Trying to Get Back into My Groove

I'm so excited!!!!! First off, my older 2 boys start school tomorrow & I am so excited to start a new habit by running @ 6am!!!!! My Hubby says he'll be more than happy to join me so I can't wait!!!!

Back in Feb- March I started joggin (thanks to my inspirees: Star & Gen) & in a couple months I was running up to 3 miles & I felt absolutely great!!!

My goal is to surpass my 3 miles & go for 6 miles but really aiming for 10 miles! I know it's kind of out there, but I'd rather underestimate, under-promise but overdeliver :-)

Now wish me luck!!!!!

It is Time to Buckle Down & Get Things In Crystal Clear FOCUS....

Whether I admit to myself or not, I have a big issue w 'Time Management!'

I just sometimes feel like whenever the day ends, I feel like I could've used up my TIME slot more productively. I feel sometimes as if I am feeling Deja vu everyday & I need to do more.

My Hubby & I just got back from Fresno, Ca (about a 3 hour drive) for a business convention. We usually have one every 3-4 months. This time was the very first time in CA!!!!! We were just ecstatic bc usually it's on the mid-west/east coast bc the numbers of the attendees are greater than here :-) so that can only mean 1thing: CA is growing!!!!! Were excited about the LIFE pre-launch we got see & layout for us!!! We are just so fired up @ all the great things that have been happening & even greater things that are about to explode = $$$$$ :-)

So I feel like I need to help change/improve myself inorder to help & serve others so I'm relatable & teachable :-)

I was advised by my amazing mentor to read 'Eat That Frog' to help me overcome my time management hurdle. I just started last night & I love this book!!!!!

I have already set some goals (faith, family, fitness, fun, finance) for myself that HAD to be written down! A goal not written down is easily just wishful thinking or just a fantasy.

I'm excited to start purposeful new habits that will be beneficial for me in the longrun & not just for the present! I'm a work in progress & I should always be a student just striving to help/improve myself. No matter how old I get. I can't wait for things to slowly fall into place when everything is alligns perfectly!!!

So here cheers to a new & improved ME :-)

Here are some things to help me along this fun new journey!!!!

New Crib

Check out Blue-Wee's new crib :)

I thought the lil' Spongebob & Patrick was a perfect 'kid' touch to the tank so hence is why I picked it up when I bought him new fish food :)

My youngest Micah was ecstatic!!!!
I love seeing their faces light up to the simplest things :-)

Oh yeah, this fish is called a 'betta' & it's a tropical fish :) it's known as a fighting fish & cannot be in the same tank as other like his own kind bc they will fight! I kinda want to just get another betta so they can fight! Just for a little... Lol I know I'm weird....

Happy Tuesday my loves!!!

Meet the newest member of our Family....

We gained a new family member a couple weeks ago :-)

My Micah picked him out himself...

Meet our one & only BLUE-WEE

Yes he also named it himself. I suggested TRU BLUE but was quickly overruled by his owner! Lol I have no idea what kind of fish it is. I just know he picked this one :-)

Day 8

This is easy peazy :-) something that makes you laugh :-) I Love to laugh.. I think it's one of the best things for the soul! And the best part is it's FREE!!!!
Of course I couldn't just do 1 so I am adding quite a few....


Enjoy & I hope these make you smile like it does to me!

Xoxo

And this is my favorite candid photo I Love of my Hubby & I

Day 7

Geez this is a hard one for me :-/ I mean, I'm one of those kind of girls that hold on to EVERYTHING that has value or some sort of sentiment to me. I still have my very first VDay gift my Hubby (boyfriend then) got me! My freshmen year! It was an oil lamp shaped as a heart, that you had to take the cork out of the lamp so I can light the lamp:-) Just truly romantic & he filled the gift bag & gift box in like literally hundreds of red roses... It was just so stinkin' cute!!
I still have some of my Mom's belongings that I wasn't ready to get rid of, I even have a couple of her zip up sweaters that I keep in my closet next to my own sweaters, that when I smell it, I can still smell her scent...I mean the list can go on & on.... But I guess it all boils down to just 1...

I guess to me, that would simply be Pictures...old, new & the present. They capture the sweet memory of that actual day that we can't have back. But a beautiful memory that we remember once we see the Picture...

Especially my Mother being gone, I have her picture everywhere in my room & even my car so my kids never forget her sweet face :-)

Gosh I miss her soo much it hurts sometimes....

Day 6

If I had to trade places with someone right now for a day....

I would definitely trade it w my super hyper-active, whitty, care free, up to no good 3 year old son of mine!!! I would love to re-live my childhood years once again!!! I have the best memories!!!!! Even if its for a day :-)

I Love this crazy son of mine <3

Love/Hate Relationship....

As A Mommy, it seems like I have never ending unfinished projects, wearing so many hats, going 100 miles per hour, & I admit I even have those lazy days where I absolutely don't do any of my duties!!!

You catch my drift :-) and one of these great responsibilities as a Mommy is doing unending LAUNDRY!!!!

As much as I love clean clothes for my kids, Hubby & myself, I loathe folding them!!!! Lol I can throw them in/out the washer & dryer no biggy, but man folding & putting away can be a pain!!! But since I am a perfectionist, I won't let my Hubby do it bc I don't like the way he folds :) lol call me crazy I know!!!!!!

Just thought I'd share that with you all! Happy Tuesday my Loves xoxo
