I hate to diet, but my clothes tell me I better get serious! I have done so well this weekend eating lots of fruits and veggies and no junk food! Tomorrow I start back on my Pilates with Maury Winsor (sp). It will be much easier when spring gets here and I can get out and garden, but til then I’m cracking down! Today I had a meeting at school for Matt’s senior class. We discussed project graduation! It really hit me hard today realizing it is only 4 months until he graduates and every since the meeting I have just been feeling really bummed out. It is just unbelievable where the time has gone. It has rained off an on all weekend so we haven’t done much of anything except watch movies this weekend. I’m getting a little stir crazy being couped up!!!!

LOL, Rudy tried to get me on recorder snoring! He’s a nut I tell you. Running around in the dark playing detective, well no wonder he isn’t getting any sleep. I just told him to deal with it - I do! It’s raining and cold again. Actually it is only 43 degrees but the wind is blowing and it’s raining so it feels much colder. I had the day off today and had plans to go shopping with Kalli after school, but we decided to ditch shopping for pj’s, movies, and hot cocoa. I did get my hair cut this morning so at least I got something done that I planned on. I also did some reading while cozied up with Peaches, and we both did some napping!

I’m already for Valentine’s and adore this set of Susie’s. I enjoyed our 3 days of up in the 70’s weather and the low tomorrow morning is suppose to be 25 and warming up to only 35. It has been extremely windy today. Rudy spent the day cutting firewood so we are ready for the cold again. We have 2 fireplaces, 1 downstairs and 1 upstairs. The one downstairs has an insert that distributes heat upstairs, through ducts we had ran. It works very well and last week when we had such cold weather I never even had to turn on the heater. We just had to keep both fireplaces going. I am hoping this saves on our electric bill. I have yet to start my BYOB! book The Mango Season. While waiting for it to arrive I purchased The Power of a Praying Woman, so that is what I’m reading now. This is a wonderful book and I have now purchased The Power of a Praying Wife and TPOAP Parent. I am enjoying the Bible Study at Sharing Hearts and can’t believe I waited so long to join. I signed up for a deal at BlockBuster for $20. a month we can rent as many movies a month that we want and keep them as long as we want, but we can only check out 2 at a time. So we take 2 movies and watch them then return them and take 2 more, and so on for the entire month. Check out what the letters in my name stands for.

Oh my, it has been awhile since I blogged. I have been getting caught up on a few things that I have let slide like my homework! We have been so cold here lately with the highs only in the 30’s for the past week, but today we are now in the 60’s! I cleaned house all morning and have been outside doing a little cleaning, just mainly enjoying the change in weather a bit. Kalli stayed home from school yesterday with cramps. This is the 2nd time she has had to miss school this year because of this. She started her period when she was 11 and she is turning 14 next month, and this is the first time it has kept her from her normal activities. Do you think I should take her to a GYN? She is still so young and I don’t want to traumatize her by having a pelvic exam, but do want to keep her healthy. I think I will call my doctor and see what they think.
