wednesday morning

I was reading differnt Blogs yesterday, and found one that I loved, She wrote there is always going to be someone that has a bigger House than you... A bigger nicer car than you... Prettier than you... and on and on. The most important thing that we can do is instead of focusing on what we don't have, and trying to get what we think we need through materialism, is focus on what we do have, and learn to love ourselves just as we are, except ,and love ourselves. If you really think about it how boring would this world be if we all looked alike, drove the same cars , and lived in the same kind of house. I love the fact that we all look different, and everybody drives different vehicles, and some people have big houses, and some prefer smaller ones.. How great to have that choice. The more you focus on loving yourself just as you are, the more you will see positive in every situation, and celebrate the differences... that we all have. We have a choice daily to be grateful for who we are, and what we have, or you can sit around and waste your time thinking about what someone else has, and wishing you looked like them. Which one do you choose. I encourage you to choose the first choice, and stop wasting time focusing on what you don't have, and be the best you can possibly be today. You are perfect just as you are, and what you have in your life be very grateful for. Make today, this day the greatest day you can possibly make it.

Tuesday morning

I'm up bright and early finally feeling rested, and once I start working out this morning I will feel much better. There is something about taking great care of yourself, that your body misses when you stop. I took the whole weekend off, and even yesterday, so its time today to make it happen. The more you learn what works for you the more you want to continue doing it, because the results are worth it. I have been studying the health and wellness industry for awhile now, and there is a direct correlation with nutrition and exercise. We can actually turn back the clock, and stop the aging process by taking great vitamins, exercising, Bioidentical hormones, Getting a great nights sleep eight hours at least, living a happy positive life, having a full healthy balanced sex life... which by the way can be a great workout. Stop stress in your life, alot of stress creates health problems, make healthy food choices, and when you do blow it do better the next day, and don't beat yourself up about it. Surround yourself with positive like minded people, and be responsible, but have as much fun as possible doing it. Stop taking life so serious. Start today, you and I making it the best day possible, and whatever is standing in your way of having the best, healthiest, happiest life, you can possible have... remove it from your life today, or change it .Sometimes its just our own thoughts that stand in our way, and our own disbelief , that things can be different, that can actually paralyse us into doing nothing and staying stuck. Get some great books on nutrition, and start today. Today is the first day of the rest of your life... Make it happen you deserve it. Http://momswantmore.com/ursula

Monday morning.

Good morning. I had a great, and busy weekend. We had friends stay with us. They came Friday at about 1:00pm and left Sunday at 1:00pm. When they arrived we had them put all there stuff down in the basement, and gave them the whole basement, two adults, and two toddlers. We visited and got reacquainted. I made lunch then the guys took the kids to chucke cheese because there is no chucke cheese in Lewiston Idaho. His wife, and I decided to stay home and get all the prep work done for dinner, and of course make some margaritas, and have are girl talk... which is very important. we made fryed food that night, finger steaks, and egg roll wraps... which are two of my kids favorite foods. we got done with all the prep work, and the wraps and finger steaks were ready to be fryed, and the guys and kids got home, and were ready to eat we started frying, and we made a feast. Dinner was over, and all the clean up part was done, and the kids went out, and played on the trampoline, and my boys were getting the fire ready to roast marshmallows. We adults were visiting on the patio, when all of a sudden we heard this bang, and a loud cry. we look over to the trampoline, which has a net on it. Jena there daughter manages to fall through the opening of the trampoline to the grass. She was OK, it just scared her and us. needless to say she did not want to get back on the trampoline again, and there son did not want to either. we got there mind off of that by the fire pit, and we roasted marshmallows, and made smores. Fun time for kids. My daughter tried teaching them how to hula hoop, but there kids are only two and four... so not so much. They put the younger kids to bed it was really late at this point and my oldest son decided that he was going to watch TV, and sleep in the outside office so that he could still stay up late, and watch his shows, and sleep in. My two other kids finally got tired, and went to bed us girls visited as long as we could, and about 1:00am we had finally had enough. The guys were just to wasted for us to relate. The guys came to bed shortly after. The next morning I woke up at 7:00am Devan my son was awake on the computer playing a game, and there son walked up from the basement, and started playing spore with my son. I turned on the coffee and jumped in the shower, because my hair smelled like smoke from the fire. Got ready for the day, and made a big breakfast for everyone. The plan for the day was to take the kids to the river, and go rafting since they had never been rafting before. we went to the store, and got some stuff we needed , came home, and packed the cooler and headed to the river. Everybody had a great time we were all very tired by the time we packed up and left. We get home, and everyone took showers, and baths. my daughter gave there daughter a bath, and while she was doing that we layed down for a little while, and my daughter, came into my room where Corryn, and I were laying down, because there was no other quiet place, and my husband went to the store to buy more margarita mix for us. Jena there daughter layed down with us after her bath, and my daughter messaged all of our feet, with peppermint lotion. Jena feel asleep she was so relaxed,We put her on the couch, and the dogs slept with her, and we took some cute pictures, then it was back to reality of making dinner. We made dinner, and went out on the patio drank margaritas, laughed, and had a great late night. We went to bed about 2:30 am. Then next day was all about us being tired, and company getting ready to go home, it takes allot to get packed and ready to go. They left at 1:00pm, and I took a nap, which I normally do not do, but I was still feeling dizzy from drinking margaritas all night. My family, and I watched a movie from netflix ate dinner, and went to bed early. have a great day today everyone. Oh, and my dogs had lots of fun they finally got stuck together on Sunday so we will be having baby's soon.

