Is it Friday yet?

I have had the weirdest feeling tonight! I tried to explain to Chip like this:

"It's already Thursday, but it's not Friday yet?"

How can I feel like the week has flown and drug all at once? Well, I'm grateful that at least it's Thursday and not Tuesday! One more day to the weekend and a break from every day life...I think ;) Well, as a mommy, I don't get too much of a break, but at least Chip is home and the kids would much rather hang out with him than mommy. That is completely ok with me! I would rather hang out with him than me too!

My goals are still going strong. I'm exercising more than I was at the beginning of the year, so that is good. I've also kept up on reading my scriptures. YAY!!! Now, if I could remember to do my scriptures in the morning, I'll bet it would help my days go smoother. One thing at a time, I guess!

Going Strong!

I want to thank my dear friends that left comments for me already :) I HEART you all ;)

I've been doing well so far. Haven't eaten out at all this year. That makes nearly a whole week, you know! I've also been good about exercising again. Although, having the wii fit novelty is still helping there. I know I can keep it up though because Chip is committed to keep me committed. LOL!

I've also kept up on my scripture reading. I decided to start in 2nd Nephi while I'm motivated so I can get through the Isiah chapters. Then I'll move on to Alma because it's the longest. After that, finishing should be a breeze!!!

Please keep checking on me. It helps!!!

New year=changes!

Ok, so I've taken quite a break from my blog. Just so you all know, I did finish all five seasons of Lost and can't wait until February 2nd!!!

That aside, I think it's time for me to make some new year's resolutions. I really want people to ask me how I'm doing on these. I want to be responsible for reporting to someone, kwim? So, first, I'm going to be healthier. We've had many conversations with sis about how exercise and eating right is about making us healthy, not skinny. I've been a bit concerned that she even knows the word "skinny" let alone that she thinks about it. So, in order to be healthier, I'm going to eat at home. No more quick runs to McDonald's or Wendy's because I don't feel like making lunch for the kids. Not only will we eat healthier, but we'll save a lot of money! I will not limit myself to NEVER eating out, but only on dates with Chip or girls nights.

I've also come to the conclusion that having too many goals may as well be having NO goals for me. So, I am making two goals for at least the first part of the year. My second goal is to read/listen to scriptures every day. I don't know why this one is so hard for me. I love to read, and I know I feel the spirit when I read my scriptures. I need to buckle down and DO it!

So, here is the goal for all of my readers (if I still have any). I want you all to post a comment to my blog every week or two asking me how my goals are going. At least, I would like it if you would...pretty please :)

I'm Lost

Yep, I haven't posted in a while and I'm blaming Netflix and Lost. See, Netflix has 4 seasons on their watch instantly feature. I never watched Lost on TV because I had heard it was so addictive and I just didn't have the time or desire to get into it. Well, because of Netflix, I can watch how ever many episodes I want whenever I want to. YAY!!! So, the spare seconds I have had, I've spent watching Lost rather than writing on my blog. That's where all this is going.

In other news, my 2nd angel's birthday is coming up. Nov. 2nd it will be a year when I lost my baby. I still think of her every single day. And when I think of her, I think of Angel, my 1st miscarried baby. These babies are forever in my heart. I wish I could say I had a new baby in my womb to sooth my broken heart during this difficult time, but I can't.

What I do have are my amazing husband and sweet children. I don't know what I would do without them in my life. They keep me going when times are difficult. They love me even when I'm grumpy. I am so blessed.

OMGosh!!!

I needed this

"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude." - Elder Wirthlin

I've shed so many tears since this time last year. I'm looking forward to the tears of rejoicing and gratitude.
