The sun is back...almost!

Finally I can open my blinds and have the sun shine in! I'm never up more than 5 minutes before opening the blinds throughout the entire house, there's just something with the natural light coming in that seems to brighten the day. Since it's been gloomy the last two days I realized how much I miss the suns ray's resting on the table as we eat breakfast. But now it's back. So open your blinds and enjoy a "brighter" day!

Cinnamon role for breakfast, chocolate and cookie for mid-morning snack, pizza for lunch, more chocolate for afternoon snack...it must be the holidays mixed in with a little stress. And I wonder why I can't drop a pound after exercising 6 days a week for at least 60 minutes each day...go figure.

Merry Christmas! May you enjoy your chocolate too!

No Yoga Tomorrow 12/18

If you've been coming to yoga read on...

I have to cancel tomorrow morning 12/18 the garage floor is a disaster from the rain and I have a young womens project going on in there right now that won't be done and cleaned up prior to 5am tomorrow. I will resume classes Tuesday Dec 23rd and 5:15am.

Please spread the word to anyone you know who typically comes!

Thanks so much and see you Tuesday.

Where's the home ec teacher when you need her?

I got the boys to bed early so I could attempt to sew the aprons for our young women for the Stake trek in 2 weeks. I made a lot of progress and after re-threading the bobbin by myself and re-threading the needle (it literally took me 70 minutes as I have never done it before and had to read the owners manual over and over again to understand it) I was back to sewing. I only had the ties left to sew for each apron...no problem. As I started on the first tie I heard a snap, my stinking needle broke...the entire needle cracked in half. I didn't know this was possible, what do I do now? I think my tongue started bleeding from biting it so hard so I wouldn't say a few choice words.

Today I am thankful for people that sew my clothes...if it was left up to me I would have joined a nudest colony years ago. Yikes, there's a scary thought.

Pure heaven

Heaven today was sipping hot chocolate made with milk (instead of water) looking out the window watching the rain fall while skimming over a magazine. It was 15 minutes of pure relaxation.

I know this won't make sense but...

Have you ever blinked and there you are.

It's like life has happened and now you in a place where you thought you'd be when your "old" but your not "old" but just a little "older" than you were when you were 17? It's crazy to think I'm at where I'm at...this is for "old" people and I'm not old. Or am I? I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm at where I wanted to be and that's a good thing. I've blinked and now I feel like I'm here...time flies. Again, I need a bottle to hold everything and everybody in place for just a few moments longer so I can sit back and enjoy it before I blink again and find myself really "old".

Here we are now.

Serenity Now

Oh my how the time flies...

The Christmas tree is up, lights are on the house and all four of the Christmas decorations are up around the house. Progress.

After attempting to help make five skirts for the stake trek that is coming up in a few weeks I realized I DON'T enjoy trying to do a project when I have no clue how to do it. Thank goodness for kind ladies in the ward that give of their time to help. After they left tonight I started to sew the aprons for the girls and after about 7 minutes my machine is jammed and because I have no clue how it works I have no clue how to fix it and it is to late to call anyone for help. I can officially say I'm a little ticked. After being in this calling for the last 90 days I can say I'm much more thankful for my young women's leaders, it can get a little harry at times. Luckily I have awesome counselors, secretary and adviser's who all pull their weight. I don't like saying "I'll be glad when the holidays are over" because it is the most special time of the year and I long to bask in the spirit of Christmas. However, it has been pretty hectic.

I think I defiantly over-scheduled myself this week and I'm hoping to hang on til the end without a nervous breakdown. For this too shall pass.

I wish I could bottle up my two year old and keep him forever as a two year old...I LOVE his little personality. He is so much fun. I can't get enough of him. And he can't get enough of the "lellow park"...he would live at this new park we found if I let him. I must go snuggle with him now...
