A NEW ME

Ok, Caiden is 6 months old today! I CANNOT believe it. Its even harder to believe that I cant find time to update my blog. Whats wrong with me, when am i going to get it together? TODAY! YAY ME!

Well, I'm not going to attempt to catch up since November. I'm sure all of you dont care to read my huge long posts. The honest truth is that my last two updates (that seriously took about 4 hours each) were journal entries for myself. I dont keep a journal (which I am not proud to say) so this blog serves as one. Someday I will print it off. Too bad I procrastinated that and now my printer doesn't work. One more thing on my list...

Anyway, this is a new year... Ok yeah, i missed the boat by a month and a 1/2. Its still a good time for me to set goals and work on improvement. Caiden is 6 months and Addysin is 26 months. If I live like this for the rest of my years of raising children I will not have much to show, except wonderful children of course. So here are the things I am going to improve upon.

1. Write in a journal or blog at least once a week
2. Pray and read from scriptures or church material every day
3. Nutrisystem! (that will be a future post in case you're wondering what I'm talking about.)
4. Get some excercise at least 3 times a week
5. Stay caught up on laundry and dishes ALWAYS
6. Take time away from kids once a week so Chris can have time alone with them and I can have sanity
7. Make a budget and stay on it
8. Spend more time with friends and family, even if its only on the phone
9. Take Addysin to fun places to play instead of letting her watch TV so much
10. Get Addysin and Caiden on FABULOUS sleep schedules

Whew, I'm excited to get started.

I need to make some goals like that. I just feel so let down though when I don't accomplish them! Good luck!! We need to get together again soon!

You go girl-it's refreshing to get a new start and set some goals. I didn't feel normal or with it until Aidan was like 6-9 months..before that I was a total wreck. So I'm proud of you! You're doing perfectly. And I love that one of your goals is to take Addi out more instead of letting her watch TV so much. Wish more parents had that goal in mind. Love ya and miss ya lots.
