So many ornaments. Not enough slots for them to go in.

Yes! I totally get that it is now mid January! Well, only just last week I got to do one of my most dreaded tasks. I waited just as long as I could...




The taking down of the Christmas ornaments! When you are putting them up you remember just how beautiful everything was the year before and it is SO MUCH FUN putting it all out again! The kids want to help and in my case your Mother In-Law comes over to make sure that you don't do a rotten job on decorating by yourself!

Then of course, because each year you accumulate more than you had the year before and you DID NOT save the boxes that everything came in you must head to a CONTAINER STORE near you to package everything back up to store in the attic.


Stu was a fabulous help! I couldn't have done it without him.

Plans for this year's Christmas? Disney World.

A Frightful List on Happiness

Obviously this blogging thing doesn't appear to be for me. It has been months since my last post and I haven't even really thought about it at all. I have found some really great blogs out there that are seriously a lot of fun, colorful, and just plain great to read. But I tell ya, I find that when I do consider getting online and blogging that the majority of thoughts that run through my mind to write about are all negative...
I WANNA WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING HAPPY! Something happy?

So today I am choosing my children. My two boys. As Christmas has just ended and we are about to head into the New Year I thought that I would post up a few happy shots of my babies from a few years ago and make a commitment to myself to post more as a resolution. (people never keep their New Year's resolutions)

Resolution 1. Loose weight (who is with me?!?!)
Resolution 2. Post more into blog (could be very therapeutic for me)

Things I would like to accomplish this coming year/soon...

1. Weight loss. (Yep.)
2. Be a better mother. (I think I am right up on top here, but why quit trying?)
3. Organize my world. (I recently did this to the meds/first aide cabinet.
It was a true task)

We'll see...
