feeling: a little tired but doing okay
this morning i got up and went to swim. out of all the exercising i can do, the only thing that makes me feel like i'm actually getting anything out of it is swimming. so i found out a way and got a pass to the rec. now i just need to make myself get in the habit of it! i'm planning to go 3 times a week. hopefully someday i can go every day though! that would be great!
i love swimming because everything is tuned out. although i do wish i could get some music going, its nice to just tune completely out! i'm only left with my thoughts, and when i'm in the water i have an easier time shutting those down too. you don't hear anyone around you so its less distracting.
i love that first 50-75 yards (for me right now thats about as far as i can get!), when it just feels like you are flying through the water. nothings choppy, my muscles arent tired yet, and i feel like i could go forever! of course i cant... i get to 100 yards and my muscles are on fire! oohh how i wish i was still in shape like i was in high school! where's Post and his crazy workouts when i need him!?
so, we're still trying to sell our house. and we've now buried a statue of St. Joseph in our front yard, facing our house, under our "for sale" sign. i've gotten numerous snickers from people when i told them i was going to do this. mostly it was followed by the comment, "isn't that superstition?" to which i reply, "no, its faith!" we've been trying to sell for 2 years so any little bit will help! and i'm sure St. Joseph is thrilled about being buried in peoples yards upsidedown... so he MIGHT just take an extra look at our house now! :)
last night my Mom came over and helped me weed my flowers in the front yard. yes, they get overgrown.... and yes i dont realize it until its too late, and yes i dont go out as much as i should. but we cleared them all out! it actually looks a little bare! hehe! and Matt and i talked and we have a new plan for the front. re-planting some flowers, re-doing our rock area. hopefully it will cut down on weeds and make the front look a little nicer. Mom says before she leaves, "just make a big plan to move and re-do stuff and the house will sell!"
as for the rest of the days plans. Ethan will be spending the day at the Russell's house with his cousins and i will be sorting through my last weeks worth of notes and books! i also have to sit down and make some lists of what i want to do this year, what i have to do this year, and who i need to talk to about all of this! i sorta wish it wasn't August already... i feel like i always need more time to plan these church things! of course,... i've had all summer to get the start of the year planned... but it just goes by too darn quickly!
now, another load of laundry and getting my kiddo to clean up some toys!
he gives me the best smiles when hes 1-dirty or 2-holding something odd in front of him!
hes too funny when he sleeps! i thought having my suitcase still on the bed would deter him from going in there... apparently not.
