A WHOLE MONTH!?!?!

Holy Moly Cow.
It's been a whole month since I've posted.
Gosh, time really does fly.

In the past month I've: thought about blogging, thought about putting together Caleb's 1st year scrapbook, thought about getting my hair cut, dreamt about getting a pedicure (I could have sworn "dreamt" was a word, but there's a red squiggly line underneath it suggesting I change it, but guess what, I'm not going to change it! So for all of you English/grammar loving people out there, I apologize if I wrote an incorrect word =) ) I think you get the point. I think about doing a lot of things but all that really gets done is the cooking, the cleaning...who am I kidding.....all that really gets done is keeping the children happy and entertained and clothed and clean (most of the time). Hey, I give my self huge credit for doing that!

So, now you know what I have (or haven't) been doing the last month. In other news, it's FALL!!!!!! MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's going to be 93 degrees today, but tomorrow it's only going to be 85 and it just gets cooler from there, HALLELUJAH!
I LOVE this time of year. I love changing leaves, the smell of the first rain, the football games, the fall decorations, the harvest festivals, pumpkins, the feeling that the holidays are right around the corner, and oh yeah, Halloween! 

Do you love this time of year as much as I do or am I weird? Do you do anything fun that I should know about? Cause I'd love to hear some fun ideas!

So, I'm back for the day, and hopefully I'll be back tomorrow, but you know....I've said that before and it didn't quite happen that way (which was sad, for me at least).

Have a GREAT day!

Motivate Me

I really really really like motivational quotes. Anything motivating at all is good with me. I've been working hard on losing weight (25 pounds gone, yeehaw!) and have decided that putting some motivational quotes on a post-it note would do wonders for my, well....motivation :)
While reading an article in Better Homes and Gardens titled "Working in Workouts" (which was of course followed by a few pages of ridiculous exercises done by a very in-shape-looking woman) there were a couple quotes that got me started and from there I decided to find some more:


Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

You're stronger than you think.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Instead of giving yourself reasons why you cant, give yourself reasons why you can.

Progress has little to do with speed but much to do with direction.

I love the last one, I'm not a very patient person and focusing more on the fact that I'm moving in the right direction instead of how fast I'm getting there is definitely something I need to do more often.....

What about you? Do you have any motivating quotes? Care to share?
Have a great Monday!!!
