**Snow**Days** are making me NEGATIVE.

***The 1st 2 paragraphs were from yesterday...when I was a little more positive than today!

Well....well....the question is how long till this winter weather is gone and the state on NC can resume normalcy again??? No offense to the snow lovers out there...but it can't come soon enough. I am not really a fan of possibly using Spring Break the 2nd week of January nor am I for Saturday school, so sorry again but the sun shining and the temp above freezing tomorrow would make me much happier.

So what have we done today....well eat, eat and eat....therefore another reason I don't need to be sitting home. Of course we ventured out today because my husband is just like my father and driving in snowy conditions is like a sport for the both of them. First trip was to town for FOOD, of course, and also to see how bad the roads actually were. Then we made a trip to the Home Depot later this afternoon. I was able to accomplish a lot of planning for the Birthday party today and probably spent a little too much money on Ebay.

Today is Tuesday 1-11-11 and I am bored out of my mind. I hate to be negative, but I can't take this. The house is cleaned out from my over the weekend projects and there are only a couple of things that I can think left to do...considering we cleaned behind the couches and washed walls yesterday. I guess that I should be enjoying this time off, but I am really struggling at this point. This reaffirms that my job is very important to my sanity and everyone elses that is around me! Bryson is enjoying the day pulling out Christmas toys and wearing shorts and short sleeves (see even my kid is ready for summer). I can't stop thinking that my calendar at work is now 2 days behind and the chances of it being 3 days behind are pretty clear.

Okay I am done...I hope....I think.....I am going to get up and put on a happy face and be thankful that we have power, heat, food and meaningless TV shows to watch. I hope that you are enjoying your time and maybe tomorrow life can resume in Statesville and surrounding areas :) Be careful & enjoy the weather (if this is your favorite season)! Sincerely trying to be more upbeat, Alysha

My relationship with running....

Running has never been my friend, never been something I LONG to do....honestly it annoys me greatly...I saw a girl at a 5k with a shirt that said, "I hate running".....I laughed and thought how perfect that shirt would be for me! I registered for the Disney 1/2 marathon for January.....I saw several people running 1/2s and full marathons several months back and it gave me the urge to want to set that as a goal....I have only, EVER, run 5ks and I don't do those very well. I have learned through this running journey that when it comes to exercise I am mentally WEAK! I decided that if I was going to torture myself with one of the top 5 ranked goals of my life thus far....it was going to be in a place worth a celebration in the end....so I searched tropical locations and Disney....I soon learned races are way more pricey than local 5ks and if I was going to commit I wanted the kids to get some fun out of it too....so I pondered and waited until registration opened in April...

a coach’s wife.

 post #4 of #6 for the 2023 year.  this topic is going to be touchy, not well received-i am certain by some-and possibly controversial. thats your warning.... i make blog posts for an outlet, started 13 years ago as a healing outlet, lead to a sharing outlet, has dwindled over the years, but the purpose has ALWAYS been the same...an outlet.  i want to start this one with a few pieces of background knowledge 1-because i am not new to this rodeo and 2-because i have learned over the years and reflected on situations that lead me to believe i have decent knowledge of this topic .. i am mostly a soccer mom...also a tennis mom and a cheer mom, but mostly a soccer mom (no secret in that), but before i was that. i was AND still am a coach’s  wife. you see brooks has coached longer than we have been married. he has coached for 20 years.....20 STRAIGHT years....its not like here or there or a fill in, its not like a season a year, its like multiple seasons a year, multiple te...

How 20 minute chores save my sanity!

I have been needing a positive topic to blog about...so I decided since I have a little time today, I would share how I survive weekly by these little things called "20 minute chores".....I have posted before but its been awhile..... Monday: Dust the whole house! Tuesday: clean the bathrooms...wash sinks, scrub toilets, sweep and mop (my least favorite and hardest every week) Wednesday: fold and put away clean clothes that have been patiently waiting on the living room couch since Saturday and/or Sunday & make a grocery list because Thursday is grocery day! Plan the meals for the upcoming week....... Friday night-Thursday night...breakfast, lunch and dinner included! Thursday: ALWAYS grocery day.....cram it in wherever I can! Then sweep and mop the hardwoods and mop the kitchen.  Friday: Vacuum the whole house! Some Saturdays: wash sheets, do some laundry, fold and put away, and marvel in the fact that the rest of the house has been cleaned the week prior! S...
