Chaos

It has been a month to the day since my last post. I'M SORRY KYNNIE!!! It has been a crazy busy month. Trying to finish up the school year. Courtney has been reading everything she sees. . . which in some cases is not so great. Some, well most, magazine headlines in the checkout lanes are NOT appropriate for children. She has really taken hold of the counting money thing, and is now figuring up how much she "charges" for chores ($5 to set the table), and how much she would make A DAY to do her chores daily. I kindly, but firmly, informed her that she lives here for free, eats food for free, uses my electricity for free. She will not be paid to do normal chores. Or I will start charging her for doing her laundry, meals, and whatever else I can come up with. It all evens out in the end either way! Hahaha!

Boot Camp is going great! After only 3 weeks I lost 3.2% body fat and 6 inches over all. Woohoo!!! And I have become a gym junkie. I love going. Some days are harder than others. Physically and mentally. Last week was really hard on my bad shoulder (injured 9 years ago lifting a 375+ patient when I worked for the private ambulance). Friday was the worst for it. Right now I'm worried about tomorrow. I have had a killer headache for 2 days, and just can't seem to shake it. Even with a nice long nap this afternoon. I won't miss tomorrow, but if this headache doesn't going to let up I will be miserable, not focused, and . . . very cranky.

I've hit that time of year, just before W4 (our VBS), where I debate the length of my hair. Do I cut it again, or keep it longer? I have decided it will be another month before I do anything. I will not go through another W4, in the horrible heat, with my hair too short for a pony tail. If you know me, my hair is almost always up. Since I've been doing the boot camp thing, I can't remember the last time I actually really straightened my (already straight) hair. Why waste time when I can just put it up? It took a year to get back long enough to just throw up anyways!

I am doing a 5k in August! My dear friend Marla is a pancreatic cancer survivor, and I will be running on her team for the Purple Stride 5k. I am considering putting on a 5k in the area for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or just the Muscular Dystrophy Association. I would have to pick some brains on how one goes about organizing a 5k. We shall see. Maybe I'll glean information this year, and have the 5k next year. Probably the latter since the Jerry Lewis Telethon is in September and my summer is already crammed full of not wanting to be rushed with something like organizing a 5k.

I have no new funny "I'm still single" stories for this post. I'm just still single. My friend asked me "So, have you been on many dates lately?" Which made me laugh, because he knew I hadn't been on a date in years. How would I magically go from none to more than 1? His reply to my asking who on earth would I go out with "There are about 1.5 billion guys to choose from." I really was rendered speechless. 1.5 BILLION guys, and no one wants to go out with me. Oh, sadness and heartbreak.

And on that note, my headache is telling me to go to bed. So, as always. . .

The.End.

Life Gets a Little Crazy

I feel like sleeping, not blogging, so this will be a bit more rushed than normal. It's been so long since I've posted anything, I just felt that it was about time I caught up (not that anyone really cares. Haha).     Being sick got me behind in everything from laundry and dishes to sleep and school work with the girls. . . and editing photos. Now life has been full of catching up and cleaning up.     I found the cure to Courtney's inability to sleep before I go to bed. Constant music. I found a Disney lullaby cd at the library, and have been playing it all night in their room. Courtney sleeps so much better, which means I sleep much better!      My photography session scheduling went crazy the past 2 months and I have been struggling to keep up with all the editing. The editing takes lots of time. Here's an example: I sat for 3 hours straight just color correcting wedding pictures. You would normally think "WOW!! She probably got a whole lot done!"...

One Liners Christian Singles Don't Want to Hear. . . Again.

So I have been misunderstood, and feel like I should redo this whole thing and put it here. Beware, I will be being myself, and if you don't know me well, may take it terribly wrong. If so, and you think I'm being mean, read it again with a different mindset until you get it right. How will you know? You'll think "Hmmm... that's bitingly sarcastic and funny!" That is unless you don't have a sense of humor. Then you're just out of luck and probably shouldn't read any farther. I have been a single mom for over 8 years. I decided that the general public needs to be reminded what not to tell us singles because, well, they keep saying the same programmed responses. Empty responses that others seem to feel responsible for telling us. Over and over and over and over. . . . Singles Christians everywhere get told the same placating remarks every day. At least once. We may be asked if we're seeing anyone, we may be venting about being tired of being ...

Oh the Randomness of this Blog

I feel that life has taken some huge turns as of late. Some great, some. . . not so much. Some I can tell about, some. . . I'd just rather not. Some are yet to be decided.      First of all, I love my small group. I can't believe how great a fit we are! The personalities, the kids. We're so weird!! Last night I shared a recent issue I have to deal with. Most people would say "Is there anything we can do?" or "Can we help?". Passive offers. While there is nothing wrong with that, for someone like me, it is much more effective the way it was worded last night, "What do you need from us? What can we do? What do you need us to do?" Not asking if, but what. I put my independent "I can do this" self on a shelf, because really, I just keep getting so overwhelmed that I can't do it. I told them what I needed, they rallied behind me, made a plan, and encouraged me. This group is so tight knit, so there for each other. God really placed m...
