Mommy And Me Day......

I am 48?...

let me see.....I was born in 64 and it's 2013...

subtract and you get 49 but my birthday is in Aug. so yeah....48. 

 I have to do that every...single....time.

 Why can't I remember?

  Any way my mom is in her seventies and can't see well, so I drive her to most of the places that she wants to go.

Today we are going clothes shopping out of town.

I love when we can spend time together and since it's at least an hours drive away we get a lot of talking done.

But no matter how old we get things are just like when I was a child.

My mom loves for someone to be "neat"......and I.....am....not.

The last time we went I was wearing all black to try and disguise that I wasn't very "neat."

She got in the car and was staring at me (because she can't see well) and I nervously laughed and said I'm not wearing much color today...heehee.

She said "No, you sure aren't."....no laugh.

My sister and I think this is very funny because she (my sister) is not very neat also.

My moms hairdresser is named "Lisa" also and my mom talks about how "neat" she is all the time.

My sister and I laugh and call her "neat" Lisa and I am "not neat" Lisa.

Anyway I've got to get off this computer and get ready.....I've got to find something "neat" to wear...:)

Oh how I love my mom...:)))))

Be Still..........

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD

PSALM 46:10

Working on it!

Working on organizing in my kitchen.....

Break time!....

Isn't he cute? He's right outside my french doors to the left of my computer.....

Back to work!

Sunshine!

The sun is shining bright this cold morning and it is glorious!

Sunshine is a balm to the soul.....

Keep your face always towards the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Walt Whitman

If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine.

Morris West

The sun lay like a friendly arm across her shoulder.

Margorie Kinnan Rawlings

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Even on a cloudy day the sun is shining somewhere!

Author Unknown

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

2 Samuel 23:4

He dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.

Have a blessed and sunny day!

Downward Facing Dog

So far so good on being busy this week.....of course it is just Tuesday.

Yesterday I gave blood....and it took most of the day because they were short handed.

So by the time I got home, fed the animals, washed some clothes and cooked supper my day was done.

Today I worked on cleaning out our closet......this will be a two or three day process.  I informed my husband that it would be oh so helpful it we slept in another room tonight since all the clothing was piled up on our bed.  Me thinks he is not for that idea...:)

I took a little break because it was so sunny and warm outside and decided to get in some exercise.

I walked for 20 minutes to the back of our property and when I got back I decided I would finish it up with Jillian Michaels Yoga.

Oh my......ohhhhhhh......myyyyy.....

I am overweight and really really out of shape and this was the first day of exercising in a while so it was not a pretty sight.

At one point she said "your breath should match your movements..slow and easy." and I thought if my breath matched with all my herky jerky movements.....falling over and getting back up.....I would be hyperventilating!

Oh wait......I am....:)

Sambo the cat was mesmerized by me.....I think she thought "Is momma having a seizure?"

Haha....look at the blurry picture.....my arms were shaking so hard at this point.

And then the dog came over and said "hey look, I can do downward facing dog."

But I did it all!  I was so pumped that I got my juicer out and juiced up some spinach and apples.

It was......not......good.....

But I was fired up and thinking "Ok...this weight loss thing has finally clicked with me!"

But no.....the clicking sound was me opening the Pringles can...I ate half the can and a ham sandwich...:(

So now it's time for bed, tornadoes are headed our way, I still need a bath, the juicer has to be cleaned up and my bed is covered in clothes.

Was this a good day or not?

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings....:)

Get Busy!

Well it was a busy weekend and I loved it. 

 This past week I was in a lazy, sorry, blah mood and the more I laid around the worse I got.

I tried to break out of the funk but I just couldn't...I don't know why.

  My college son called and told me he was bringing friends home and that put a fire under me. 

Groceries had to be bought, sheets washed, floors cleaned and a whole lot of cooking needed to be done.

You would not believe what these boys can eat.

  I spend the whole weekend cooking a meal, washing the dishes and planning and cooking the next meal.  

But this momma's not complaining.  It makes me feel good.

In fact, not having a lot to do is probably part of my motivation problem.

I definitely get more done under pressure.

You dream of lying around and relaxing and reading or watching t.v. and that's o.k. after a hard days work but without the work, lying around makes you feel bad.

So I'm back on my horse and planning to get a lot done this week!

The beds will be made and the floors will be mopped.

I will  pick out the perfect color to lighten up my living room.

Tomorrow I plan to go to our local school and give blood.

I'm a little scared.......I'm scared the results will come back "fat" positive......:)

So, busy, busy, busy is what I hope to be this week.

PROVERBS 13:4

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Be Still....
