Merry Christmas!!!



Southern Snow

So it snowed for a few hours and now we have slush and dead plants. I am not a fan of snow and won't apologize for it. It is cold, wet and messy but I will tolerate anything for my girls. M loved it - I think she was outside most of the day in it. L was outside approximately 10 minute then had a sudden meltdown and didn't want to go outside again.



M early in the morning making her snowman family.




The girls working on a snowman. We looked outside an hour later and the stupid dog had decapitated it, ate the lollipop that was the nose and dragged the scarf into the front yard.

What I am thankful for

A little late but here goes..... no real order just posted as I think of them

my wonderful family - I am so blessed and thankful for my husband and girls, my parents and sisters and their families, and my in-laws.

my job - I am so happy to have found a job I love to do in a work environment that is so supportive. With the economy as it is right now I am also thankful to have a job.

friends - I am so thankful for my friends. I don't think I express enough how much I appreciate them and feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.

online shopping - my sisters both love to go shopping, I really can't stand it. I don't like crowds and most of the time feel very frustrated after a trip to the mall or wherever. Thank goodness for online shopping. I think I have only had to purchase 2 gifts at an actual store this Christmas. I would say I am 80% complete all before December.

Bops and anything chocolate - I don't think this needs an explanation.

Hit the brick wall

Well the training came to an abrupt halt. I am so disappointed. I have been sick since Tuesday and still don't feel like doing more than laying on the sofa. It has been one of the roughest weeks ever. Hubby was out of town, I was sicker than I have been in a really long time, my aunt passed away, a friend of the family lost his battle to cancer and one other thing happened I am not ready to talk about.

I really am so bummed i stopped the training. I don't know when I will feel like starting back up but I can't wait.


On a side note, why do 2 year olds not listen?

Not that bad ...

I started week 3 tonight. I had to go for 3 minutes walking and 3 minutes jogging. I thought it was going to be so hard but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe this program actually works.

Now I am eating eggs with cheese cause I have been craving eggs all week. Chocolate would be good too. mmmmmm

Week 3 and a soapbox

I completed week 2! YEAH!!! Not looking forward to week 3. I don't see how I am going to run 3 minutes. I can't hardly do 90 seconds.

Next Friday is Halloween. Wow where did October go. I need to go shopping for M - she has outgrown everything. Luckily L has clothes from M and her cousin. I think we will make it through winter without having to get much for her.


Why in the world do we put some much money into entertainment? At what point and who made the decision that the industry should get so much money. I don't know what our world has come to but I wish it would change.

Great video

The following video was shared with me. I think I have told myself almost all of those. I am pretty determined right now, hope that doesn't change. I really have no excuse!
