Blowing The Dust Off

Wow. Has it really been since May that I last posted?  I'm sorry. 

One of my New Year's resolutions is to blog again.  But not necessarily in the manner that I blogged before.  I want to use my blog as more of a journaling spot.  A place where I don't care what I say or who I offend.


Me and My Boys - September 2011

On that note I am naming this year New Year, New Me! 

This year's goals:

Lose weight.  My first goal is to lose 30lbs by April.  My starting weight is 190lbs.  Ugh.  Such an ugly number.  This is exactly where I was LAST new years.  I was down almost 20 lbs by last April and threw it all in the garbage.  Ugh again.  Oh well.  You live and learn right?

More family time.  I feel like we are always in a hurry and running here and there.  I want to take more time to spend as a family.  Doing family activities.  I would love for this to include a family vacation.

Focus on my business more.  Set little mini-goals for myself each month.

I'd like to end this post with photos of my boys.  They have grown so much this last year.  I can not believe how quickly time is flying by.  They will be four soon.  And we have finally gotten rid of diapers!  Woo Hoo!!!



Marcus - Christmas 2011



Maddox - Christmass 2011

Just Thursday

Outside my window..blue skies, sun, and estimated highs in the 70's today!!!

Today I feel..excited.  I got a big order in the mail yesterday, another one to be delivered today.

I am thinking..about all the things I have on my plate.

I am thankful..that God has allowed me to live another day.

Tomorrow I am..working and playing with the fellas.  I need to go out and buy a birthday present and a graduation present too.

I am wearing..new gray pants and a new pink shirt, and new black wedge sandals.  So so cute.  It's amazing what new clothes do for my attitude.  I feel great!

I wish..I could just blink and my projects would be done.

This weekend I..must start painting the ceiling and walls in my kitchen.  I'm going to take the boys to an event in the town I work in.  They are bringing a bunch of vehicles and equipment in for the kids to explore.  We also have a birthday and a graduation party to go to.

I need to..clean and organize the boys' toy room. {Same as last week...never touched it.}

I am reading..The Pioneer Woman's, Black Heals to Tractor Wheel.  Well I shouldn't say I'm reading it.  I have it, but haven't cracked it open yet. 

Yesterday I...did a friends' nails and played with the fellas.

I am hoping..for a stress free weekend!!!!

Goodbye

Just Thursday

Outside my window..finally! The sun is shining! What a difference the sunshine makes on my energy level and mood.

Today I feel..energized and renewed!!!

I am thinking..about Scentsy. These last few days it has been on my mind all the time.  I am so excited to be starting this new chapter in my life.

I am thankful..for wonderful friends, and the opportunities that have come my way.

Tomorrow I am..working, playing with the kiddos, and playing with all of my new Scentsy stuff.

I am wearing..gray dress pants, a really cute pink shirt I just got from Old Navy, and peep-toe heals.

I wish..I had a few extra hours the next few days to get all of my stuff organized.

This weekend I..hope to get some more yard work done.  I have my niece Saturday morning which I love.  Her and the boys have such a great time together. 

I need to..clean and organize the boys' toy room.  It is getting out of control and I can't stand it.

I am reading..nothing...yet.  I have to run down to the library and grab The Pioneer Woman's, Black Heals to Tractor Wheels that I had on hold and is ready for me.  I can't wait to read it!

Yesterday I..worked and hung out with the kiddos.  I normally clean on Wednesday nights, but the crappy weather has had me so unmotivated.  I did make a yummy dinner; Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry.  It was yummy and the boys scarfed it down.

I am hoping..for succes.
