5 Question Friday

1. Have you set any goals/resolutions for 2013? Goals yes, I really want to lose another 20 pounds so I can say I lost 100 pounds. I really want to work on being a better wife. 2. Have you made any travel/vacation plans for 2013? Only in my dreams, a friend is renewing vows and I would love to go. A friend from my old homeschool group suggested I come in town for it. I would give anything to be able to go for the week and visit friends. 3. What room is never cleaned in your house? My girls bedroom. It is upstairs and I do not go up there daily. I need to clean out all of their buckets and help them re organize. WAIT! I would say there room is clean or at least straightened regularly. It is the garage that is always a mess. 4. What food must be in your house at all times? Fiber one bars, they are my go to snack or even breakfast meal. I keep a box in the van and almost always have one in my purse. 5. Are you a hugger or more of a hands off person? Hands off, it feels weird to hug strangers. I am better than I use to be. I can tolerate it now. Pamela

Mil-Spouse fill in Friday

1. What’s one thing in the past month you would have changed? So many I cannot mention. I would have spent more time making Christmas ornaments with the kids. We did not make as many as we said we would. 2. What was your favorite thing that happened in December? We spent time with my husband uncle. He showed photo albums from the last 20 years. He has so much heritage to teach us. He has seen so much and done so much. 3. What are you looking forward to in January? Getting back on schedule, as much as we enjoyed time off with my husband it will be back to school and getting things in order. 4. What did you do for New Year’s Eve? We spent most of the day and all evening at a friend’s house. We ate and ate and ate and burned our Christmas tree. 5. What are your hopes and wishes for 2013? My wishes for 2013 are for relationships to be mended and hearts to be restored. To lose my next 20 so I can say I have lost 100 pounds. To work on my blog more, I really want to be more dedicated and really write instead of being chicken to publish my real thoughts. Pamela

Wordless Wednesday

Do you ever have a jumping contest with our kids? If so, who wins? Does your daughter ever command a leaf with her finger (okay it was hanging by a spider web)? Do you remember hanging on the jungle gym when you were little? I actually had a desire to try it when I saw how much fun she was having? Pamela

Weighty Issues

Well I finally hit the 80 pound mark, you may have heard me screaming. As of this morning I was back to 171. Too many cookies. So my goal is to lose 20 more pounds before March 1. That would be 100 pounds in a year. I do not know if I will make it but I am going to try. It is time to get serious again. I need to reach this goal for me. I do not know what I will want after that but for now I want to get to 147. So I am open to suggestions. I am starting by drowning myself in water, upping my excercise which is easy considering I have not done much recently. I need to set a prize for myself. Something fun, maybe a new IPAD. Okay, more like a new pair of pants or a winter coat. The one I have now is a size 24. Pamela

Wordless Wednesday

Okay this was just too funny. I am totally not making fun of the owner of the car because I do not know them. What made me laugh was they could have fixed the car easier than punching all the extra holes in there. What is the craziest thing you have done to fix something? Pamela
