Happy beautiful, wonderful Monday morning! It's a beautiful sunny day here in WV and the birds are singing like crazy!

I've been up since 6. Got the kids fed and off to school. Then I walked on my treadmill. I've upped my time by five minutes since last week and I've lost 6 pounds in two weeks! I've had 2 bottles of water already too! I feel SO much better since I started walking and watching what I eat! The depression has almost totally lifted and I just feel better all over!

I have 3 loads of laundry out on the line and another load washing. Later Dh and I might take a run down to a campground that we are thinking of going to on spring break to check it out.

I'm up, I'm up! LOL I'm taking a day off from work today, well my paying job! LOL I've already done 2 loads of laundry. I'm getting ready to leave to go get an oil change, drop some stuff off at Salvation Army and drop some books off to the library. Then I'm coming home to finish the laundry and finish sewing up a gift for a friend's birthday tomorrow!

Have a great sunshiney day all!

I am up but I dont want to be. Yds is at school. The cats are fed, their boxes are clean. The bed is made and the living room is straightened out.
I need to pop in my exercise dvd but I want to sit here. I also need to shower. I guess I am going slow on this Monday morning

You're making me think of my favorite get up and go song, "When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down) by Great Big Sea.

When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground

Keep up the good work!!! May not get your feet back on the ground for a good long while!

You've got way to much energy in the morning!

I need at least 3 more cups of coffee!

Kids are on spring break this week, so we slept in a little. Slept til 8, when DH called and said I had to go out garbage picking!

We've been looking for a new, larger rug on craiglist and so far haven't found anything. Well, if you remember, DH is a garbage man...and he called me this morning and said someone was tossing out their rug, and it was perfect. He said I had about 20 minutes until he got to it and would have to throw it in the truck. So I got the kids dressed and off we went. We got their in time and it is now on our living room floor! It's totally perfect and it was free!~ I'm just get ready to steam clean it!

So, I'm feeling a bit rushed this morning, since I was rousted out of bed and into motivation against my will!

Boy were they good. so I am just putsying around today.

I'm loving your cheerful attitude this morning! I'm in the same mood!

You are making me really want to get that treadmill I've been looking for . . . SOON!

My kids are on spring break here already, and ds-13 went to work in a soup kitchen today! I'm so proud of him!!

Good morning everyone. Let's see so far I'm sitting here with no lights on, no furnace or air on. I'm going to hang dry some more clothes, wash dishes (rinse in cold). I want to pull everything out of my cabinets and redo my stockpile inventory. I have so much from the Amish store I need to see what I can STOP buying. I'm not going anywhere today and my fiancee is driving the car to work because it uses less gas than the truck.

I have been busy already today...taking minute to breath, then I'll be right back at it again. Got the boys up and off to school, ran to the YMCA worked out, arranged for childcare programs now through then end of next school year, doctor's appointment, then I got home and got a call from the school, forgot to give my son his allergy medicine this morning, so I ran up to the school, now I am home, had to make a phone call, then I need to shower, then off to take a state board licensing exam, that's an hour drive away, the test is 3.5 hours long then I have to drive the hour back home, pick up my boys from my mother's house, then back home for showers and bed time....It's going to be a very long day!!!
