**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

i am changed.....

  covid changed me, you read that right. that's when i changed. i changed my outlook, i changed our routines, i changed our home! i changed a lot of things because it changed me and somehow makes me see the tragedy that occurred in the state of NC last week differently. there is perhaps a little bit of aging in my outlook too, don't get me wrong, but i am forever a different person as the years pass. i am not the same as i was last year and i won't be the same next year, i am certain. but it's these types of life changing events that make you sit up and realize. it. could. all. be. gone. tomorrow. and if you don't realize that, search asheville, boone, saluda NC….they are proof. the things we get up everyday to do on our to do lists, they don't necessarily matter. yes, i am a firm believer in a purpose, when my feet hit the ground every morning i go through my to-do list in my head, BUT it could change any minute of any day and we have to know what is important ...

post 5 of 6-----vision board progress!

post 5 of 6 for my 2023 vision board... i'm a tad behind which really annoys my OCD. the week didn't go as i had intended and i ended up sick which is not a norm for me, so i have struggled to recover and accomplish things that should have already been accomplished.  in this post i wanted to share my progress on my 2023 vision board.  my word of the year was intentional-i absolutely feel like i lived up to this word. i have caught myself on many occasions seeing that word in the middle of my board and bringing me back to being intentional! i have tried to leave things better than i found them, i have lived in the moment and worked hard at making things intentional.  grounding-i have failed on this one....it has been harder than i thought it would be, but grounding is something that i feel like i can mentally carryover and continue to work on.  travel-in my book we have accomplished this. brooks and i traveled to mexico. we have made several little trips-snowboarding,...

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...
