Things I need to do.

I need to study. I can't seem to motivate myself to do Math it is so uninspiring.

I need to register the kids for school. I thought you had to do it by June now I know you have till July. Next week for sure.

Go to the grocery store. I need milk and Aldi is to far just for milk, but I don't want to go to Walmart just for milk. Can I survive without milk?

I need to stop and enjoy life more. I always feel better when I am so busy, but learning to be in the moment is hard. So I need to be in the moment and enjoy the kids and summertime more.

I need to be more patience. I have so little.

I need to turn off the cable. I don't need to watch so much TV.

I need to focus less on what I eat but why I eat. I want to not care one way or the other but I am a little obsessed with it. I need to give it to God and to not try and strategies it.

I need to exercise more. I used to exercise a least 5 days a week sometimes 6. Now I am at about 3 or 4.

I need to not worry and trust God. This is the biggest need. Why do I always feel like He needs my help to make decisions I mean surly He wants to know what I want Him to do.

So maybe I can give all my needs to God and not try and fix everything myself. Is that just one more thing I need to do? Oh well I am trying a little I guess.

Summer an stuff.

We have been pretty busy with summer lately. If you haven't been the Moody library has been having different shows and door prizes every Friday. They have one more left a magician. It really has been fun. Eric won a door prize today so he was so excited. Also we have been having a great time at the Clayton's pool. I love having a place to take them to swim.

Last night Paige and I took Rebbecca dinner and got to meet and hold baby Jonathan. He is so sweet and it was fun to get to visit.

I really can't believe June is half way over. I forgot to wish Darrin a happy birthday on the blog Wednesday. So happy birthday Darrin. I love you even though you are on the down side of the hill. Growing old with you makes me very happy. Happy 42!!

The boys are really enjoying their guitar lesson. They think Adam is the coolest guy on the face of the Earth. And amazingly enough they are actually learning how to play. Not that I doubted Adam's ability just the ability of an 9 and 5 year old to focus and practice. But they do and enjoy it a lot.

My Math class is going well. I got an 95/A on my first test. It was easier than I though t it would be. Fractions are next. I remember why I don't like fractions because they are fractions.

Anyhoo can't wait until the 4th we are going to go visit the family in Wetumpka. I haven't seen some of my aunt's and uncles and cousins since Thanksgiving. So that should be fun. Later.

The boys are back.

The boys are back. Yeah I really missed them 4 days is a long time. They had a great time with Grandma. They took them on their boat and went to Lake Jordon and Lake Martin. They got to drive the boat and had a great time. My family had a cabin on Lake Martin growing up and I have many wonderful memories of the lake. So I was very excited they got to ride on boat. They have never done that before. So now back to full time motherhood. I really did enjoy the quite but now that they are older they really are not as much work as when they were little. So things I discovered about myself while all alone for 4 days. (Darrin was home in the evenings but I was by myself all day).

1. I watch way to much TV. And trash TV.

2. I find my self thinking and my lips moving. I was truly one day away from talking to my self.

3. The baby dog would be so spoiled if I was alone with him on a continuous bases.

4. I email a lot because I was a wee bit lonely.

5. I would probably never cook.

6. I would shop a lot.

7. I do not like to be alone. (I see a pattern).

8. I don't eat as much because I forget to.

9. I had to get my own drink a lot.

10. I am way spoiled.

So next time they leave me I need to arrange play dates for my self so I don't turn in to the crazy lady with a little dog all dressed up in cute outfits.

Alabaster city feast.

City feast and more.

We went to city feast in Alabaster Sat. It was fun whee bit hot but fun was had by all. It was free to get in they had a bounce moonwalk area that was free. Also a rock wall that was free to climb. Zachary had fun and tried 3 or 4 times and finally got to the top. I told him to have that much focus and drive when it came to school work. He did not find that funny. Act of Congress played they were awesome as always.

Sunday the mother-in-law meet us for lunch and offered to take the kids with her for a few days. We say of course but they have no extra clothes. She says no problem I will buy them some. I secretly think she thinks I over pack when they normally go. Just in defense of myself Zach one time wore his Elmo pajama shirt to church with her. So I tend to send a lot of choices. Of course she back packed through Europe with just a back pack for 3 weeks. I could never do that. I try to pack lighter. When we meet her and Darrin's brother in Calloway last year for Thanksgiving I was so glad we got there first so she could not see all my luggage.

Anyhoo just imagine our excitement at the unexpected thrill of no kids. We went and rented 2 movies and watched both. I had not been feeling good all day thought maybe just tired. No I had fever and a little stuffy. Spent all day yesterday laying and feeling horrible. I could have gone anywhere but no I could not lift my head without feeling dizzy. So anyway I feel better today and hope to leave the house. I have not showered in awhile so I know I will at least do that today. Oh did I mention I can't stand my Math class it is way not fun. It is all about Math, Math,Math, Math that is all the teacher talks about. Boring!!! So later all.

Crazy!!!

Okay so I saw on the news the new Top Model is a plus size. SHE IS A SIZE 10!!! When did size 10 become plus size. I mean I really don't care but the struggle is hard enough without having crazy people decide size 10 is plus size. Why does it matter I honestly want to scream. Who is in charge of this decisions and when did it matter so much what size we are. I want to be happy and healthy. I want to not look at myself and not judge myself. Happiness is not suppose to be tied up in what size jeans we ware. I want to eat a cookie or two and not feel guilty. I want my happiness to be in my family and God not in my size. I guess it has always been this way think of the crossest and be glad those days are gone. Maybe one day this crazy world will look at everyone for who they are and not what their weight is. Maybe not. I want to bring chubby back and that to bring sexy back. I mean chubby is sexy right? Here's to the pursuit of happiness. I am going to go eat a cookie.
