I’m Frustrated!

Posted on by Mary

To say the Least.

This is going to sound a little whiny but here it goes anyway. I have been trying to ride my bike 2 to 3 miles 3 to 5 times a week. Last week i got sick and could barely breathe. This week i have been getting back into it and am feeling great despite the fact I think I have royally killed my knee!!! So anyway It was time to add some strength training to this exercise routine. i decided a while ago that low impact was a good idea since having three kids has not been nice to my joints…mot to mention I still have small bouts of fibromyalgia..Also I wanted something that I could continue with when and if I ever get pregnant with our fourth and last child!So I decided to go with THE FIRM Ypga and Pilates work out (They came in the same box.. I have both DVDs and the mat along with the brick and the Pilates band but I am missing the Yoga belt strap thingy. the kids had it Hubby took it away from them handed it to me and I said that I would put it in a safe place so they couldn’t find it…HAHAHA. they can’t find it and neither can I!! So If you see it laying around my blog somewhere pick it up and send it through my cyberspace to my email
Thanks a bunch!

Oh and here is a photo in case you have no idea what you are looking for.

Keeping Up!

Posted on by Mary

It’s amazing how hard it can be to keep up on things around the house. I am a Stay at Home mom and before that a Stay at Home Wife. You would think that with all i have been doing around our house it would look a little better…That couldn’t be further from the truth. I work all day around the house and by the end of the day I am frustrated because I feel as though I have absolutely nothing to show for it. It’s frustrating . Hopefully by the end of the week there will be a considerable change though. After all sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better Right?

I think I need to clrify!

Due to some email comments I received concerning my post the Y-factor
Let me clarify a few things. The kind of “Whys” I was referring to are not ones of rebellion or questioning authority but of why or how things work. The kind of Why that sparks a person to rip a part a toaster to figure our why a toaster works…or better yet How it works.

I was originally going to post some of the comments I received via email but decided those who responded via email wanted to stay anonymous for a reason. So as I clarify this I wish i could say that it is a toddler type curiosity but I know all too well that there are adults and teenagers who have this same type of drive to figure out how the world works. Matter of fact i live with an adult version of this.

I hope my kids always have that kind of curiosity. That is what keeps us learning throughout life. I love to learn and so does my husband. I hope that is something that we will always be able to instill in our kids. Once we believe we have arrived then life becomes boring.

One last note to those of you who think Tornado was questioning authority I guess a lot gets lost in the written world. you can tell a lot about a child’s intentions by the tome in which they speak. Tornado was trying to understand circumstances and not be rebellious. though we do have those moments as well. We correct him for those moments and move on.

We will all have rebellious moments after all we are all sinners. Our goal is to have fewer and fewer rebellious moments as they get older. I hope that explains a little firther of what I am thinking. Please feel free to comment here or via email .
