I don't know how people have time to blog anymore...if I sit down, my family thinks I must need something to do. Or that it means I want to hear a really long joke or story...maybe it's because I never sit down...and you would think I would be exaggerating..but I am not. I don't sit. I walk in circles and "pick up" the house all day and yes, I walk by Facebook and see what's up and I walk by my e-mail and see what's up...but the majority of the day I am walking in circles "picking up" people's "STUFF". I hate "STUFF". Hate..yes, that is an ugly word..but I do. I hate "stuff" I don't know what to do with it. I move it from here to there..sometimes the "there" is 3 inches from where I picked it up...

The last time I was on here I was like "CRAZY!" and I am proud to say that I did, in fact, start the next day. :P I know you have heard me say this before...but sometimes I think PMS doesn't exist and this is just my personality...LOL!!!! So when I am uncontrollably emotional and I do start, I am so happy! :)

Friday, July 1st...Alexandria and I painted the girls room, not the ceiling though...I need to paint the ceiling!
Anyway..we were up until after midnight..sooo tired....and I had to get up and teach (SUB) a class the next day...sooooo tired!!! and THEN!
Saturday , late afternoon...Sam, Mia, Zach, and I took off for Van Buren, AR to visit with my bestie and her children for 4th of July.... I got about 20 minutes from home and GASPED as I remembered SHE DOES NOT DRINK COFFEE!!!!!  lol....but I made it...there is a McD's around the corner....and they put the cream in the coffee for you??? I didn't know that! I was impressed! :)
I didn't get there until after 11 Saturday night and I was SOOOOO tired from being up the night before and then teaching a class and then driving 6 hours.....she was talking to me and I wanted to be a fabulous friend and stay up and visit...but my engine ran out of fuel, completely!
I slept in the next day..you all know I do NOT sleep in....I did.
Then I ran to Mc D's for my fuel.
I had told my friend that I would go to church with her ..I didn't want to for a minute but I knew I would be blessed if I did...and I was...it was a beautiful service....but we snuck out early...because I didn't want to put Zach in a completely new class knowing he would never go back and he was (He was REALLY great considering he is a 6 year old boy) getting  fidgety...honestly, I was too. :P
Back ay my friend's house...another friend came over.....we had a wonderful group of 4 friends when I lived in Fort Smith.....3 out of the 4 of us were together. :D My friend was the hostess with the mostess and grilled burgers and had hot dogs and it was awesome and delicious! There were 7 kids there and they all got along wonderful!
I showed them a couple of the new Zumba moves :) and then I cut the other friend's hair. I prayed that the haircut would turn out beautiful because I don't really know what I am doing. :P It turned out awesome! and she loooves it :) Then we all went and watched the fireworks and called it a night :)
4th of July...we were exhausted and all slept in again....we packed up and left
We went to visit Ava....It breaks my heart everytime I see her, how unhappy she is....I wish I lived there so I could visit her often.
I probably have not mentioned that we are not moving.
As I was painting the girls room...I knew how much we were going to need out of our house to move...and it's not that I don't have faith that God could do it....but the house across the street went up for sale by realtor...and was asking $15,000 less than we need and their house is in better condition than ours....yea, we aren't going anywhere for a while. but it's okay....I felt very peaceful when the reality hit me. I am glad it lit a fire under our butts to get some stuff done around here....
but now our house in in complete disarray.Two bathrooms pretty much out of commission and the little girls still don't have a bedroom...their beds are leaning against a wall in Zach and Siler's room.

So I got back from Fort Smith around 9 on the 4th of July..Fireworks galore...and we all needed to tinkle really bad....and because I had taken Mike's car, with his spare key...I did not have a key to the house and we were locked out. AAAUUUGH!!! We went to the nearby grocery store....to use the restrooms....and theplace was EMPTY! Three cashiers waiting to serve and NO ONE in the store....
I had spoke with my husband who was on his way home and would arrive in 45 minutes and I was like "OH YEA! We are grocery shopping!" It was awesome! I might make it 4th of July tradition :P lol
That was that...
So now I am home from a weekend away...I am glad I went, but it was last minute planning....because Mike didn't want to work on the house over the 4th of July weekend...and though I can understand that..it took money out of our budget that our house could use and I lost 3 days I could have completed a LOT...
so I am home and overwhelmed by the house and need to get lots of laundry done and prepare to leave in two days.
The next two days were a blur...I mean I remember them but, as if this isn't already a windy post...it would be loooooong to tell...
So! Thursday morning..I am up at 3am..showering and getting ready to leave for Orlando....got to the airport at 5am..it was CROWDED!!!!!
There was a lady with a Zumba shirt so I say "hello" Her husband was with her...I said "How nice your husband gets to go!" and she says "He's not going..I am just terrified of flying and he is walking me as far as I can go" so I said, with my huge cheery smile "Oh girl! I've got you :) C'Mon with me!" and she did....and we made it through the flight...and there were times I was scared..(not a fan of flying myself) but I just smiled at her and assured her all was well...while inside I am praying "God, please, you know how many children I have at home that I want to finish raising..not that I won't want to see you in Heaven, but not right now, please God? Get us there and home safe?" :):):) well, He did!!! Prayers answered. YAY! :) :) :) ;p

I went to Convention for 4 days and there is so much to say about it that I don't even want to start. I will say that I learned "some" but for the cost...I won't say it wasn't worth it...because what I learned can't be taken from me....
I will say, I look forward to putting what I learned into action. :)

Then I get home..and I have had something bothering me in my foot for a couple weeks..but I have been ignoring it...well, yesterday it started bothering me enough I called a foot doctor and cancelled my "at home" classes and  tried to get subs for my club classes...Succeeded on one but not the other...which is todays...this morning in 2 hours actually....I haven't taught a class in almost 2 weeks..I should probably get off here and listen to my playlist to see if I remember it :P

If any of you have been Zumbaing on carpet...they have carpet gliders you can put over your tennis shoes..you would have to GOOGLE them.

Joyce Meyer was SOOOOOOOO awesome today! EXACTLY what I needed to hear..Thank you Jesus! If I would not have heard it, this post would have been 3 hours longer and quite a rant...but God is awesome and loves me and corrects me as a good parent should.:D

The day before I left for Florida, I scheduled my "girl doctor appt" and the day I got back I scheduled my foot dr appt. and they are the same day this Thursday..fun day, yes? :P

This probably isn't as popcorn long as I thought it would be but I think I have you all caught up :)

This Saturday is my 20 year reunion formal dinner and I have no idea what to wear. :/ I need shoes...I need my foot to not hurt or it won't matter how well I am dressed if I come limping in :P LOL

I love you. I hope you are having a peaceful day....painless and peaceful....and full of Hope :)
