A Month In...

It's been a long while since I last updated my blog!! Not that anyone has probably noticed, cause I doubt anyone reads it...but....it's good to put my thoughts on here, helps me to reflect later on.



Last time I updated, I was so excited that the architect was going to draw us some plans to add onto our house. Well, sad to say that it was a "no-go"...and now we're going to look at a house tomorrow after church to see if moving is what we want to do. Everyone in the family is all for it, except Big Daddy!! He's the one that makes the most and works the longest hours...so his opinion is crucial!!! But over the past month, Kevin has gone from NO I don't want to move, to well let's see what this house looks like...to even coming home the other day telling me what all we must do to get our house ready to list!! WOW!!! :)



School has been in session for over a month now with kids and almost 2 months for me counting all the hours the I put into moving into my room and getting it ready for kiddos. What a relaxing year it has been too. I have 19 kiddos....and nobody has any big issues. Learning or behavioral-wise. It's been kind of nice also to be in a different hallway. I get to greet the kids as they come off the bus and that's fun for me.



I'm learning FINALLY the art of keeping my mouth shut. My mouth gets me into all sorts of trouble and I've prayed about my mouth and when I hear God say....STOP...I've been walking away and that's been good for me. I want to live out Psalm 119:1 in my life.



I had my yearly checkup this week...that's always so much fun for me. Everything went fine, except when the doctor said for me to keep up with my blood pressure for a couple of weeks. It was a little high in his office...DUH...I hate going to the dr.!!!!! So, the commitment to working hard on the treadmill or going for walks will have to be REAL!!! I refuse to have to resort to blood pressure medication!!!! I stopped drinking pop on a regular basis a long time ago...I already drink at least 32 ounces of water while I'm at school daily.....and I stick to a pretty good diet at school with brining lunches and eating a healthy breakfast...plus I don't use table salt for anything unless baking. So.....I guess it comes down to working out and getting enough sleep!!!!



I'll post later on all of these updates.....

I am someone...and, I've been waiting a long time for you to update your "diary."

You are a wonderful example of keeping your mouth closed. If only I could keep mine closed. It would probably help if I also prayed about it and had a better attitude. Keep doing a good job because you are who I look up to!
