bad

I am having a bad day.
I hate cancer. I wish it had never invaded my sons body and our lives.
It's just not fair. I am pissed off. Elijah isn't feeling well and some of his labs came
back a bit higher than last month so they are scanning him on Wednesday. I have a bad feeling
but I always have a bad feeling, so that's not saying much.

About Time!

I am finally starting to feel better. My headache isn't constant anymore and the yuck feeling in my stomach is only every once in a while during the day instead of all the time.
Last night we decided to clean out the garage and have ourselves a good ole yard sale this morning. We really got rid of a lot of stuff!! What we didn't sell, Britt loaded up in the truck and took to Goodwill. Our garage, that was fully lined with plastic bins, is now nice and clean.. One more step on our way to organization! Now that the garage is cleaned up, we will move on to the house tomorrow and get some more stuff organized here. Tomorrow we tackle the beast that is our laundry.. YIPES!
We have a new addition to the Talley house. His name is Baden and he is a smooth fox terrier. I think this one is actually here to stay. We wanted a small dog that Elijah could play with and got little Peanut from my grandmother.. Peanut didn't want to do anything but tear stuff up, growl at everyone but me, and follow me around everywhere I went. NOT what we wanted in a dog. I was worried he was going to snap at Elijah. He really needed to be a one person dog so we found Peanut a new home. Two weeks ago we were coming home and found a little dog running down shackleford - we brought her home to try and find her parents. No such luck. CARE took her into their foster program to find a new home for her. Last week my sisters boyfriend called and said that his mom had a dog that we needed to come and meet. Well, we did and we fell in love with him so we brought him home. He is a smooth fox terrier and is smart as can be - a bit stubborn, but still a sweet heart. He LOVES to play with his ball.. Tinkerbell doesn't much care for him, but he doesn't mess with her too much.
Riverfest is next weekend. I am not prepared. The yard sale today wore me out so I can only imagine how I will feel after being outside at the festival for three days. I was determined that I would lose some weight and be in better shape before this years festival, but it didn't happen - again. Someday soon.. Now that I am feeling better we can get back in to the gym. When Hannah is gone to her dads during the summer it will be easier for us to eat better - Elijah will eat good stuff like salmon, tilapia, and grilled chicken all the time.. (That's my excuse right now - Hannah is picky so I eat garbage ALL DAY LONG! HA!) I did find all my weight watchers books in the garage yesterday. I really think that's the easiest program when you have kids and a family. It makes it easier to plan meals that everyone can eat.
Well, I guess I haven't written in so long, I had a lot to say.. :)
prayers for tomorrow: health for my kids, a good nights sleep, and motivation to get the house put together tomorrow..

Excuses, excuses..

I wish I could say that I have been studying for my final on Friday and that's why I haven't updated my blog, but that wouldn't be true. :) I should be studying - but I haven't been. I will study tonight.
things are going okay. I have had a near constant headache for about two weeks now. It's driving me nuts. I called Dr. Abel and will go in next week if it hasn't subsided by then. I am wondering if it's not insulin related... hhmmmm... Our class at church is about to wind down. I have to say that I will miss it though. It's kind of crazy that everything seems to be stopping at the same time. Church, soccer, and school for me all quit within the same week. I am sure something else will come along to take the place of all the activities, but I am ready for things to quiet down a bit.. i say that but I know in the back of my head that Riverfest is just around the corner and there is NOTHING quiet about Riverfest for the Talley family. :)
I think one of my goals for the summer, other than my plot for organization, (S, my purse is clean and I cleaned out my car today too... YAY!) is to read more. I love to read and haven't had much of a chance to do it lately.
I think tanning beds are horrible for you, but I really want to tan before riverfest so my legs are not glowing white. It's bad enough that they are big - they don't need to be glaring as well.. I have gone the past couple of years and done the mystic tan (yuck) but I don't want to mess with that this year. It's kind of yucky.i want to have a tan..
prayers for today: health and safety for my kids; my headache to go away; to find the owners of our newest furry houseguest.
PEACE

Late Night Rain

I am addicted to the show "Heroes". I have never watched it before but decided to watch the first episode online. wow! It's really cool!
It's raining. I like it when it's quiet and I can hear the rain. I think that's why I am still up... so I can hear the rain and just hang out in the quiet by myself for a bit.
I had my peer review for my comp class tonight. I got good responses on my paper. I have to finish it and be sure to include all my sources. I feel okay about it. I am almost sad for class to be over, but relieved too. I am tired of being really busy all the time and not having any down time.
I have been doing pretty good with my eating the past couple of days. Now if I can just get back in to the gym!
Prayers for today: health and safety for my kids. organization motivation for work tomorrow. and inspiration to finish my paper
