it is time to stop pushing myself

Why do we set such high standards for ourselves? I do not know why. We are not God. We need to go through trials in life. It is what makes us stronger. I set high standards for myself,and it has to stop. I just had a huge meltdown at work, because of stressing so much on these standards. I need to focus on the things I have( Like a personal inventory). I have a loving husband , three wonderful kids , and a job that can work around a my schedule. I can get so focused on the things i do not have( kind of like being greedy) I forget what I have been blessed with.

I think we should still strive be be better as a person( there is always room for improvment) WE need to draw the fine line between what we can change and what we can not change. Anyone out there reading this, give me your thoughts?

It si Sunday September 20 and it is freezing outside. Yesterday, was 37 degrees celsius( that is 90 in USA). THat is what it is like up here in Swift Current SK.

I had to work Yesterday, it went super busy. My kids Are all out off sorts today, they have the sniffles and sore throats. It figgers, school is back on and the kids get sick. I fell awesome today, because I went toChurch . It is the first time in Months, in the last few months I have felt too sick to go. It feels so good to be back and all my kids went with me. My husband was doing a course all weekend so he did not come with us .

We all went to visit My Grandma in the nursing home. We usually see her every Sunday( Most of the time,but i wish it can be more). I just need to make time to do it, I do tend to make excuses of not to go(I know it is a bad way of thinking,but i am work in progress). Nursing Homes are not my favorite place. My dad was in one for a little while just before he died. it brings back alot of painful memories

Engoy the time with your family. Make everyday count. Do not let anger control you

Hot hot Hot

Good evening! I have been busy at work today ! It has been really hot this week. It actually was summer outside. We sure did nogt get much of a summer in July andAugust. Better late than never. Yesterday it was 37 degrees celsuis and today was 30. We are just not used to this heat.

I am really liking my My new work schedule. I sure like having two days of during the week. I am a Mom again. Working thirty hours a week makes me get caught up on things(like Housework) The best thing is my kids get to have their Mom back. My oldest one even said he likes me being at home more. This is surprising cause he usually does not want to have anything to do with me. I feel like i ahave more energy and not like a zombie most of the week. My kids get more Mom time.

I have cooking more recipes of Julia child. I am afraid to say that I am hooked. The food is so flavorful , the kids so far Have loved everything I have cooked so far. Hey, wait of minute that is a lie, the coleslaw recipe that I did was not good at all. But fear not, Iam not defeated, I am going to try it again and fix it ( that is what recipes are for right?) I reccommend any body to go out your confort zone and try new Cooking skills, it keeps things interesting.

well, everybody God bless and live each day to the fullest. If any moms are reading this take time for yourself. as Moms we are busy with everybody else, we get put on the back burner. Remember we are all what our kids have,and they need us to be looked after too. Good Night !

I love being a Mom Again

Being Julia child Agai

Today it is my Baby sisters birthday! I am going to try Julias Master Coleslaw recipe. I think I am getting addicted with her recipes. I found the movie inspiring. i have to do it in moderation, because I work in the weight loss industryand I work very hard at maintaining my weight. I know the recipes call for real butter and heavy cream, but i think that if I try to thin them down to make them sort of healthy.

Has anybody read " French Women Do not Get Fat"? The french people are around this food all the time. I do not think This kind of food will make you fat unless you over induldge yourself.

Well i better get going, I be back later to let you know how it turned out. How hard can it be?

it is fun being being Julia Child

I challenge everybody to do a Julia Child Project. I am reading the book Julie and Julia and I have also watched the movie. Ever since I watched it on tuesday I have been craving one of her meals( no I am not preggers). one recipe came to mind Beef and red wine sauce. On thursday I had the day off and I was dterminned to get the recipe. I went to Coles Bookstore to find her book "Masterinng the Art of French Cooking", but of course they were out, but I did not stop there. There happened to be a book about her french cooking techniques,and that recipe was in there, so i bought it and ordered the other cook book( It has 750 pages in it). After that was all done , I went to the Farmers Market and bought fresh veggies and went to the grocery store to get the rest of the ingredients. If you are familar with Julia at all, she cooks with wine, alot( well it is french cooking). I have never cooked with wine ever( I do not even drink it!)

I did it! I cooked the recipe! it took all afternoon, But I did it. It is supposed to take two and a half hours,but I was not used to cooking this way( It was actually a cooking lesson). My husband came frm work, he said when opened his van door he smelled the food instantly. I felt so awesome I did something Idid not do before, and it was so rewarding. Everbody (even my kids) loved it. The taste was heavenly!!!! Every body needs to cook with wine! I felt so good about myself, I cooked a lovely meal that my family all enjoyed( something that has not happened in a long time). I was was so busy with everything , it controlled me, and becuase of that it took away the simple pleasure of cooking for my family. My kids told me that missed my cooking! So people do not let todays trials control you. You will lose out on something special.

Weekend is gone

Hello, Everyone or nobody

I enjoyed my weekend camping, but the sleep was not great.
WE actually had a summer weekend , go figger. Camping is such a good mini holiday for me, it is so relaxing. All your worry is what to do and what to eat,and you do not have to run any kids anywhere. I had a day off yesterday, and enjoyed it. I cleaned, but I always think I can do more. I baked Healthy Breakfast cookies(yummy), and Banana bread.( these are diet worthy)
I had a blond moment yesterday. I strared to trim my little puppy, but I ran out of time becuase I had a date night planned with my good friend. My dog looks pretty funny right now because she is only have shaved. My brother inlaw said why did I bother, he said I should of just had somebody else do it. No, Why pay 40-50 dollars whenyou can do it your self, Right? So guess what I have to do tonight?

I had a good Date with my gal pal. We had dinner at a local restaurant, and watched the Movie "julie and Julia". I do reccommend you to see, but see it with a gal friend (I am sure the hubby would not enjoy it).

WEll one awesome thing is about this week is that it is a short week . I just work today and friday and have the weekend off.

who ever is readinge i am sorry about the mistakes because i have huge brain fog.

Have an awesome week and may you be blessed!

By for now

today is Friday and I cannot wait for the weekend, because we are going CAMPING. I am looking forward to Just relaxing by the fire and spending time with my kids. Speaking of my kids, My oldest is 14.5 and is an expert on everything. He has had three classes of welding and he thinks he knows it. Middle child is a old man trapped in a 13 yearolds body, his farvorite thing is talking and of course paintball. My youngest is A Diva, and she is a master organiser. It is pretty sad when you have to ask your 11 yearold child where things are or what is going on for the day.

My tip for everybody is to live in the now!
Stop the "should of " Could of" crap!
what is the Friggin Point?
you are just wasting sweet energy that can be hard to come by

WEll that is all for now folks. My life as a mother, daughter. sister might be just simple, but guess what it is Mine and you can't Have it! LOL
