Peace

Happy Saturday!!!

Fabulous weekend review

* I unplugged from the computer for 24 hours from Friday night to Saturday night and this is just what I needed.

* I watched movies and chilled for the majority of my weekend.

* I am working out and it is kicking my rear...literally...but I love the feeling afterwards.

* I slept and napped and enjoyed it!

* My dad and brother stopped by on their way home from a boy scout camp out and hung my blackout curtains. I still see a light during the day but see NONE of the street light outside my window now...YIPPEE!!! I can finally sleep in my bed rather the couch.

* I found the store Mardel and just enjoyed walking around today.

* I took time for me and enjoyed every minute of it!

Back to the grind tomorrow and I am actually looking forward to what the rest of the week brings!

Several told me to...

RELAX and REST

& I am finally taking your advice.

I will be back with NMM tomorrow, but for now...

I just plan to chill, relax, and rest :)

Round 2: The Shred...day 11

Ok, I will admit it that I took a much needed break this weekend and did not workout on Saturday or Sunday...gasp!! I think I needed it since I slept most of Saturday :) So today...I started level two tonight {again} and actually found ease in it. Yes it was still brutal...but not as bad and went by really quick. Hopefully it will go quickly in the morning as well :o

Sweet Dreams!!!

Time to relax

This weekend, I will be MIA for the most part. I don't have Monday off though so I will be back to posting on Sunday night/Monday. I am taking some time for myself and enjoying it.

Oh and brother won is football game last night...12-0

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Finally the weekend...

This past week has been exhausting, fun, adventurous, exciting, and non-stop ALL week long. VBS during the AM & PM sessions was FABULOUS and pictures will come soon. But right now, I am resting w/a sinus infection plus an ear infection times two. So I will catch up with all your posts soon. Right now, I am enjoying the weekend OFF and I hope you do too. Have a great weekend to your family and you!

Being spontaneous

I've noticed a trend lately, I seem to become a debby downer by the end of the week since school/life seems to speed up and get rough. Yes I still blog, but actually have had no motivation to post lately. I am tired and wiped when I get home, so imagine trying to do homework, laundry, cleaning, cooking, checking emails, and blogging while sleepy. Mind you, I did not sleep well at all last night because I decided to change my dull weekend this weekend.

This weekend, my friend and I are driving to Lampasas and being spontaneous. We both have a required event on Saturday morning, but around 2ish tomorrow, we are hitting the road. Destination: no phone service, no Internet, just peace and quiet plus being able to see my mom, dad, brother, brother's friend, sister, and sister's friend as a plus.

My dad and his company have several hundred acres of land (where they hunt as well) and everyone is heading up there this weekend. They are already there and looking forward to my friend's and mine's arrival. I am hoping it is just a 2.5-3 hour drive. My friend will be my direction helper since I have never gone from collegetown to Lampasas before. Yes I have been from my house, but it is different...me driving and no parents to direct. So if you think of me tomorrow, pray for safe travel and direction. I have an idea and map to where I am going, but it is just different w/o the parentals there.

Dad and I had a conversation last night too and he asked why I was driving 3 hours there for just about 20 hours, then driving back and starting another week off. My words exactly..."I need a vacation and this is the only one I can get for another month." I need this little retreat. Yes, it's only for a couple of hours, but it is something. He may not understand, but I am so excited for this. I promise to take LOTS of pictures and relax just a wee bit.

As for the homework front, I am taking some with me and am hoping to type up stuff that is due Monday. Oh and did I forget to mention that I am teaching 15 home school kiddos PE for 45 minutes Monday...well I am. So I am hoping to get my lesson plans and activities done ASAP too.

Hope you all have a great weekend. Relax a little and enjoy time off :) I will be back on Monday to do the Not Me Monday and do I have LOTS to report too. Enjoy the sweet weekend folks!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!

TGIF

Thank goodness it is Friday...I have learned a few things today that I thought I would share. I actually like down time now. If you read yesterday's post, I was like a deer in the headlights with nothing to do. But then something happened...do not know what...but life was a little nicer today.

I worked this morning then went to run errands and run to Target just to look around. I got a magazine and then went to Hastings and got another magazine to read. Then I grabbed a salad and came back to my apartment. NOW, I am in bed blogging. I actually like all this downtime. I like no stress and LOVE being able to sit and relax for just a little bit. I love the feeling and will take hold of it today! Thanks for all of your kind words and encouragement over these last few days. I am learning to relax again and it feels great!

Have a wonderful evening!!!!

Late night thoughts

Finally got cleaned up from the game and it was sure a slaughter. Burleson lost 14-56 to Permian. The referees were AWFUL and boy was it COLD outside. I had on four layers plus a blanket and was still cold at the end. Still had fun though and would do it again in a heartbeat. Gotta love Texas football!!!

I finally gave in and turned on my heater tonight. Even though last night's low was 25. It was not that bad. I think being cold when I got home tonight did me in. I am still trying to get warm while under the covers and drinking tea. For me to be cold, it is definitely cold outside.

I have been dealing with lots of stress lately and yes I do have lots of homework this weekend, but am excited to relax a little this weekend.

I can not believe that 2oo8 is almost over. It seems just like yesterday when it started and it is almost gone. Sometimes I wish time would stop or pause so I could live each moment to the fullest.

Enjoy your day today!!!!

Coming home soon...

I got a call from my daddy tonight. Basically he was wanting to know when I was coming home. I have not been home in 2.5 months. With school, work, and life; things have gotten a tad busy, okay, REALLY busy. I have set a date though. I will go home on October 31st through November 2nd. I will also see one of my sister's last games (in the band) as a senior-tear!!! I can not believe my little sister is a senior. So my sister is a senior and my brother's voice is changing-oh where does the time go?

So I told my dad that I was coming home and he said that he would have to check his "schedule." I totally laughed at him. Who does he think he is talking to? His oldest baby who he has not seen in 2.5 months. My mom told me that he wanted to know when I would be at XXXX Lane and so I told him I would be on XXXX Lane on October 31.

My dad is so sweet and caring to me. We have a very special relationship that I have always cherished. He is one of my biggest supporters and I love him dearly!!!! In the picture is my little (not any more) sister and dad. Best picture I could find at this moment.

Coming home soon

Gone baby gone...

I will be out of town tonight and will get back late on Saturday night. My family has to take a church picture tonight so guess who gets to go home again? ME! Tomorrow I plan to relax and get some sun, but I will post a new post on Sunday.

Have a great weekend!!!

Remember to Relax!!!
