The Challenge Of Life

Since I got up this morning to make sure everything was ready for my Husband to get ready for work, I could tell it was going to be one of those days. There was just something that I could feel in my mind and gut that told me today was going to be a challenge. But that's what life it about, right? Challenges. But I have to hold my head up high and do what I have to do to make it through. When I turned on the TV this morning for my daughter to watch cartoons before school, I noticed that the satellite was shut off. So we have no TV anymore. Just movies now. But maybe that is a blessing in disguise. Maybe that will help us to do more together as a family rather then sit on our butts watching the TV. Maybe we could play one of the many Monopoly games that we own. My Husband has a thing about collecting Monopoly games. So we have a few different versions of the game. I am to transfer about $50 into my brother-in-law's account so he can put gas in his pickup, even though we don't have much money left really either. And what we do have has to get my Husband back and forth to work till the 1st when he gets paid again. Plus we still have not been able to get anything for the girls for Christmas. But at the very least I picked up a little candy. So that way they can have something in their stockings at the very least. But then, as I said, it's just one of those challenges of life I guess. I just have to keep a positive mind. Remind myself that everything will be fine and work out in the end. Today will just be a good day to work on this house really hard and get a lot done. There won't be the distraction of TV to sidetrack me. I just need to keep from getting side tracked with this, the computer and internet. But I can do it! Keep positive, stay motivated, don't let the mind worry. Everything will work out in it's own way. All I need to do is keep myself happy and positive and that will help in keeping the family happy and positive. Wash dishes, vacuum, wash a load of clothes, sweep, figure out an idea for supper and then I should have time to work on my apron today even. I just need to wake up first. My 8mo old daughter was up off and on all night last night, so I didn't get a lot of sleep. Maybe I can get her down for a nap after I drop my other daughter off at school and do my workout DVD. That might wake me up. Besides I need to get back into doing that when everyone is at work. I am self conscious working out in from of other people, even my husband. I always have this thought in my head that they are judging me or are going to make fun of me. I don't like that. So I just do it when everyone else is at work and it's just me or me and the kids.
