Halloween

Good Morning,
Took Austin to the orthopedic doctor yesterday, and they took another x-ray, and his pinkie bone is healed so tomorrow he goes back, and they are going to remove the nail they put in during surgery. They are going to give him a shot in his finger, and cut it open, and remove the nail. My son is not excited about this at all, he keeps saying he does not want it to come out yet. I will be glad when that appointment is over.

My kids got to go to a big Halloween party last night at there Youth group they got to dress up,
and ate pizza, pop, candy, and all kinds of snacks. They had a great time, there is another party tonight Austins going to, and Devan has one at the school, and they are having a Halloween dance on Friday...So lots of fun. Our adult party is Friday night, and then of course Devan is invited to a big Halloween party on Saturday with his friend that has a indoor pool, so they will be swimming, and eating lots of candy I'm sure. I will take Brooke trick or treating, and Brian will hand out candy, and Austin is to old to trick or treat, so he will hand out candy and eat it... I'm sure.

Today is all about working out...which I just did so I feel better more energy, Working on some calls for my business, and making healthy food for myself, and figuring out something healthy for dinner. Tomorrow is usually my friends get together day, but I'm going to have to cancel do to Austins Dr Appointment, because I'm just going to keep him home from school for the day. His finger will be soar I'm sure. So that covers this week I wish you all a great Halloween and remember to take great care of yourself today, and always.

Good Morning,
Today is one day closer to the Halloween Party. I have been eating even healthier than I normally do lots of banana's, apples, raw nuts, spinach mixed with fruit in the blender ....yum. I feel like I do better with my exercise routine when I have things in my life to look forward to like party's, and activities that are planned, everyone needs a great motivator, and I always feel so great when I have weeks that I take great care of myself. I have not had one piece of candy yet, and to be honest I don't even feel like buying it this year for Halloween, and at the party I will bring my own fruit so that I wont be tempted to eat there candy, I'm not a big fan of sweets anyway Fruit is sweet enough for me.

Yesterday was all about spoiling are new puppy's, and friends came over to see them. So today I get to clean house wash sheets, and get my house in order...Fun right. Take a shower, advertise my business, do some presentations, figure out a healthy meal for dinner, pick up kids from school,Help with homework, and eat dinner, Take them to there youth group Halloween party, spend time with husband, and go to bed.... How exciting, right. Story of a moms life always busy never enough time to get everything done. Then try, and create a social life as well amidst everything. Have a great Day everyone.

Monday.

Good Morning,
Monday is here again it amazes me how the weeks just go by so fast. The new puppy's are now three weeks old, and they have there eyes opened...They are so cute. Next comes walking around playing with each other. They are ready for there new homes November 21, so if you know anyone that would love to have a new Chihuahua puppy for the Holidays contact me.

I just got the kids to school, and got my workout completed... I love having a home gym it makes my life so much easier. I'm concentrating on working my Abs this week, because my husband, and I have been invited to a Halloween party this Friday night, and my super girl costume shows my abs, so lots of sit ups, and weight training, and palates this week, and a tan... is what is required. My husband is freaking out, because I bought him a Superman costume, and he has to wear tights, he is not a happy camper, so I will be sure to take lots of pictures to tease him. LOL. It will be lots of fun since it is an adults only party. He will have a few drinks, and forget hes in tights, and he cant wear his glasses.

This week also on Tuesday we go back to the doctor for Austin to get his nail removed from his pinkie finger, or just checked I'm not sure what they are going to do. My husband also had an interview last Friday for a new job out at Hanford, so we are praying for that, its more money...which is always nice since the Holidays are coming, and with three teenagers you know how expensive that is, just feeding them is crazy expensive. I wish all of you a great day, and like I always say do something wonderful for yourself today.

Kids bad choices.

Good Morning,
Yesterday was a crazy day. I talk alot about positive living, but there are some days, that I really need to go back, and read my own Blogs, because sometimes it seems that when one bad thing happens it just continues on all day. So this is how it went. Woke up with my husband, got his lunch ready, and visited with him at 4:30am then went back to sleep the kids forgot to set there alarm, except my oldest. So we all had to hurry to get out the door for school. Got them to school came home exercised as I always do, continued on with my daily routine, worked, and got a call from my kids school my middle child is in seventh grade, and this year he has decided that he would rather be the class clown, and hang around all the people that think there funny, and they just don't feel like doing school work they just want to flirt with the girls, and party. so he calls me to tell me that he has a step 4 ...Which means that a parent has to come in, and talk to the principal before he can go back to class. So I get to the office, and the principal has Devan tell me what happened, and Devan said "That he was horsing around at recess with his friends" So basically the principal explained that he and his group of friends have all been warned, and he still continued to do it.. Which the kids call it 'slap ass Friday, they like to slap kids in the ass. Its getting out of control, girls have been doing it as well they all think its funny,The principal however does not think that it is funny. So anyway I brought up his grades, and the principal checked them in his computer, and said " You are in honors class for math and science, and if you get behind you could get kicked out of that class.He knows how to do the work hes very smart hes just choosing not to turn in his work, So I am having my son stay after school until he gets it all figured out that school work has to be completed, and turned in on time all the time...Which is really ridicules, because he is thirteen. I guess for me as a mom I have always told my kids that School is the most important part right now for them to focus on, because I want them all to go to college, and have a great life. I also understand that they want to have fun to, so hopefully he can get back on track, because this is a non working situation. So as a mother when things like this happen... I need to take a deep breath, and not let it affect my mood for the whole day.

