Are my shoes “Sketchers”?

Ben came to me and asked: - Are my shoes “Sketchers”?

We talked about it. When Dan got home he talked even more – what Sketchers are, that they don't make more or less cool – where he heard that and all that stuff...
On my end I was just shocked to know that my 4 yr old already knows about “cool” shoes and things like that. Worst – or better, I'm not sure, he didn't learn that from friends at school; worst in the meaning that the influence is all over, our crazy society and it's “rules”; better, cause I was still debating the home schooling situation and after that I'll have one more “check mark” on my public school list, specially being in such a good school district like the one we are.

He learned about Sketchers with a family friend that we would of seen doing HS or not. So, there, it's every where and I guess my motives are not enough at this point for me to go through with it!

Yesterday

I walked for 45 minutes and got closer to 3 miles. with a very tinny little incline of 0.5 on the threadmill.

When I was leaving L & D showed up and I did more stuff with them:
3 lines* of lunges (lunges - is this sp right?) with 3#s weights
arms exercises with 5#s weights
2 or 3 more laps - walking) - it probably completed my 3 miles.
And played around doing abs and other stuff - but nothing that I believe I did enought to have any sort of effect - however - I believe it's from the lunges - today I CAN BARELY WALK!!!!! =oP

I wonder if I'll get to do anything today!

and for today

nada - on the workout part of it

HOWEVER - I did start multivitamins...
and I'm trying starting today a "POP FREE" diet!

wish me good luck! =)

Today I did

walk a little less then 2 miles in 25 minutes - (ran very little somewhere in the middle of all this)

mistaking

So – it’s funny the power of your words – this week I told my friend D that I wished I had a disease I saw on House that you tell people just whatever comes to your mind – and I so regret it now, as the best day I had last week I ruined by loosing a friend. l used the most mean words I could possibly use because I was really mad she didn’t do something I asked her to the way I expected before really finding out the reason why.
Not that the words I used shows what I really feel about her – I was just trying to hurt her – really – poor and straight out mean because I was angry. Of course I apologized but she still doesn’t want to be friends. I’m sure I would be feeling the same way. I’m trying so hard not to be judgmental 100% of the time with everyone and every situation (even knowing that it’s human’s nature) And I’m sure if I was on her shoes I probably would be VERY pissed off… however I can’t be mad at someone for too long – it would kill me inside. I’m ok with it. I asked for forgiveness and she choose not to be friends but God comforted my heart and made me in peace that I’m human and I make mistakes like the one that morning – a great morning when of no other reason I absolutely snapped. Now its look forward and work hard on patience and wisdom not do EVER do things without thinking. And waiting for another 2 new friends I’ll meet – I’m sure! Cause God never close a door without opening a window!

Weight

I went to weight myself today at home - before lunch, very light clothing

Talking about exercizing...

If you can not smile - go ahead!

Noah was at speech therapy - when his teacher make a face - eyes, mouth and hair...

Mrs. P asked: "Noah, is this daddy?"
Noah said: "No, this is me! Daddy has no hair, he takes his hair out everyday and puts on the trash..."

We all did

walk for about 3 miles - outside!
My husband and I both walked outside - the weather was great!
We each had a child on the stroller and I think it took us about 50 minutes!
