Wheel of Life

I've been taking wellness coaching classes for about a month and a half now, and one of the things I've learned is how important life balance is. I had read this in books before, but I can see what a difference it really makes when I'm putting deposits in all the different areas of my life. Obviously, physical and career are big areas of focus right now, but I'm also trying to put time into my spiritual growth and financial health. (Justin and I started Financial Peace University last week.) I am trying to remind myself not to ignore any of these areas. This is one of the things I'm going to emphasize when working with my clients on wellness. For example, you can be in the best physical shape of your life, but if you and your spouse are having problems, you will still be unhappy and stressed, which could lead to problems in other areas of your life.

Discovered the Culprit

I haven't posted in forever, and this still isn't going to be much of a post, but I had to share a small victory. I have finally identified my archnemesis of this summer, the army worm.

I've been dealing with these critters for a couple of months, both in their catapillar and moth states. They keep getting in my house and after finding them in a corner of the bedroom yesterday, I told the hubby I was nearing a mental breakdown if he did not help me deal with these things. He asked around at work and found out these are army worms. I tried to explain to him, I like Army Wives, not army worms.

Based on what I've found online these things love to eat grass and are taking over the Mid-South this summer. (Thanks, I noticed.) Other than spraying the yard with a pesticide I bought at Lowe's, all I can do is keep praying that God will end summer and send these creatures back to Satan. :)
