Today is Monday (no !)

Well it's Monday and I am a bit bummed because Dude has to work. But I won't sit here and whine to you about it instead I will share my do list with you. Exciting I know! Even if Dude was home he would be stuck doing PTA stuff with me so maybe it's better this way. Our school shirts have come in so I am helping pass those out. Popcorn Friday is coming up so I need to get that organized. And last our deadline for our Original Works fundraiser is due on the 15th so I need to be working on that. On top of all my PTA duties I have an algebra test to take today. But I feel prepared so it's just a matter of finding time to take it. Plus the laundry piled up again so I will be folding all that which means I get to watch The Office. So that's my Monday minus Andrew. What are you doing today?

Push Ups

Alright I know I have already written a status about this but I am very proud of myself, so here it goes again..... I did 16 push ups today!!!! I remember when I could only do one and now I am up to 16!! And not only that but I ran 3 laps in a row without stopping this morning! It feels good to accomplish something I never thought I could! I had given up on weight lose or ever getting healthy but to see the scale go down and my energy levels go up is amazing! Anyways I'll stop bragging now. Tell me what you've done lately that you're really proud of. Even if it's little like finally cleaning out that hall closet, I want to know. Let's encourage each other, never stop doubting yourself, do something to be proud of today!!

It's Dude Day

It's monday and that means I get to spend the day with Andrew! He works for our church which means he works on the weekends so monday and sometimes tuesday are his days off. That schedule took some getting use to but now I love it. And a day that would normally be a downer is my favorite of the week. We usually just hang out or go grocery shopping, it never matters what we do as long as we're together. I know todays blog is getting a little mushy but in a world where the divorce rate is 50% I think its good to get a little mushy about your hubby! We will be celebrating our 11 year anniversary on friday!! He is an amazing dad and husband and my best friend! I love you Dude!!

Quiting

I have recently overcame (or at least getting better at) not quiting everything I start. For as long as I can remember I would always quit anything I started. I never stuck with softball, learning to play the guitar, cheer leading and even high school. Heck, I've even quit typing this blog twice already! But quiting when something gets hard is no way to live. Now my son whats to learn the guitar and I can't teach him. Trying to get back in shape is alot harder not ever being very athletic. And going back to college is a lot harder never having finished the 11Th or 12Th grade. But with help from my husband and best friend I am learning to be a finisher. I have started jogging and lost 15 pounds already and am now in my 3rd semester of school. It's definitely not easy, my past tries to talk me out of doing homework telling me I'm not smart enough to know the slope of a line with points (2,6). Or my flesh lies to me saying you'll do pilates after the kids go to school you don't have to get up at 5am to run! But this time I am determined not to be a quitter. (Please note Martha I said nothing about not being a whiner or complainer) Just remember quiting is easy finishing is rewarding and humbling. You can do ALL things through Christ who gives you strength! Philippians 4:13
