Not Me! Monday



Since it's been a while since I have joined in
MckMama's "Not Me! Monday" I thought
I would give it a go again. You should give
it a try, too!

Let's see...
My yard is the best looking yard in our
neighborhood. My neighbor does NOT use
a professional company that comes and
treats their lawn to make it plush and
green. This does NOT make me crazy!
Last Tuesday, I most definitely did
not stop at our local hardware store
and purchase a Garden Weasel and
a bag of Tall Fescue. I then did not
proceed to put the children to bed
early, so that I could turn up the soil
in our front yard and put down the
whole bag of seed. Who does this after
working all day, driving an hour to pick
up your children and an hour home, and
in the DARK???? NOT me!!!

I also did NOT have a crazy week at
work, finding out that two dear sweet
people will not be returning next year. I
am NOT completely freaked out and
worried about things to come...I am
NOT completely trusting God here though!

I am NOT counting down until our
Spring Break, which does NOT officially
begin in 3 days!!! What teacher
really looks forward to NOT being at
school working away??? NOT me!

I feel better now!

Zoo Fun

The weather was absolutely
beautiful today! I decided to
take Matthew and Logann to
the zoo so Daddy could have
some "study time". Here are
a few pictures from the day.
We had such an amazing time!

I've Dropped a Little Logann!!!

I've done it. I've dropped a Logann. Quite
literally. I am now carrying around 21 lbs
less than I was on January 2nd. It is amazing
the difference it has made already. A few
things I have noticed:

a. getting up off the floor is much easier :p
b. I don't need as much sleep
c. I've got more pep in my step
d. I can wear all of my pre-pregnancy
pants that I could not even begin to
wear in January.
e. I feel motivated in lots of areas in my
life right now.

Now, to continue on for the other 50 lbs that
my poor heart would LOVE to be rid of. I just
think of my poor heart, pumping blood through
all that extra fat...yuck! I think my heart is
much happier now and will be even happier
soon.

I am going to try to run a half marathon
next May. I thought this May might be a
little ambitious, since I can only run for
about 30 minutes in one stretch right now.
I will get there though. Music City Marathon
next year...I'll be there!

I will leave you with a crazy point to ponder...

If (I mean WHEN) I lose all my weight, I will have
lost not only a Logann, but also a Matthew, and
a bag of cat food! HOLY COW!!!!!

Wish me luck...I'm gonna need it!
