Good morning everyone! What a surprising “snow” we had last night! Kaleigh had a two hour delay this morning so that always throws things off a bit. This weekend was pretty uneventful for us. While we did manage to get a lot of cleaning done and getting rid of TONS of things, I have been slowing burning out. Jay has been working A LOT of overtime which means that I am with the kids by myself a lot more. It finally hit me…I. NEED. A. BREAK. Big time. And Im not just talking a 10 minute break. I mean a full one day to myself….at least. Being with children who constantly are interrupting, fighting, nagging, distracting you from your work kind of children takes a toll on a person. Im not saying they are all bad haha, they do great playing by themselves and even with each other for a time being, BUT everyone has their breaking point, and Ive reached mine. My wedding begins in ONE weekend and I feel like I am in need of some relaxation before then. There, I said it! Jay, if you are reading this, its a big hint to you. 😉
I also want to touch base on my 52 week project…I have not given up, although some of you probably think I have lol! I have missed posting the last few weeks because I am just exhausted by Friday. I know its not that hard to post a simple picture, but Im loosing motivation already and we arent even halfway into 2013. Im going to make it a point to be better about that. I also didnt post 15 on 15 on Friday because the day that I documented probably wasnt the best day. I was at a shoot for three hours(and two hours were spent in drive time) and then I fell asleep at 8:00 that night. Ha! So you can imagine all the photos I took that day. Still, I am going to post it for you. 🙂
Below are the goals from last week….
Personal:
-go to Goodwill to drop off THREE trash bags full of clothes that I am getting rid of….I dont have a problem with spending money, I have a problem with hanging on to things(MUCH of what I am getting rid of is from my high school days!!!) Sad I know! SO glad I did this! Now I have an excuse to shop….JK! haha
-do all the cleaning I didnt get a chance to do this weekend! I dont think our house has been this clean in a long time!
-take Kaleigh and Carter’s clothes to the second hand shop….if ANYONE is interested in boys/girls clothing sizes newborn and up to 7(girls) and 4(boys) let me know!!
-continue working with Carter on reading…I feel like such a slacker because when Kaleigh was little, I started teaching her to read around the age of 3 1/2-4 so she was well advanced when she entered kindergarten. Ive just now started with Carter, but he catches on quick and has been doing a great job!
-go bowling with some *adult* friends on Saturday! We dont get to get out much so this is always exciting! Fun night! 🙂
-put some things on craig’s list to get rid of!
Business:
