunteer Fire Department. DH was leutenant at the time and said he'd talk it over with the chief. Long story short, because the chief was in town during the day, we didn't need a dispatcher, he could do it.

Three months ago, our chief was medically retired. DH is now Assistant Chief. The chief came to him and asked if my previous offer was still good.

Well, at this point, I have a two and a half year old, and a one year old, and I'm babysitting a four year old child who is very high needs. I tell DH I will think about it. One night, they get some kind of call right before dinner time, leaving me to deal with kids, walking the dog, and doing the things that are normally his responsibility in the evening, plus cook dinner and bathe the kids etc (you ladies know the drill). My DH is a wonderful helper at home and I'm quite frankly spoiled by that! So that night I "pretend" that I'm also having to handle dispatch, and realize that it's not such a hot idea.

Fast forward to Monday the 23rd. Right now we have fifteen firefighters on our roster. Usually, however, it's the same three or four guys who go out on almost every single call. Most of our guys work traditional day time schedules, so there aren't many people here from about 7ish am to about 6ish pm, cause the jobs are all 30 or more miles away. I get a phone call from the Sheriff (the actual guy, not a deputy or one of his underlings) and he's ticked off. Seems there's a fire in our district, and he's been toning us out for the last hour and no one has responded. He tells me I'm the first live person he's gotten and can I please find him some firefighters and get him an updated call sheet. "Yes, Sir" says I, a little intimidated (to which my husband would be shocked). So I pull the call sheet off the fridge and start calling firefighters and get four on the scene. I tell DH "I guess you better get me a radio."

So he brings me a radio and dashes out the door with a half frozen turkey sandwich. I start listening in but no one calls. No big deal, because I have no idea what in the world I'm doing!!!

So I call our administrative assistant. She does the office work for 2 days a week, and is assistant chief and back up dispatch for the neighboring district. Tell her the Sheriff needs a call sheet and I need dispatch lessons. We agree to talk after she fixes dinner and I get babies down. She gives me a crash course in dispatch.

Now, the entire reason I turned down dispatch is because of my "worst case scenario." Dinner is being cooked, babies are fussy cause they're hungry or whatever, I don't have any bigs here to help, and something major happens.

So Tuesday dawns, and I actually get to get on the radio, to ask the guys who are watching for flare ups from Monday's fire if they are going to need to refill the water trucks, so the town can make the extra water available. I take care of that, and do my normal mommy stuff. Do it more efficiently and at a faster pace because I have no idea what may happen down the road.

DH comes home a little early, so he can get on the scene of the fire and do an assessment, so I put dinner on early-something easy because I don't know what is going to happen with the fire. I made spaghetti sauce earlier in the CP and bread in the machine, all I had to do was deal with the meat and pasta.

Now, Aria, now 15 months old, is teething, so she's been fussy all day. Roan is moderately fussy, mostly due to his being 2 and wanting his way all the time. I'm walking into the kitchen to drain the pasta, and the radio goes off. So I'm in the midst of cooking dinner (and risking icky overcooked pasta with not enough to replace it if I ruin it), dealing with fussy babies, the dog needs to go out, it's raining, and I need to dispatch a smoke report. It's my first darn day on the job and already my worst case scenario has happened!

Well, I did it. Not only did I do it (thankfully it was only a smoke chase, it's hazy cause we have three fires nearby) but I did a pretty good job, according to my DH and the lady who trained me, who called to tell me I was doing an awesome job. The oldest kid I have at home right now, Nikki, who is 7, stepped up and did a great job at helping, too!

So I guess I'm a working mommy. Still home, but working. I'm trying to get things done earlier, because I never know when the radio will take me away from that stuff. But if I have all the dinner prep done early, it will save me time in the evenings. Also planning on double cooking a lot of things and taking a day a month to put some extra food in the freezer so I can just pull stuff out if something happens near dinner time.

There are some benefits-#1 is that with a local dispatcher, my husband will be safer. The other guys as well, but of course, my primary concern lies at home. I'll have life insurance, and we get a small incentive bonus for every call we work on, so every call I dispatch I will get a small amount of money for, paid in one check in December. Plus DH gets a "recruitment bonus" for me "joining" the FD. That will help our family out a lot. Life insurance for me has been a concern in our family-if something happens to me, DH would have to pay childcare so he could work. Now that huge need will be taken care of.

So now to figure out how to juggle all of this LOL.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

My apologies for not being here the last few weeks.

Life has been...strange. But strange in a good way.

I have been posting over at Mrs. S., and my next several posts will be copies of what was posted there.

All I know right now is that God is indeed good.

Read on, dear friends, and enjoy the ride...I have been.

