Quick update

I am so sorry for not blogging lately. I cannot believe how exhausted I am. I guess it is my age creeping up one me-I will be 46 this Friday you know.
I am still playing catchup after working 58 hours in one week at work! Can you believe it? Kind of much for a partime job!!!!! The next week I think had almost 30, I never had a chance to catch up. This Friday I have 16 ladies for the card class in Mulberry. My classes are growing like crazy. Cindy is coming over tomorrow to help package the card kits. I hope she realizes they are planned in my head and not made yet!!! Hopefull I will be well on my way with getting them done before she gets here.
It is allergy nightmare right now, I can hardly breathe, my head, eyes, ears, and throat are killing me with the stuff in the air. A doctor on the news said to not open windows or doors. He also said when you come in from outside, strip down, and take a shower-ya right, who has time to keep doing that? Anyway I am miserable and just want it to all go away. I'm hoping the weather cooperates and lets all the plants bloom sop we can go on!

On a more positive note , my baby boy turned 14 on Friday!! I cried at the thought of him growing up so fast. He is a good kid and I am happy to have him as my son. The youth went to the Temple on Saturday and they sang Happy Birthday to him at CICIS pizza on the way home. He is looking forward to his first dance in April.
I just finished mopping m y kitchen floor and I am now heading off to bed.
Good night to all and remember I am sending love to all!

LOVE TO ALL

Always amazes me, my youngest girl!

Brinae has started a blog and is so spiritual. YOu need to check it out. eternalperspectives123@blogspot.com
Donnell, Kay, and Tammy helped me to do the Zone Coneference it was fun and our parmesan chicken was a hit!! Remember those days Lindsay?
It is so neat to be amongst all the missionaries and feel of their special spirit they carry with them. It was a really good day today.
Tomorrow will be another long long LONG day! Donnell and I are taking Brinae, Staci, and Sasha to see David Archuletta in concert in Oklahoma City. We are leaving right after Seminary in the morning. They will be camped out at the center as it is general admission seating. They have plans to make signs, play games, and jam to the music! I had to go get a new driver's licence as mine got lost. Donnell had bought the tickets with my card, so I need ID to pick them up. The girls' were worried that I wouldn't get one in time. They are really excited.
Love to all!

Woo Hoo! 20 lbs!!!!

Today I marked the 20 pound mark. I really wanted to be in new numbers, but I will take the 20 pounds. I am hoping for 4 pounds this week so I can be in new numbers. It will be tough as I have all day training on Friday and it is at a 4H ranch. It is for the children's programs and we go every year, but lunch is cooked there. We also have our 6 - midnight crop on Friday and 10-6 on Saturday at the library. I am hoping I can do more exercise this week. I am feeling almost normal now.
I have to go and drive Bryan to work so I need to get going. We had an awesome day at Church, Elder Hastings came for Brother Zeb's funeral and it was good to see him. He has a wife and cute baby boy. We will miss Zeb, he was funny, sweet, kind, and had the most hickish accent I have ever heard. We teased him and he just teased us back. THe ward will not be the same without him.

Love to all!

First 5 Give away - yay a prize, a present from me!

I read Lindsay's blog and signed up for something made by her. She had signed up under Serenity and I thought "how stinking cool is this?" Most have a sixth restriction stating that y ou have to pay it forward and offer the same thing on your blog or face book. I am not including that as I know some of my readers don't have these. If you want to offer something in your own way through email, blog, or whatever, that is up to you. Feel free to leave me a comment and try to be the first five.

First Five Gimme Gimme
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! my choice. for you. this offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. what I create will be just for you.
3. it’ll be done this year. {translation: you may be waiting a little while}
4. you have no clue what it’s going to be … it may be cards, a poem, a bookmark, something yummy or a complete surprise to you (and me!) … who knows? not you, that’s for sure!
5. i reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

I'm already thinking of so many fun things to make.

SICK, SICK, and Sick

Well, you can tell something was up as I haven't been on here. I cannot remember ever being as sick as I was. I think I had the full blowout flu. I started feeling sick on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday I had to call in and boy it started, Friday I felt a little better. I had dinner and walked for a mile and then that night got a relapse. I was worse on Saturday and Sunday then I had been earlier in the week. I feel better today, except I feel like a semi has run me over!
I have more to tell some great news and a give away but that will wait for tomorrow as I am dead on my feet or in my chair!
Love to all!

Basketball

We went to see the Mulberry HIgh School game. I had promised Connor that we would go to one, this was the last one. It was very good to see him play. He lives and breathes the game. He is just like another one of my kids. I had a really good time, sitting with Cindy and seeing some of the Mulberry natives that we used to see and visit with. There a couple of boys from Church on the team so it was nice to see them play also. The other team had a mentally challenged player and when they put him in it was awesome watching all the boys from both teams. Our boys stepped back when his teammates threw him the ball and he tried to make a basket. A few times it hit the rim and off . WHen he finally made the basket everyone in the gym celebrated! THe look on his face was priceless, my eyes filled while I watched him take in the moment. OUr boys won and did a super great job. I wish now that we had attended more of the games. Donnell says next year our Connor will be big man on the campus!(3 were seniors tonight)
Breakfast-none(I know bad)
lunch-6 inch sub
dinner- nachos bel grande
snack- only a couple of sugar free sweethearts
water-66 ozs
exercise-walked a mile and a half

I know I did not eat well this week, not by eating bad stuff, but by not eating enough

Sunday is weigh in day.
