A Day in Pictures

Ok, so, I had planned to take pictures all day Tuesday and have the post up yesterday. Did that happen? Of course not. See, I threw my neck out this weekend and have had a hell of a time recovering.  Figuring better late than never is a good way to go, I decided to take pictures all day yesterday.

After I dropped the kids off at school, I came home, made oatmeal and finally caught up on Sunday's "Once Upon A Time"

I finally got around to making our Christmas cards.

Then, I caught up on the latest "Degrassi". Don't judge....it's my thing.

I decided to get dressed around 10 a.m.....these were my jewelry choices.

Ugh...a small amount of housework got done. Stupid neck.

Waiting for the kids to get out of school.

After their homework and dinner, they laid around watching cartoons for a bit.

While the kids were watching cartoons, I was enjoying a nice mug of hot chocolate.....nom nom nom

Fearing the never ending search of the perfect present, I spent my evening in Toys R Us, looking for Zoomer Zuppies and stocking stuffers. It was a success!

After I came home from the toy store, David and I just sat around watching "Chopped" and "South Park". Normally, more housework would have gotten done. I just wish my neck hadn't gone out. Oh well!  It wasn't super exciting, but that was my Wednesday!

December Goals

Ah, the start of a new month.  I always feel like a new month holds promise and hope that things will change for the better.  I've never been one to make goals, because I feel like a goal is something I can easily blow off and not feel bad about it.  Making lists is more my thing, as it seems more like it's something I HAVE to do to feel good about myself.  This month, I'm going to make a list of my goals and put it out there for people to hold me to!  Maybe then, I will actually do it. 

Goal #1: Lose 5 lbs by Christmas. ( I have no excuses for this. We got a gym membership and I have 5 days of my week free to do what I want.)

Goal #2:  Make our Christmas cards and have them sent out by the end of the first week. (David is doing no shave November, so he wants to not look like a grizzly bear for the picture.)

Goal #3:  Have the house pristine by the time we leave for the Holidays. (Who wants to come home from vacation to a messy house?)

Goal #4:  Get myself dressed, hair done, makeup on, at least 3 days out of each week.  (I really am getting lazy and I think David would love to come home to someone who looks like she tried that day.)

Goal #5:  Finish reading "Frankenstein".  (I've been trying to read this book for weeks....)

Goal #6:  Follow my blog schedule. (Yeah, I'm lazy...)

I think that's enough for such a busy month. We are/have constant visitors this month, so I didn't really have the leisure of taking my time to get the Holiday shopping done. We are almost completely done buying for family and friends. I'm really looking forward to traveling and giving and spending time with family.
