Spring means time for spring cleaning

April 29, 2009 by 1 Comment

Can you believe that spring is already here.  The rain we have been getting here has caused our grass to grow super fast.  All the beautiful spring flowers have started to pop up all over the place.  We have began to plant our garden.  Every where I look spring is peeking out at me.  Including the cleaning my house needs.

I alway do a spring cleaning and a fall cleaning.  I get down and dirty.  I clean things, get rid of things, organize things.  I know the family hates when I get this way but they love the clean house they get afterwards.

This year I am a member of  ListPlanit and I love it there. As many of you know I am a huge list, paper and pen person so when I found out about listplanit I was so excited.  I found this awesome spring cleaning list.  WOOOOOO HOOOOOO.  That is what I am talking about.  Now I am sitting down and assigning some of the cleaning chores to hubby and the kids.

So how do you go about your spring cleaning?

Me fit, you fit, Wii Fit

My hubby and I finally decided that it was time to get a wii fit.  I was so excited but did not think I would get addicted as fast as I did.  I have been struggling with my weight for sometime now.  It is like a major roller coster.  One day I am doing awesome the next day I would do horrible.  Until we got the wii fit.

We have had the wii fit for 7 days tomorrow and I am happy to say that that only day that I did not work out was on Sunday.  I started out light but now I am at 30 minutes of working out each day on the wii fit.  I love it. I can not get enough of it.  I have unlocked so much I was amazed and I really did miss not working out on Sunday.

I have decided I am going to get the some more different games and workouts that can go with the wii fit.  I was so happy after we had a long weekend of eating out all weekend that I did not gain a pound.  Ok, ok maybe I did not loss anythign either but I did not gain.  That is awesome.

I have started looking for some support groups that I can join for the wii fit. Do you know of a support group I could join?

I Love So Strong

April 3, 2009 by 1 Comment

loveI was watching ER tonight and I got super emotional.  A man lost his wife after they had been together for 72 years.  Can you imagine 72 years.  To loss something you have had for 72 years day in and day out.  I can’t imagine how broken his heart must feel.  How lonely he must all the sudden feel.

This month Jim and I will be married 5  years and together longer.  I can’t even begin to think or imagine all the sudden never seeing him, never holding him in my arms, never looking into his beautiful eyes and telling him I love him.  And it is not even close to 72 years.

It is so amazing that God Created Jim for me.  Sometimes my love is so strong that it really does hurt.  It hurts to be away from him.  I get scared if I can’t get a hold of him.  I worry when he does not call me on is break.  No you can say I am obsessed and I will tel you I am.  I am truly utterly in love with my husband.

I sometimes struggle to be the wife God created me to be. I sometimes struggle to tell him I love him after we have fought.  But I need to think of how I would feel if I did not tell him I loved him as he walked out the door.  So reminder to myself.  Always say I love you and don’t go to bed mad.
