My brother-in-law is a great guy... He is loud and annoying and very caring. He lives out of state and isn't always able to come home for the holidays but a few years ago he did come for Christmas. Rick decided to ambush the entire family with a Nerf Gun War. There must have been 20 different guns and I know there were over 4000 bullets. It was epic! Everyone got involved. It really was a lot of fun and thus started the King family Nerf Gun Wars. He gave my children all of the guns and all of the bullets (I am still finding them all over my house).
So now when I want to celebrate something with my kids or to relieve some stress I pull out the Nerf Guns. My son elected to have a nerf gun birthday party last year and it was sooo much fun!! My point here is...having something like this that means a lot to my family and is a way for all of us to blow off some steam and just have some fun is a beautiful thing. It gives all of us an oppurtunity to enjoy time with each other. It has been a while since we had an epic Nerf Gun battle in my house but I think that we may just need to pull those guns out again.
Thank you Rick for inadvertantly giving my family a new tradition. It is a reminder that we need to have a little fun and a little craziness once in a while, even when we grow up!! I have been feeling much better the last couple of days. Staying on my food plan and working hard for the next two weeks. My funk from the other day has subsided thanks to a wonderful friend that simply expressed to me that we all have those same feelings of being not enough sometimes but that it's okay and this too shall pass.
I did go to the gym morning and evening yesterday and was there bright and early today. I did weigh in this morning unofficially and I am down 5 pounds so far this week YAY!!! perhaps the the plateau has broken through. A family commitment tonight will prevent me from going to the gym again but I do plan to have a serious session with the "total gym" that has been lurking in my basement unused for some time now so at least I will be able to to accomplish something while not sacrificing my family time. So far this is shaping up to be a great week and I am staying positive and happy and looking forward to having some fun! What are you doing to keep moving and having fun today?
