Bug or is it??? Today the whole, now, me

Hello World,

Bug got sick this morning, so I was unable to go to church. I was a little disappointed, but I know his health is the important thing. It was that same type of sickness that he had for two weeks. It only lasted for about two hours today, but he threw up about 10 times. I am wondering if he needs to be seen by a gastrointorologist or however you spell it (the stomach doctor). I am starting to think that this is not just a stomach bug. I hope it is nothing too serious. Some good news about Bug. He is fully potty trained in only two weeks. Can you believe it! All it took was the daycare moving him to the room with the older kiddos. The peer pressure pushed him right into "potty" mode. Now he will ask to go or either go on his own. I am so proud of him. I know he is not one of your early potty trained kids, but at least he did it before three years old and that was my goal.

Speaking of stomach, last week was tough. The nausea was to the max. I even had headaches. I worked out three times last week. I only ran two miles last Monday. I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN FEELING LIKE IT. I have been feeling yucky and extremely tired. Once I get home from work, I am out. I have gone to sleep every night last week without even knowing it. My husband has had to wake me up and tell me to go to bed. So I have to give myself and 'F' for effort for last week :-( To top it all off, I ate whatever I wanted. This is going to be more challenging than I thought.

I have been reading the pregnancy and running book. The first three chapters have been about pre-pregnancy care. Its okay, I guess, I will keep reading. I am also reading a Suze Orman book. I want to get a better understanding of money and money matters for my kids sake (notice I said kids). I want them to have a better financial future than I did when I became an adult. So I want to learn how to teach them how to manage their money. So that means I will have to learn how to better manage mine and not leave it for someone else to do. Thanks be to God that I have an honest accountant who manages my books (for my business) or I'd be in trouble.  I really don't like dealing with the ins and outs of money. I feel so ignorant that I just run as far away from it as I can. I have even ignored bills so that I wouldn't have to deal with it. I know what you are think. "She is crazy ignoring bill and ignoring balancing her checkbook etc." But when you have been where you don't have enough, looking to see what you don't have is painful.

Check out Proverbs 31. I read that several times last week. I strive to be that woman. I believe I have a lot of her characteristics. I am working to develop more of them.

Because I am about living in the "now" I have to get rid of that old, "later" or "tomorrow" thinking. I am getting control of things "now", "today".  So today, I am taking better control of my health, finances and getting more organized. This is health at its essence---- Becoming a WHOLE person.

I haven't talked to my husband much this weekend. Fred becomes a zombie during football season. I think it is so cute (sometimes it is annoying). He loves football. He knows everything about it and all the players. He is a true fan. Anyway, college football is Saturday and NFL is on Sunday so I had better find something to do on the weekends. I watch it with him at times. He has taught me a lot about it so it is interesting to me now. Well, I guess I will catch the rest of this cowboys game with him. Wish me luck on this week of health and wholeness. I'll write later.
