It's finally here!!!!!

The day I have been waiting for since December 19th!!!! The day that school resumes from the holiday break..........LOL. I'm teasing - it wasn't that bad - most of it was very enjoyable - but the last few days - it was a little tough as Jake was getting anxious to get back to his routine and very tired of being at home!


This morning was great - he jumped out of bed saying "today I go to school".....I'm thinking "thank you Jesus! :) I mean - I know it's wrong - but 2 weeks at home with a 5 year old who is the only child and who expects you to entertain him 24/7 is a long time!!!!! LOL. Anyway - it was great - he got up, got dressed without too big of a meltdown (oh yeah - we have those on a daily basis if something doesn't go his way) and out the door we went. Of course, he was a little perturbed that he had to wear a jacket since it was in the 40's this morning - but, he got to wear a new one - so that calmed him down quickly.......of course, because it was drizzling - he wanted me to walk him into the school vs. being dropped off (which is what he normally wants because all the other kido's get dropped off) and the whole time we were walking up to the school - he kept saying "my new boots are getting wet!!!" Too cute!


My day back at work was great! I love my job - especially because it's part-time, with some good, christian people and it's a fun place to work! I was so excited to be around other adults and have something to do besides clean my house and wash clothes....there is only so much of that I can do and then I get bored and then I eat, and then I eat again, etc......


Speaking of eating - one of the things on my "list of things to do this year" was dieting. I've decided I'm not dieting per se - I'm just going to eat more healthy........ and I have to admit -these past few days - I've done extremely well. Oh yeah - I've been tempted - but I'm ignoring it! My husband also wants to lose weight - so, we are working together. Last night was salmon, salad and stir fry veggies - tonight is chicken and two veggies......slowly, but surely! I'm also back on my exercise kick - so, we are off to a great start! Don't worry - there are no more marathon's in my future - so I'm not going to go crazy with exercising....those days are SO over!


One of the other things on my list that I'm doing better at is my prayer time and devotional time.....still working out the kinks - like what time is better for me - morning or evening - we'll be able to tell soon......I'm also re-reading "Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren - great book.

Lastly, my friend, James Green, who pastor's a church here in Spring has a great blog. Over the last couple of days, he has written about Event vs. Process - now, he is writing about Fasting.....he has some awesome things to say and I wanted to share with you.

Have a blessed evening!

Love to all
