inadequate posts

sometimes i think my posts aren't deep enough! i read some other blogs and then i go to blog and i think..."that is so trivial, why would you actually post that on the internet?!?!" but you know what...that's who i am! and really, no one actually reads this blog anyway...it's more just for me...i haven't even told anyone that i have it! so i'm going to blog about whatever i want...just b/c i can...but i'll start tomorrow b/c today i have to go and clean all the ground up goldfish out of the backseat of my car...it's a mess and i can't take it another day!

thankful

you know, i really don't have anything to blog about today...i played outside with my son on the playground, we took a walk, we had dinner together...when daddy got home we all wrestled on the living room floor...this is the life...i am so thankful...thank you Jesus, thank you for every day and every breath...and thank you for diet coke!

whiney....

do you think God ever gets tired of hearing us whine...i kow i am tired of hearing myself whine...why are we never satisfied? i chose to be grateful and appreciative of all God has given me..

less is more...

we moved over the weekend...and i am exhausted! moving is harder with a 2 year old...sunday morning my husband took my son out and "window" shopped around town so i could get some unpacking done. i am realizing more and more how little we really need to survive. i seriously have too much stuff! i got rid of a bunch when i originally packed it up and now we are getting ready for another yard sale! profit and less clutter....here's to simplifying life :)

you know, i started this blog to help me lose weight but, quite honestly, it's not working...so i started thinking about my title... a work in progress...i am a work in progress in so many ways, and quite honestly the least important is 30 lbs! so here are some other areas i need to work on in my life, ways i am a work in progress (in no particular order)
~ i want to be a better mother, i think i am a pretty good mother, but i want to do more with ethan, sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life we forget to make some memories...
~ i want to catch up on my scrapbooking...i used to do this all the time, but ethan is 2 and i have literally 1 page done!
~ i want to work on my patience...i tend to get frustrated with those closest to me, my husband and my son...that's not fair
~ i want so much more of God! i desire to be more consistent in my prayer and bible study...can anyone agree? :)
~i want more faith! i want to be a woman of faith...not wavering or doubting my God!
~i need to work on my self-control....enough said?
~and now, i want to go to sleep! i need to go to bed earlier and eat better to take better care of my body!

good night! :)

a week off...

so saturday i'm moving...we are going back to virginia...i have decided that this week, i can eat!
i am an emotional eater and this week will be emotional! i've also decided that my body just doesn't lose weight unless i am working out! i can cut back on all kinds of food, but unless i am exercising it just doesn't work for me...so once we move...it's back to walking with Leslie! and walking around my townhouse development...
