follow-up

In my last blog, I talked about giving up procrastination for lent.  I'm not sure how well I've done.  It's much harder than I had anticipated.  A lot of things happen in daily life that make it difficult.  Of course, it's all about powering through, I guess.  One thing that I haven't fallen on is the workout that I've started.  I'm in the fourth week of exercising, and it seems to be going well.  I haven't lost massive amounts of weight, but I'm starting to tone up.  My brother-in-law who gave me the workout said that it often takes him 3 weeks before he sees a difference.  I'm hoping to see changes soon.  I can lift more than I could when I initially started, and I feel so much better after I go.  It's the getting there that's the hard part.  I've had to force myself to go the past couple of days.  I really haven't felt like it because of sickness coming on, but I went anyway.  We're doing well in our challenge, too.  Our team has exercised the most minutes, and we've won one of the team challenges.  It's fun to be a part of the team.  Now, we're in it to win it, so we're trying to bump up the points.

My business is going well, but I haven't done as much as I should be.  I need to be calling more people daily.  I don't know why it's so difficult for me to do it.  I feel stupid for waiting so long once I finally do call someone.  I've got to do it.  It's just a matter of picking up the phone.

This morning was eventful.  My second grader has a box top challenge at school to see who can bring the most box tops between the second and third grades.  His class was just 60 away yesterday, and the challenge ended today.  Last night we called his grandmas to gather box tops and had to get up early enough to go by and get them before school.  We are not morning people, and the youngest son made it extremely difficult this morning.  He had more than just an attitude.  It was really frustrating.  We finally got out the door and picked up the box tops.  He ended up bringing 54 box tops.  I thought that was pretty good for just one person.  If a few other people brought some, they might have done it.  I'm anxious to find out.  It's so funny.  They're so excited over a popsicle party.  It's great that they're so excited over little things.

Speaking of being excited over little things...the hubby took the boys fishing this weekend.  They had such a great time.  It's the first time that my five year old has really done any fishing by himself.  He caught the biggest fish and was so proud of himself.  He comes home and says, "Well, congratulations to me because I caught the biggest fish."  I thought it was so funny.  He was very cute about it.  This was the first time that the older one did everything for himself.  He put the worm on the hook and took the fish off the hook when he caught them.  We're planning to go camping over spring break at the pond.  It seems more like a daddy and boys time.  Or maybe, I just don't want to camp out with the possibility of snakes being around.  Maybe I can go out for a little while and come home to sleep.  The pond is just a few miles away from the house.  The boys are excited about it, so it should be fun.
