4) todd got another knew boat...yeah....cause a man needs lots of boats?!?
5) wiskey myers one week (and i'm a whiskey kind of girl)

Move Over Richard Simmons...

OK OK.....So I did it...I've given in. I joined 'Fit Camp' at the local gym. For those of you that know me you'll know I have never been a fan of working out. I don't get that great adrenaline rush after working out that makes you feel good about yourself. I have HUGE boobs that bounce up and down like 4 1/2 inches everytime I jump. Last but not least I have no endurance OR upper body strength. I enter the gym with a bad attitude and I leave the gym with a worse attitude. BUT last night I went to a fit camp nutrition session filled with people just like me....and I had a revelation. My bad attitude about a healthy lifestyle is standing in the way of...me. I'm turning it around...I'm going to try this all new positive approach. I am not making any promises but...I'm gonna try! If all else fails I drink boxed wine!

So mainly I am writing this because I have had a really bad day. Crummy morning, crummy begining of the work day, crummy all around...
Today's Graces
1) my friend Lori
2) great weather
3) scheduled a hair appointment
4) knowing tomorrow is another 'Josh free day' (one day I'll explain)
5) leeann

So I'm jealous...of another girl's blog. Well, not actually completely jealous but ihategreenbeans.com is the most amazing blog I have read in a long time! Lincee, the girl that writes it, is a high school friend of my sister-in-law. Stacie, my sister in law, turned me on to Lincee's blog and I must admit, I'm addicted. Maybe one day I'll be that great...as of now, I only have three blog entries....maybe I should work on that!

I stole this from my friend Allison....

Today's Graces

1. Josh is suspended (maybe I can expound on that later)

2. I stuck to my healthy living eating goals

3. I bought some women's complete vitamins (target brand, fitness magazine recommends them)

4. I got to go to target

5. Carter didn't pee pee in his goodnight diaper last night...and that, my friend, is HUGE!

And those Graces are worth a great shot of tequila!

Testing...1, 2, 3

Working!

a bunch of nothing....

So this is my second blog. I'm at the end of my planning period. I spent the whole hour rummaging through my desk trying to find a quarter so I would stop jonesing for some caffeine (i can't believe i just spent two minutes trying to figure out how to spell caffeine). So I have my diet dr. pepper and I'm ready to head into the latter part of my day. I spend the second half of my day with non-verbal kids...so you can imagine how stimulating that can be!

Here are some things that have been going on in the mayes household
1) my dear friend allison took our family pictures
2) i finished cooper's application for the magnet school in longview
3) i located a quick and easy enchilada soup recipe on facebook (another guilty pleasure of mine)
