two days in a row!!!

I was on here looking for a medieval baron for Mason and decided I better post while using the computer.

It was a typical dreary October day. You aren't missing much Windi and Laurie. It drizzeled all day and even rain pretty good for awhile. It did wonders for my hair.

I have been working out before gettign ready for work the last 2 days and I feel really good all day. I feel as though I am standing taller and walking with a spring in my step. Amazing how exercise can do that to a person.

We (Joe) bought the Wii for the family and he bought the WiiFit to go with it. Who would have thought that playing a video game could make you actually sweat. It's fun to compete with the kids and see who can knock the leader out of the #1 spot.

My MIL got back from her 3 week vacation with her brother and sisters. She was contemplating on not going because of her "health issues" of late. The doctor told her there was no physical reason not to go. Turns out she was the healthiest of the 3 girls (and she's the oldest)

She told Joe that she had so much energy on their trip and she ate way too much food. Surprising how eating food can give you energy. I have been trying to tell her that for months now. I am trying to convince her that she should get some of those Healthy Choice frozen dinners or the Lean Cuisine dinners. That way she can keep her sodium intake down and still have tasty meals. No one likes to cook for one so she lives on oatmeal, vegetables and fruit. I think she's starting to realize what I've been trying to tell her.

Joe has been off work for the last 2 days. He decided he needed a vacation. He will be home all week while I am at work and the kids are at school. That's ok with me, he fixed dinner tonight before I got home! He has also installed a new toilet in the bathroom. It's kinda funny because when we purchased it, he wanted a taller toilet so we got a taller toilet. Little did we realize how TALL. It is handicap height. If you have to pee too long, your feet fall asleep. I asked for a step stool to use the stool. He says we'll get used to it and we will, it's just kind of funny, I feel like we should put up handrails also.

Well, my time is up, I have a child that still is trying to finish homework because dad said he could play with his friend on the internet instead of doing his homeowrk. Why don't dads follow the rules? UGH!

Blessing to all!!

Yeah! Good for you for working out, it really can change your whole outlook on the day. We have contemplated getting a WII. I just can't imagine it being a peaceful thing in our home. Cute pic of the kids by the way. Keep the posts coming!
