Saturday............oh what bliss

Turns out the jerk Monday was only the beginning of what proved to be one of the most maddening weeks I can remember. One thing after another! Even a stupid dog attack.........geez. But now it is over and we are headed to the indoor water park for some fun with our kids. Brenna has talked about this trip for a month now and today is the day. The kids from churh are excited too. Can anything really replace the joy of children?

Have a great weekend.

(Hey Monday, I'll be watchin' you!)

Hello Monday.......Jerk

What a rough morning! Actually, it was preluded by Sunday evening when I found out Jacob had hurt his dad's feelings by being disrespectful and I couldn't say "Welcome to my world." I've only been dealing with this for 7 years and 5 months. Suck it up pal if you're not going to do anything about it.

The snoring! Oh that horrible snoring! I got next to no sleep which made the fight with Brenna over her socks even more dramatic than usual. She finally made it to mom's to catch the bus, but apparently was a bear there too. Geez!

Then I arrive at work. Okay....I'll stay busy, the day will fly by, and I'll go home and bury my head. Wait! What's this? Is that part of the design wall off the hanger? The same wall that apparently jumped right out and broke Connie's fingernail the other day when I forgot to hang it back up after fighting with our stupid server so we could work? It can't be........she wouldn't take it down and leave it after whining to me for 2 hours about her nail and if I would have hung it back up that never would have happened! For crying out loud!

So hello Monday.......you Jerk!

Let's talk about Things.......

I had a very good time with my friends whom I love dearly this weekend. We played a hilarious game which would seem to be pretty innocent. About midway through I managed to backslide and just felt awful. I believe it was then that my head began to pound, but by the end of the evening I had repented and taken two tylenol.......aw back on the straight and narrow. I opted to let Lee drive thinking I'd shut my eyes and let the tylenol kick in. That was a mistake. I barfed before we got out of the city limits of Springfield, but I did feel better. Despite the discussions I had been involved in earlier, I slept like a rock when I got home.

Sunday morning I felt fine and church was so good. The spirit of God just filled the place, and the fellowship with Him was so sweet. Who wouldn't want to be in fellowship with Him? I'm so thankful for my church family.

All in all I had a great weekend! Hope you did too.

I don't like to Bragg....

I've decided to add 2 tablespoons of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar to my daily routine in addition to the hula dancing and walking. This was day one.......gonna have to dilute the vinegar. Mama is that stuff tart!

Stay tuned.......

HULA

Brenna and I finally had a chance to try the hula dvd.....ever had your hiney kicked by the hula? However, it was fun and I can feel the burn today......so I got some good out of it. I do okay until I have to go up and down, side to side,fan my arms, and wiggle my hips in one smoothe motion......note to self, take dramamine before hulaing! Brenna liked it until we reached that point..it was a bit hard for her so I'm going to order her the hula for kids. I think it will be more her speed and she'll stay interested......maybe.

On another note..have you seen this season of High School Reunion? How can an entire group of people stay stuck in one year? It's so sad.....and yet you gotta keep watching to see what stupid thing happens next. The guy in drag who wore a mullet wig pretty well iced it for me......WELCOME TO 2010!

Enjoy your day.

Training our Kids..........

Our Pastor preached to us today about being examples for our kids.........which is actually a big job. It's so easy to get in the habit of going to church, singing the songs, listening to the sermon and go back home, but when you get there your kids are there too so it becomes our job to make sure church continues.....yikes. It's one thing to tell our kids about God and His love for us and Heaven, but it's another for them to actually be able to watch us and see our faith and know God is a very real presence in our lives without us saying a word.

I fail at this often as I let the problems of the world get to me, but how will my daughter learn to deal with life if I don't allow God to shine through all the gloom? So I ask you to pray for me as I try to do better, and I will do the same for you.

Spring Fever..........

Long time no blog!

I was going to sew today, but it was so nice out this morning the mood to stitch went out the window.

I have decided to make it a point to exercise regularly so I ordered a dvd to walk my belly flat......this morning was day one. Lee and I both walked and really enjoyed it! Brenna did it a little while too, but she's more excited to try the hula dvd.........oh yes........Brenna and I are going to hula and haha together. It should be a hoot.

I'm so anxious for spring, and flowers, and bike riding, and WARM weather. And I think we're going to build Brenna a tree house to play in.........minus the tree. Gotta get some plans together for that and break out the hammer!

Everyone have a good evening!
