homecoming

Yesterday was crazy busy!! We had teacher meetings in the morning with Kara and then we all sort of worked in our rooms. AFter that I came home ate lunch and took a quick nap before bootcamp where we did 160 real pushups. First of all I can't believe I can do 1 real push up let alone 160. Now we don't do 160 at the same time but with in 45 min, we did 160! whoo! I'm feeling it today. I need to do some good yoga stretching today. After bc Jack went with me to Belk to get some new clothes. He really needed them and then we bought very sweet baby orange roses so he can "officiall" ask Teressa to hc. We drove to her house last night and he asked her, I got a piece of thread from the dress so we can get a matching tie. She is so sweet and she didn't want Jack to see her dress so he couldn't look. Kate had a great day, it was Maddie's bday so she planned a little surprise lunch at Zoes for her and then she saw Alex in the evening. She said this morning she really needs to go shopping for her hc dress. Joe had practice last night and that was about it. This is my last Tues home, next week I'll be with my 2's! Can't believe it! I have a lot of orders to work on today. Thankfully Theresa is here cleaning so I don't have to worry about that.

Have you ever set a goal for yourself, only to find yourself falling short of it? Maybe you have come very close but haven't reached into the success of completion.




Use the theater of the mind to envision your success -- your accomplishment, completion, achievement. If you create this vision strongly enough, it will happen for you. Even when a part of you seems to give up -- consciously or otherwise -- there is another part that will hold the vision. Then, perhaps when you least expect it, you will "suddenly" have accomplished your goal.

wrap it up

Well, it's time to wrap up a beautiful busy weekend. We are all tired! Monday will for sure kick our butt's! Woke up this morning with a majorly swollen eye! I knew it was coming on last night while we were rewatching the game. I should have put medicine on it then but I didn't. So this morning when I woke up my right eye lid was puffy and swollen. I didn't think I had to work in the nursery this morning so I put medicine on it and went back to bed. Kara called about 8:45 making sure everything was okay? I was like umm yeh, why? She said, oh I was just making sure b/c you're on the schedule. Whoops!! I told her my eye was a mess and I look like frankenstein and I can't even come in late!! Anyway, the day turned out fine. My eye is almost back to normal and tomorrow I"ll be there for more work week stuff.  Went to Joe's scrimmage this evening. He did good but his team has some work to do. Kate had a great day with Alex, Jack golfed and Joe just chilled.

Let go and Let GoD

Remember, your Soul, who you truly are, is not your body. As with every Soul, you are destined to leave the body. Consider shifting your awareness and view to the spiritual domain while you love and care for the body, doing what you can sensibly to assist with healing, and focusing on your growth and learning in your process. If you attempt to control anything in the physical world, including your body, you are likely to come up short and judge yourself as inadequate.




This is all part of your opportunity to let go and let God which translates to be open and trust that greater good is what is to become.

so fun! espn in hoover

We had a great day. Yes it was hot but I love it hot so I don't care about that. We went to the game, Kate got to go too and I even bought a game day skirt! I felt a little bit like a 1950s cheerleader but I got lots of compliments on it and it is super cute. I don't think its for everyone but it seems to suit me fine. Hoover did awesome so happy we won. I just wanted us to play strong and look good on espn. Here are a few pics.

ESPN!

Today's the big day!! Everyone is super excited about espn taking over hhs! Hoover is playing the #1 team in the nation at 2:30. The bucs are ranked 70th which isn't any thing to cry about but I think it'll be a tough game. We'll be there. Rick would prefer to watch it on tv in the man cave with a cold beverage but I'm making him go! We went to beefs last night with a bunch of friends. We went a little late b/c I knew it would be crazy crowded and it was but getting there about 8:30 was perfect. We saw lots of peeps and sat outside and had a great time. I went a little willy nilly inviting a slew of people over for a party on the patio after the game. hahaha Rick was like oh geez...I've since sent everyone a message b/c there is no way we will feel like sitting outside any longer once we get home from the game. I promised everyone we will for sure have plenty of opportunities to party on the patio when it cools off a bit! So here's to the Hoover Bucs and especially to the seniors! The seniors who play ball, who cheer, who dance, who play in the band so the 'rents can dance in the stands, to the painted boys, to the little boys who can't wait to be Hoover Bucs!! Go Bucs!

Inspiration comes from a level deeper than thought. It comes when you are quiet: when the mind is holding steady, the emotions are calm, and the body is in balance. Then the Soul comes forward with its joyfulness. When it does, the imagination comes with it. As the mind lets loose, you may doubt yourself and wonder if you're deluding yourself.




It's important to train yourself to recognize the difference between your wishful thinking and the inspiration that comes from your divine nature and intuitive knowing. To do this takes practice and learning to trust yourself.
