Random 5

By


1. Do you know when you have won a battle? ... when your accuser has nothing left to do but hurl absolute lies at you (in open court and on the record, no less), and both you and they know they are 100% false. It's disgusting, a little sad, and a tad bit humorous.

2. Always remember when your accuser is hurling those insults at you, it's because his or her life is so miserable that he or she needs you to feel just as badly. If you remember that, then you don't.

3. Running is going great! On Wednesday my Couch to 5K program had me walking 5 minutes, running 8, walking 5, running 8, walking 5. My app messed up so I walked 10 first. Then it messed up again so I ran 9.5 straight. I walked 5. Then I ran my next 8. But, at the end of the 8 I felt so good that I kept running (felt a little like Forrest Gump) and went ahead and ran another 8. That was 16 minutes straight, and I could have run more with ease! I was on a high. I don't run fast but I have really built up my stamina. I am excited for the 5K that is on May 2nd. Maybe I'll be able to run the whole thing?? OOOOHHHH and last night I registered for a 5K at the end of August called the WIPEOUT Run. I get to run on the Big Balls and tackle other obstacles from the Wipeout course. I am so excited!!!!

4. Going to gather the family together tonight for a movie night. I think we'll watch Interstellar on Amazon Instant (love that service!). We are all watching what we are eating and working out hard so that we have amazing beach bodies for our vacation in May, so I need to fix us something light for dinner. Hmmmmm .... any suggestions?

5. Life is good. Life is really good. I am looking forward to spending Easter with my family. You can love Jesus and the Easter Bunny both. And we do. Praise to our Savior with a little fun and chocolate on top!

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

By
Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
