B-day time...

Well, the day is almost here. I have one year and one day to be in my 30's. Wow!! 39....

My dad and I share our birthdays. I think is is really special. I wouldn't want it any other way.

We are going to have a birthday party here at my house. We are going to have Breakfast for Dinner. Yum!!

Pancakes
Bisquits
Gravy
Scrambled Eggs
Sausage
Bacon
and maybe some hashbrown.

I expect to have at least 18 people, more or less.

My dad will be 64 this year.

So...Happy Birthday to us. LOL.

A kid funny.

We were sitting at the table after lunch. We had been playing "I spy" by spelling words and then Jonathan figuring out what we spelled and spied. Well, it was his turn to spell something and he spelled "bible" because he seen it on a book on the shelf behind Daddy. Then he spelled "landscaping".. Daddy said the word and then asked Jonathan if he knew what it meant.

Jonathan said "yes, it means scaping from the land of America" I laughed do hard. I thought I would roll on the floor.

Happy Birthday!!

We celebrated Jonathan's 6th birthday Tuesday, the 18th. WOW!

He is such a blessing to us!

Below are some of our guests. Don't get scared. LOL.

Here are Daddy and Son playing with Transformers. I think he had a wonderful Birthday

Flylady update

Howdy.

Thought I would post an update since I finished my baby steps on FlyLady.

I am doing pretty good. I still shine my sink, I still swish and swipe the bathroom. I have done some decluttering but I am having a hard time doing it everyday like I should. I have so much that needs doing. I tried to clean out a room the other day, I was just going to work on it 30 minutes...I couldn't do it. I got too frustrated. I don't know what to do with that stuff. grr...

I will try again some day.

I finally got half of the porch cleaned off. I still need to do the other half. Just more stuff to find a place for..

I have been keeping my side of the bedroom pretty clean. I work on hot spots a few times a day.

There are a few of the steps that I still need to make a habit. Making time for myself, decluttering, etc. I have been keeping up with the wash better this month. It is a good feeling to always have clean socks.

Flylady Days 30 and 31

Day 30: Check calender for next months events.

Good idea. I missed my scheduled nursery day this month. I didn't put it on my calender. It was pinned to my fridge but I just missed it anyway. I need to stay ahead.

We don't have any birthdays next month so the only thing right now I can see to keep in mind is my time in the nursery at church.

I looked at day 31 today and there isn't anything to do. FlyLady is proud of me. :)

I have started adding some of the Zone cleaning and am working on adding some weekly habits.

I will not give up!! I will fly someday, I will soar. Yee haw.

Flylady - Day 29

Ok. Time for my FlyLady post.

Day 29: Set time to enjoy the Weekly Pamper Mission. These are listed on the FlyLady web site. I am going to check them out. I have some ideas myself. I just need to figure out when would be a good time to do it.

Here are a few things I will do:
-Milk bath. If you have never done this before, you should try it. Really. Of course I have fresh goat milk to use and I come out of the bath feeling soft and silky.

-Do my nails.

_This I got off Flylady...Soak feet in warm water with some oil and marbles. The marbles help massage the feet. This I can't wait to try.

Flylady - Day 28 and counting

Today, Day 28. Eat good foods, drink water and get your rest. I have put this in my control journal to remind me.

I started a page in my CT that is for this purpose. I have decided to cut back on the amount of sugar I am taking in. I found a work sheet online that I want to do with my son. We list common foods that we eat and how much sugar is in each. Then we work on lowering the sugar we consume. I have the worksheet printed but haven't looked over it with Jonathan.

It mentions that according to the US Department of Agriculture, people consuming 2,000 calories a day should eat no more than about 10 teaspoons of refined sugar per day. That is 40 grams or 1 can of soda. WOW.

I have been doing pretty good on this. There are days we go to DQ and get a Blizzard. At our DQ, the Blizzards, coke floats and drinks are only .99 cents from 3-5pm on week days. That is hard to stay away from. LOL. Anywho, if I have a blizzard one day, I will cut down even more the next day. A Banana Split Blizzard has 58 grams of sugar, that is 14 1/2 teaspoons of sugar. eeekk.

I am going in baby steps to a healthier life. Right now, Cut Down on Sugar. When I get that down pretty good, I will add another step. Not sure what it will be though.

Ok, now I am thirsty. I need water!!
See ya!
