We enjoyed family day by taking the bunch to Science Centre, we got to see "To the Arctic" on the OMNImax screen...INCREDIBLE!!!! However, 2 of the girls definitely got motion sickness they also had a touch of stomach flu that I did not previously know otherwise we would have skipped the overly insanely busy science centre. So Monday night those 2 girls were in bed and all day Tuesday I had them home. Thankfully it was 24 hours and it seems to be gone and all of the kids are in school today!!! Hoewever this Mama managed to miss the bus that takes two of the kids to school and ended up driving them...a little extra time with the kiddies is a good thing. If I have ever done anything right in my life it was my babies. They are the little bursts of sunshine I need. God knew what he was doing when he blessed me with them.
Glenn has been amazing and we have been doing so much work around the house....a whole lot of the time I come up with the grand plan and poor Glenn is stuck doing it-he is a trooper, he is wonderful, he is amazing, he is God-sent and he is ALL MINE!!!!
I am a very blessed woman!!
I am exhausted...I feel run down and tired. I had stomach flu last week and I am wondering if this is my body telling me I am not fully recovered.
The home still has to "run" so suck it up mama :)
I have Zumba tonight and am looking forward to it. I need to work out...my body is craving exercise right now.
I have been getting up and doing my yoga but I need some cardio, abs and weights in there too.
We are off to get some groceries and fresh air!!! MUCH NEEDED fresh air...it just may wake me up!!
Wishing you all a blessed day!!

Blah, blah, blah
It's been a week since my last "rant"....today was another intriguing..zzzzz......zzzzzz...oops sorry day at the office. A freak snow storm hit the city...my fabulous new shoes were exposed to the wet :( I was soooooooooo sad. They are actually hanging up to dry...yes I AM A GIRLIE GIRL!!! :)
There is nothing really new and exciting in my world, went to the birthday party last week-end and was exposed to stomach flu...thanks wonderful family. My middle daughter and I were affected...lucky us...hey it aided in my weight loss goals ;) HA HA HA
We did take the kids sledding...FUN!!! They had a blast, they were so cold, rosy cheeked, and so happy ...so cute!!
I love my babies (big girls really).
I am getting ready to start back up with my Jillian Michaels workout on Monday and I can't wait!! Then next week I will do another weigh in-I can do this....I CAN DO THIS. For the first time in a long time I have the confidence to say it and do it. Changes are noticeable and I am happy.
Blessings

Another Day, Another Dollar
Spent the day at work, it was not busy at all...in fact it usually isn't. After our winter storm yesterday, it was even slower. So what's a girl to do?? Well how about locate some new recipes??!!!!?? I have read that lentils are super good for you-high in fiber, high in protein!! Well let me get investigating!!
Here is where I landed: http://www.lentils.ca/cooking-with-lentils/canadian-lentil-cookbook
I printed off quite a few of these recipes and cannot wait to try these:
a) baked lentil biscuits
b) banana lentil muffins
c) beef and lentil burgers
and so many more!!!!
I even got myself prepared to teach my Sunday school class tomorrow, printed off the lesson and I am good to go.
I read my Joyce Meyer devotional today, and also read from my Serenity Book which walks me through the 12 steps of recovery used for both AA and Al-Anon. I am loosely associated with Al-Anon to help me through the "isms" associated with my past relationship due to alcohol abuse on the part of my ex. I am on step 4-I don't call this step a very fun one. Step 4 "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves". Ahhhhh this is one hard step. However the book that I am reading through gives me scriptures to help me. Today was from Matthew 23:23-28.
Be fair, Be faithful, Show mercy
You worry about the smallest thing but commit the biggest sin....
Well heck isn't that me in a nutshell...worry about the small things... :)
I have birthday party to go to tomorrow for my cousins baby who is turning 1. After Church we are headed up for a afternoon visit and then hoping to get some sledding in!!!
That is the plan-hopefully it works out-love to see the smiles on the kids faces as we sled down a massive hill!!!
I love being a Mom!!!
Sending out love and prayers!!

February....ALREADY????
I just looked over my last blog and realized I was to start doing T-Tapp...well that hasn't happened so good thing it wasn't a "resolution" LOL ... instead I thought I would get my but kicked my none other than Jillian Michaels... http://www.amazon.ca/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00142UZ2G
OUCH...OUCH...OUCH...but it's WORKING!!! I am happy to report I am down a whole 5.6lbs and yes there is much more to go but I am toning, losing and overall feeling good. :)
I feel like I have blinked and we are almost at Valentines Day! Where did the time go!?!?!
My thoughts seem to be all over the place tonight, I should have prayed first then done...a lesson I am still learning (seems that one is a tough one to get)...I tend (as most) to freak out then have that hand smacking the head moment...oh yes I was supposed to pray first....
At our women's group we are doing a 4 week Joyce Meyer study and I must tell you she is right there in your face telling you exactly and I do mean EXACTLY what's what.... http://www.joycemeyer.org/ProductDetail.aspx?id=006670
She is simply fabulous...and as I start to blog again on a more regular basis you will probably hear me speak of this wonderful human being. She is touching on many area's that I have "stuffed" away and it's more than time to deal with it...so be prepared folks it may get really quite ugly... I think it has to get REAL ugly in order to deal with the muck.... :(
So tonight is reserved for my prayer journal, a simple prayer to ask for God's help to heal the area's that I need to be healed and forgive where I need to forgive.
No matter how big or how small the problem is...turn it over to God he will always be right there to get you through it, even when you don't believe he is beside you those are the times he is carrying you.
May you be blessed and be a blessing today and everyday!
