Hello 2013!

Christmas is over.
My handmade things all got done in time!
New Years Eve has come and gone.  We had a blast first with family then with friends later in the evening.
My house is relatively clean, and JP is gearing up to return to preschool.
The routine is snapping back into place.

One thing that needs to be added to the existing routine is more "take care of me" time.  I need to take time to get moving a little each day.  I really want to start running again, but the whole gallbladder business has left me as heavy as i was right before Sweet Z entered the world.  Y.I.K.E.S.

So, for now, I'm starting slow.  Making the time every day to get off my bum.

I just downloaded a bunch of demos on the kinect, like Zumba and Biggest Loser.

I'm also committing to myself to write more, both here and at my knitting blog.  I  have designed a few things that I need to get down on paper so they can be shared with all who desire to make them.

For now... I need more coffee.

Monday. Clearly.

My husband woke me up this morning around 7:40 before he headed to work.  I snuggled back under the covers for a few minutes and checked my Facebook.  I admit, I'm totally addicted.  Since I quit my job to stay home with the kiddos, it's my main means of communication with just about everyone.  Anywho, I see on there that JP's school is closed today due to a water-main break.  My heart sunk.  I was so looking forward to the 2.5 hours of freedom after the day I had with the boy yesterday. If my life were a movie, this is the point where the scene would fade out, probably with some cheesy music, and the following would be in soft focus to further illustrate the flash-backiness. Yesterday was rough.  JP was cranky pants from the getgo, screaming every time I said something that he didn't like, or gave an answer he didn't like.  Everything was "WHY?!?!?!?!" Church felt awkward to me.  I felt like all eyes were on me and my screaming kid....

Leaps and bounds

My baby  girl is getting so big! Today is a pretty big day for the missus.  I'll try to recap all of the firsts I have witnessed. 1.) When she woke up, she squealed ," Mommy!  Brother!  Daddy?" when I went in to get her.  She seemed disappointed that daddy was already at work. 2.) She asked for more cheese at lunch. 3.) She went straight to sleep at nap time, and slept almost 3 hours. 4.) She took a bite of her frozen yogurt in a tube, said, "Hot!" and blew on it to cool it down. 5.) She got super fussy when we were playing downstairs.  She kept reaching for me and saying, "UP!"  After a few questions, she said she was hungry and wanted a snack.  I said, "You know, you can just say "I'm hungry" and we'll take care of you. She looked at me in the face and said, "I'm hungry". 6.) I had her on my hip when the boys were finishing the basement pick-up before getting a snack.  Z pointed at the stairs and said, ...

Yeah...

The idea of writing was a good one while Matt was away... however, a little ambitious.  I have some absolutely wonderful people in my life that kept my mind occupied and the two weeks went relatively fast, once the kids were over being sick. Most nights I knitted on the couch until I was falling asleep.  I did manage to finish 7-9 bibs for miss Z.  Only takes me about a day to knock one out!
