My New SHERO, DARA TORRES

I am blown away by Dara Torres. She's 41 years old, and just won two silver medals in Beijing. She truly is an amazing woman. This is my new goal... to be healthy, strong, powerful and in top form by the time I'm forty. I have a little more than three years to get there. I am giving myself this long because I am the mother of six. I want to make my goals realistic so I am not setting myself for failure. That would be unfair. Small realistic goals here and there, and in three years, I know I will reach my personal body/fitness/health goals that I have set for myself.

I have made some changes in my life that have benefited me. In case you don't know, we have taken out all artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, hydrogenated oils and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP anywhere in our house for the past four months. I'm down to one cup of coffee, and I have stopped eating all meat. It's only been nine days, but I have dropped three pounds already. I've stopped drinking milk and have exchanged it for vanilla rice milk. I can't give up cheese just yet. Maybe in time... And I started drinking Mona Vie, (we call it POWER JUICE at my house) I feel different. I'm not sure if it's the juice, working out, not eating meat... or all three!

I feel like a different person. And looking at this picture below of Dara makes me want to make better choices for myself.I will be healthier. I will be stronger.

I will be a better version of me.

Out Of The Mouth of Z Man

"Z, I need you to read a page out of your book now"

"I don't want to!"

"Dude, if you want to watch Tom and Jerry, you need to do your homework"

"Mom, I'm already smart, I don't need to get any smarter!"

Yeah, he's five.

A Lesson

This is for any and all parents who resemble this... Lighten up, it's a GAME!

The Last Day!!

Today, is the last day of summer vacation. I am so darn excited! The kids will all be in bed by 7 tonight and then up by 6:00 a.m. Our schedule will be back to normal. I will only have the girls here, yes only TWO THREE YEAR OLDS! To say that is going to be easy sounds ridiculous I know, but they are so much easier than the boys were at three.

I get to go back to the gym! YES! I can't believe I am excited about that!!! But the girls LOVE the daycare there. I'm not sure why they love it, but I'm just going to be grateful that they do!

ONE MORE DAY, ONE MORE DAY, ONE MORE DAY!

That's Okay Mom

Little Miss S gets into everything. It's just plain stupid the messes she creates. We have a closet under the stairs that I keep all the games. I have to lock the door because she will open every single one of those darn boxes and pull out all the game pieces until she is satisfied with the mess she has created.

Well, LMS strikes again!

I opened the closet door to find her and at least eight games enjoying each others company!

I was complaining out loud saying, "I can't stand looking at this mess anymore!"

Funny Man I then said to me, "It's okay Mom, you'll get used to it!"

Yeah, I'm Cool

Yeah, I made pony tails on a My Little Pony. I'm so cool! At least the kids think so.

Ugh!

I just asked Miss M, "Why are you following me like a stalker?"

It made me laugh! But then again, I have a false sense that I'm funny!
