Icky.

So I am here at home, with mah dogs. Sick.

and it sucks because I have NO VOICE. Not to mention I'm stuffy.

I was feeling pretty good last night as we made the drive back home from my in-laws, but the closer we got to home the stuffier I got. Not to mention that this morning was not very pleasant. Again I had weird dreams last night and woke up with my throat hurting more that the previous two days. Hubby is pretty sure I have laryngitis, he is probably right. I didn't want to make the kids sick or anyone else sick at church so I stayed home. Which is good because I didn't get a lot of rest yesterday and I'm pretty sure it's working its way out of me.

My best friend is going to let me borrow her humidifier(i totally need to buy one!!!!) so hopefully I'll be all better much faster!!

More Organization!

Well first off let me tell you that I wrote a few more pages in one of my books! But I am starting to worry that I'm ruining the whole thing, I've never actually finished one of my books. Or gotten this close to the end... eek!

So yesterday I was inspired again. This time it was Martha Stewart.

the before

the after

the before, I actually took a few things out before taking this pict!

the after!

yay me. I am gettin mah house in order!

Well I'm hoping for a busy day today. So far on my plate: going to the gym, vacuuming the car, having lunch with Josh, possibly meeting with a friend, possibly having dinner with a friend...But I need something to fill the slots in between.

I leave you with a video of my dogs! Please excuse the messy room(it was laundry time).

Buck Fever

For all ya'll that aren't country, buck fever is not curable.

I wish I had a few bucks from last year, but I didn't shoot any and neither did Josh. But this year is going to be different! We BOTH will be hitting our bag limit!! WOOT WOOT!

That means that all the tags that we buy for deer are going to be used!

Deer meat is amazing if you cook it right! My mom is actually going to give us a bunch of meat because she and Jim-dad don't really like it. Their loss my gain!!

Okay so I really flunked on my weight loss challenge. And I am going to get on the band wagon. It is time for me to seriously get toned up and into shape. I would post a picture if I wasn't so insecure about it! I'll probably just do a before and after once I get where I want to get. I may do milestone marks...we'll see lol!

(My buck fever is horrible...)

Gotta go! I'm being pulled from the computer

Monday To Do List!

Ugh is it just me or do the Monday come with huge to do lists?

It doesn't help that I am a bit of a procrastinator and I usually get things started at like 2...

Well I got the okay from Josh to do the things to the front yard that I'm wanting to do. But I have to take it all apart when we start to brick the house :( I can survive though because the way things are looking that going to be next year and I will probably want to redo the whole thing by then. On my checklist for that I need:

1. Landscaping timbers

2. Dirt, GOOD dirt!

3. That black mesh/tarp to keep the weeds away

4. Some more plants.

Right now we've got zinnias and I may have a carnations popping, not sure yet! I think I may add some sort of grass thing and maybe some sunflowers...

I'm really excited as to where this is going to go. I also want to put some more fill dirt in the back yard but Josh pointed out that there really is no way to get it back there. See we kind of live on a slope, an almost hill but not quite. The rain is slowing washing all the ground away from my house and I really don't like it. Right now I really can't do anything about it since we are going to brick the house because it will all have to be dug away. So I guess I'm going to have to suffer until it's all over with!

If you can't tell I like list. As much as I like list it's the "to do's" that make always make me stumble. So far I have only checked off one thing, and it's only partially checked off as I'm waiting for my insurance agent to get back to me. Only 11 things are left!

One Week Mark!

One week...one whole week

And I am not as far as I want to be but oh well.

So to The Real Housewives(of New Jersey). As mush as Joshua can't stand it, I like it almost as much every other woman loves it. But I love it because I try to keep drama out of my life. The only place i want drama is on my tv! I'm going to go ahead and Amen myself on that one lol! Oh and it (both house wive shows I watch ie New York and New Jersey) reminds me of who I don't want to be.

I plan to one day have a good chunk of change in my/our account. I will not be blwoing it on frivolous things or throwing it away on stupid expensive clothes. I will be doing a lot for people in need. I am NO saint nor am I trying to be "look at me and what I do/can do" kind of thing. See this is how I see it, when I die that money is all staying here on Earth, ain't none of going to heaven and what would I rather be remembered for?? For being really rich? Or for helping others and showing the love of Christ?

P.S. If any housewives do read this please tone the cussing down and if you're going to keep referencing Christ take his teachings into consideration with your actions, your words and your clothes. Please.

Anyways I have failed on my watering drinking today. Not to mention my bible reading, and post card sending. I may need to tone that down to one post card a month or every two weeks. BUT I did write some of one of my stories!! woohoo I'm getting closer to the end!

hmm..I don't have any pictures to throw in so I'm going to go to bed! Night!

My hero

So I finally figured out how I was going to accomplish #93 for this week! I told Joshua how much he means to me and how much I love him and how I see how hard he works for me and all that he does.

Not to mention I just told him he was my hero for conquering the jungle in the back yard!! I am so proud and happy, he even conquered the one in the dog pin! yippee!!

Did I mention I was in tears this morning as I told him all of the above things? Yeah he really appreciated it.

Well we helped our best friends move and it was a lot of fun. We got to meet some of his military buddies, they were great and such a help. Unloading was SO MUCH faster. I love spending time with them, they really are some of our best friends, pretty much like family!

Day Six

And the world comes crashing down.

I'm obviously writing this early, it's about 830, so that early enough on a Saturday. Well we have over drawn our account. And I completely take the blame for it, I've been holding onto my insecurities and fears. Now look what it's done. So I am taking this as a pretty good sign from God that I need to step it up and be the woman he made me to be.

See I pray for boldness all the time and trust me I'm more bold than I was back in the day, but I still have stumbling blocks that I need to work over. Which I am going to do and I am going to make both God and my husband proud. From now on it's pedal to the medal, hitting the ground running kind of deal. If I want to be a Corporate Director(and honestly I want to go way farther than that) then I need to do something about it. I need to be the outgoing girl I really am and I need to get things going by taking the advice of those who have already succeeded before in this business. I'll make mistakes(like I did yesterday) but from every mistake I make I learn something and will not make that mistake again. That mistake will get me where I want to be.

Right now I am poor and there is nothing wrong with it. God would never put me in a situation that is too big for HIM. There is nothing he can't handle(obviously) and this is all just going to help me grow in him. Sure things are hard, but they won't always be. I won't let them.

'If GOD be fore me, then who can be against me?'

love it.

Also I have been slacking in my reading of the word, I was going to get up this morning at 6am and read but I just couldn't. I let me flesh get in the way, I was so tired and I really should have gotten up. So two night I will be spending two hours reading. No tv, no internet tv and no music with words, only classical.

Sorry I just had to get all of this off my chest! Don't worry there will be more later!
