I wish I had fun things to share or cool pics to post.

I cannot believe it’s the end of April. What do I have to show for 2010 so far? I’ve gained all but 1 of the 10lbs I lost during my bootcamp. I am on my 3rd sinus infection that seriously won’t go away! I recently got a review from my salon boss that I am a “model employee” (I just really wish that would reflect on my paycheck!). We got to see our newest niece Eveyln Woolf be blessed at church, I love her cheeks!!!

We completely organized our basement and got rid of so much randomness it was such a stress reliever that we moved on to our closets and drawers! Oh the things I do to de-stress. I have also reclaimed my housekeeping duties. Not that our house was ever messy, but I had become a lazy housekeeper that included laundry shoved in the basement until I started wondering where all my clothes were…as we speak there is less than a load of laundry to do! I let the dishes sit in the dishwasher (clean) for a few days b/c we rarely ate together or at home really due to our schedules. I now make sure everything is put away the same day. I make our bed now AND use our fancy decorative pillows. We used to “fix” our bed right before we were about to go to sleepy land. I feel like my motivation is back, I like that! OCD here I come!

It’s been a year since our last miscarriage and 7 months from my appointment with the endocrinologist that basically told me (my interpretation of course)
DR: “I’m really sorry you don’t have insurance, but we do offer a discount – so after your discount it will be about
$2500 for all the testing we need to do on you, when should we start?”
ME: “I’ll get back to you on that”

June will be our 3 year mark on our journey to become parents. I cannot tell you the peace I’ve felt from my Heavenly Father that everything is going to workout. Faith without works is dead, right? Praying for strength is a daily occurrence! I will say, I amaze myself sometimes at how well I have calmed down about this subject. James is happy about it too! HA!

We have had over $800 in car repairs that have included a trip to Kmart at 8 a.m. so I could take the kids to the pool (please ask if you are unsure of what that entails) The hood anymore

I had a not so pleasant confrontation with a friend – I have to say I am proud of myself that I stood my ground and didn’t just shrug my shoulders about it. Although I am over it now and we are still friends.

I went to the dr. to get my sugars checked out (I have the beginning stages of type 2 diabetes) and considering I am supposed to go every year to make sure i’m A-OK…and I hadn’t gone for over 3 years I am happy to report things are good. Obviously my voluptuous stature was talked about. As usual I AM going to lose the weight and have started working out again and writing down what I eat.

I have added occasionally going dancing with friends to my list of social activities. If you know me, this is not uncommon. I love to shake my groove thang while people watch at the same time. It is funny.

So that’s what I’ve got to show for 2010 so far! Life is definitely “A funny thing happened on the way to heaven”
