School days!

Hey all!!

Life has been kinda crazy these past 2 months..I have been trying to keep the kids entertained during summer and trying NOT to kill them when they utter the phrase" I'm bored". And with family coming and going, family ending up in hospitals, friends whom I have been constantly praying for because they are fighting for their life...I just haven't really wanted to blog.
I haven't really thought of anything to blog about.....

THEN SCHOOL STARTED!!!!


I am totally loving the peace and quiet..well....its never totally quiet around here because I have 2 furry kids that love to bark and play in the back yard. Anyways....about the kids, Kylie started 7th grade. That means she is going to a totally NEW school and she has 7 class periods a day. She even has a locker when I was in 7th grade my locker was half the size of hers. ( She is having a rough time in the mornings...she is not really a social butterfly...but she loves having a least 1 buddy around and she really doesn't have that. So she does get upset and cries, then she's fine. I think its cuz everything is so new to her...she hasn't quit adjusted to it yet) Oh, and she gets to ride the bus! Which I am not sure if she likes it this week, but when she was younger we lived in an apartment complex and she had to ride the bus and she loved it. She would get so mad at me when I made her stay home from school do to illness...cuz she wouldn't get to see Nancy(her bus driver).

Let's see Leslie is in 3rd grade and she has a couple of friends in her class..but she was so nervous for this year to begin that she didn't get a good night sleep on Monday. She said she just couldn't shut her mind off. But she is okay now, she loves her teacher and her bestie is sitting close to her in the classroom.

And then there is Sam... He loves Kindergarten...he loves being with kids his own age. For those of you who know Sam...he has his mind set on certain things and he doesn't really like to listen anyone.This brings me great anxiety for next week when he and Leslie walk to school alone, with out me. I am worried that he will try to cross the street by himself, and that he will not wait for his sister. Yes, the school has teachers out there to help the kids cross at the cross walk...but still.
For the most part he seems to be adjusting quit well...I am too! My only really big problem is that it seems like I get my workout done, a shower, then I start working on the kitchen then BAM!! It's 11:30 and I have to go pick up Sam. I really wish it was all day. But I realize that next year he will be in school all day then I will have all the alone time I want.

These past few months I have been reminded often that I just need to enjoy every moment that I have with them..life is far too precious to just sit and wish away. I will try my best to blog more often, however I am enjoying life too. I hope that you will too.

Nutritional tips...okay maybe NOT but its just things that I do

 Request after request came in and so yes.....I will write a nutritional guide..if you wanna even call it that. So..............(<<<<those dots were pointed out to me in my last blog by the hubbs..so these dots are for you!) Did you know that no matter how HARD you train...no matter how long you spend with Shawn T, or any other trainer that you love....its only 20%.   yep, ya'll heard me ONLY 20%!!!!!!!!!! I know my jaw hit the floor too when I was told this number! Surely there must be some kind of mistake! Well after hours of banging my head against a wall(okay so I was down on the floor throwing a temper tantrum like a 3 year old, kicking and flailing my arms...) I came to accept that no matter how hard I worked out the reason I was not seeing ANY results during the first part of my fitness journey was because diet is 80%.  I know...it sucks....but it is totally true. Hmmm well how am I going to eat healthy?? Well to be quit honest I just remember introducing

I almost surrendered

It has been a really long time since I have blogged last and I know that I said I was going to blog about Girls Camp..but I will eventually get to that..but these last 2 weeks have been so hard. Like harder than normal...I felt myself wanting to give in and give up to the pain in my heart.  I thought that this latest trial would break me...I feel as though I have noghting left to give. What am I suppose to learn from this that I haven't already learned from the last one. Well...I'll start from the beginning to get you guys caught up. I am a substitute teacher and I was subbing for my son's class for about 3 weeks because his teacher had to have surgery and she was out for a while. So I'm subbing for this teacher who is great and I sometimes wonder if I'm even qualified to fill her shoes cuz guys teaching is H.A.R.D!!! And I've known most of these kids for a while...I subbed last year for and so for the most part I'm pretty comfortable with the kids...

It's the Holiday season!!!

T'was the week before Christmas when all through district #91 some choir teachers thought it would be amusing to have 2 concerts in 2 separate schools on the same night.  The parents not so much! How exactly was I suppose to show support to both daughters?!! We did what any normal parents would do in this situation...  We split up, JUST FOR THE CONCERTS!! Talk about divide and conquer baby!! It was great! Ken and Sam went to Leslie's concert...which was themed The Polar Express. And it was cute. Ken was able to get a couple of cute pictures and a video. When I watched it when we met back home...I couldn't help it...I started to cry because I don't want to miss these precious moments of her life. I don't want her to look out into the audience of anything she performs in and be that one parent who doesn't show, I can't handle that look of disappointment in my children's faces.  So that left me...and my mom to go to Kylie's concert.