Quick weight loss notes

Another inch and a half off my waist. Instead of being that firmly fat round looking belly that made me look pregnant all the time, it's becoming umm jello like I guess is what I want to say. It's jiggly. I can only attribute this to fat cells breaking down. Now I"m thinking about things like skin removal further on down the road LOL.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the state of my weight loss so far, except that I haven't gotten to do much actual exercise. Of course, we are all adjusting to new schedule with Larry finally working again, new chore lists and two of the kids being gone and doing other things. And that energy sapping heat that we normally get in July has started full force in June because we had such a dry spring. I try to get on in the mornings but just haven't made it a habit yet. Getting there, though.

I am slacking on portion control, so this is something I also need to work more on. I have been doing really well on not eating late, though.

As I've stated, this is not a diet, it's changing our lifestyle. We already cook mostly natural, home made foods, and we try not to put processed foods into our meal plans. This is done both for cost and health reasons. For example, even though we have carb heavy meals due to our budget issues, we don't have overweight children. This is due partly to lack of "junk" foods, serving of plenty of fruits and veggies (they may be canned, but it's better than junk), and also to not having a lot of inside play options. Instead of a playstation, TVs or computers in every room, my kids are out riding bikes and playing Star Wars outside.

But we, as all families do, still have some tweaking to do. We can always find something more to do for our health, and the changes we are making here are definitely a step in the right direction.

Amish Bread Link and Uses

Ok, the Amish Bread recipe is located here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Amish-Bread/Detail.aspx

This recipe is, indeed good for sandwiches, as long as you let the bread cool completely before slicing (!!). I decided to stop buying sandwich bread at the store and went on a mission to find a good sandwich bread. I found some really yummy bread recipes along the way at allrecipes.

In addition to sandwiches, I used it, thickly sliced, the other morning for french toast. It turned out pretty well, although you do need a little more oil to cook it in (or cook in butter so you can get the buttery taste without adding butter when it's done to keep down the fat).

I do experience bread failure with this recipe when the humidity is very low, but in trying to figure out what the problem was, I found this nifty site http://www.moldova.org/retete/eng/85/1162/ which suggested watching the first few minutes of the knead cycle to evaluate my dough and add water if necessary in low humidity (we often get down to 4 or 5 % humidity here).

It's also yummy with dinner, although it DOES NOT slice well warm, so you will need to make first then reheat in the oven or use a different recipe with dinner. We have bread at just about every dinner to stretch things, as I'm sure most of you can agree with!

I do NOT do the extra rise as mentioned in the recipe, as I often make my bread over night.

This week's weight loss report

I lost 1 1/2 inches around my waist!

That's awesome considering that I kind of blew my diet this weekend. I had these hormonal cravings and was so tired and generally had the attitude of "It's the first few days of my cycle, it's early, I'm crabby and hormonal, yes, I'll have extra mashed potaotes!"

Not the best attitude, but again, we're talking lifestyle changes. These will not happen overnight, and hormonal attitude changes are probably the hardest to change.

If I can expect that for two days every month my diet will get a little wonky (just like I have to accept that for two days every month only the bare necessities will get done around the house) then I can prepare for it and do a bit of extra work a few days before and after.

I truly believe that cutting so much sugar out of my diet is really leading to positive changes in my life. I have more energy, the weight loss of course, and my skin is looking better. I calculate that by gradually cutting the amount of sugar in my tea in half, I'm saving over 10000 calories a week over what I was consuming before I started this.

I did have a blood sugar crash yesterday, but I truly forgot to eat breakfast. I made the kids oatmeal for breakfast, planning for myself to have a piece of chicken. Was feeding Aria, then getting ready to walk to the store so we could do it before it got too hot. Walking to the store was fine (downhill all the way). Immediately upon the walk back up I realized what I had done when I started getting that icky feeling. Made it home, had some juice, and was doing OK by lunch time.

My exercise bike arrived late last week. I've been on it twice and plan to get on when I get done here. Right now I'm doing three miles a day. Takes less than 15 minutes, start to finish. It would take me hours to walk three miles with the kidlets in tow. It's old and ugly and the timer doesn't work, but it does the job. With this being garage sale season, if you need something like this, now is a good time to look. Add walking to run any errands you can, and those become "bonus miles".

Everyone have a great week!

Things I've Learned This Week

Naptime + Roofers = Fussy Kidlets

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is tempting, no matter what

Roofers make you happy when Friday at 4:00 gets here

You can get a LOT of cleaning done in a messy room with 15 minutes of uninterrupted time

My Dear Husband is so the man

I’m OK with Aimee going off to work for five weeks this summer-which means I’m OK with her growing up. In fact, I’m learning to love the glorious woman that she is becoming. What a joy to see our children transform, before our very eyes, into wonderful, responsible adults

There has been a coup! Nikki is no longer the Drama Queen. Aria has taken over, forcibly wrenching the crown from Nikki’s hands-that’s either a sign of Nikki’s continuing maturity or a sign that Aria is going to be, well, a handful

Trying to clean out the refrigerators before the trash truck gets here is often an exercise in futility

Random Thoughts on Weight Loss

Well, it's been a week. I went back and forth over whether to post this on my blog, and it took me a few days to go forward with that.

