M.E.

So what does M.E. stand for…well it stands of Mommy’s Exhausted. Chandler is sick. Kaitlyn is sick. My laundry is there, dishes are there, and everything else that I am doing! Thankfully God new I was going to have a long day today…and I must say that he has given me extra patience. But I am just physically tired. Me and Tony are getting away on November 9th and 10th with some friends…and I am so looking forward to that. Just to be without my precious darlings for 2 days. I love them to pieces but it is time to recharge!!!

At the doctors office today, I had my water sitting on the chair, and I told Chandler quite moving around or the drink is going to fall. So the drink falls and goes everywhere. I got get paper towels and bend over to pick it all up and Chandler and Benjamin start singing “I see mommies underwear” I said, “boys shhhhh everyone can here you” They just got louder and louder and were laughing and thought it was so funny. I did not think it was so funny since everyone at that point was looking at my rear end to see if they could see my underwear. Or that is how it felt anyways.

Tonight is boot camp. I am so addicted to this. It hurts like crazy, but I always feel so good when I am done. If anyone is interested in seeing what I do you can go to: www.jaysbootcamp.com or just watch the show “I wanna Look Like a High School Cheerleader Again”. We do a lot of the same workouts!

Just call me G.I Jane

That is what I felt like at boot camp last night. We did our mile. Well I did half a mile cause it felt like someone was stabbing my chins with knives. I just could not do it. Then we warmed up and then he said to go get in groups of three with your log. LOG??? Did I hear you right??? Oh yes indeed I did. I am guessing it weighed 20 pounds. We ran around all over the place with this on our shoulders. We would stop every so often and do an exercise with our log. Exhausted would be a great word for how I felt when I was done. And boy did I sleep so good last night. Since starting boot camp I sleep like a baby. Now if I could only get more water down me. I really hate water. Dont know why, I just do. I have a pretty cup that I do like to put water in. It kind of helps me to drink it. I know, I know…so ridiculous, but you have to do whatever it takes right!?

Tonight I am having a Mary Kay party. That should be fun. I need to run to the store in a bit and get some appetizer stuff. We are home today…just cleaning and hanging out. It feels so good to just be home and relax. And I get to lay Kaitlyn and Ben down for there nap. Which I miss doing, since I am working.

Okay my little monkey is singing at the top of his lungs for me to come and watch Blues Clues with him.

Another boot camp done…

Well I got another boot camp day done, and it was so painful. At one point I thought my heart was going to pop right out. And my legs just hurt from all the running. But I know it is so good for me. So I continue doing it. One of my friends from work will be coming with me on Saturday. So that will be fun. You really have to keep your eyes on the goal of what you want when you do this because it is easy to loose that. It is a good discipline for me though.

Tony is taking my eldest out for a surprise night of fun tonight. They are going to go to the studio movie grill and watch a movie. I know he will be so excited when he finds out he is going out with dad. As for me I plan on putting the other kids to bed early so that I can have some mommie time. Which means silence. I know one day I will look back and miss that (maybe I will), but for now every so often I have to recharge my batteries with silence.

For Thanksgiving we are going to take the family to Mexico on mini missions outreach. We were going to be visiting and orphanage but it has just shut down. And the other one does not need help right now. So we found a family that we will be ministering to. We will be bringing them each a new outfit and new shoes, jacket and a toy if it is a child. There are 5 children and 8 adults that live in this home. They lost what they had due to the river over flooding. We will be buying them groceries when we get across the border and having dinner with there whole family. I am really excited about it all. My school where I work is getting behind this and the classrooms will be helping with donations. So if you pray, pray cause I want this to be a very special thing for this family. The city we are going to is not one of the safest ones. So it is still up in the air if all our kids will go with us. I am still thinking about it with Tony. And you might be wondering what is there to think about, well I still really have the mentality of an MK…which means even though it is not the safest I think they will be fine. But I dont want to risk anything either. See I just don’t know. I think I will leave the final decision to Tony.

Life is just good right now. When I think about the problems that some people have…I have it made in the shade. I am thankful for blessed days. I am thankful for each of my kids. I am thankful for my most amazing husband, who I absolutely adore. I have some wonderful friends…you know who you are. God has been so good to me. And I dont deserve any of it. Yet I am so thankful that he has entrusted me with what I have. He is good!

Enjoy the pictures!
