Today is a muggy day. Rain came in last night dumping water every where you look. Checked my garden today. Looks good will not have to water for a few days. Heat to return on Saturday. Of course on the day that we are going to do a world wide Mormon Helping Hands Project. I hope all goes well. Painting and Cement pouring. Looks like we could use the warm up. Been busy with getting supplies so my fence on my gardens could be finish. Ron finished them on Monday. Need more soil in order to planet the corn. Need to planet the seeds for the cucumbers, cook neck squash. All this will need to get done on Saturday in order for me to get my garden growing before the season gets too far along. Wish corn was an easier, but I miss my dad's good corn. So I'm giving it another try this year. Didn't do so bad last year just didn't get anything bigger than a nub and then only a few of them. I got plenty of Tomatoes last year. I'm hoping for jalapenios and green peppers this year. Change my placement around. Hoping that the tomatoes don't over welm them. The old college try is the best that can be done. Missing my dad even more wishing I had started this soon so he could guide me to prefection. yeap he was an advide garden. Knew what to do. I miss him bunches this time of the year. It will be 2 years next months since my family lost him and four in October that we lost mom. Where does the time go. It will be 10 years in August since Ron's day left us. Wow. time sure has been flying.
I'm looking forward to our trip to South Lake Tahoe. A week away from Marysville will do me some good. The only time I could get was a week with Mothers day in there. So I have my kids coming up so they will be with me on Sunday. The day I want my family around me.
Plenty of this going on but as you can see this is what I called just a bunch of this and that pluged in.

Heat Up 4-20-11
I was just wondering just who ordered this 80 degree weather. I don't get AC in my office today it went down and the new one is not ready yet. Yeah. It's 78 degrees in my office right now and climbing. in a few more hours it will be 80. This is making me sleepy. I wish I could just move my desk outside. There is a breezy outside. Turned on the portable fan. It is helping. Hilary Weeks is helping to. So no afternoon nape for me just music and work. (LOL Yeah)
I have been think about what I have gotten myself into with this 5K I have signup for. I need to have my head examined. I'm just so under water on this. I know I can walk it easy peasey, but run it. Oh how am I going to do it. I have a treadmill at the gym, I have been working on it. but boy right now even though its hot, I want to be outside and watch my son play ball.
Wow, Spring fever, brings back memories. My son is 22 years old and so the memories of him playing ball since he was 6 or 7 years old. He started coach pitch. He did well never got a chance to play on a championship team or all stars. He played for two different Little Leagues. Then came the time for High School so one more year of little league and he was done. Between working on his Martial Arts, High School Sports, and Home work he was a busy young man. But baseball and football were his life in High School. I started working at my job 12 years ago. So I took time off to be with him every game home or away. Then came is Sophmore year and I was asked to stay home. So even though it hurt me I did as he asked. But every home game I was there. That year was a interesting one. Then came his Junior year and Mom was allowed to travel again to the games. Not one went by that I was not there encouraging and taking pictures. That year I put together a dvd for the coaches. My son's coach left and a new one came. Until his senior year my son he had not gained that Championship he so desired. But low and behold. He did it. a year of Football Championship and Baseball Championship. So now he has two rings he so wanted. Ever year at this time my head still wants to see my little boy playing ball. I have to wait until late May to watch the local college team play. Which cost me money. Thank goodness it can be 5 dollars a seat, but it fills the need to see him play. He doesn't play but he does work for the local team. So even he gets to keep that feeling alive. At the end of each season he gets a chance to play on a pickup team, so seeing him in a uniform is another way to fill that void and the hurt of the missing that little boy playing ball. He was a great catcher, first baseman, third baseman, shortstop, and Outfielder. He could play everything but Pitcher he tried, but he was never trained to play there. Now he has tennis elbow the arm is hurt and needs rest.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Spring is here.

Getting Started 4-18-12
I didn't know how to start this so I guess I will just post about my day. I'm a busy mom, I have a job run a house with 5 adults living in it. This includes my Husband, my daughter (age 24), my son (age 22) and my daughter in law (age 20). The house is big enough for all this and then some. I love having people in the house. Howeve, I'm never home to enjoy the company much. Besides work, there is the gym, my chruch calling. Then outside activites. I keep busy most nights.
I enjoy watching Biggest Loser most seasons. This one Season 13 not so much. I like to watch NCIS LA, CSI Miami, Vegas, Hawaii Five O, and ION life and Cooking shows. They interest me.
I'm a mom who has spent her life loving my family and doing what is need for them. I have come last. Now I have started to make it about me. They are grown. Don't get me wrong I love my kids and talking to them and hearing about their days. I just need to find a place for me now. Where I can enjoy them and my husband, but also work on me. I need to lose a few pounds. Something I've been working on for a few years now. Just not getting any where with it. I keep losing the same 10 lbs. I need to keep going forward. So I began looking for away whith spending alot of money. I think I've found one.
I began about 1 1/2 weeks ago. The Metabalism Miracle. I find it hard at times. I have no self control. Especially when I'm tired. I need to eat. The family had dinner. I ate before my meeting at church. That was fine no big problem. but got home from my meeting and I saw the pizza that was for them. I thought I could walk away. Nope, I just need 5 grams of carbs and so I took a small slice of pizza. Less than an 1/8 of a slice. I'm sure it was more than 5 grams. I just hope I haven't blow it again. I can go almost a whole week then something comes along and I just can't stop myself. Self destruct is my game. So back on the wagon I go, pick my self up and move.
I went to my meeting tonight on foot. It was only a mile, which I walked in 12 minutes. did pretty good for me. I wish I could run but it's just not happening right now. I do pretty good most of the time just days like this when the family has something that I really love but know its not on my food plan right now. For now no excuses is what I need to focus on. I will not know until May 2 when I see the doctor if I'm doing any good. I have blood test on friday. They should show something I hope. I know one thing I feel better when I keep the carbs to 5X5. That means 5 grams every 5 hours. I have more energy than I've had in months. It feels great. But it could also be because the sun came out after a week of rain. We shall see.
I have signed up for a 5k run. I'm not sure how I'm going to do it. I know I can walk it, but I want to train to see if I can get ready to run or jog it. It's only 3.1 miles. I can do a 1 mile walk and run. but I need to find a comfortable pace on the treadmill for me and see what I can do. I had the machine up to 6,0 speed with elvation 1.0 yesterday, with out feeling I need a bathroom break. That one is going to be my other problem. Will I cave to the problem or find a way around it and keep going. I WANT TO RUN the 5K. Maybe if I type it here I will make it a contract and will do it we shall see I have 3 months to get ready. Aug 4th, 2012 is the date for the run.
I hope I have found all the mistakes. I try to type like I know I can but sometime the fingers have a mind of their own. (LOL)
