Happy New Year

I know, I know...its been a long time since I posted anything....it has been busy!! First of all, I had surgery in November and felt horrible for a while afterward. Then it was Thanksgiving...Gabriel's birthday...everyone got sick...then all of a sudden, as if out of nowhere, it was Christmas! It seemed like it came up so fast! Other than me being sick on Christmas Day, the holidays were nice, although I don't feel like I had chance to enjoy the build up to them like I usually do - not enough time! New Year's Eve was fun...we went to our neighbor's house and played board games. We had a blast!! Everyone make it to midnight. The kids were very excited! Plus, all we had to do was walk 30 feet home. Not bad!

So on to 2009. I have decided to follow the lead of a friend of mine, and not call them resolutions, but rather life changes. Here is what I hope to accomplish this year...

1. Do everything in my power to be the best mother and wife possible - I never feel like I do enough!

2. Make more time for me...which I really do not do! It will probably will have a better time of number one if I do this!!

3. A complete lifestyle change that includes proper diet, exercise and enough sleep! I am hoping to lose about 55 pounds this year. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. It is time to help myself out of it!

4. I would like to become more organized. Perhaps increasing my sleep with aid in this!

5. Try to work on the book I started and maybe even finish it!

Ummm..that is all I can think of for now...I don't want to try too many things and fail, so maybe this is enough!

Happy New Year all!
