The Week's Review....

Another week has come and leaving quickly! The weekend was beautiful and we spent lots of time in the sunshine and warm air playing with the dogs and doing some much needed yard clean up from the bitter winter, that I hope is gone! It seems like it has been a very busy week with something needing attention everyday.....

We did work in a swim Monday night and the water felt great...however showering and getting dressed in the FREEZING locker room, NOT SO GREAT.

Tuesday we got to see the baby AGAIN :) "It" (for now) was moving and waving happily at us! Everything looked good and fingers crossed and prayers requested my blood work is the same way. We have decided (pretty much I decided) that we will be going to Watch Me Grow on Friday, the 18th to find out what the baby is...mostly because I can't wait much longer nor do I want the child to have a complex if its a girl because Brooks and Bryson only call it a he! Very excited to see what our family will be completed with...although I want a girl, if its a boy then that means that I get to have another mommy's boy and that will be just fine too. Its becoming obvious in my small size shirts that I am in need of a bigger size SOON! BUT thankfully I have only gained 3 pounds and I couldn't be more happier with that.

Wednesday was just Wednesday nothing big or exciting other than cleaning out the basement.

Today work went well and I did a couple of  miles on the treadmill at the Y.

I am looking forward to the weekend and hopefully sleeping in just a little bit...I haven't rested well the past few nights and I am hoping that I can sleep peacefully soon and not feel so drained by 10am. Hope you have had a fun week and plan on having a good weekend! Be safe and ENJOY the Super Bowl! Love you, 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...
