Should be in bed.....

But wanted to note a few things.

I've lost 1 more pound since yesterday.

I've had good energy and felt generally well for the last couple weeks. Until today. I was really tired and dragging, and didn't want to exercise. At all. Bryson didn't say I had to,but he didn't offer to let us stay home and skip it either. So we went. I'm so grateful for Bryson- he's so patient and supportive :o). I didn't enjoy the 40 minute walk, but I'm glad we did it. Hoping tomorrow I feel loads better.

I'm organizing my/our life now. Well, I'm fixing to. I'm making a schedule for keeping the house in order (laundry on Monday, polish furniture Tuesday, etc...) and a menu as well. We have switched pizza/movie night from Friday night to Saturday night, because Poppy requested we not do it on a night he has to work (he gets tired of cold pizza,I guess). And I believe we're going to keep breakfast night on Mondays.... w/waffles or pancakes and bacon. We'll mostly likely have Mexican twice a week- because it's so easy and we love it best. Maybe Tuesday and Fridays? Hmm... will think about it some more.

I used to be so organized (my therapist prior to surgery referred to it as "ADD with OCD tendencies", lol!) but I've felt SO bad the last few years I just couldn't get anything done. I couldn't be more grateful and optimistic that I'm feeling so much better and have significantly more energy. Things have GOT to get done around here, and I'm going to do them. Can I get a "hallelujah!"

Alright now I feel like I can go to bed and rest easy. Tomorrow is laundry and master bathroom day, by the way. And the dishes are all cleared and in the dishwasher- so I won't have to deal with that in the morning. I HATE to clean up the kitchen, whether morning or night. But I also hate to wake up to a dirty kitchen- so my schedule will include dishes every night, and exercise 5 days a week.

G'night & God bless!

I assume they let you take multivitamins after surgery? (Mom couldn't take them before surgery because she'd heal up too quickly if they needed to go back in...) It usually helps me get the energy I need for the rest of the day. Anyway, about organizing life, Amy tried that once, at least for her laundry (Jeans day, shirts & kids clothes, etc), and I don't think it ever worked out for her. For me, I can only take it as it comes. So neat about a weekly menu plan, ie breakfast night, pizza night, mexican, (leftovers??)!! I think I'd like to try that since I always have such a hard time figuring out what to make for dinner. Sam & I actually put together a month's worth of dinner ideas to put together for a month so we could get a grocery list together. That would then help us budget $$ for food...etc. Still haven't implemented, but maybe we can work on it week by week. You can be so inspirational Ang.

I, too, tend to spend too long on the computer when I should be doing something else, or at least sleeping. I could learn from your cleaning schedule...

Has it been 3 years?! 🤔

There’s way too much to catch up on i think?! I homeschooled Kupcake all last year with two amazing friends and their kids. DBall is a Sr at Har-Ber HS this year and is on the debate team and in Camerata choir. He makes amazing grades and it’s super bittersweet for me that he’s graduating next Spring. We just got back from Coleman Family Reunion in Bear Lake, UT. The week prior DBall went to EFY at BYU, while Kupcake and I spent the week with friends who now live in West Jordan. I was able to go to the Provo City Center Temple (w/Susie) and the Jordan River Temple. Bryson is still heat treating and is currently working and living in Ardmore, OK, M-F. Yay. My mom was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in March. She’s having a small reunion next weekend that the kids and I will drive out to. Bryson will drive down after work on Friday night.

This is not finished, but I haven't time to finish it just now. I do have more to say. please don't feel obligated to read this.

B was off yesterday because mail doesn't run on holidays (hallelujah, pass the gravy!) and he did spend some time watching the olympics. I really wish I enjoyed the olympics more than I do, but I do not. Sometimes I can sit there and watch the snowboarders or speed skaters or whatever, but I definitely don't get all excited about it and set aside time in my day for the olympics. In addition to that though, B also put the Christmas boxes back up in the attic (can I get another HALLELUJAH!!!) and finished removing the wallpaper from the master bathroom walls. I somehow did not realize that I couldn't just go in there and paint it now. First it has to be textured, and then primed. Oh, the tediousness of it all. I just want it painted already!! I am *SO* convinced it's going to look less flaming pink once the walls are a more neutral color. Today I took DBall, Cman and Bman to see Big River at the Rogers Little Theater. I almost didn't go- because I didn't ...
