Goals

I need a place to write some shit into existence. I know no one reads this on purpose but I feel like if I write some stuff down that I want to do/work on/change/become it might be more real. I have these thoughts everyday...

*have a *more* structured plan for the kids during the day ( less tv )
*eat clean 90% of the time (one cheat meal a week)
*get up before the kids @5:45 to meditate & pray
*start the c25k
*work out 4 days a week at the gym (zumba 2, pump 2)
*work out at home of can't make it to the gym
*do yoga with Violet
*lose 50 pounds before the end of the year
*make a denim quilt

I'm so tired of thinking about these everyday and doing nothing about them. I have had such a rough time since Mom died. I have completely let myself go and I'm almost up to 190 pounds and my body hurts. I think I'm having inflammation problems from poor diet. I'm going to pull myself together and honor my mother in a better way, by honoring myself. I deserve better from myself and my family deserves a better me.

Tomorrow I'll write a more detailed plan for reaching these goals.

Potty Trained!

I think it's official. This kid (28 months later) is potty trained. Day trained anyway. We started Sunday(only 5 days ago!) with a strict no pants, at home training. We had a potty chair in the living room and one in the kitchen. M&M's for treats and a crazy potty dance. Now he is just peeing every 5 minutes so he can have candy. Whatever. He's so dang cute. I was so worried about starting him but it wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be.

I'm Back

That was a long break from blogging. This will be a quick post but I wanted to do one and get back in the habit. Every time I look at my kids I realize I'm going to forget these things one day. I need to write them down.

I was trying on clothes with Dex the other day and I heard "you wook booful in dat shut Mom" first my heart melted. Then I thought, I never want to forget this moment. So, I'm back to blogging. It's important.
