I have discovered on my own, that not exercising truly affects my ability to write creatively. I'm not able to push "worries" from my head, and concentrate on work. So, in an effort to think better, I'm back on the treadmill. The kids have been after me, and now I am after them to exercise. Last night I had to laugh.
They invited me to do the Boxing VHS tape with them. I backed out, knowing full well I need to work up to that sort of strain. Funny thing is, they couldn't do it either. I looked over at them, and the video was going through the warm-up, and they were just standing there. I have to say it was pretty funny. The last time I attempted to do that work-out I just about knocked myself out. After they work up to 4 moves I just lose track of the sequence.
The weather is rainy, cold, and dreary today. Another reason to get off my rear and get motivated.

Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or go without."

Family Photo Albums Galore!
Now that I have spent about three hours working on my English paper, I think I deserve some fun. The sun is shining and the weather is very nice today. I'm not sure what I will be doing yet, but I do know what the kids are doing.
The kids are putting photos into the many photo albums we have. I took my scan disk in to Wal-mart and ordered 500 photos (some were doubles). However, this time the employee really messed them up. They were all completely out of order. This is making it more difficult.
I now have only around 600 photos on the scan disk and have the albums caught up to January of 2009 and it's almost a year later. Sheesh! I really need to get better at developing photos. If my scan disk only held 28, I would be forced to develop them more quickly. But nooooo, it can hold over 1000 photos.
We have the main family photo album, one for each child (where duplicates go), one for gardens, one for scenery photos, one for crafts, one for food and one for renovations (before and after). The kids love looking at their own albums, so it's all worth it. I started each album with photos from when I was pregnant with them to the current date. When they graduate, it becomes a gift to them to keep, along with a hope chest.
