Well, I feel bad. I said forever that I would NOT join facebook. I held out and was strong for about 2-3 months. Then, I joined and because of it, my poor blog has suffered.
What have we been up to?? ... well, let's see...we're getting geared up to start back preschool, we're running around for 2 different Tball practices and about to start Tball games for 2 different teams and I am teaching older 2's in my Community Bible Study which I am super excited about. I think that's about it.
We took the boys to the movies for the first time last Thursday night. It was a lot of fun. We saw Wall-E and treated them to Steak & Shake afterwards.
I've been on my quest for a healthier me since 8/1. So, that meant that last Friday marked 3 weeks. I am on a mission to run 4 miles, 3 days per week. I do have to say I'm a bit bummed I haven't lost any weight. I feel better though, but I am hoping for weightloss to come soon. I have been eating so much better with the exception of a couple indulgences. Maybe I need to run 4 days per week instead of 3.. we'll see what the final weight is this Friday when the month has officially ended. I'm trying to only put "weight" on the end of the month weigh-in instead of going by my daily weigh-ins.
So, for my couple of faithful readers... I will try and do better about posting!

3. I can write backwards!
3 current obsessions:
1. managing my weight by eating better
2. reading food labels
3. getting the greatest tunes for my iPod for jogging on the treadmill
3 goals:
1. lose weight and take better care of my spirit's tabernacle
2. to be the wife & mother God created me to be
3. to have a set quiet time every morning BEFORE the kids wake up
3 fears:
1. public speaking
2. snakes

Mad Rant...
I am so mad right now. I'm mad that there are people killing and just being down right cruel to children everywhere I turn. Yesterday morning, the first four news stories I read were: 1. Man & wife indicted on charges they nearly starved their 13 month old twin boys. 2. woman's 6 week old baby found dead, later found mom in nearby county-dead. 3. woman in SC shook a newborn baby to death b/c he wouldn't drink his bottle. 4. local man, Boy Scout leader suspected of molesting 10 boys. Then today I read a 25 year old woman left her 6 week old son in the back of a car with the heat index over 100 degrees. The child died. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?? Are they just as stupid as stupid gets or what?? Senseless killing and cruelty. I get aggravated & frustrated b/c I want to help children like this but I have no idea how. These kids needed a voice to help protect them. The people who were charged w/ the starvation thing were hooked on prescription drugs I read. Why are kids in these types of environments?? Where are child protective services?? Where are the other family members who could protect the kids?? Just makes me sad to know there are children everywhere without anyone to help shield them from the stupidness of others. ...SIGH...
