A slew of posts!

I am questioning my decision already!!!  This is not good... I need something to occupy my evenings, something to look forward to.  Housework just doesn't have the appeal, same with sewing or crafts... but something needs to happen to keep me from going crazy!

Exercise... I need to get back to nightly exercise!  I am heading out camping Wednesday with my boys, so it won't be an easy thing to work into my evenings... but when I'm back, I need to make it my priority.  I need to kick my body back into the shape it was last fall, and kick it up a notch from there!!  Nothing like endorphins to pull me out of these thoughts, this little low I am feeling.

Oh, I'm also thinking I should start setting aside some money for my next few tattoo's... that would certainly make me happy!

Post Christmas Let Down

It's always a little sad to take the Christmas stuff down and get it ready for storage... also sometimes makes me wonder why go to the trouble of putting it out for a month a year??? Now that the Christmas season is over, it will give me a chance to finally finish getting the house set up they way I want it to be. I would love to have it painted, but the expense is an issue... and just not sure I am up to the job myself.

I have curtains for two rooms (the master bedroom, and the front living room) to be completed, as well as finishing touches that need to be done. I am also going to be clearing out toys this week, they really don't need all that we have, and I hate the clutter it creates! Some of them I will sell, the rest will head off to goodwill.

It is also time that I started watching what I eat, it has been getting a little out of hand lately. With Little Man being 1, and no plans for anymore little ones, it is time to take back my body. I will start with small changes, and then progress through out the year to get where I want/need to be. I'm still working on setting up my weight loss blog, but should hopefully have it up and going by tomorrow. I should also have the house sorted out well enough in a few days to devote some time to exercise!!!!

Why do these things happen....

So, things are going well, I've made it the gym a number of times... and then... it all comes to a screaching halt!!! While visiting Hubby's sister up North, I sprained my ankle rather badly! It sucks so much. It is hard to get the kids up and down the stairs, and just walking around is painful. Thankfully Hubby took Monkey to school this morning and then even took Bug to Gymaniacs to play, so it was just me and Little Man.

I suspect it will be a week before I am walking well again, not sure when I will get back to the gym. I was really enjoying my time there too, and was looking forward to start lifting weights soon. Guess it is all on hold till I can get around again.

We did have a nice visit with 2 of Hubby's sisters, although it is getting harder to do with the 3 kids. It's hard on them, and us to be driving 3-7 hours for a short visit, I suspect it won't be happening too often anymore.

I'm just thankful that Hubby is home right now to help me out with the kids... if I stand for more than about 10 minutes my foot starts to throb.
