It's been a while since I have blogged... Not a whole lot of interesting things happen at the Fyten home but we certainly stay busy! Erica had her first band/choir concert last night. it was great.. I was more proud of how beautiful she is becoming , in her nice black slacks! and white nice shirt... and HER HAIRD DOWN!!! she usually wears blah clothes and her hair is always up in a snarly pony! drives me nuts. so I was pretty proud of her! :) Nicholas had a Hockey tournament last weekend in Princeton, I always love to watch him play... the first night he didn't to do well, didn't even seem like he wanted to be there... we had a talk with him and we found out that he is scared to get to aggressive because he might get a penalty! we told him to not worry about that! just don't trip or hit anyway! get in there and get that puck! it's yours! and the next day's game he was like a whole new kid! he was great! This weekend we have to go to Breezy point for the whole weekend for another tournament. I am not to happy about it, I have so much stuff to do around here... but I am going to try and enjoy it and think of it as a mini vacation... Kids will get to swim on free time... it's always nice to go someplace else cause I don't have to worry about cleaning and cooking... I plan to bring my Bible and do lot's of reading... Yesterday I was feeling real grouchy! un appreciated, tired, over whelmed, mad at how much I have to do around here! I hate feel like that! so what do I do? I write to my sister Stacy and tell her how I am feeling and tell her to send me a list of verses I need to read in the bible to snap me out of this funk! She knows the bible pretty good... I was a little scared to ask her figuring she would send me something that would maybe make me feel bad, like THE LORD YOUR GOD SAYS TO GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND QUIT WALLOPING IN SELF PITY! But thank you Lord she didn't... When I was reading it, I was like, JEEZE how did she know this is exactly what I needed to hear! But I guess, really she didn't... God did! He works thru people, so he knew what I needed to hear! sorry Stacy you don't get the credit! :) Anyway, if your feeling overwhelmed, under appreciated, feeling maybe a little sorry for your self... Look up
Romans chapter 12, Phillipians Chapter 2... and she did send me another I haven't looked up yet, but James 1:22-25.
so now what I need to do is either carry around my pocket bible, or memorize, cause I can feel like that several times a day!
Well, only two more weeks until Christmas. I have most presents wrapped a couple more to buy, I haven't bought Rick any so far.. not sure if we will this year, He bought him self a pretty nice tool chest so, I asked him if he could just buy me a family membership to YMCA for a few months... I need to lose some serious lbs. either that or put a horn on my butt cause I am draggin a dang caboose around... so yep that is my New Years Resolution! surprise! I have this stupid idea in my head, well, if I have to start on a diet I may as well enjoy the now... I can't start now???!! Christmas and new years is coming! well, with that attitude now I can't even fit into my fat pants! serious! I should at least start choosing better foods right now, and lose a little and so what have some eatin fun at Christmas and new years and then start the serious stuff after! But my mind can't think that way! I act like I am on my death bed... so I have to get in everything so yummy and delicious now because I won't be able to have anything once my diet starts... that's just setting my self up for failure, isn't it? or at least setting my self up for more weight to have to lose! why can't we just all be skinny huh?!!
O.k. I better get going here. got to feed some kids...
