I haven't posted lately because my camera broke and since I am broke...I don't forsee a new one anytime soon. Especially with school coming up so fast and having to buy all the supplies and new clothes for the kids. So I guess fashion is out and you are just stuck with my wonderfully boring life! (After the drama of my last marriage...boring and secure sound heavenly!!)
I had a mucho relaxing weeking. Got to take Friday off and spend it with James since my mom had jury duty and my dad was tearing out their bedroom floor and closets (termites...hate those lil buggars!!) Why is it that on the one day off when I can sleep in I am up at 6:30 and can't go back to sleep. So I got alot of much needed cleaning done before James awoke. He is so snuggly in the mornings and as I was holding him he started singing,"Morning bells are ringing, ding, ding, dong." Then he looks at me with his devilish smile and says, "Mom, my morning bells are ringing", and he farts on me several times. I actually had to laugh...my morning bells are ringing. Where does this kid come up with this stuff? He must get that from his dad!!
Saturday, I went to a 30 and older singles conference at my church. I learned to line dance - The Electric Slide. Just in case you were wondering... no I didn't meet any elligible men, the single men who came were 50 and older but they were nice and we all had alot of fun.
I have been feeling the need to take some college classes and start working towards my degree again. But I am broke...broke on money and time. Geez, my day starts at 4:30 am and I usually try to get to sleep by 10 pm. I also feel guilty because I need to do more for others like visiting my grandma, donating to charities, and service projects. So my friend Virginia had me take this quiz about how I am spending my time. It was enlightening...I am going to share with you!!
Write down everything you did last week:
ate, slept, exercise-Jazzercise, listened to 2 books while working and driving, went to a singles conference, bore my testimony, planned upcoming Young Women's Activities, worked on Girl's Camp items needed, read scriptures, prayed, played with James and read him stories, gardening, got revelations, washed clothes, cleaned house and car, worked tried to overcome the natural man, had my testimony of Savior strenghtened from the help I received, repented, memorized a scripture, sang songs, vacuumed, did service, shopped, dwelt on being mad, visited with Grandma, emailed, looked at my favorite blogs, facebooked and went to church.
List 5 Lifetime Goals:
Temple Marriage, Becoming Charitable, Successful parent with children who have strong testimonies of Christ, Serve a Mission, be General Young Women's President.
List 5 Yearly Goals:
Go to temple every other month, work/learn how to make partaking of the sacrament a spiritual experience, budget better-curb my shopping habits, Lose weight, and work on being meek, humble and putting off the natural man.
Write down 5 things you would do if you had 6 months to live (sort of like a bucket list):
Go to the Temple weekly, Make a Dvd for my kids professing my love, family history work, write my life history, and spend every minute with my children and family.
Write down what you would do if you were going to meet Christ in person in 30 minutes:
I would pray that I could look up and see him smile at me.
Last Challenge:
Now take all the things you did last week and see how they promote your lifetime goals, yearly goals, and how they affect your life if you had 6 months to live and if you had 30 minutes before you met Jesus. This activity will help to weed out the non priority activities in our lives.
