Well... I Really Miss YOU!!

I know I know... I haven't blogged in FOREVER!!! Ive been busy peeps!! So much happened in life and I really don't know where to start... Ill just say this...

So here is what I need to vent about tonight... Ive started working out again.  I have a accountability partner working out with me and a personal trainer!!! It sucks right now cause its only been 1 week but I'm on a mission!! I'm tired of being self conscious of my figure and I'm getting OLD... fat and old is a horrible combination!! LOL... so seriousness is happening right here!!!

I started by running in the TATUR Mud Run last weekend!!! I about died... first of all it was literally 115 degrees... so maybe not the best idea to start running in that kind of weather BUT!! It got me motivated to get serious and get into shape...

I ran with a few peeps from work... it was hard... Mud has never felt so good!! When a mud pit would come up on the course I would want to dive head first into the muddy water... it was cold and felt good on such a hot day... It was hard to run after you were drenched in muddy water... we had to duct taped our shoes to our ankles... We ran a mile and a half and went through about 10 different mud obstacles on the course... we came in at 28:48... I wasn't too horribly depressed with that time since we actually walked some parts. Anywho... it was the start of a long week ahead! 

I hit the gym on Monday after work and did 20 min on the elliptical and then weights with the trainer... I hit the Gym Monday Wednesday and Friday after work... I was so sore this week!! But honestly it feels amazing to work out again and the pain is a good feeling!!

I'm excited and I hope you will all help me stick with it!! I will update you on my progress as this adventure continues!!!

Thoughtful Spot... Life

My thoughtful Spot today is this...

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

I am so excited about my upcoming trip.. I love to travel and see new places! I grew up living in the country and just being an innocent kid... I remember wishing I could be a baby goat... I know that sounds crazy but I loved to play with the baby goat and they always just threw their little bodies into the air and butted heads and acted silly... They seemed so carefree and fun... I lived outside growing up, camped, grew a garden, played in the fields with the horses and cows, picked okra till I wanted to cry... I love love love the outdoors and the simple pleasures in life!! So a trip to Colorado where the Buffalo and Bears live, Trout jumping out of the rivers and whitewater swiftly running through my toes... Firelfies at night and a bizzilion stars in the mountain sky while we make smores over the camp fire... That makes my happy...

I will take pictures galore and make memories with loved ones... That is Life

Monday Morning Coffee Confessions

I am scared to death! There... I said it!

A week from today I will be in Colorado with my daughter and my sweet niece... I am so excited and cant wait BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be camping the first two nights and I have to tell you I'm a little scared... I haven't camped since I was a child and I'm going got be alone with two teenagers! It should be a blast. We are whitewater rafting on Tuesday afternoon... We are staying in a campground where there is showers and bathrooms and individual tent sites... so I'm not really that worried... I guess I'm just nervous that I will have forgotten something important and it will be a disaster...

Me to Wenie - "But I promise we will have great memories and pictures to prove it"

I grew up out in the country roughing it and I'm not worried at all to be out in Mother Nature... I'm actually pretty excited to have fun and make some memories with my daughter Wenie and the cousin Du... I'm just feeling a bit ill prepared... I keep making list and lists and lists of things to take with us... Maybe if I just trust my gut and pack and go it will all be fine! I'm sure it will... do you hear me trying to convince myself that everything will be okay?

So... if you have advise I am going to take it...please post any and all !!!

Here's the situation... Monday night camping in a tent on a camp site that has individual tent sites, each has a fire pit and a bear box (Eeekkkkk)... we will be there for 2 nights! I have a tent, lantern, blowup mattress, Coleman stove and THAT'S IT!!!

Just some fun pics Wenie and I took this weekend... Enjoy!!

My Thoughtful Spot Thursday

My thoughtful spot on this summer day is...

My son "Bubby"

See he is a bit of a bear... always has been 100% boy!! He beaks things, he is loud and dirty most of the time... But Holy Cow he is funny and not a day goes by that he doesn't make my life interesting!!

So, Ill tell you what happened to him today after I back up and tell you what he did 3 years ago...

3 years ago he fell and busted out 6 front teeth at one of his sisters softball games... his lip was swollen and he had no teeth ( for about 2 years he didn't have teeth ) and then one night about 3 days after the infamous tooth drama happened... he thought it would be a good idea to get into his dads clippers and shave the front of his hair down to the skin... So I sat his butt on a chair and told him that if he wanted to cut his hair I would just shave his head... I did... shaved it down to the scalp... He looked like a convict without hair or teeth all summer long!!

Today... I got a text from Wenie that said "look what YOUR son did!!"... I always know its bad when she refers to her brother as YOUR SON... then she attached the picture!!

So what did I do? I told her to tell him that as soon as I got home I was would be shaving them OFF!!! I told him he looked ridiculous and that thank goodness it will grow back...

My Thought on this Summer Thursday is just this... Will the antics ever stop? I doubt it... but here is my second thought...

I am blessed to have a happy and healthy little boy that is ALL BOY and he makes my laugh (Kinda like his Dad)

Mom of Bubby