First, many thanks to Joyful Dreamer who suggested that I snack on protein instead of saltines and applesauce. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, and will be implementing your suggestion.

So, last week I cut 1/4 cup of sugar out of my tea. I drink a lot of tea-as discussed earlier, our water is flavorful, LOL, so there we go. Tea is a better option for me to stay hydrated. And it's actually fairly weak-two tea bags per gallon. We live in the high desert, so even just hanging around the house, hydration is an issue. The air sucks every last bit of water out of you some days, so we try to drink a lot. Anyway, but cutting out 1/4 cup of sugar, I cut out 3 1/2 cups of sugar. Just doing that, I consumed over 5000 LESS calories than the week previous. I cut out another 1/4 cup this week, and added an herbal tea bag for flavor (peppermint). Didn't even notice the loss.

I also instituted portion control. When I started, this was working fairly well for breakfast and lunch, not so much for dinner. But last night at dinner, I got about 1 cup of casserole, plus a small amount of bread. And, following my rules, had to wait at least 15 minutes before going back for more. Well that 15 minutes turned into way more because kidlets started finishing their dinners and had to be cleaned up, and, well, the long and short of it is that I didn't need more. Now, this morning I'm ravenous, but that's OK. That means my body used up all of the food I consumed, that I digested well because I didn't eat anything too late.

Exercise, well, that area has lacked a bit more than I wanted it to. I think I've walked twice this week-but once was pushing kidlets in the stroller plus 40 pounds of potatoes in the basket (on sale). About a mile there, 1/2 of it pushing the potatoes home. DH went with me and offered to push several times, but I made it all the way home. Was useless the rest of the day, because it was hotter weather than I usually walk in, and I didn't drink enough while walking. And my arms were sore the next day. My stroller needs a front end alignment! The second walk was an hour or so through Trinidad. The bigs were invited to a birthday party in town, and DH had some stuff to do, so the littles and I took the stroller and played tourist. We have lived down here for seven years and I have never walked the main street of the beautiful historic town that we live 30 minutes away from. It was nice. I found this gorgeous little shop tucked away on a side street and spent a few minutes there, admiring all the pretties.

I did not, however, do much more exercise than that. There are various reasons, but I just didn't get it done. Time is a factor. Going on a walk takes about 40 minutes total prep time. In the mornings I'm doing other stuff (including sitting here way too much!) and doing any kind of workout during the day means I have kidlets crawling all over me. Ever done crunches with a 2 year old bouncing on your stomach? It's an adventure! But, on the bright side, we are getting an exercise bike from a friend who got a new one. So I can dedicate some time to that every day and then jump on whenever I have a few spare minutes. Will be much easier to dedicate 20 minutes than an hour for a walk plus 40 minutes of prep!

The biggest benefit I saw this week was increased energy. We slept late on the weekend, instead of getting up by the alarm. Huge change for me. But I got 8 hours of sleep for the first time in probably three years. Of course, Sunday night, the baby was up a lot, so I got maybe 4 hours of very broken sleep (I think she's teething). But Monday I had ENERGY. I didn't need a cat nap. I got my entire to do list done (possibly due to our new chore lists). I was amazed that I had so much energy on so little sleep. Last night I got my normal sixish hours and can't wait to see everything I get done! I really think that cutting out the sugar helped, as I didn't have as many sugar crashes. Well, I never got to feeling shaky and wobbly-because I was consuming less sugar, I didn't have as much of a sugar high to come down from.

I was NOT cranky or crabby (except for a bit of PMS-so we'll say not OVERLY cranky or crabby). But I firmly believe that implementing changes slowly is the name of the game. After all, I am trying to change a lifestyle here. We all know that dieting doesn't work. Curbing your eating habits for a few days or weeks or months and then going back to what you were doing before just means you're going to gain the weight back. You have to make life long changes, and that is what I'm trying to do. And if you try to do those quickly, you get really frustrated and often give up. If there is a medical emergency, and you have a doctor telling you that you have to do this or die, well, that's a bit motivating, but I don't have a medical emergency. I'm changing my lifestyle BEFORE it gets to that point. Then I don't have to do it fast and hard.

So, on to the bottom line. How much did I lose? Honestly, I don't know. I don't have a scale. I weighed myself at a friend's house last week, and haven't had the opportunity to go back. I will get a scale as soon as we are financially able, but right now that is a luxury item (DH is still job hunting). But, I lost half an inch around my waist. I don't know if that is a lot. I don't know if that is a little. But, it's something. It's encouragement. I lost something! I guess, if I carry that out over the time of my goal, I will lose seven inches by September 5. That is more than 10% of the inches in my waist. Again, I don't know if that's good, but it will certainly be a positive weight loss. In a quick search this morning I can't find a correlation of how many inches you should lose in a week. I did find a study that showed people lost an average of 2 inches over a four week period, so it looks like my half inch is decent, according to that article.

Have more to write, but have to go fix breakfast and such.

Thank you, God, for the strength to make these healthy changes for our family!
