A Belated New Year.....

Okay, so I've been a slacker and not posted anything in a while but not sure who has bothered to even read anyway. Maybe this is therapy for me!

I can't believe it's January 20th already! The kids have been back in school for a couple of weeks though I still do'nt feel like I'm in a routine yet. The first week they were back, I got sick.........stomach bug in various forms. The next week was pretty normal. Yesterday was MLK holiday and today it snowed so school was cancelled. Tomorrow is my only "me" morning since the kids will be out of school on Friday. (Lindsey doesn't go on Tuesdays or Thursdays.) It has been nice to not have to rush them places and do the homework deal but I cherish my time. Plus I need to get my butt back in the gym like I did last summer. I still haven't excercised like i was since school started in August! Shame on me! No excuses! I'm trying to get Lindsey used to going again though I feel bad taking her when she isn't in school. I feel like I should use that time to do something together. However, when she is in school, I try to work out but I'm also trying to do chores and volunteer at school one morning so that when she is not in school, I'm not doing so much housework. Oh, the challenges of trying to be a GOOD mother.

Part of that is getting rest. I actually went to sleep before 10:30 last night only to wake up at 2:30 and lay awake until 5:30!!! So I should probably be hitting the pillow now...........plus I have clean sheets waiting on me!
