My brain is totally burned out! I had all kids sick one right after the other and a husband who has been in bed for 3 days now. NOT fun. I am completely fine, not even a sniffle, just totally spent after a whole week of getting up every hour or so with 103.2 temps. I didn't even use a thermometer with Caitlin, I could make a good guess it was high after feeling the boys heads the last few nights. I hate "sick", I hate it!

too funny

I've had my cell phone for 5 years. And tonight......I have learned to take the pictures off of it.

Go a head make your fun. I still video tape a movie from the t.v. with a tape. I run on my treadmill listening to a cassette tape. The tape I listen to is "to the O to the L to the D" music.



I'm so not up to date. If I had one of those i-phones, all I would do with it is use it as a phone.



here are some of the photos that were on it.

UPDATE: I made this post last night and have yet to understand how to get the pics to my blog....

This is the reason I go to ladies prayer on Tues.

Dawson was mad at Dylan tonight. He tried to tell me everything that happened and then looked at me like......"what are you going to do about this injustice that has just taken place?" I offered to send Dylan to China. Pack his bags and ship him off! No! Better yet........go get a pair of his underwear!

We'll freeze them! MwaHaHaHa!

Showed him didn't we?

Caitlin taking a nap in a drawer. well, faking it for a picture.



Our cat Sam finding a cozy spot on Dylan's legs.


sometimes when there is nothing to say..............you post pictures!

I got you babe

Troy and I have this theme song that we sing to each other when times go bad. It's sonny and chers, " I've Got You Babe"

Today for Valentines day I got a musical card that had that song in it. He said it was the last one on the shelf. It was really cute.

I made heart shape pancakes for the kids this morning and they were amazed at my talent until they saw the cookie cutter that I had used to cut them out.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

a problem

I have a problem that is hard for me to understand.......

I have gained 2 pounds in 1 week!!!!! *?!#* urrg!! HOW in the world did THAT happen?!?
Why did I have to get on the scale in the first place? I don't know!! I guess I was thinking, surely, I have lost some weight. I have been sweating like a pig the last week and a half and I am up to almost 2 miles! now I'm bummed. I will keep at it but I'm totally bummed.
The wii fit doesn't help much either......"Oh, you've seemed to gain some weight", " Why do you think you've gained", "Are you sure you don't know the reason?" oh puh-leeze!
I need some chocolate!!!

I got up to 1.75 miles today on the ol' treadmill! I was so excited! Even after the week end off, it was easy to get going again. I always thought I never had the time to do this before. With homeschooling and 3 kids, "my time" was limited. But I found out if you stop cleaning and cooking, there is SO much more time in the day! :)

good week

I ran 5 miles this week! I am so proud of myself! I had a great week of energy and being productive around the house. My laundry.......all caught up. My kitchen......cleaned with a shiny sink. Fridge.....stocked up for the week. whew, glad the week end is here. :)
Last night we rented "fireproof" pretty cool movie. Tonight, "Horton Hears a Who". The kids are all ready watching it a second time.
I'm off to have a few chocolate kisses.....and not feel a bit guilty over it either!!

O.k I didn't want to post this earlier in the week for fear of failure! But thanks to the gentle coaxing of a very dear friend, I am now waking up early in the morning and walking even running a mile! I can't believe the difference this week has made. I look forward to going around my little track on the treadmill. The little red dot is my friend and I try to get him around the circle faster and faster every day. I have had energy like you wouldn't believe. I actually go to sleep at night instead of surfing the internet till 2 am! Today I am sore.....really sore! Next week I will try to get a mile down a little faster, then try 2 miles. Slow little baby steps :) Right now I can go a mile in 15 min.
So now the cat is out of the bag, and I will post my progress weekly. Is there anyone out there who cares to join me?
