Ahh...To Be Dust Free!

Nothing like the feeling of "spring cleaning"! Dove knee deep into Little D's room...=O It was a disaster of epic proportions that I've been putting off for a while. Next on the agenda Little Man's room...it's not much better! They clean their rooms themselves, but this is a cleaning that only a desperate mother can accomplish! =) From there it's the master bedroom/bath.

During this time I've also been attempting to bring some sort of order back to the kitchen....I stress the word "attempting"! The cabinets are one step closer to being complete. They've been stained and now it's time for the polyurethane, but since hubby is working (not complaining for sure! =D) they will have to wait until he has some free time.

Until next time...

Shalom!

Getting Back on the Wagon

Well, it's time to kick it back in gear! Been off the wagon since Christmas time and having a hard time getting back in my groove, but the time has come! I think I've gained a little back but not all- Thank goodness!!! Wanted to walk today but it didn't work out on several levels.

On the upside- taxes are done! WooHOO!! We have lots of tasks on the list around here. T is still working on cabinets. It's a big job but it's coming along and we're nearing the finish line. =) Other tasks I see on the horizon (not necessarily in the order listed):

• painting my bedroom and bath
• new carpeting in main room
• repainting M's bedroom
• new deck in the back
• the garden
• new roof

and "yes", there is more if you can believe it! lol

Peace!

What a Glorious Day!

That the Lord hath made! I am rejoicing and glad in it! =D The sun is shinning, the birds are singing, kiddies are playing outside and I'm smiling. Been sick this last week with a nasty cold/cough but seem to be bouncing back from it. This weather is putting me in the mood for getting the garden ready. Not going to say much more- heading back outside! Enjoy!

Never a Dull Moment

Got lots happening around here. Of course the usual- homeschool!, cleaning, baking bread (a new passion!) and now T is working on the cabinets! WooHoo! He has been working on it in spurts, but decided to go all out since work is slow. Lord willing, very soon we'll have brand new looking cabinets! Can't wait!

Yes, I've gotten really into my bread baking again...was doing a lot of it a few years back and then stopped. I love fresh baked bread. So I'm in search of new recipes to try and I'm even thinking of posting a sign in the yard advertising! I think I need to do a little more baking before I do that though. Next on my list- pretzels! I've made them before and they were delish! Just haven't done it in a while.

Been doing crummy on the whole weight loss thing. Got out of my groove since Christmas and still trying to get back in it. I have to put my mind in a new mindset and get a goal in mind...which I already have really....

Upwards and Onwards!

New Background....

I have been forced to choose a new background. This will have to do for now. Oh well. lol

Burgers, BBQ, Brownies & Buddies

YES!

This is the extent of my weekend....scary but true. Why is it that fun times with friends/fam are centered around yummy foods? Why can't we all get together and do jumping jacks of something! lol I know....not practical. Jumped on the scale today and almost screamed....I'm up a few pounds and don't like it. Gotta get back to my cardio asap! I have a new goal in mind...that's the way I work best. Short term goals. Pick a date and go for it.

Last week was a long and stressful for me and I'm glad it's over! I still have some busy days coming ahead of me, but now my thoughts are a little clearer and I'm on a roll.

Hubby is busy going through tax receipts...can you believe it?! =D I'm excited to file taxes as quickly as possible this year just so that I don't have to think about it and I can get on with my life.

See ya!

ReGrouping

Time to get back on the band wagon...the holidays are over and so is the bad eating....I HOPE! lol I have to start back to my rigorous cardio routine....It's amazing how different I feel when I'm not working out and also how I handle stress.....with cardio I hardly notice it....no cardio- I eat it!

With Christ all things are possible!

Only Believe
