The beginning of the week....

Well, I have made thru yet another Monday. I got up went to work and I left work around 11 am, to pick Cassidy up from school, so she could get home and finish her English exam writing and take it back to school, so she wouldn't have to go to school tomorrow. She did it!!! Yea Cassidy :-)

There is just one more day left to this school year. And what a challenging year 8th grade has been for all of us. I am so hoping that next year goes better. This summer we are going to get on a schedule and stick to it!!! Stick to it I say!!!!!!

Cassidy is going to read 2 books this summer and both Cassidy & I are going to do a daily journal. We are going together, pick a day which we will exchange them and read what each other has written. I so hope this will help Cassidy over all.....

Well, I need to get ready for bed. And I will work on getting myself together with this blogging....

** We are going to start on daily journal writing on June 1st. And the 1st topic will be.... "What would be my dream summer"

Happy Monday!
Christy

Looks who is back..........

Hello Blogville.......

This is just a fast short note, to say I am still around. But as you can see above, a litttle blue blinking "training" box.. Yes, I am training to walk 60 miles in 3 days! Yes, you heard that correct. October 29,30,31, 2010, I am going to walk 60 miles with my sister n law-Debra, my sister Dianne and about 2000 other men & women. We are walking for the Susan G. Koemen Breast cancer.... So, we have to do some serious walking before October 29.... you just can't wake up on the 29th and go "I think I am going to walk about 20 miles today" and then sleep in a tent and get up and do it again!!!!!

So I will keep you posted... But you can also go to the susangkoemen3dayforthecure website and look up "boonesboobs", I am doing a litttle blog on there. Also, you can make a donation, I have to raise $2300 for the walk. So go check us out.

Happy Tuesday night!

What to do.......

Well, we have "sprung" forward...... I can only wish that we could stay with either time.. Why is it that just when you get used to one time it is time to change again? Why can't we just chose one and keep it! Here it is 935 pm on Monday night and it feels like it is only 835 pm..

I guess I need to update on the what is happening. This past Saturday, my dad, Shawn and myself took off on a 11.7 mile walk from Mt. Dora (our house) to the Cracker Barrel in Leesburg. Half way thru this walk, I was so wanting to quit! But I kept on trucking. (Plus my dad and Shawn were still walking and not complaining or mentioning that they want to stop.. So on we went) In October I am going to walk 60 miles in 3 days for the Susan G. Koeman for Breast Cancer, so I have to start training for this. (Since my surgery on my foot in December, I havent done much.)
So off we go.

(my computer is going to die, so I need to close this for tonight, and I will get back on track on this blog)

Happy Monday Night!!! :-)

Tuesday February 16, 2010

Ok, well here it is the 16th of February and I still haven't gotten my self together. I know, I know I was going to do this, I was going to do that......well, of course I have come up with all kinds of reasons not to. So I must get myself together and start moving forward with this.

So, I am going to start now.. Saturday is my mom's birthday and I am trying to find a good duck receipe to make her. I want to do the Julia Child's receipe from the cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking but looking at the receipe flipping back and forth thru the pages, I have no idea where to begin. So I need get serious and figure out how to do it. (Plus can you even find a duck to cook in February in florida??? My nan used to make it for my mom on her birthday, so it was possible at one time to find a duck! So I am on a mission... duck hunting.....

So I am off to get some stuff going.... laundry, scheduling, and watching some of the olympics. (that is a whole 'nother story)

Happy Tuesday!

Where do I start?......

I am sitting here with my new 3 ring binder and dividers and page protectors, ready to begin my journey of getting organized. But where do I start. I know, I know....it must be done in baby steps! Sometimes that is easier said than done, because I want this to be up and running already!!! I did get Shawn to hang up my new board in the kitchen, so at a quick glance--everyone can see what our week holds for us. (Thank you Shawn)

It is Wednesday evening and I am trying to gather what I need so starting on Sunday, hopefully I can begin my journey of getting organized

So here to my "3 ring binder"...."My Control Journal"

Where to start?........

Well, here it is the 18th day of the new year. I have been putting this off, hemhawing around it, thinking of ways to continue moving forward with the way things are going, but I have to (MUST) get serious and get organized!!!! So I am going to try and keep a daily blog of how I am doing at this. (If anyone knows me, they will tell you that being organized is a VERY LONG STRETCH for me) Just this morning, I spent 15 minutes looking for my ATM card before finally finding it! And Sunday I couldn't tell you where my drivers liscense was...ALL DAY! But both have been found. But this is not the only area I plan on working on...... weekly menus, shopping lists (and sticking to it) cleaning, staying on top of the laundry to name a few. So I plan on getting organized and going to blog about it to.

In all fairness to me, I am going to start fresh on this coming Sunday. (But I am going to gradually get stuff in order at night this week) One of my biggest challenges is not trying to jump to far ahead in the beginning, I do have to remember that I work full time outside of my home and I have a very active 14 year old daughter, and it is basketball season right now, and will be moving into track season. But I know that once, I get all in place our life (Family life) will be so much more productive. Wow, wait til my husband and daughter see what lays ahead! (They will be actively involved in this process also.

So I am off. I want to read a few minutes before I must go to sleep to start my day all over again.
