Friday Letters

Dear Friday, 
Thank you for coming so quickly... please end just as quickly. 

Dear New A/C Unit, 
You had me at hello. I love you, especially that you are the quiet strong type. 
Dear Spin Class, 
You are a literal pain in my ... booty. It is still hurting which makes me fear going back again, but I will.
Dear House, 
So I know I tell you each week that you will be cleaned and organized but please don't be mad... we do now have three rooms completed. I will work on you more this week. 

Dear Body, 
Thank you for not giving in yesterday when I pushed you to your limits. You have done so well at the gym and with the diet. I know you can make it just one more week.. We will take it a week at a time. 

Dear Hubby, 
I love you. Thank you for putting up with me. Don't take this note as weakness, I will still kick your booty at this weight loss contest... your booty will hurt so bad you would have thought that you took the spin class.
Dear Eb, 
Really? You have to be so independent that you refuse to use a sippy cup? You are only 11months old. Stop growing up so fast. I love you.


Dear Abbie, 
You are the best big sister in the whole world. I am so proud to have you as my daughter. Plus thank you for saying that I looked like I lost weight. Next time you should keep it at that and not continue on to say that I look like I lost 1000 pounds... I didn't weigh that much before I started this. I love you.
Dear Melatonin and Pandora,
Thank you for helping me sleep. I love using both of you to help me unwind and to get better rest. 

Dear Satan, 
I've got my eye on you. I know your schemes and I won't let you near my family. My God will kick your booty. 

Dear Readers, 
Sorry for all the references to booties. Thank you for reading my blog. :)

Dear God, 
Thank you for being my strength in my weakness. Thank you for loving me just as I am today and for who you will form me to be tomorrow. Thank you for giving me wisdom of what to say to comfort my friends and for reminding me of it later. Please help all those who are experience losses, whether it is a loss of a friendship, a relationship, or (as our Choir leader has) a loss of a parent.

    I am so jealous of your new ac unit. I have dreams about one day being able to afford a new one to replace my 33 year old one.

    You have an absolutely beautiful family!! Thanks so much for stopping by and meeting my little family. Have a wonderful weekend!

      We had a battle with the old one... Thank God we had home insurance that covered almost $4,000.. we did have to pay $450 but it is better than the heat.

    You should try it... I had the best instructor. She told me that even if all I did was pedal slowly on the lowest setting, I would be doing so much for my body. She told me to just do my best and to be proud of what I accomplished. Only bad thing is she is a little intimidating. She was thin, athletic, beautiful, she rocked at spinning, and she was about VERY pregnant.

    Great job on spin! I am not sure that I could do it to be very honest...

"Have a New Husband by Friday"

Image
I decided to take Abbie to the bookstore a little over a week ago, on Friday September 21st. I was in hope of finding some book series that I could get her to read that would spark a love of reading. I naturally do not have a love for reading but rather lothe it.  When I was growing up I had several issues with reading and never truly felt sucked into a book like I would hear other describe. The star wars book were a huge solution to my parents struggle to get my oldest brother to read. He founds something he connected with and had a passion for. I want that for Abbie. We picked her up a book about a mermaid. We have yet to start it due to the chapter books she has to read for school. I am hoping to get back into the rhythm of things at home. I also decided that it is important for her to see me reading more, if I want her to read. I love reading the Bible and get so much from it but if faking a passion for reading would help her it is worth it. It might also teach me more discipli...

I Could Have Just Died (Most Embarrassing Moment)

Image
I haven't done a writing prompt from Mama Kat's Workshop, so when I saw that one of the prompts was to tell an embarrassing story I thought I just had to share. Hopefully, this will lift your day as it usually seems to get a good chuckle out of my friends and family. I don't usually embarrass easily, I contribute it to the fact that I am silly and usually like to do weird things. I have also stated that I like to be completely honest with people. There is a kind of freedom that comes with transparency. The day seemed like any other. We had gone to my mother in laws house to pick up Abbie, she was only a couple years old at the time. Any trip to my mother in laws house is not a quick one, and usually I don't mind it. I went and sat on her front porch to "catch some fresh air", which was my code for smoking a cigarette. (I am so glad that I am finally free from that addiction.) As I sat there I noticed how beautiful it was outside. The sun was shining but...

How NOT to Impress a Crush (Most Embarrassing Moment Part 2)

Image
I recently did a post on my most embarrassing moment inspired by Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop. After writing it I had comments asking me to share the other embarrassing moment that I had mentioned in the other post. So here it goes... It was pretty bad.  During my sophomore year of high school there was a guy in my home room that I had a crush on. He was handsome, was in a band, and was funny. We shared the same group of friends. One night his parents were out of town and he was having a pool party at his house after his band preformed. It was going to be the coolest event. When we got there he showed all of the girls where we could go to change into our swim suits. I had the chance to change and joined everyone at the pool. It was the most fun time. Time went so quickly and soon I had to run before I missed my curfew. I threw my clothes on over my swimsuit, jumped in my car, and got home. I had a strange feeling that I had forgotten something but quickly dismissed it.   ...
