I think I’m a wimp because sometimes life just overwhelms me. I have too many things to do and not enough time to do them. I know, cry me a river – everybody has to deal with this at one time or another and most function just fine. Like I said, I’m a wimp. We have a daughter graduating this year. This is really nothing new, we’ve had 2 other daughters graduate but I think I’ve forgotten all that goes along with that. I’m late with getting pictures ordered, I’m late with getting announcements out. I have to get the display board together, the open house needs to be organized and invitations made and sent, the food and cake ordered, the house cleaned. Plus all the stuff that Morgan needs to do involving graduation and who will pester her to get stuff done if I don’t?? But hey, we have 2 weeks – LOTS of time! If I just didn’t have a job, this wouldn’t be such a problem but I do have a job. I work at a school and the irony is that at the end of the school year the things I have to do there slow to a crawl so I’m NOT busy at work but the things that I have to do at home are increasing so I AM busy at home thus when I’m at work I just sit and stress about all the things I have to do at home but when I get home I’m tired from the frenzy that I’ve worked myself into while at work. I have found that working yourself into a frenzy is exhausting! I know it seems that all my blogs are whiny. I need to try to get out of that mode but I just feel whiny. I’m tired, I think I have a sinus infection, I’ve screwed up my back somehow and it hurts all the time. On the upside though, school is out in 2 ½ weeks and then I’ll be relatively free for the summer. I’m so blessed because not many people have a job that they get the summer off. Speaking of summer, here’s what I want to do – I want to start exercising on a regular basis and I want to lose 10 pounds (I really want to lose 20 but who am I kidding). This means the “d” word and I like to eat what I want when I want so that will be a challenge. I am not a fan of exercising but they say exercising releases endorphins that make you feel better – like a natural high or something. I could go for a natural high since most other highs are illegal. I want to feel better, more energized. I’ll give it a try for a couple of days and see what happens. In the meantime I think I’d better go get those pictures ordered, oh and a menu, and the announcements need to be addressed…
PS – I really am thankful that my problems are not problems at all, just the everyday blessings of living! God bless!

had no idea so much was involved in graduation! Of course, there was no woman around then.. so none of that was done around here. ha
I think that’s a great idea. I plan on starting that this summer too. Not the D word, though. I just change a bit of what I eat. Still eat what I want, just not the junk as often. I do weight lifting. I haven’t lifted though in a long time. I loved in. Heavy weights. I started it after I had Allison. Once I got to my pre-pregnant size, I was already hooked. Then I was just hooked on making the weights go up. It’s really funny to see the faces in the gym of a short little woman deadlifting and squating 200+lbs, and doing unassisted pull ups.
Pull-ups? I’m jealous, I never have been able to do those.
