What I am reading.

I am reading a new book "Life's Greatest Lessons" by Hal Urban. I am only on the second one and I already can tell you this is a GREAT book! Everyone should own one. Today I read a quote that he used in his classroom as a high school teacher. It hit home and thought I would share it with everyone.

The good news is that the best season of your life can be ahead of you no matter what your age or circumstances-If you choose to make it so-Because 90% of your potential is not only untapped and unused, but also undiscovered. That's not just good news, it's incredible news! -Tim Hansel

Debbie Downer Day

I don't know where this saying came from but today is DDD. Debbie Downer Day!

I HATE TOYS. My kids have to many toys my hubby has to many toys I wish I could say I have to many toys but I really don't have any.

I WISH MY PARENTS WOULD HAVE TAUGHT ME BETTER LIFE SKILLS. ie cleaning and organizing skills. I guess I shouldn't expect someone that has none them selves to teach there children.

My goal is to learn some so my kids have them.

I HATE DEPRESSION. When I need the most uplift is when it always creeps back into my life dam it! Will it ever go away. Nope I think that is a long lost dream.

Down fall: They do not have our local area code. So I picked a Chicago code. You can change you number once they add you local code for free. You can do it once after the one time they will charge you for changing the number. Who can pass it up and most people have fee long distance and if they don't they can call my cell. If everyone did we would all have fee long distance. Yeah!!! Click here and find it all out!!!!

Weight update

Okay so my last update I was 183. Oh how I wish I could say I am still at 183 but slacking and not watching what goes in my mouth has made me creep back to 193 wow 10lb. Well at least I didn't let it all come back before I nip it in the butt. So here I am again. WW back on and I am taking Alli with it. I am hoping that it will make me more aware of when I do eat bad. See on WW you can eat what ever you want just in moderation. Alli you CAN NOT eat what ever you want unless you want to sit on the potty all the time. So we will see. Tuesdays will be my weigh in day going forward. Cross your fingers that I don't fall off the wagon again. I tell you food is the worst drug out there. No matter what you can not live with out it and living in peace with it is harder then anyone unless you know where I am coming from can imagine.

Happy Earth Day!

Answers to my questions.

What are you doing for earth day??? 

We didn't do much just sat around the homestead.

What have you done in the passed year to help change the earths atmosphere?

• Let see I have been recycleing but this year I have been trying to do more then just paper.
  
• We planted 3 trees
  
• We installed a tankless water heater. Helped the pocket book to. 
  
• We resided our home
  
• Got new windows 
  

We already do alot in our house and every year we try to do more not only to help mother nature but also what we do will help our pocket book.

Ok the last 2 BIG ones we did this year

• My hubby volunteered to put the new solar panels up at Merriville's Police Station/Town hall.
  
• I traded my Ultra low emissions Honda Civic for a 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid!!! Gotta Love the Avg 45 miles per gallon.

 

What are plans to do this year to help the earth?

I know we are planning on planting more trees but, I am not sure what else yet. Time will tell.
