Starts to the Morning

3 Poor Ways to Start the Morning

1) With another cold.

The whole lowered immune system during pregnancy thing has certainly taken its toll on me with the cold weather. I think this is my 3rd cold in the past 2 months?

2) With spam.

Are there really this many people out there spamming blogs with their ridiculous comments? And that would be after clearing it out 2x yesterday.

3) Forgetting to say “Happy Birthday” to your husband right away because of your exhausted, stuffy-headed haze.

I love you, Peter! Happy, happy, happy birthday!

3 Great Ways to Start the Morning

1) A green monster with breakfast to get in essential nutrients.

We don’t have OJ. I can’t take a lot of other remedies. Greens it is!

2) Bible reading.

I don’t think there’s a better book out there.

3) A hot shower in preparation of a hot lunch date with the birthday boy.

I like it scalding. Added bonus? It helps clear out the congestion.

When Plans Go Awry

You can do everything right.

You can put on knee high socks in anticipation of the colder weather.

You can bargain with the kiddo to finally convince her to wear her winter hat.

You can give your husband his birthday present a few days early, so he has a nicer and warmer coat to wear.

You can leave early and stop by Kroger to purchase discounted tickets for a fun evening out as a family.

You can drive the 45 minutes to your destination, getting your toddler all psyched up for the mountain, Christmas lights, and a visit with Santa.

You can pull up to pay for parking…and be told that they will not open that evening due to the weather. Seriously? I have lived in GA my entire life and can relate to the exaggeration of cold, snowy weather, but I even thought that was ridiculous.

I guess God has bigger plans though and knows what is best. I ended up with the worst contractions I have had yet last night. A little over 34 weeks is too early. It was scary stuff. What can I say? Sometimes plans go awry.

For my post later this evening I will be typing up a response posed to me by a fitness gear company looking for bloggers to work with and help represent them in the 2011 year. The post is an “audition” of sorts, as only 10 bloggers will be chosen from the ones they contacted. I hope you will come back to comment and support the post to help me out. Thanks! 🙂

Question of the day = has weather ever ruined something you really looked forward to? What?

It’s kind of funny. I become a certified personal trainer and the first workouts I turn to this week come from someone else. The book came in for me at the library last week and, after flipping through it, I couldn’t wait to give the circuits a go. Making The Cut includes a lot of […]
