Craving Improvement

The kids eating chips and milk for lunch!  Super mom RIGHT?

Life has changed a little over here for us.  My kids are now being watched at least 2 times a week, most of the time they love it.  I travel to school at least 2 times a week, sometimes more, if I need extra help. In my mind I keep thinking how close I am to done, & then I kinda act like I am done, by doing nothing.  I am hindering my own growth, but that isn't anything new for me.  I read on a fitness blog today this little quote, and it totally fits my life in a number of ways.

Success doesn't mean you haven't made mistakes.  It just means you've made the effort to keep going after making them.  

  I am not only hindering my growth in school, but in all aspects in my life.  I feel like I have hit a dead end.  The only thing I can think to do is make an effort to be better....I really am trying.  Most days I feel like I am completely failing in EVERY department.  I know I am not the only one out there that struggles with these feelings.    But the last month I keep thinking of all the things I wish I would have done different.  But mistakes are going to happen, it is how you react, and live with them.  I hope that I am reacting in a positive way.  I hope that I am getting a little better in all areas of my life.

My neighbor and I have been trying to work out in the mornings.  When I say try, it is really a hit and miss.  But it gets me moving every once in a while.  Kade was so excited for me that he went and helped me pick out some new kicks.  He was so excited, it makes me wonder why he is so for me working out.  I love them and they are probably the nicest feeling shoes I have ever worn.

By just being more diligent in working out, the rest of my day normally goes better.  I sometimes am even in a better mood.  In YW last week we were talking about the word of wisdom and how health and fitness are a part of it, & people forget that.  We talked about how important it was to take care of our precious temples of God by being healthier.  This lesson has stuck with me and this week I really tried to be a little better!  

Sorry about my randomness, I feel like I am all over the place.

I happily filled out my graduation application today.  

I will soon have a degree that means pretty much nothing! HOORAY! 

On a side note, it looks like this week will be a busy one.  We have a funeral and lots of family coming in.  I sadly am not looking forward to this particular party, we love and miss you Grandpa Metcalf!
