FLURRY!!!

Zachary does not feel well he is worse than a 2 year old with the whining. He thinks sick means laying on the couch or playing his game cube. It means you need a nap. So he is crying and won't just rest in his bed. Maybe I am horrible and should just let him watch TV but he tends to be like me and has lazy down real good. So maybe he will rest maybe not I am ready for SPRING!!!! I mean it is snow flurrying today yesterday it was 70 degrees. CRAZY!!!!

I ran 8 whole minutes today twice. YEAH!!! That is the most I have ran since Jr.High when they made you. I really like it it feels good do to something I never thought I could do. I also need to get over that I should lose a least 5 to 10 pounds a week now that I am a "runner". I feel like a new mom who's baby is the greatest baby ever like I have done something so unique. So I will not try to talk about it to much but am really great at it now that I have been doing it for 8 whole weeks so I must share my vast knowledge of running with everyone. Just kidding.

So maybe it will get warmer and I will shrink a little or not. I wish that I could have a week on the beach. With the kids and a nanny for the kids so I can see them some but not a lot. I know,never going to happen but a girl has to have her dreams.

Sick

We are sick I felt like yuck yesterday head cold, laid on the couch and slept off and on all day. Zachary then started trowing up right after lunch luckily only two or three times. I know I should probably know how many times but remember I was asleep and he is 9 and can run fast a make it to a toilet. So if there is anything good about trowing up is when your kid can make it to the toilet. My baby is growing up:( As you know I have been mourning the loss of my 150 channels since we down graded. I am so spoiled and am realizing this. I have made it and got the first much, much lower bill so it is not quiet as painful anymore. When is game cube to much? 3 hours 7 hours? Is it wrong for them to watch TV right after I say turn that off and do something productive like watch TV!!! I think they are about ready for a pop quiz on Logo Star Wars. So hope everyone gets better and spring will get here soon. Can you say hay fever?

Trying to do nothing.

The kids are at my Mom's. I woke up all on my own this morning. Nobody had to be feed but me. I am trying to do nothing. It is not as easy as it sounds. I have watched a lot of TV and lounged a good bit but now its 2ish and I just changed out the laundry. Took a shower. Cleaned the kitchen. I can't stop. Why is it so hard to do nothing? I mean I dream of doing nothing but never seem to get to. So I promised myself that today I would do nothing. But alas I can't seem to stop myself. Maybe I need an intervention. Someone to stand over me and make me relax, but if someone was coming over I would really have to get the house in order. So I guess I have enjoyed doing things on my schedule today so that is sort of like doing nothing isn't it?

Also it is to quiet I have the TV and radio on, the dry and wash are making noise. But no one is running around being crazy. Max did bark this morning at something but that only lasted a few minutes he is very quite. So I guess I will try and enjoy the quiet while it last. I promise tho veggie out a little more but now I have to finish my rough draft for class tonight. Nathaniel Hawthorne so interesting. Sort of.

?????

Just cleaned the house it is so lovely. I absolutely hate my vacuum I really want a Dyson. I am almost caught up on laundry and I feel very in control. I know this feeling is fleeting so I am trying to enjoy it while I can. I made a 76/C on my first essay. I am so glad I did pretty good for my first time, at least that is what the teacher wrote on my paper. So on to the next one.

So I was the "friend" who went to Moody Elementary yesterday. We are considering the boys going next year. I love homeschooling and really enjoy it. But I feel overwhelmed and ill equipped which I know is a pretty common feeling. So as a family we when decided to homeschool we said that we would not close any doors. I always thought that they would eventually go back and I guess knowing when is the big question. So we are thinking and I am just so glad that we live in a time and place where we have the choices we do. I think sometimes having the choices are hard. I am just really glad the kids are open with us and let us know what they want and respect that Darrin and I will make the best decision for the family.

I am running. I think this is so unbelievable. I have a husband who runs and have always secretly wanted to run, but never thought I could. I can run 5 whole minutes without stopping. Thanks ladies I really am enjoying it.

The COWS meeting was good. I think that Crissy did a great job, because you really have to trust God with everything and know that He can do whatever you need Him to do in any area of your life.

So today is a good day and I got things done. I wish I felt good even when I am not doing all the things on my mental check list. I guess I just need to add that to my list.

OCD!!

Kim Hill tagged me to do my top 10 obsessions which came from her happy list. Go figure.

So here goes.

1. I re-wash clothes if they don't smell perfect. I hate when they smell even a little musty.

2. Fingernails. I used to always keep mine long and polished. Lately they won't grow they peel down to the quick. I am so vain that it is driving me crazy.

3. Cleaning my house. I am compulsive about it. I could clean 2 or 3 hours a day, happily. I have let it go a little but it drives me crazy. I adore vacuum lines in the carpet they are soooo pretty.

4. I won't wear red. Why can't redheads wear red? The thing is I bought a red swing velvet coat. Now I am scared to wear it. I mean blonde's wear yellow, brunettes wear brown. So why not.

5. Clean feet. I hate dirty feet.I make my kids bath way to much. When Zach was a baby the doctor told me to stop washing him so much I was drying him out. Sorry Zach.

6. I love my yorkie Max way more then is normal. I am not a huge pet person but he is truly the greatest dog in the whole world. I love him like a crazy old cat lady except he is a dog, and I don't want 10 dogs just the one.

7. I plan everything. When we go on trips I would have a schedule of every minute of everyday. I actually did the last time and it was way fun for me. I don't like open endedness I need a schedule. The family on the other hand, not so into it.


8. I could watch TV for days on end I hate that I could watch it so much. We recently downgraded the Dish to 100 channels. I miss the other 150 allot. Even though there are only about 10 I really miss but you can't just order what you want. Very annoying.

9. Lent. I de-lent everybody. I had a Bounce scented lent brush it ran out and now I am worried I want be able to find a new one. I can not de-lent before I leave and it is driving me crazy.

10. I drink Diet Coke we are out now and it is in the back of my brain that I am out and I need it. I need it bad really bad. I mean I don't think I could live with out it. I horde it and will not share. When we go out to my Mom's I have 3 or 4 20oz even if we are only there over night.( She lives way far out and it is to far to go to a store so I must have it with me at all time.

Isn't it fun that what makes us happy also makes us crazy. Who knew.
