So... this is how I feel lately.
My journey is taking a detour!
I have so much on my small plate that I am just going to have to put weight loss on hold for now. My new journey is going to be all about survival! If I survive I will be victorious! And if the people around me survive... well that will mean super victorious!!!
So, as for what is on my plate...
I'm taking a sewing class at school... and while it is not really a hard class, it is just a class where I have to get projects done. But, I love the shirt I made. I learned how to make it to fit my body (which is super not fun to buy a nice button up blouse for!). The shirt is really nice, it is white short-sleeved. And then there is the skirt... well, not so nice. I hated the fabric I picked and the skirt just didn't turn out how I envisioned it. You will probably never see it on me. It doesn't go with my body type. But if there is someone out there who wants it when I get it back, just let me know. It is a red satin skirt... fitted at the waist and flow-y at the bottom and it comes mid-calf-ish. So... I may be willing to give it a good home. As for my next project... I get to make something of my own choosing. So I'm making a dress for Macee... and a dress for Maddy. I couldn't make only one daughter a dress. I think I can turn in the other one for extra credit! Woohoo! And then my final project is another blouse. I'm making the same one I did earlier this semester, but this time it will be black and long-sleeved!
My next class is Medical Terminology. It is an 8-week course. We cover 18 chapters in this course... tells you how many chapters we cover a week. Super busy with that!!! But I have set-up a pacing schedule to keep up with all that classes work!
I'm working 2 four-hour shifts at Scrapbook.com warehouse. I'm loving it there. While I don't always enjoy going, once I'm there I really enjoy it. I have made some good friends there and I'm on my feet the whole time. Chuck bought me some Sketchers Shape-Ups. I noticed some of the women at work wearing them and I thought it would be a great idea. Why not "work-out" as I work! They are really nice shoes and I can tell they do their job of working out the legs more than regular tenny-runners!
I have kiddos in programs this year. We have never really done any extra things, but now we sure are. Maddy is doing Jog Club on T/Th and Tyler has "Einstein Eagles" on T/Th as well. Tyler and Maddy use to go to jog club together until Tyler started his "EE" last week, so now I go meet Maddy and Macee after school for Jog Club and do some laps with them.
Tyler is doing flag football... so practices are T/W and games on Saturday.
And then there is Scouts, Activity Days, Mutual...
And a house to keep clean...
And whatever else gets thrown in on top of all of it.
I know to some of you this doesn't sound like a whole lot, but to me it is... I like the life of not too much going on. I hate running around all the time like a crazy woman.
I miss hanging with the girls...
I hate that I get frustrated easily...
I wish that when people tell me they are going to do something that they would just do it...
Yes, you probably know who u are...
Will this be a good enough reminder when you are veg-ing in front of the TV and don't notice the housework (that you said you would help with) that needs to be done. No, you aren't grounded from the TV anymore, but I just need that little extra love and support you promised me!
Good reminder, eh??? So... now that I just rambled on and on about nothing really and probably just wasted some precious homework time, I think I better sign off... b/c Chuck has us getting up early for a 3k walk tomorrow morning (or should I say this morning b/c it is technically Saturday)... then we have a football game, a birthday party, irrigation, homework, lessons to plan (we both teach Sunday) and then a "hot" date with our BFF's (the Morty's)... Olive Garden and Bowling... so... off to bed I go!
Goodnight... sleep tight...
dream of bedbugs tonight!
