This time we went to a Zumba Gold training class. It was an all day training and so much fun. Zumba Gold is for people that are just beginning to exercise, have a disability or on a wheelchair. Let me tell you doing Zumba in a chair is just as fun as standing and doing it.<br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkobXt9DrhQW9n32wpp08VAKkTY64UJP1pPRfbjKHytSKSCvlgc0Zk_PRGEUXeHctQFCOi3JzSG5n-TKIwd52izG7SVxHBAgETP0vmk1nruj84oereoquzcBY6e2P3tQg3Q6l_BvqD05Oh/s1600/Z+Gold.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkobXt9DrhQW9n32wpp08VAKkTY64UJP1pPRfbjKHytSKSCvlgc0Zk_PRGEUXeHctQFCOi3JzSG5n-TKIwd52izG7SVxHBAgETP0vmk1nruj84oereoquzcBY6e2P3tQg3Q6l_BvqD05Oh/s320/Z+Gold.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630327347015409474" border="0" /></a>The instructor Madalene Aponte is high energy and a great instructor.

I know it is wrong to be jealous of other people and just because one person has something or gets to do something I don't, is no reason to be jealous. At times I feel it creeping in and I really try to pray about it and control those feelings. I know just because a person has this quality in their life does not mean they are not going through something in there own in life. I try to be grateful for all the good in my life, but sometimes, just sometimes I wish I had or could do something exciting. maybe my presumption of exciting is warped. I'm just not sure but I know I struggle with this, just saying.Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-16426677064405250692011-06-04T15:29:00.001-08:002011-06-04T15:31:51.024-08:00Fun, Fun Fun!Maybe you should join us in the:<br /><a href="http://mom2mycrazy2.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff279/alexispeloquin/flip_flops1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><a href="http://mom2mycrazy2.blogspot.com">Head on over to Running way?

I can't quite put my finger on what is going on with me, mid-life, pre- menopause dang I just don't know!<br />I don't feel very happy and it seems that nothing satisfies me. Not that I'm asking for fame and glory, but damn!<br />I am taking a summer class, I go back to work for the summer starting Tuesday, and I have numerous things to accomplish for my fall term, that needs to be taken care of now. I don't feel overwhelmed with all of this, and maybe the bored feeling I have will go away once all of this falls into action. I just don't know!<br />I find myself over eating and eating because I feel comfort in doing so, then I get sad because I weigh more now than I ever have in my entire life. I don't like my looks in pictures and oh no don't even set me in front of a mirror naked! <br />I wish my hubby would pay more attention to me, but he has his friends and they seem to be more important to him. He just goes and does his own thing and here I sit like right now, trying to put my feelings into words on my blog.......................blah!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-17213299548090747552011-05-24T21:03:00.002-08:002011-05-24T21:06:07.945-08:00Prayer WarriorsPlease take the time to read a Mama's cry out to the Lord for her son.

Lifespan Development was an awesome class on the web and the teacher was kind and put the whole terms worth of work up at the beginning. So I worked really hard last week and got that one off my back. Today I finished all the homework for my other class, Paraprofessional Counseling 2, now I have to go present a 8 page research paper on Cognitive behavioral therapy for Adult Asperger syndrome. After this I have 2 more weeks of school left then get a month break and go back for a summer class, "Group Facilitation". This will be a quick class of 1 day a week from 9 till 4 for 6 weeks =3 credits, whoa! After this class I will have 2 months off and back at it once again.<br />So for that nice month break I have ordered a few books to read while waiting for my next adventure.<br />Wednesday I shall start reading "I am your disease The many faces of addiction". I have a feeling this may bring tears!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-91078357509421159622011-04-17T19:40:00.002-08:002011-04-17T19:42:33.600-08:00WOW!

