Well, I am back... busy, busy, busy...why is it that you work hard all year with the knowledge that you will have some down time in the summer...summer comes around and that down time does not appear...and every year the same thing over and over...now I am to the point where I believe my down time will be when we retire...we shall see, we shall see...as for my summer... awesome...so far there has been an American Girl Tea at our church as an out reach and to raise money and awareness for God Works, an association that provides meals in the evenings for those who can not afford them...great fun volunteering at those, great people...we are also back from a very interesting vacation with my brother and his family... we rented a house boat on Lake Cumberland in KY... glad I did it, wouldn't do it again...then we went to Gatlinburg very fun, then back home... this week is county fair week... Great Food... I am going to have to watch that... our church is having a C3 fit program... competition for weight loss, steps taken, and exercise... we also have group outings that go along with the C3 fit... just this evening a group of us went on a walk... great fun... this is changing our lives, and we are so blessed... I am also having difficulty sleeping these days...I am only 47 and already going through menopause... whew is it hot in here...teehee...taking hormones etc...hope it works soon, I hate being hot... well time to sign off for the evening...we are off to the fair in the am... good night and good blessing...

This is so much harder then I thought it would be. It has been a week since I posted last. I think the hardest part is thinking of what to say. Normally I don't have a problem saying something. I have a tendency to eavesdrop, and then I want to solve everyone's problem or at least lead them in the right direction. Like I know everything. I do not know how I came to that conclusion, but when I am not paying attention to what I am doing or saying, I will just butt right in and give my two cents worth. I just want to say to all my friends and family, I am sorry. I hope to grow out of this but at 47 I am not holding my breath and you shouldn't either. Lets see what to say...I hate being busy, I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I am lazy. I don't mean to be, nor do I want to be, but I do love doing nothing. Naps are my number one thing to do...especially when I am bored or restless. You would think with a restless spirit I would be more active but I am not, go figure... I get bored easy. I think if I was to be diagnosed now I would probably have ADHD, but I wasn't and I did make it through school. I realised early that I did better in school if I took short classes and not a year long class. So to keep my average up I took quarter or semester classes. I was smartical even back then, but I didn't know it. I don't like to schedule anything it makes me feel a little bit claustrophobic, strange huh. Let's see, anything else I could say about me...I am sure there is more but I am stumped at the moment. Oh, I have a tendency not to show good judgment with my tongue, which I mentioned earlier, but I possess little if no tact...my mother showed signs of this, I wonder if it is hereditary. Well hopefully it wont' be another week for my next...thanks for stopping by...God Bless

Well Monday came and went, sorry, I thought I could do this everyday...sit down and come up with something brilliant that I was doing for myself everyday...it is harder then it looks. Lets see what did I do Monday; besides school, laundry, dishes, and meals. The girls did go to a friends church teen group last night, which gave me some down time. I know that I sound spoiled, and I don't deny it. I only have two girls 12 almost 18, and 13 almost 25 but the hormones alone are enough to drive you crazy...of course they weren't gone long enough, jk... but I always feel better when I get things done and I did do a lot of laundry. Enough of yesterday, today was not as productive as yesterday but we did get to the orthodontist this morning and Cori's braces were removed...it's funny, you have to get used to seeing her without the braces. We met up with the best aunt in the world to my little girls for lunch, yum. We went shopping at the Christian book store then off to Coldwater Creek. We have been looking and looking for modest dress clothes for my oldest, she is going to a Father Daughter weekend in Georgia next month, and have been finding nothing but skimpy dresses. Well I thought of checking out Coldwater Creek, I know I like their clothes. Cori was able to find two beautiful skirt and sweater outfits that were modest, what a blessing. She just adores them and my youngest found a skirt. It was a good day...God has blessed us yet again...see ya...

Well the day is almost over and I haven't done one thing good for me. I have done several. I woke up on time, which makes for a relaxing morning before church. I had a Cranberry Pecan waffle for breakfast. My wonderful husband purchased a waffle maker that flips. You can not make a bad waffle with it. I taught the little ones in kids church this morning. I love talking to the little ones, their faith makes mine seem week (something I am going to have to work on). After church there was a soup and bread potluck with all of our church family. I made Black Bean soup, I am so glad that it turned out well. Here is a funny note about me, I never taste the recipe before serving it. I guess I like the surprise, who knows, just something I noticed today. We stayed and helped clean up then home for a nap. It was a good day. Now what to do tomorrow, Mondays are hard hummm...

My first day...

My blog is about doing one thing a day to make me happy.

Today I am going to throw away all the candy in the house.
