I'm BACK!!!

First off, is that I'm back to working on my blog.  I haven't done a very good job posting on it this year but I'm blaming that on another blogger that posted that she was quiting her blog (I have know idea what blog this came from anymore as I read it and moved on.)  The reason being was that she didn't feel like she was living in the moment because she was always thinking about what she was going to blog about next, which is so TRUE.  While working on something either in the home or at a kids event or where ever we are, I'm constantly thinking about what I should blog about next.  So I made the choice to take the summer off, for the most part along with the first part of the year as I've only made 20 postings so far this year.  But whose counting, I guess I am.  Maybe you don't care but I do and I love blogging.  I'm hoping I can get my act together and share my thoughts and feelings on my many JOYS and JUNK that I have in my life.  Thanks again for coming back to my blog and checking things out.  I'm working on an exercise post next, so stay tuned.

Busy Times!

School has started back 

up for my kiddos and I'm back to work after enjoying the summer with my kids.  Summer was very relaxing, now the schedule is getting busy again with every ones after school Fall activities.  My point is that's why I haven't been posting much on my blog.  It's because of my Many Joys! that are keeping me busy, running them here and there and everywhere.  Hopefully I'll get something written up soon.  I have lots of posts in the works just need to finish them up.  

Now that I'm back to work for the school year I can't stay up until midnight, need to get to bed at a decent time so I'm not dragging all day.  I did just get done reading a couple books and I'm on a smoothie kick so watch for those post coming soon!

With the kids all back to school during the day you would think I could get more done.  But the days seem to fly by on me and the lists grow and grow.  I'm very involved in my kids school PTA, along with being a Religious Ed teacher once a week and planing for that and all the household duties that come along and taking care of my children.  There are many balls to juggle and life gets crazy!  I just need to keep telling myself to focus and do one thing at a time.  It will all get done when it gets done!

Busy time of year!

Wow, sorry it's been so long, since I've posted anything.  I did a Love to Read the other day but also have several other post in the works, maybe this will get a fire burning under my bootie and I'll get them done.  

Here's what's to come:

• Teacher/Staff Appreciation week or We Love our Teachers & Staff!
• 2013-14 Team News Bulletin Boards - JOY of Scrappin'
• 5th Grade End of Year Activities
• Pineapple Pie - DELISH!
• Orange Jell-O Salad/Dessert - YUMMY!

Then to top it off, throw in traveling back home three times for the following:

Easter

Mother's Day & a graduation

and a wedding in June.  

Plus, getting another spring head cold (I'm so congested I can barely breathe, UGH).  I'm SICK and tired of this crappy weather we are having.  I'm ready for Spring to stay or just bring on the Summer heat, but no more COLD!

To be continued with the above 

posts coming soon!

Added Bonus ~ Motivation!

An added bonus would be, through sharing my Joys & Junk, it will give you motivation to try some of these things that I have done. 

• For instance plan a school party for your child's class under Many Joys!

                                                     

• Get up and move more, train for mini triathlon, push yourself when working out, the possibilities are endless under Joys  of  Exercise!

                                       

• Check out a new author you haven't read before or pick up an oldie but goodie that you Love to READ!                

                                                                         

• Go through some of your Joyous Junk!

                                           

• Start scrapbooking your memories online or on paper.   Making some crafts after viewing some of my Joy of Scrappin'/Crafts that I've done! 

                                         

Enjoy!                      

Go for it!

When I decide to do something I go for it.  I've thought about blogging before and wasn't for sure where to start.  Today I decided I was going to do it and can't seem to stop.  I was with a friend of mine today and her kids along with my kids (total of 7 kids, just had to point that out).  I mentioned making a blog and she said, "That her daughter has a blog."  All I could think was if she can do it, then I can do it too!   I keep coming up with ideas of things to add and what I want to accomplish on my blog.  I like the JOYS and JUNK concept.  I love to read which is a Joy to me, I also like to exercise which is a Joy to me as well, so that's a new page I'm going to add very shortly.  Hope you all enjoy it!