Thursday

Good Morning to you all. I have been having a great time writing these Blogs. I hope you all have been enjoying reading them. Today is get ready for company day. We have friends coming from Lewiston Idaho. They are coming Friday for a three day weekend with us. Lots of food, fun, campfires, laughing, and staying up all night. When we get together with them we have so much fun we stay up all night. It is so great to have friends come visit. They have Two kids, a chihuahua, and we have three Teenagers, and have two chihuahuas, a boy and a girl, and are girl is in heat, so it is going to be allot of dog action going on. luckily there kids are young enough they may not figure out whats going on unless they catch them stuck together. We started breeding two years ago and the first time, Devan my middle son went out to the backyard and ran in the house and said" Mom somethings wrong with the dogs there stuck together" I had never experienced that either, so I was thinking great... look what I got myself into. The dogs are both staring at us looking all like now what, so I decided to pick them both up since the sprinklers were about to go on, and bring them in the house on a towel, and time it. They stay stuck for thirty minutes... Yuck. So as you can see that's what is going to be happening at are party this weekend... Dogs just wan ta have fun too. I'm sure I will have lots of story's to share with you on Monday. Have an amazing weekend and do something wonderful for yourself today, Ursula

wednesday morning

Good morning. Im enjoying my quiet time once again. When you have three teenagers running around planning, your every move, its nice to have your alone time anytime you can get it, and mine seems to always be in the mornings, after my husband leaves for work. He leaves at 5:00am, so that works out perfect. What I have learned early on about keeping myself balanced, and happy is... I must first take great care of myself, in order to be the best wife, and Mother I can possibly Be. I have spoke to many mothers over the years that simply say to me " I dont have time to excercise, I dont have time to plan healthy meals, and on, and on. " What I say to them is" if you forget to put your name at the top of your to do list, you are ripping yourself off and devaluing yourself, and not allowing your full self to shine through." What I know is, it is so easy to get so busy that before you know it... You have let yourself GO. by doing everything to make your family happy... you think, and nothing you need to do to keep yourself fit , whole , and happy. One day your going to look in the mirror and say to yourself " what has happened to me" I think some Wifes and Mothers think they are taking care of themselfs by doing everything for there family, and they feel like they will have time for them, when the kids are gone. I say NO ...now is the time.... Do you want to look, and feel better, Do you want to get the rest you deserve to get, Do you want to be the wife, and Mother that wears the clothes that show your shape, or Do you want to be the one that finds the biggest shirt you can find in your closet to hide the fact that your gaining weight, because you dont want to take time for yourself. When I say this to you I know how it feels to live that way, believe me... I have been that wife and Mother hiding under clothes. Guess what I put myself first On my to do list, and I No longer have to hide underneath my clothes, or anything else. I am more confident, and my husband, and kids are grateful I did that for myself. It is a fight at first, when you decide to do great things for yourself. I promise you If you do this for yourself, you will be the best that you can Be. Start by taking great vitamins, healthy fruits, vegies, whole grains, and do some sort of excercise everyday. Oh and before your husband comes home even if it has been a busy day, take off your casual clothes,find something nice, fix your hair, and makeup, and look great, so that he is excited to come home. Men are very visual, and be positive. Make Today your Day. Moms and dads you deserve that for yourself, and your family. http://momswantmore.com/ursula and also check out my new support group join today http://momswantmore.ning.com/ Its time now to go excersise. Have a great day.

