GYM...Today Is The Day!

Today is the day. For the first time since I pulled my groin muscle about three years ago and had to get a shot in my butt because I'd gone into a full muscle spasm...I'm going to the gym. I always find some excuse not to go. Whether it's, I'll just try and get into shape while walking my dog an extra mile. I'll do some floor exercises while watching t.v. Or, my personal favorite...moving my elliptical machine from the garage up into my room. I then used it for about 2 weeks and now it just serves as a really good obstacle course to get out of my room.

So today is the day. I've been talking myself into it since yesterday. I want to feel good again. I want to stop having so many aches and pains. I want to find amazing places to go hiking with my hubby and be able to finish the hike without limping the whole way back down!

Wish me luck...

Ultimate Procrastinator

So we will start moving stuff today...I still haven't packed a thing.

Wonder how all that stuff is going to get into those boxes lying around the room...hmmm...

Anyone think I'm the worst procrastinator in the whole world?

Christmas Vacation and Basketball

Football is over and I was looking forward to basketball season for a little break in the rushing around. It isn't exactly happening the way I planned it. With Elijah playing on his Jr. High team and PC Hoops, Adam playing on the freshman team and Jullien and Dillon are playing PC Hoops also....my schedule is still crazy! I've been getting home at 9 or 10 every night!

I'm starting to do a countdown for my vacation...I can't wait to get away, three years is just too long. In the meantime I'm trying to find some place for my dog to stay. I don't want to put her at one of those boarding places. They just keep them in cages and then take them out for walks. Allie (my husky) NEVER is put in a cage...she will lose her mind! So I've been racking my brain trying to think of someone who can keep her for us.

As with any trip there is so much planning and I'm a spur of the moment type of person, this organizing and scheduling stresses me out. On top of it all, Elijah goes in for foot surgery on Tuesday, then he has to stay off of school the rest of the week before vacation. I've been contacting his teachers to try and get all of his homework lined up so he isn't swamped with work when he gets back from vacation.

I still have done ZERO Christmas shopping. I have to get something for all of my family in Utah and my kids to take with us since we'll be arriving on Christmas Eve...which is usually the day I do ALL my shopping, (terrible procrastinator). I need to by for my step kids since they can't come with us and Anthony's family. I'm working everyday and we will be leaving on the 23rd right after I get off work...I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!

This weekend we have both football banquets for Jullien and Elijah, 3 basketball games, and I get to go on my birthday photo excursion...so this weekend is definitely out. Knowing me, I will wait till the 22nd to do anything and then yell at my poor husband because I need help. Uh oh, I'm getting stressed talking about all of this stuff...I'm going to bed so I don't have to think about it! HELP!!!
