Monday can be my funday
Today is Monday. Sloan had joyschool. He stayed after joyschool for a play date with his girlfriend Marley. just kidding, she's not his girlfriend, but for some reason since we've moved to Kelowna all Sloan's friends have been girls. That's just what he has. And he likes them. So what can I do? Certainly not complain.
In case you didn't realize, that meant I had the whole day to myself. Woah. It started out with me getting up at 6:30. At this point I didn't have the day to myself. I went outside in the dark and cold and ran hill sprints up my street. After the recovery from that, I got adriel fed and took him to school. After I dropped Sloan off I went to the dollar store to stalk up on things for our minute to win it Halloween tri ward joint youth activity. We are in charge. I'm spear heading it, and I'm enjoying it. It's gonna be good times. You know, I'm actually a cool fun youth leader, just like I always wanted to be. Who knew I could be? I happen to like teenage girls quite a bit. Then I came home and I basked in the quietness. watched some tv with Mart. Then time to get Adriel. We had some mommy adriel time and then I decided I better clean the house so it didn't look like I was a total lazy butt when I actually had time to accomplish something.
Tonight we carved our pumpkins for Halloween. I feel like being something this year, since we are in charge of the halloween party and all that jazz. But now it's so last minute that I don't know what to be. I was thinking catwoman since it's fairly easy- black leggings, black boots, black top...I just need to figure out eye masky thing and some ears.

There was no school today. I love those days. It means lazier more relaxed mornings. It means someone for Sloan to play with and I like it.
I went to this mother's learning circle thing last night. Every month there is an article that you read, and then it's discussed at the meeting. It was my first time going. The article was really really good. It was about how you are led by three things, your body, your mind and your heart, and how to have a healthy balance. It was very inspiring. The meet was really long. It went on for three hours. Some of the women are really long winded. I was sort of shy and didn't have a whole lot of perspective to share. I wasn't about to fight for the opportunity to talk, and that's basically what i would have had to do if I wanted to say something because someone was always talking. Martha came too.
I'm debating coloring my hair red. here
and here are my inspiration.

I'm Back
I've been lazy. I've let my life take control of me, if that makes any sense. Its like it has swallowed me up and it's all I can do to just get the bare minimum done. It may have started when Kyle left, I'm not sure. Maybe it was already happening before that, and him leaving for four months is what pushed me over the edge. Survival mode. Well I'm done with that. I want control back. I want back into the blog world. I want to govern my life.
There are so many ways that I need to grow and improve. Why does change have to be so challenging? Why does it have to feel so impossible?
Being a mother can feel really scary sometimes. I am in charge of shaping these boys. Every thing I do from the way I talk and react teaches them, and shows them things. I am so far from perfect, I can't help but worry about all the things I'm doing to damage them and wreck them. I want them to be great, and I want them to be happy, and good. So much love and yet so much imperfection!!
I don't like coming across as the scatterbrained, leave everything to the last minute, fly by the seat of my pants kind of person.
So, my goal is to take some time out of each day to write a little something on my blog. Doesn't have too be long, or big, or a life update. Just something.