Tuesday morning

Good morning, Im up bright and early enjoying my alone time. House is clean remodeling almost done, and the scent of coffee fills the air ...How great is that. We have had record Heat now for about three weeks, so anytime I can open the windows, and doors to get some fresh air, I am grateful, which is early in the morning. I seem to get so much done early in the morning. I guess having the quiet time, and fresh air blow through inspires me. When you find what works for you do it. takecare of yourself, and when you nourish your soul everything just seems to flow better. When I started working at home two years ago I was not sure how to do that, because I was so use to being on a tight schedule. Getting the kids up. and ready for school, getting myself ready for work, and being so stressed about time. I would yell at the kids, and just feel rushed all the time. Go to work and stay there all day, and then rush home to get the kids, stress about what I was going to make for dinner, and on and on. It just seems like I gave all I had at work that I felt like I did not have much left for the kids. I lived that way with the family for about five years stressed, and rushing around with a bad attitude, then I finally had had enough, and decided It was time to make a change. and that If I didnt do it for myself nobody would, and in order to have that happy life I had dreamed about, I would have to make some changes. I had always dreamed about how great it would be to work from home, and create the hours that work best for me, and my family. I researched alot of Home Businesses and found my perfect match, which is a fantastic wellness Company. At first it was a hard adjustment, because I was so used to being stressed, mad, and Rushed that it took awhile to calm down and focus on my goal. I made a great home office, and in the office was lots of positive words to keep me centered and focused. Now two years later I am calmer, healthier, and peaceful, and you know what they say" If moms not happy nobody is". Well guess what there is peace in my home now. I write in my gratitude journal, I am so very thankful for everything I have. I am so much more awhere of my home life, whats going on with my kids, my husband , and myself. It has been the best change that I could possibly have ever made. I workout everyday, and make healthy food choices for myself, and my family. I feel like I am getting younger, and not older. I have great Eco friendly products that I use everyday, and have lots of energy from my wonderful vitamins that I take twice a day Am, and Pm ones, and a positive attitude, which the family is thankful for. I encourage everybody that reads this to reach for whatever it is in your own life that is going to make you a happier, healthier person Live life to the Fullest, create your healthy , happy life today... If not now than when, Ursula http://momswantmore.com/ursula

Monday morning.

• Good Morning, I had a very big weekend. I know many of you know that my husaband, and I have been remodeling are House to make it a custom home for us. There were two walls that needed to be knocked down, that was my part, and then rebuilding was my husbands part. Two walls leading into the kitchen, We opened it up so that we have bigger entrances. We have new entrances with of course custom archs... He did a great job. We also sanded are wood floors, and dining room table, and resealed them. The only thing that is left for the new entrances is to be textered, and painted. It makes you feel good when you make your house a home. Today is all about sweeping and mopping to get all the dust and dirt cleaned up. I can tell you , I am so very grateful that I get to work from Home today, my body is soar working all weekend. It seems like when you buy a home there is always projects to do, Unless of course you build your own custom home. My husband, and I have been remodeling homes, it seems like forever. We have always bought older homes and remodeled them . Its great to take an older home, and visualize what it will look like remodeled, and it is usually better than youve imagined it to be. You all have a Great day today, Ursula
