Exercise meets Sponge Bob

So a fact you may not guess about me is that I get up 5 days a week to exercise.  I'm not kidding I really get out of bed 5 days a week before the sun is even out so that I can exercise.  I have been doing it for almost a year now.  And you want to know a little secret? I HATE IT!!! Everyday I have to talk my self into it.  Not one day goes by that I don't have to drag my sorry but out the door. All the while that little voice in my head is saying, "Hey, hey dummy what are you doing it is dark, go back to bed, hey I'm not done sleeping get back to bed NOW.") But at last I don't for reasons I won't go into right now.  However, it has dawned on my that my attitude about getting up early is not helping me accomplish getting up and going.  And as I have been reflecting this bad attitude I have I happened to be watching TV with my kids and Sponge Bob came on.  Truthfully I don't really get Sponge Bob but this particular show started with Sponge Bob running out his pineapple house singing, "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready."  It made me think that if I would wake up with that alarm and say to myself, "I'm ready, I'm ready." Maybe just maybe I would quit hating getting up at 5:00 everyday.  At least once a day I tell Alex that your attitude dictates the kind of day you are going to have.  Maybe I should start listening to my own advice.  So tomorrow when I get up you will be sure I will be saying, "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready."  Until I finally believe it.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
