The Pity Party Is Now In Session...

Okay, anyone who does not want to hear me complain, feel free to leave this website and go back to what you were doing before.  We all good?  Alright, here it goes.  This post is all about why MS totally bites.

My mind thinks that my body can do all that it used to be able to, when in fact, it can't.  It really is a bummer.  After coming home from vacation, I was all pumped up into getting things done around my house.

Here is a list of what I wanted to get accomplished today:

• Menu plan
• Grocery shop
• One load of laundry
• Unpack 
• Put up the very few decorations bought at IKEA
• Start cleaning guest room
• Make dinner
• Clean kitchen/table after dinner

Here is a list of the things I actually accomplished:

• Menu plan
• Grocery shop
• Make the easiest dinner possible

The rest of the day was spent sitting down or lying down because I was too dizzy to stand.  It really put a damper on the whole, "get things going" attitude I had felt when I woke up this morning.  

Well, at least I can still walk right?

Angel's Landing

While we were down in southern Utah the guys went on a hike in Zions National Park. It was so beautiful. The hike is 5 miles and you gain 1500 feet! It is not a place for people that are afraid of heights. There is a chain to hold onto so you don't fall off the 1000 ft. cliffs. Chris, Paul, and I weren't sure if we wanted to go all the way to the top since it looked pretty sketchy but after seeing a couple of teenage girls go by us in slip on shoes we thought, "if they can do it..." Don't ask me what they were thinking. Actually they probably weren't thinking at all. The views from the top were amazing. Definitley worth the trek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Menu Monday

Well, we're back from a very long, and very fun vacation. I have lots and lots of blogging to do! But first things first...Menu Planning. :) We got back late last night with NOTHING in the fridge, so a grocery shopping we went...and boy did we SHOP! After a full cart at Costco and another at Price Chopper, this is what I came up with:

Monday: Loaded Baked Potato Soup and Rolls
Tuesday: BBQ Beef Sandwiches and Sweet Potato Fries
Wednesday: Hawaiian Haystacks
Thursday: Taco Night
Friday: Calzones and Green Salad
Saturday: Hot Dogs...Sara Style :)
Sunday: To Be Decided...I'm up for ideas

Something That Starts With An "F"

Yesterday Todd and I took a nap after church.  We woke up to a very excited Riley.  He was jumping up and down and telling us to come look what he'd done.  He said it was a surprise that started with an "F".  Well, what we found shocked us both.  I can honestly say that it was the very LAST thing I ever expected to see!



Sorry about my "tired voice"...and my sneezes. Not the best video I'm afraid.