Crazy that I have not blogged for almost a month now. A lot has gone on in that month, I almost don't know where to begin.<br /><br />Let me start with the happy news:<br /><br />I finished off my term with a 4.0, yes I passed both my classes with an A. I'm stoked as I worked very hard to get those A's. Now I have a month off.YIPPY! Next term I have paraprofessional counseling 2, Life span and development and art appreciation. <br /><br />My friend Jennie and I went to Anchorage and became certified Zuma instructors, it was a 8 hour day of training and loads of fun! I have to practice up and get a whole lot better before I would take on a teaching position but wow, that was FUN!<br /><br />Not so good news:<br /><br />My cars transmission blew up and has been at the shop for a month now, awaiting a new tranny to be shipped up here so they can fix it. Two days after my car died, my Husbands truck died beyond repair, so we have this hunk of junk 85 subaru that barely runs, some days it runs right and other days it will hardly go.<br /><br />Christmas is tight, more tight than it has been for, well, I'd say 23 years. I keep telling myself this to shall pass.<br /><br />Weather news:<br /><br />It has been cold and dark, and I mean cold and dark........for the last couple days we have not seen above zero at all. Sunrise is at 10 am and sunset is at 3:45 pm. This is not so good for me with limited travel and being stuck at home. I look forward to the daylight slowly creeping back up, getting my car back and well warmer weather which warmer weather will be a long wait.<br /><br />I hope everyone is well and ready for Christmas.<br /><br />Blessings!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-85015393307955836322010-11-24T12:56:00.003-09:002010-11-24T12:59:18.771-09:00Happy ThanksgivingI want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.

It all started last Monday, I was driving along singing to the radio and my car made some funny noise. I pulled over checked it all out and it looked ok. I called Hubby and told him of the noise and he said"maybe it was just ice falling off the car" so I continued my journey. Well by the time I got home it sounded terrible. So Tuesday off to the shop it went only for them to tell me that my transmission had a hole in it and it is fried. Then Tuesday afternoon my husband thought his truck looked a little funny in the driveway and he went to investigate it. Well the rear end axle is rusted and folded over, so now his truck is toast and can never be driven again. Oh yeah and Tuesday Morning I was in my sons room looking for his math book for him, and I tripped over the cord to my laptop and slammed it to the floor, broken! Wednesday my Hubby tripped over his own feet and knocked my beautiful mirror off the wall. Broken. We have a car that needed a little work that we bought for my son, for when he gets his license in May, it was on the side of the house with a snow plow berm in front of it, Hubby dug it out and has been working on it so we have a car to drive. I have a friend who let me borrow her excursion, although a total gas hog I was very grateful..........well the 4 wheel drive went out on it...........It doesn't have studs and it is very scary to drive now, it wants to go sideways and let me tell you an 8000 pound vehicle that does not belong to me that wants to be sideways is NOFUN! So I have it parked in my driveway. I will call Monday and see if they have found a transmission for my car and see how much it will cost..........where that money will come from who knows.<br /><br />On the bright side of things I have my homework done and the term is winding down, just 3 more weeks and I get a lovely, well deserved Month vacation.Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-44832729681418986712010-11-14T06:16:00.003-09:002010-11-14T06:30:15.458-09:00Wow Really!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUiEZmwdh-5ugDVG5p7C7ozF7ewITpXHCFbeo8AlRRyycgXgU0tC8CLchSXCTBj_xxdOqcOGJ9cdKC6MAKfRCHbaU3lVqGlCAbu26G4FejQSFszApiRFGMoEFhw7gHLt2pXdXCVXZkD3j/s1600/DSCN0206.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUiEZmwdh-5ugDVG5p7C7ozF7ewITpXHCFbeo8AlRRyycgXgU0tC8CLchSXCTBj_xxdOqcOGJ9cdKC6MAKfRCHbaU3lVqGlCAbu26G4FejQSFszApiRFGMoEFhw7gHLt2pXdXCVXZkD3j/s320/DSCN0206.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539426842020026466" border="0" /></a>Last week, winter came about our little town and dumped a total of 2 feet of snow upon us.

