just a few thoughts

I just have been a little busy and on the go and not enough time of I feel I do not have enough time to blog. I have been getting ready for out trip too. We are headed to Nebraska for Thanksgiving to see my family and all. Will be the last time my brother will be out there living as they are moving to arizona around Christmas. My other brother I will not see but he is in Texas. It will be good to see the rest and to really see how my dad is doing. He sounds good and says for the most part he is doing good so that is good to hear. We are going to have a baby shower for my sister who is expecting twins while i am there so I need to figure out what I am getting her. She has 2 daughters who are twins but they are 11 so she got rid of all the things as she thought she would not have any more kids. Surprise!!!

Bens dad is not doing good so you get torn as to what to do. He is in the hospital right now and you worry he is not going to be around for too much longer. You just pray that he will get better.

I also went to a weight watchers training and I was able to see all the new things weight watchers is coming out with December 7 and have to say I like how weight watchers is thinking and all that so it is fun to work for weight watchers and to see first hand before everyone else what is going to be happening in the near future.

Have a great day and will try to blog a few more times before we leave

more fall pictures

Since i LOVE FALL I thought I would show a few more pictures of what we took the other day. I love how fall is and the colors it brings out. If i could have fall more I would. I love the weather how it is not too hot and too cold and the colors and the smells of fall. I just have more fun in the fall so i really enjoy it.

we voted

It was kind of fun being the first time we all could vote. Michelle this year is 19 so could vote. she has participated in mock elections and all but this is the first time she could do it for real. Hard to believe your kids grow up that fast. Wish they could stay small just a bit longer.

Election

Just wanted to say that I think that it is our duty to go out and vote. I know I for one am tired of the presidential back slinging of things but I do know that we should all go and do our duty and vote and then be proud of who we voted for and not because someone thought we should vote for a certain person but who we think the best man would be. There is so much talk on things but just do what your heart tells you. We also have some local election things so need to go do that too. Have fun everyone watching the elections on TV at times i go to bed and check in the morning what the results were as I do not think it worth losing some sleep over.

pumpkin fun

Here are some pumkin pictures we took of the girls and Ben carving pumpkins
i was the photographer so that is what i did and that worked out for me. Michelle
is now making roasted pumpkin seeds as she loves them but only the ones you roast
yourself as she said the others do not taste too good.
The girls are having a halloween party friday so will post more pictures from that too.
I will try to get back into blogging seems I have been busy and just not motivated to
do it but i do enjoy doing it so will try to get back into it. These pictures are not really how
I want them on there but dont want to mess with them at the moment and you get the picture
of what i want shown.

just some thoughts and other things

I have been surfing for things to cut and found this and wanted to share this.

Body Measures – dress size, waist, hips, neck, arms, fitting into favorite clothes

Performance – more endurance during exercise, doing them at a higher level, jumping higher, walking longer, running faster, playing a sport better

General Feeling – rate energy level, rate attitude and outlook, track how often you feel very sleepy during the day, rate your confidence level

Health – blood pressure, cholesterol level, blood sugar level

Intangibles – how you look, compliments you receive, how others respond to you


just also wanted to put on here how at times you are going through life just all good and content and then something happens and you have to look and see why those things happen. My dad has been in the hospital out of the hospital and then had a biopsy and the test for that came back cancerous. What does this all mean i am not so sure as he does not have the full report yet. In the meantime I have been calling him more to see how he is doing and we have had some talks about both of our health. I am doing so much better since losing the weight but there are things that are just hereditary that may be out of my control so we have discussed those and he wants me to keep an eye on those things. Maybe this trial was a way to wake me up to talk more with my dad and to let him know how much he means to me or to see what may be in the future for me. I do not know but I do know that I can not go back to how i was. seems lately that stress is calling my name and i been eating a few things not so good so that was what the things above were meant for for me to really look at them and to make sure i keep going and not go backwards.

I also put this on here so i could let it out and not have to answer to anyone but to me. I do not know a lot about this yet and so telling people and having to talk to them right now is too hard for me even if they got all the cancer out it still worries me a bit. I always worry though when it comes to my parents and their health so nothing really new really.