Today seems to be a better day, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. We can lead, and teach are children and realize they are children, and they are going to make mistakes, and they are life lessons, that we all have to learn. Have a great day, kiss, and hug your children even if they make bad choices.

Marriages.

Good Morning,
I feel refreshed, and back to normal, last week was very different my husband was practically home all week because of a power outage. My husband means well, but hes the type of husband that doesn't know what to do when hes home so he just sits in his recliner all day watching TV, and wanting to know everything about everything wanting me to sit there with him. I cant stand it, because I am the opposite I take the kids to school come home ,workout, write my Blog. I hardly watch TV. I feel like hes kind of like having a kid at home to cook for, and take care of. Don't get me wrong, I love him it is just that we are so different, and the things that stimulate his mind, don't mine. Like I like to stay busy... so I can think of projects for him to do around the house, and he would rather waste his day watching TV, and that is annoying to me. So when hes gone working all day I have time to miss him, and that makes a stronger marriage to me. Plus I don't have to see him on the recliner wasting the days. Now if you ask him he would say that he loves being home spending lots of alone time with me. I guess that's how woman are different then men. I'm always thinking about everything that needs to be done around here, and he just wants lots of days off. I can see why so many marriages have problems when they retire, because they end up driving each other crazy. No matter how much you love someone there are still things that drive you crazy about them.

For my sanity I have to just ignore the fact that he is different than I am, and that we both have separate needs, and wants. I do the things that are important to him.. Food and SEX... LOL and I nourish my soul by working out eating right... which is also not important to him. working at a home job that I love, and keeping positive influences in my life, and taking one day a week to be with my great positive friends, we get dressed up, go to coffee, lunch, shopping... whatever we feel like on that day, and that truly nourishes my soul, so I guess I just need to celebrate the differences between a man and a woman, and just continue doing what I need to do to take great care of myself, and my family, and not worry about anything else. By the way we are going on our sixteen year anniversary in November, so I guess I can keep going. Have a great Day, and do something wonderful for yourself, and celebrate your differences today.

Monday Morning

Good Morning,
Today is back to normal husband back to work, and kids back to school...its a great Day, lots of alone time which I love. I came home, exercised... which always makes me feel better, now of course writing my Blog, and then on to Business presentations. Great day so far what a great day to be able to work from home.

What I have found in my life is it is either working, or not working. So I focus on whats working in my life, and not whats not working, because when you continue working on whats working you do not put any energy on whats not. Eventually you get what you focus on so by focusing on the working aspects of your life, Guess what... great things start to happen for you, and you start to have a whole new outlook on life, Your attitude changes, and people around you will change because you have, and you will be a happier more rounded person.
Start focusing today on all the aspects of your life that you love, and then do that for every area of your life. Write down all the positive aspects of your life ,and then create a plan of action on all the things you feel are not working. What ever it is if you want more communication with a loved one, more money, or whatever it is, start journaling your plan of action, and like I said 'whatever you write, or speak about , or focus on you can create for yourself. Life is way to short not to create your wonderful life, So I encourage myself, and you to start your Action plan today. Write out the life you want and create it today. you can put it all in a vision board and focus on it daily too.

Make this the best possible life that you can have you deserve to have everything you have ever wanted start today. You do have the ability to make anything that you want happen. You just have to do it. Have a great day. Remember for home base business ideas. http://momswantmore.com/ursula

Saturday morning

Good Morning,
I'm working in my outdoor office today, and decided to write, alot has been going on. A death in the family my husbands grandma died last weekend, she had been in a nursing home for a few years so we knew it would just be a matter of time, they seem to fail faster in those places, and my grandma is in a Alzheimer unit, and my neighbor also died, growing older happens, and we just have to know that when they do die that they are in a better place.

My mother is sixty six, and has never been a part of my kids life, because she is an alcoholic, and very selfish. so sad to say, she has been dead for awhile also, it feels like. When I say to my kids do you want to go to grandmas house they all scream 'No at the same time...how sad, Are you alive and present in your life? or are you merely going through the motions to try and survive. Are you happy? Are you living life to the fullest? How would people remember you, if you died today? These are the things I always think about, are you leaving an impact on people around you, Are you a caring and loving person? Are are you known as the fun killer? Deaths in the family always make me feel like I want to do the best for myself, and my family, and the people around me to leave a positive mark on this world...Lord knows we have enough negativity around us, we do not need to contribute.

Look at your life today, and think about someone you loved that died, and ask yourself what kind of person they were, and what kind of person are you going to be remembered for when you die. I encourage you to Make some great positive changes for yourself today. be a loving nourishing person. Laugh as much as possible, and focus on whats good, and not bad you can retrain your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Do it today, Blessings Ursula
