My Mom

Today is Mother's Day and I had to work all day, 16 hours to be exact. I am sad I missed it. This past year my Mom and I have become very close. We talk about everything together and she has become one of my best friends. I can't go an hour without talking to her. She's the first person I call when I'm bored. On the nights she goes to dinner with her friends or goes to church or when she eats lunch with her friends I am very bored and I get a little upset that she is not just a phone call away. She still fixes me lunch when I work and buys me dinner. I am just now realizing how lucky I am to have her in my life. She is one of the most important people in my children's life and they can't go more than one day without seeing her. I used to always think about moving out of Ardmore someday, just to experience new things, but now I realize this is where I belong. I don't know what I would do without my mom. It would be very hard to move away from her. I don't understand how anyone does it. She has always been there for me when I needed her. So, this is for you, Mom! Happy Mother's Day! I love you!

5 Things

5 Things everyone can do to have more energy. I did not copy this from anywhere. I'm just making it up as I go along. Basically I need more energy so I really am just writing this for my benefit, but you can try out some of my ideas as well! Here lately I have just been feeling...bleeeehh!....I don't know why. I just feel lazy and sleepy all the time, I'm not enjoying it. So here is what I'm going to do to try to change that.

1. Eat healthy and drink a lot of water. I have already quit drinking soda. (It's been almost a week now!)
2. Whenever I feel like taking a nap or laying down I will get up and do something. Like, wash dishes, fold laundry, exercise, etc.
3. Go for walks. The weather is nice and it usually doesn't stay this way for very long in southern Oklahoma. So, I should take advantage of it and go outside with my kids.
4. Make love often. Who can't benefit from that?
5. Meditate. This doesn't necessarily mean go in a quiet room and sit Indian style for a certain amount of time. It just means everyone everyday should take out time in their day to do something to clear their mind. It could be praying, or driving around listening to music, or tell your kids you need a minute alone in the bathroom to take some deep breaths. Whatever it is, just do it.
