Where is Spring?

April Fools Day - you're all invited to join us for dinner next year!

You can see how much fun we had on Easter!!!   Luckily,  we had an easter egg hunt yesterday - because it snowed 5 inches last night!   Where is Spring?    Eggs coming soon. 

As High as a Kite!

We've been having fun at our house! Not much time to spend blogging just playing. Enjoy!

 Workout Woman,  Sit on the Couch guy and I have started a new blog. Take a look - fitsnacks.blogspot.com

I can't find anything to wear!

Last night I had the most frustrating dream.  I dreamed that I was trying to find the perfect outfit to wear to an appointment that I had.  The closet that I was choosing out of was probably the size of my great room.  There were many many choices,  dresses, skirts, blouses, levis - whatever you might want for any type of occasion.  I couldn't find anything to wear and time was ticking.  I tried on many things and put together many combinations but nothing was quite right.  The appointment time was approaching.  I went to another closet in an adjacent room still nothing right for me.  The appointment time had now come and I was in a panic.  I finally just put on a pair of kaki's - which had a stain, were too tight, and too short - and I went to my appointment late.  Horrible.

I share this because as I have been thinking about that dream today,  I realize it is what I have been feeling as I try to make decisions for my family.  There are  many decisions I have to make for my children all of the time and they are counting on me to make the correct decisions for them. My children trust me.  What I realize now is that there are many different outfits I can choose from, but not all of them are going to be right for me.  I also cannot just be set on one outfit excusively because it won't be right for every occasion.  I might not be comfortable with my decisions all of the time.  In my dream, I ran out of time and I took the easy way out - comfortable kaki's - and it ended up horrible.  Sometimes I just want to take the easy road but that might not be the best one for me.

In reality,  my closet is quite small and I don't have very many outfits to chose from but I do want to look my best.  I don't have to make all our life decisions right now - just pick the right outfit for today. 

My Exercise Diary - Day 7

Day 7.

Well, that's the week. Thank goodness that's over. Maybe next time my wife will give me something a little more fun, like a gift certificate for a root canal.

My Exercise Diary - Day 6

Day 6.

Got Janell's message on my answering machine, wondering where I am. I lacked the strength to use the TV remote so I watched eleven straight hours of the weather channel.

My Exercise Diary - Day 5

Day 5.

I hate "Jillian" more than any human being has ever hated any other

human being in the history of the world. If there was any part on my body not in extreme pain I would hit her with it. She thought it would be a good idea to work on my triceps. Well I have news for you Jillian - I don't have triceps. And if you don't want dents in the floor don't hand me any barbells. I refuse to accept responsibility for the damage, YOU went to sadist school, YOU are to blame. The treadmill flung me back into a science teacher, which hurt like crazy. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like a music teacher, or social studies?

My Exercise Diary - Day 4

Day 4.

Janell was waiting for me with her vampire teeth in a full snarl. I can't help it if I was half an hour late, it took me that long just to tie my shoes. She wanted me to lift dumbbells.
Not a chance, Janell. The word "dumb" must be in there for a reason. I hid in the men's room until she sent Lars looking for me. As punishment she made me try the rowing machine.
It sank.
