Tummy Troubles

I was so excited for today to arrive, it was orientation for my teaching internship. I picked out a great outfit and felt pretty confident, despite my flat hair day.... I officially start on the 16th! I'm really looking forward to learning more and helping the students enjoy their education. Somewhere between orientation and taking the kids to meet their mom my stomach started feeling queasy. We made it home in plenty of time to go to the gym, but I'm afraid to move around too much because I just might get sick.

Not much got accomplished on the Flylady regimen, but that will change tomorrow. The largest room in our apartment is the living room, so that's my project for the weekend. We're also going to move the office stuff in to the living room so it's more easily accessible and utilized (it's been hanging out in our bedroom collecting junk). The intent is to shampoo the carpets too, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.


Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
Life is a test and a trust.
God is always testing us, even in the smallest of circumstances. One of the biggest tests and trusts is money. "God says there is a direct relationship between how I use my money and the quality of my spiritual life. How I manage my money determines how much God can trust me with spiritual blessings." Lots to think about...

BIBLE IN A YEAR
Today's passages: Genesis 8,9 and Psalm 12
I always wondered how all the flood waters were gone, God caused a wind... interesting (Gen 8)
The rainbow is the sign of the covenant between God and all living creatures. Noah drank too much wine and fell asleep exposed, where his son Canaan found him. Shem and Japheth covered Noah up, but because Canaan saw Noah naked Noah cursed him and made him a servant to his 2 brothers. (Gen 9)
"The words of the Lord are pure" (Psalm 12:6)

FLYLADY
Not much accomplished today because of this crazy schedule.
The mantra for 2012 is "Shelving Perfectionism," something I really struggle with. I want everything to be perfect all the time and if it's not, I just give up. I'm trying not to get to overwhelmed with the idea of having to get everything done now because that's not the point of this program. The point is to take it in small steps... but I really feel like I can't rest until it's 100% done...
Sink is shiny!

COUCH-TO-5K
I'm bummed that my stomach is being weird... I was really looking forward to running tonight. However, it will be one of the very first things I take care of in the morning if my stomach is better. I think we're going to adjust our gym schedule to Sunday through Thursday, so the kids can go with us (they really enjoy it).