It is a block class and only lasts 8 weeks. It is English Literature and my mind is not wrapping around the readings. I get so confused with the readings and how to make sense of it all. I pray that I can make it through the next 8 weeks and pass this class! I'm kickin and screanin all the way!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-67648201788560274822010-10-17T07:18:00.003-08:002010-10-17T07:32:56.039-08:00A Little of This and Some of ThatI can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks since I have blogged. So much has been going on I can't seem to keep up.<br /><br />School has been keeping me busy, and my classes are going good. I seem to have my face stuck in a book quite a bit these days..........I'm always hoping for a read for fun as I call it, but it always seems to be text books that my face is stuck in. I guess if college degrees were easy everyone would have one.......haha<br /><br />The weather around here has taken a turn for fall, and quickly looking like winter is on its way. Almost all the leaves are gone, it's been in the low 20's at night a few times and the sky looked like snow yesterday, but held off.<br /><br />I have a friend who is headed to Iraq on Tuesday, and I'm not really liking this, but what can you do other than pray for a safe return. So if you would please keep him in your prayers too.<br /><br />I have had major fun with canning foods this year so far. I have done, spicy black beans, spicy pinto beans, smoked salmon, salmon, peaches, beets and my new endeavor is making apple butter and canning that.<br /><br />Oh and I bought a gym membership and I have been going to the gym. I go to zumba a couple times a week, and step on Fridays and the rest of the time you can find me hoofing it on the treadmill and doing other workouts on the equipment. I have been doing this for 2 weeks now and dropped 1 pound.......UGH one 1 pound!

It's the strangest thing. I feel like I'm getting a cold one hour and the next not. Then nauseated and not. Sure wish my body would make up it's mind to be well and stop jerking me around! I know a lot of other people that are feeling the same way, I know we are not passing it back and forth because we all live in different states.<br /><br />Currently I have a stuffy/runny nose, heavy chest, and feel nauseated. So I'm on garlic, ginger, cayenne, and oregano pills and nauzene.<br /><br />Any of you have the same symptoms going on?Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-43754208823603874462010-09-23T17:03:00.003-08:002010-09-23T17:08:46.844-08:00Friday FlashBack Photo<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh86vD9NAf5AeSlpzVtjEud1Kam-rTiTlesICrn2FcJYMG7jOJBJt82JT90yGjpTvCNpJ1LXLiimpDJvtX1SYtNh-4_azbw7G0amOQIOi6JaS_wIEvFNHfh6vKukDAAP5Ga0OxvsgI0BO34/s1600/Scan_Pic0026.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh86vD9NAf5AeSlpzVtjEud1Kam-rTiTlesICrn2FcJYMG7jOJBJt82JT90yGjpTvCNpJ1LXLiimpDJvtX1SYtNh-4_azbw7G0amOQIOi6JaS_wIEvFNHfh6vKukDAAP5Ga0OxvsgI0BO34/s320/Scan_Pic0026.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520279443699476194" border="0" /></a>This picture dates back to 1985.

I fished as much as I possibly could and we canned salmon, smoked salmon and canned that too.</li><li>August I worked most of the month, went to the big city and shopped 3 times. Man that is a record for mall shopping for me....haha It was also my birthday and my son and hubby bought me a new camera. Have yet to use it much yet. Oh and back to school I went, this time taking paraprofessional counseling and English Lit.<br /></li><li>September so far and been an interesting month, I have a huge case of the lazys, and it is all I can do to get that homework done. Not sure what is wrong really just that I want to sit in my chair and do nothing. Yesterday I went and got my hair colored and it is a deep dark red, something that I have never had my hair look like before. I LOVE IT!</li><li>October is a new month and I do have plans on going back to the gym, not digging they L' bod these days and have to go something about it, and it wont happen in my chair.......haha Oh and I hope to get back into some form of blogging routine.<br /></li></ul>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924564465048615452noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491089843846207595.post-59643706195863048932010-07-22T07:30:00.003-08:002010-07-22T07:31:56.445-08:00Shoot Me! 5 of 52<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeAvhH01PWasOyCQc3zVTvONrhQCh-7TuWmPArhgZZhlJV3WUrYMdAI-a8DCOEtxFUMI8fKExiiw14zibWYmp05coVdhMcVrN0TpzMwI-ODBnVuOesflVsrcchwmyteQJdZkCbPPJGnot6/s1600/Webad.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeAvhH01PWasOyCQc3zVTvONrhQCh-7TuWmPArhgZZhlJV3WUrYMdAI-a8DCOEtxFUMI8fKExiiw14zibWYmp05coVdhMcVrN0TpzMwI-ODBnVuOesflVsrcchwmyteQJdZkCbPPJGnot6/s320/Webad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496753483848232274" border="0" /></a>This is my friend Jennie and I being silly at Grandma's birthday party a couple weeks ago.
