Kristi does Yoga!!

Ok my blogger buds, I have started Yoga, well I have been doing it for a little over a month now, 2 times a week at sunset. We have a class and it is awesome. The teacher lights candles and plays really cool relazing music. At first I was a little skeptical of participating in the class. I have always wanted to give it a try but when it came down to it I had a lot of fears. My first fear, was not being able to get into the positions. And my second was farting in class. I know a bit juvenile but it is still a fear. Well I took my first class at our local gym. Amazingly I was surpised at just how limber I really was. I managed to get into every position with no problems what so ever. As for the farting thing, never happened and I still have not had the urge. Unfortunalty in my first class there was someone who let it rip, I honastly felt bad for this poor sole but apparently it is something that is all too common and no one made any sort of deal about it. I have been a devout Yogi for the past few weeks, not missing one class at all since my start. Until next week that is, Halloween is on Yoga night and I am going to sacrafice for my children. In the course of a month I have noticed definate changes in my body from Yoga, I am stronger in my legs and arms. I also have a greater sense of balance now than when I began. Also I now see people struggle and pride myself in the fact that I can do the pose and hold it in the advanced postion. Last Thursday our instructor worked our quads big time. I felt it for 4 days after class. It was unreal, I suddenly felt muscles that I did not know I had or that I have not felt in a long time.

Update, word on the street, I should be getting a long awaited visitor this weekend. He has been gone for a very long time!! We are all cleaning and making home really nice for his arrival. The kids are especially excited, they have missed him dearly

Have you seen our bikes?

Alright so the husband is STILL not back yet and things just could not get any worse for me. I discovered that both my husband and my bicycles were gone. Stolen, but why? They have sat in the same place for the past two months, hey that must have been the problem. I live in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance from a shady area. I guess someone was scoping out my 'hood and noticed some unmoved bikes. I have no idea how long they were missing before I finally noticed. Thank God the kids bikes were still here but now I am forced to lock everything up. I called the police, filed a report, and I am on the lookout. So on Friday of last week I pull out on the main road leading into my neighborhood and there is this black girl on a bike, wait, its my purple $150 beach cruiser. How dare she. I know it is mine, someone has scratched out the lettering on my bike and wrote all over it with white paint and black markers. I ask this young girl where she happened to get the bike and she got all defensive, I got it at a yard sale at a whole different town hours away from here. Right, right honey, I know you got my bike and you need to return it or I am calling the cops. So I turn around and call the cops of course she disappeared. How dare she. I want my bike. All I want to do is ride with my children.
I just don't understand why people have to take stuff. It is so horrible, but now I feel so violated. Someone watched my movements and scoped out my goods and came into my yard and took them.

On a lighter note, tomorrow is my youngest ones birthday, Avery is going to be a whopping 4 years old. It seems like yesterday that I had the little booger. Crazy how fast time flies

update

I just noticed that my ticker says I have 1 month and 1 week until I am soaking up the sun in Jamaica. I am so excited to go on this trip. I have been planning and planning for months and its a shame that my husband has been out to sea during the whole excitement process. Yes folks I am still husbandless, but hopefully for not too much longer. It really sucks not having anyone to snuggle with at night or talk to when the house is quiet. I can handle all of the other time being by myself but I can only handle so much of truly being alone.

On a happier note, my oldest just turned 8 this past Saturday, boy oh boy I look at him and thing where has the time gone. It seems like he was just born a week a go and just walking yesterday. I guess time does fly when you are having fun. He had a skating party and a Superman cake. I had 11 children show up in all.

Next Friday is my other son's birthday, he will be 4, we have to do a Cars themed party but it is going to be low key. Just some of my friends and some cupcakes. I have been searching Wal-Mart over for those die cast cars from the movie Cars, so far I have found 8 different ones and I am still hunting for a couple more, my ultimate goal is to get him the whole set. I just happened to go to our Wal-Mart the day they got a new shipment and I bought 6 that I did not have. I should have bought them all before the movie came out, when I originally saw them.

I missed Dr. Johns marathon this month, it just so happens that I had another Microbiology test that week and I had to focus on that but I will be back in the swing of things once the husband gets home and he should be here in time for the next one. Its just hard to blog when kids need food and have homework and need drinks and entertainment.

Where has the world gone??

The school shootings in the past week have really made me think, What is wrong with society? I mean what posesses someone to enter a school and hurt innocent children? Now I have uneasy feelings sending my son to school. Of course I think what are the odds of something like that happening here, but I am sure all of the victims in the past week have thought the same thing at one point in time. Its a shame that we have to now question school, that was one of the only safe places we as parents had to send our kids.

I just wonder what makes people the way they are? Is it nature or nurture? Does it boil down to these attackers were beat or molested as children and this is the only way they know how to channel their angst?

My mother in law always is telling me that they best gift I can give my kids is to be here everyday when they are home. I thought at first, that was a pain in the ass and I needed my breaks. But now I agree, I am doing a world of good being here for my kids. I think that being a latch key kid just might lead to some of these social problems. Kids with too much time and not enough supervision, a recipie for disaster!!

I am Glad October is Here!!

Well for all of you that were wondering, my dinner for the Ladies on the Boat went great last weekend. It was a hit and everyone left with a smile on their faces.

Now on to a hectic week that I had, 2 Microbiology tests in 3 days, that was mentally straining. But I had a horribly stressful week, there is a wife on the boat that is making trouble for a bunch of other wives. It is a shame because she is 21 and has a newborn baby, but I guess boredom and depression has gotten the best of her. This is what happens to a lot of women when they have to go a month without hearing or talking to their husbands. She accused another wife on our boat of trying to find out military secrets and that this new wife was a security threat possibly being terroristic. That is a shame and someone had to actually go and question this new wife that the allegations were made about. Then this crazy woman making all of the trouble started making more trouble, aparently this time last year she had stalking issues against another wife on our boat and threatened to kill her and her daughter. So crazy wife making all of the trouble now used to have a restraining order on her!! Go Figure. This woman is not sane enough for her husband to be leaving her alone.

This week is my oldests birthday, he will be 8 on Saturday and we are doing a skating party for him. I have to get things together for his party this week!

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update and let you all know that I am still here
