A Case of the Blahs!!!

A lazy cold spring saturday finds me feeling frustrated because there are things I should be doing but don't want to.  I got off to a real good start this am by exercising (I am so proud of myself for not missing once yet)  I have the Book of Mormon on a DVD so I can read and listen to the narration while I ride the eliptcal machine.  So I got 30 Min. of scripture study done and then I came upstairs, drank my nutrimeal and read two articles from the new Ensign we just got.  I showered,dressed, put in a load of laundry and left to run some errands and was home 20 minutes later and could care less about the errands and feel totally out of gas.  For one thing I CANNOT believe it is saturday already.  I just got through Easter Sunday!!!!!  I have stayed really busy this week working on Usana and educating myself to be able to work the business better.  When I got home today here was the second check for the month.  This really has potential and we are sitting on a Gold Mine but I can really appreciate people's hesitation an reluctance to even listen.  If they listen they can't help but see the vision. Bud's Dr. took him off three more meds this week.  There is no doubt it is having a positive effect on our health.  This morning Mollie ha me laughing my head off.  I was unloading the dishwasher and as usual she was right beside me.  Bud was out trimming the raspberry bushes when all of a sudden we both heard his jeep start up.  She put back her head and just howled like a baby and then ran downstairs to the door and barked her head off.  I called him and told him what had happened and of course he turned around and came back to get her.  He opened the door and she shot like  white tornado thru the garage and jumped up into his jeep ready to go.  He had been on his way to Mc Donalds to bring us home a breakfast burrito.  He likes to surprise me on sat ams.  I told him I didn't want one as I had just drank my nutrimeal but of course he brought one anyway and I cut a tiny piece off and gave him the rest.   Are you bored Yet???  I need to go fold a batch of laundry and decide what to fix to eat and probably should attempt the rest of the errands. Poor Kristen has really fond the perfect dog!!!!!!  Except it poops and pees (in the house)  I keep telling her to just give her time and she will get used to a new family and settle into a routine and I hope it works soon as she doesn't need any more stress in her life.  I wish I could get excited about spring and summer.  All I see is work!!!!  We did the pine needles raked up  and Bud had some Samoans come and cut down one of the trees by the hot tub this am and that will help!!  We want to get rid of the hot tub and use that space for a fire pit or just more patio space.  Someone out there please send me a dose of SPRING FEVER!!!

Here I come! Ready or not!!!

Spring!!!!!!!!  and I am not ready.  I am like a big old hibernating bear not ready to wake up yet!!  I look out the window and see dirty snow and a MOUNTAIN of pine needles that are waiting to be raked up and the window I am looking out of is dirty too.  If that is not enough I am hungry 24 hours a day and am craving something but don't know what.

I loved Jan. and Feb. and the snowy gray days and the books and the movies and watching The Planet Earth series and I am just not ready for it to end.  Okay that is enough complaining altho I do have other issues if you are interested (smile)  I had a bad night sat. and took 2 ambien and woke up sunday am not even remembering going to bed and lo and behold the little chest we bought for my computer and printer had the first coat of yellow paint on it.  So did my pj's and my hair!  I hope you girls are getting prepared for what is ahead.  Amy it was so good to have some one on one time with you.  Just too bad you had to feel so rotten and then I was rotten. (you know what i mean)  I wish we could all afford a real girl time out get away!  I am feeling really emotional about my kids for some reason.  Maybe that is part of the old bear waking up; she worries about her cubs.  I am still so new at this computer thing but I will take a picture of my chest when finished.  I think it will be cute.  It sure looked hideous Sun. am with only one coat and drips and runs everywhere.  I have the second coat on now and it looks like it will take a third.  It is such a cheap thing and soaks up the paint like a sponge.  It was turquios and Bud did his best to sand it but it still shows thru.  Tara and Lane will be here this weekend and then Tom and Kim and family are coming for Easter and the following week I am thinking about running away to Victor for a few days.  Aunt Kathy is determined to get me on skis (sp)  Then Bud and I leave for St George for his Athletic Directors Conference.  So here we go off and running and it will be fall before things quiet down again I am sure.  For now I am going back to my den and finish my book.  I am almost finished with the  "These Is My Words" trilogy and I have absolutely loved all three books.
