BIG BONES

Big Boned!!  I Absolutely HATE this saying ,when it comes to people's Weight, Especially my own. Who wants to hear that they " Are Pleasantly Plump or BIG BONED"?! I sure didn't want to, BUT

I've been doing some thinking lately and for almost a month, I have been Really emotional. Life with Willow (Grandma) has been Less than fun, and I have had so many emotions running through my head. I LOVE Willow So Much and have been so thankful for the good times, and the laughs, I know someday, I'll look back and be so grateful for ALL my time spent with her, even the less than glamorous times! Are you wondering where I'm Going with the Bones??    

This past 2 weeks, have become way more physical, when it comes to caring for Willow. She has become really dependant and is needing A lot of Physical help, It is Exhausting and I am honestly beat. I have cried so much, because I feel physically, mentally and emotionally tired, and I wish I could do more, but I can't!! It's so hard to feel like you are Failing the one person who counts on you!!
Anyways back to the Bones, I know that if I Didn't have these Big Bones, I would Not be able to do the things that are required of me at this point in the game, so because I'm trying to find the positive in the current situation, I am Grateful that I have Big Strong Bones, so I can lift and help the Willow out where she needs!!  Love Ya Willow

THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR, IS FEAR ITSELF

I Hate Fear, I hate how it freezes me! Silly statemnet, but it's so very True.
I have so many things that I would Love to do in this Life, and I don't because I let Fear stand in my way.
I've been thinking how many things I have passed up, because I was afraid for some reason or another.
I want to feel free. Sometimes I feel trapped and am not sure how to push through "My Fear Barrier"
I'm shy and awkward when I meet people, and have been told that I came across as unfriendly! I feel bad because that's not me, I Love people and learning about them, and becoming close friends. Friends are so important to me. They make my life Happy.
One of the things I have pushed aside is College
I am going to start the process soon to enroll ! I'm Terrified, but it's something I have wanted and needed to do For Years. I was crushed last week to find out that I didn't get my Summer position. I wanted it, I Needed it, But I have to know that Heavenly Father will look after me. He Always does :)
I know that I fear failure of enrolling in school, but if I fail, then at least I gave it my best shot.
Life is about taking chances and jumping back up, when you fall down.
So here goes my first step of looking Fear in the face and plowing through that wall!

My New Fav

BAD GUYS

Today at school I learned a little bit about "Bad Guys"and Kidnappers from a Pre-School Perspective.

I love the kids that I work with and have learned so much from them, and I've also had to sit back and listen without Laughing, and anybody that knows me even a little, knows I'm not real Mature, and once I start laughing, I Really have a hard time pulling it together. This was one of those times :)

There I was sitting at breakfast eating my yogurt, minding my own business and this little boy stopped in his tracks and asked me  "if I knew about kidnappers? I said "please eat your breakfast" (Rude, right?) Anyways he persisted, "Well do ya? I said, kidnappers are scary and I stay far away from them.  he said "Well my brother told me, Kidnappers eat yogurt and So you Must be a kidnapper!! I about choked on my yogurt. It was hilarious, I seriously about peed my pants!

He then informed me of multiple other things that these Yogurt eating bad guys do, and he was dead serious!

They hide under beds, they steal backpacks(probably looking for yogurt) they take kids far away and leave them there, they have big eyes and eat rocks and worst of ALL they "toot fire" his words, not mine. HA HA

Just want you all to have fair warning, so you can look out for these bad guys. They sound pretty frightening to me, and I'm pretty darn sure, I'll never be able to eat yogurt again without thinking of Bad guys.

Gosh I Love that Kid!

High 5

The health challenge has begun and it's been good to have something to focus my attention on.
I'm so excited that week 1 is over.  It's been good, done a little Biggest Loser, Wii Dancing, Yard work and other misc stuff to stay active. Drank gallons of water, and I've Eaten a garden full of Fruits and Veggies.
These Challenges have really helped me focus on my health and have made me think more about how and what I need to do to change my bad habits.
I have worked hard and am feeling tired, but I have almost lost 5 Pd's!!!  SO  EXCITED and can't wait to see what will happen the rest of the week!
Oh and did I mention how excited I am for my "Sweets" day??  I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Bring on the Cadbury eggs! YUMMY :)

Withdrawls

IT"S ONLY DAY 3 of the Health challenge and I WANT/NEED CHOCOLATE!!!
I weighed myself today and am almost down 3 Pd's! Wahoo! But I still Want chocolate. What is My Freaking Problem??
These health Challenges are SO Good for me and at the same time I LOATHE them! Actually I just hate that I can't eat treats when ever I feel the need!
If I could only get to the root of my Eating problems like they do on the Biggest Loser, then I'd be cured :)
I Love watching the Biggest Loser and would love to see that much of a Transformation, But for now Slow and Steady wins the Race!!  At Least I hope So!
