All 3 down for the count...

My husband deserves Husband of the year so far. He stayed home today from work with 3 tummy troubled kiddos while I went off to work. It's no fun to keep 2 home sick- keeping 3 home sick....that is sheer torture. (And they all seemed alive and fed when I got home). Let's hope they are all better by Monday. I also had the pleasure of collecting a sample of the tummy trouble for analysis at the Dr. office since the youngest is on week 2 of tummy trouble. Don't care if I ever repeat that fun experience.

I read 2 books in the last week. The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I vasilate from feeling distraught that there are others living in such harsh life conditions, to being so thankful for the HUGELY blessed life I live. I think the books were great and that they really put things in perspective. No more worries about the small stuff. I am free, I am not mistreated, and I am blessed with amazing love.

Motivated

A friend of mine sent me a picture of us from college this week. Wow. Found my motivation to work out. And....it's not how you think. I am the littlest size I have ever been in my life right now. I look back at my high school and college days and think....oh my. All the junk food, all the cokes...they definitely found a home! My parents tease me and my husband all the time that we eat "Weird". We are definitely a bit heavy on the fruits, vegetables, organic side with lots of lean meats/fish. I personally, love our eating lifestyle and wouldn't trade it for the world!

On another note....are those gray hairs on the top of my head? I cannot imagine why they would be there...! Thank goodness for hairdressers....

She WILL be a great independent woman......someday

My beloved daughter that is. In the meantime, let's all hope I can continue to cope with that strong independent nature without having her live her life in timeout.

January...does it ever end?? Need sunshine, outdoors, and daylight past 7!!

Motivation

I got a great new workout book for my birthday...
Along with a kettlebell...
Both great gifts since exercise is one of my favorite things to do in my free time.

Unfortunately, I am having a severe attack of lackofmotivationitis and all I want to do is curl up on the couch, read books, and drink hot drinks from my new single cup maker....
Any good motivational comments out there??
