Golds what?

I did it. I joined golds gym. I have now been a member of 24 hour fitness and curves at two different locations. What is my problem? Why can I not get motivation no matter where I work out? I'll tell you why. Day care my friend. I have a neighbor who is a member at Golds and he told me about a special they were running, so I went inside on a whim to see what all the fuss was about. To my astonishment, they had a day care and they take kids from 6 weeks to 12 years. What!! I can go work out for an hour and a half and my kids are right there in the same building! Amazement took over and I signed up on the dot. I'm not saying this is going to be my "cure all" But I sure am excited to go work out whenever I want. Plus, my kids get social interaction. Wish me luck........ Here we go!!!!!


Stay tuned for the before and after photos. I took a before but I'm not going to post until the after!

Time to ponder?

Well, I don't have anything new to post about. I don't even have any fun pictures. But If I'm going to be a real time blogger I must post. I wish I at least had some fun pictures to post. My computer crashed weeks ago and Chadder and I have yet to purchase a new one. I am sitting on Chad's laptop right now listening intently to hear if the children are awake or FINALLY dozing off. Gracie got to stay up a little late tonight because she had a pretty serious fall tonight and I had to make sure there was no concussion. Ahhhh... Time for a breather. This is one of my favorite times at night. I love to sit after a long day and listen to some Idol, and read up on my buddies. This last weekend my sissy and her kids came up to do a little wedding shopping. It was so much fun to spend time with them. It is a hectic time in our lives but such a fun time. There are struggles, and heaven knows there are some hard times, but oh man... the good times make up for it. Casey and I were cracking up at the kids just making so much noise and running around we were stressed but we wouldn't have had it any other way. I know, I know, I post all the time about how crazy things get and how stressed out I get, but really, I think I'm just one of those people who loves chaos. I'm glad too, because there is a lot of it!

Tender moments

Anyone who I talk to who is a parent always tells me "Candace, It's not always easy being a parent, but it is so worth it." I know this. I know that my kids will drive me crazy, but there are so many times when I look at them and think I'm so lucky. They are healthy. And they are here. A couple of days ago, I knew that we had a few days of sunshine ahead, so I thought I would blow a couple of dollars and go to the carwash. Gracie LOVES the carwash. I paid the money, and as we rolled into the carwash I looked in my rear view mirror and watched my kid's faces illuminate with excitement. The soap came, then the water, then the big big brushes. I sat and watched my kids the whole time thinking how innocent they are. How I wish I was more like them. I wish I could take a few breaths each day and get excited about all of the little things in my life. My eyes filled up with tears as I watched them laugh and smile at the big brushes. It's days like like those that keep me grounded. I love those two.
