Well, as you can see from my last post it has been AWHILE since I blogged but I think it "time" to start again. It might be good therapy too! :)
Anyway, I just finished a class and we had to keep a journal and submit it along with an analysis of our journal. So I journaled for 4 weeks about food, exercise and sleep! DON'T worry, I won't be journaling about that here but what I learned was that journaling is great for keeping track and reflecting. Keeping track and reflecting......on WHATEVER you desire. It helps you see where you have been and where you are headed. It helps you see a bigger picture because really our minds can be soooo forgetful, forgetful of where we came from and most importantly where we are headed!
I am actually really excited! And the new title, THe Myers 5 - LIVE, well that is exactly what its gonna be....right here, right now and keepin it real!

Great Advice
I received this in an email today and found it to be so encouraging!
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

12 It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

Mother-Daughter Camp 2009
Chloe and I went to Camp Peniel for a Mother-Daughter camp! We had an amazing time!
I think that is the coolest place and I look forward to going back again!
Chloe and I had a chance to spend some time together doing things that we normally would NEVER do at home, plus we got a chance to meet some really great people!
It is so amazing to me how many women had come to Camp Peniel as children with their parents and are now bringing their children.
In our cabin we had a family that was 4 generations.......and a DOG!
Some women were there with babies that were still sleeping in a packNplay!
And they were so calm, the mothers and babies!
I would have been a nervous wreck!
I admire them for that!
What memories!
It is definitely going to be a tradition in our home!
It was AMAZING to see what the Lord had prepared for me there.
We had an amazing lady giving 2 talks and I think someone told her I would be there......because they were TOTALLY for me!
But then again.....the Lord does know exactly what we need and what time! :)

Breakfast of Champions!
Tonight for supper we are having roast beef sandwiches!
I have to cook the meat in my crock pot so this morning, about 6:30 am, I was getting everything together so it has ALL DAY to cook.
Well, last night I realized that my recipe calls for a can of beer.
SOOOOO, this morning while I am assembling I send Chloe to the garage to check the fridge out there.
This is how it went down:
"Chloe go out in the garage and see if there's a beer in the fridge."
Chloe says "OK!"
A few minutes later Chloe returns.......
"Mom, there was no beer so I brought you a bottle of water!"
WHAT IS THAT!
I guess she thought I was having beer for breakfast!
Then I take Lex to school and his school is right next to the convenient store......do you see where this is going??
So I drop him off and head into the store to get my needed ingredient, 1 12oz can of beer!
The cashier gave me the "one eyebrow up" look so I start in on my story.....
"I am using this to cook with and...." then the man behind me starts chuckling!
The whole time I am pleading my case and counting out CHANGE to buy this stinkin' can of beer for my yummy roast beef sandwiches wondering if ANYONE believes me!
I'm thinking next time I will leave it out!!!!
