So it's Wednesday!

Why is it that every time there is a holiday or it's a four day work week for some reason...the week takes 1500 times longer than a normal week??? It has been a crazy 2 days, but the week is almost over and then we can begin our whirlwind of no free weekends till March (YAY)!!! Things to do...makes me HAPPY!

So tomorrow is 12 weeks :) I am still struggling a little bit talking about it..because there is still a little fear there that something could happen...I wish my mind would settle and the thoughts would go away, but I guess everything will calm when the baby is here....although that seems like a LONG ways a way right now! So I am pondering a 5k this weekend...thoughts on this please!!!! I have been running (jogging) a little and I know that IF I decide to this that I will probably be last because I know that I don't want to push myself to the limit. I feel good when I am running, I just haven't gotten to 3 miles, so I wonder how well I would do. This is the run that I placed in last year at the beach, so I know the course, its flat and easy....I guess I just need to see how I feel.
 
We are going to the beach this weekend (thankfully)...need a little break from home and some shopping time with mom!!!! Hope you have lots of fun plans for the weekend!!!! Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for reading my thoughts!! Love and Hugs :) 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...
