More like Turf it Tuesday!!!
Being sick throws a kink in things. But all the laundry is done. Now if they would all just put it away...*sighs*
I do have to teach a Yoga class for YW tonight. So, I have pretty much been taking it easy. Ellie is watching PBS. Because it is the only thing with kid programming in the middle of the day. And we made a loaf of yummy homemade bread. The ultimate make you feel better treat! Kids should be home from school shortly and it will get hectic. Tuesdays are filled with Scouts, Activity days and piano lessons. There is a brief lull when we try to eat dinner, but that's about it!!!
More medicine has made it's way down my throat and as soon as it kicks in I am going for a walk. On my treadmill. Cause it's snowing outside. And Brrrrr cold! What I would give for a stroll down warm sand. *sigh again*

Down with the Sickness
Ellie hasn't been her cheerful self for a couple of days. Probably because of the head cold she has. Her nose hasn't stopped running since Saturday. ( Who knew there was that much stuff in such a small head?)
Well, now I have it. I feel just Blah. My whole body hurts, and my nose won't stop running. At least I know why I was feeling so tired. Too bad I wasn't listening to my body...it tried to tell me. And I just kept pushing on. *smackmyselfinthehead*
So today, Ellie and I are hanging out. Watching Clifford on the couch. I am trying to get a few things done. Laundry, and simple stuff like that. I suppose it is good to just hang out with the baby. She doesn't get one on one attention very much anymore. So, the girls are chilling.

Exhausted
That is the word to describe my weekend. Running from one thing to the next!!! Yoga, BYU, Home, friends homes, church, home, store, home...get the picture. Ellie cut her chin open on a fence, so we had to take care of that. No stitches thank goodness! It is so muddy outside that the kids are covered constantly. We are trying to finish the basement...between running errands for Sam, pulling electrical wire and sanding Drywall, teaching my class, teaching kids and everything else a Mom and wife does...
Needless to say, I am toast. Simply exhausted. We have late church which makes it even harder. Sam sleeps in, while I do the same things that happen every other day. Clean, make food, clean, start laundry, clean, chase kids, clean....oh, and I have to sing in sacrament meeting today. *yikes*
So besides being tired, I am nervous. My tummy feels like a roller coaster...and my body is just plain done...and it's not even 11 am yet!
We are all going to bed early tonight!

Happiness
~Daily Steps to Happiness~
Do something for yourself.
Do something for someone else.
Do something you don't want to do.
Do physical exercise.
Do mental exercise. ~ Scripture study
Prayer
These are small things I try to do every day.
They give me the courage to try,
to rise above...
and look beyond the obvious.

~Epic Fail~
That was yesterday.
EPIC FAIL
Seriously, what happened???
I fell off hard and long. It all started when I met my Mom for lunch. It seems that my control is WAAAAy better when I am home and in the zone. It all started out simple enough. A HUGE salad, followed by kettle roast, 2 small sliced potatoes and a couple of carrot wedges. Then a small scone. I tried to tell myself...you are full. It's ok. Psh. Right. Then I had a plate of pull apart cinnamon bread.
When I got home, hours later...I was still full. I got to thinking perhaps I haven't been eating enough. And maybe that is what is wrong...well. Then I thought some more about how I had already blown the sugar and white flour points off the roof...and ate more garbage. By admitting it here...I being responsible for my actions. I tried one of every little debbie snack we had in the cupboard. The ones I NEVER eat because they are for the kids' lunch. *facepalm* Seriously, I am so embarassed. How could I do that? To myself? To my kids...I kept telling myself it was ok, because I was sharing with them. For every pack I opened I handed one of them the other piece. Great! What does that teach them. Hey, Mom, how many of those are you going to eat? Oh, if she does it like that...I can't WAIT to grow up!!!
I was naughty. And I am paying for it. My back hurts so bad today and I am a grump bucket. Sugar does that to me every time. How could I forget??? After almost 3 weeks of near perfection, how COULD I forget!
I am very disappointed in myself. However, yesterday is over. The slate is clean. And a new day is stretched before me. Here goes nothing!
To a new day!

25 Really random things about me

3. Said husband hauled 4 elk off the side of a mountain using ropes and his brothers...and that is what they do for fun. Weird. I know...
4. It's funny in yoga class to ask people to raise their hands in a posture if they like it...when their hand is already up. Seriously!

14. My Dad lives in Florida...we went almost 15 years without speaking once.

It's MONDAAAAAYYYYYY!!!
Yup.
It came. Full force just like last week. How does the whole house fall apart in two tiny days? I beg you, tell me. So I am off and running like a marathoner.
Kids off
Lunches made
Laundry started
Kitchen clean, mopped
Bathrooms sparkly
Now if I could just...
Strip beds
Clean my room
Dust
Vacuum
I will be a happy girl!!!
It would be much easier without Sam's piles of stuff.
GAH!
But I love him.
So what do you do???
