Gabby's

[Tina]

It's been a busy day for me here. Today is Michael's 8th Birthday-- and we're having a birthday party later this evening. Supposed to have friends & family over at my mom's house for BBQ dinner followed by Bday cake & Ice cream... They have a much larger area for people to spread out and not be cramped like our small living room and kitchen.. and it's so much easier to have parties at Grandmas' house. Someday the Lord is going to bless me with the addition to this house so that we can entertain HERE.

I am hoping and praying this headache goes away soon... I think it's just the stress and pressure I put on myself trying to get everything ready. I know it will be fine... but I still stress over stuff.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and glorious Sunday. We are having a beautiful weekend here, but I know others are suffering through terrible weather.

Good Morning!

Good Monday Morning!!!!!! I am going to make myself dance even though I HATE Mondays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For one it is hard to get back into the swing of work mode plus on Mondays I work until 7:00 so it is a loooong day for me.

So, how is everyone's day today? We have been working so much around our house getting ready for the new baby's arrival. We have rearranged 2 rooms and done some major cleaning out of closets and corners - I don't have any xtra closets for storage in our house so we had a huge stack of stuff stored up in the corner of our bedroom behind the door and we cleared that out, yahoo!!!! - anyways, this weekend my mom and my grandma are gonna come over and help me do some "deep cleaning". Why is it that we feel we have to have our house in tip top shape before a new baby arrives? When I was pregnant with my daughter I did this also, in fact one day I was up and down all day cleaning baseboards - my husband kept making fun of me - and that night my water broke!!!!!!!!!!! So, now I am trying to be really careful until closer to my due date, I really don't want to go into labor too early unless the baby truly is ready. Plus last time my water broke and I hadn't dialted or lost my plug or anything!!! This time I am hoping for a much quicker delivery.

Well, enough of that. I hope to hear from you all soon, I am bored today!

Good morning!

Monday is always the day of the week it's so hard for me to get going again. Weekends are not long enough. I let the laundry pile up over the weekend-- and I usually don't do that because I feel like I have a mountain of it to do on Mondays. But we were just so busy this weekend that laundry wasn't a priority.

I think I always did major cleaning before my kids were born because I knew that there would be 6-8 weeks that I'd be on restricted activity and my husband wouldn't clean house the way I liked it. I guess I was hoping that if I did it so well beforehand, that maybe it wouldn't be so overwhelming when I was able to get back to it after the baby was born...

It's going to be a busy day here.. but I do get a bit of a break this afternoon. At 1pm... the girls will be going to "volunteer" at the church day care center. They will start doing this every Monday. I will use the time to work one on one with Michael on some of the interactive lessons he fell behind on while he had the flu.

Hi Ladies (And Ron)

I know I haven't been around much. I just can't seem to muster up any enthusiam to discuss the same old junk that I have discussed at several other forums for the past 3 years.

But I do miss you guys and so I thought I would at least stop in Gabby's and say "Hey"

"Hey"

Let's see what's new with me....

Diet is going well. The past 3 months (Dec, Jan & Feb) were kind of a wash. I wasn't eating the best, but was consistent with my exercise, and so didn't lose any weight (but didn't gain either!).

I am finally back on track and have started losing again. My big goal is to reach 100 pounds lost, by my 1 year anniversary (June 1st). I have to lose about 1.5 pounds a week for the remaining 12 weeks and that should totally be possible.


Spiritually, things are going well as well. Though, they might not appear so on the outside. God has really been opening up my mind to a lot of things, and so many questions and such about myself, the world, and Christianity in general that have been plagueing me for the past 3 years. If not an understanding, I am least learning how to live peacefully in the middle ground between knowing everything and doubting everything.

That probably doesn't make a lot of sense to you, but it does to me, which I suppose is the important part

For the first time in a long time, having a relationship with Jesus seems like a priviledge and not a burden. Though I suppose some ultra cons (when they realize that I have gone "liberal") would probably say that It's not of Jesus at all, and to them I just say

I miss your posts, Michi. I have always enjoyed reading what you have to say.
