kids

Well just a little update on the kids...Christmas was great, this year the boys really understood santa and the big picture about Christmas in general. They got a lot of really cool toys, and they were really excited Christmas morning to wake up with everything under the tree. The baby got a lot of cute things to, she really seemed to enjoy it. They are all getting so big, I cant believe that they baby is going to be 10 months here in a few days, its really hard to believe. She is starting to pull herself up on everything and starting to cruise around. We are starting to eat a lot more table food and I am bound and determinded that she will not be picky like the boys are. The boys start back to school this week, which is good for them. They really seem to do well with that structure during the day. And its nice for me to get a little break! Other than that just have been trying to get things back in order from the holidays! Joe has been home a lot these past few weeks with christmas and new years, and although it is nice to have him home, it makes things a little more stressful since he gets so restless. Other than that monday is back to the normal schedule, and hopefully things will fall into place!

2009 can this year be different?!?

Ever since I can remember, every year come new years I made a resolution that I NEVER followed through with. The one that every year I go back to is losing weight. And yet again this year I have vowed to lose weight. But there are some things that I am going to try to get it right.

I have many 2009 resolutions, my weight and health being at the top of my list, but here they are:

*eat better and exercise
*take better care of my family and myself
*minimal fast food and eating out
*no wasteful spending
*save more money
*recycle more
*work on my relationships with my friends and my family
*be more organized and more clean


These are things in my life that I am really going to work on, and in a strange way they are all linked. If my house is clean, I feel better, and take better care of my self and my family. When I am not spending money on junk I can save money! Less fast food mean less unhealthy choices, and also leads to saving money!

These are just a few of the things that I am going to work on, maybe in a few months I will revise this list or change it a bit. I am really going to make an effort this year, I really am. I am tired of being so big, and tired of looking the way that I do. I dont want to have a daughter that grows up in a body that she hates, and that is how I feel. I know I can lose the weight, but it is going to take a lot of work, I just hope that I still have it in me!
