Christmas break

Ahh...Christmas break is over and I am back at work. I need a break from my break. I was soo looking forward to spending some time with my girlies, but as it turns out, EVERYONE was sick. It all started with me on the Friday before christmas, I was feeling dizzy and a bit queezy...which now I think was the beginnings of the stomach bug. Next came Laney, with her projectile puking on Sunday night/Monday. Then came Alie with her version of the bug. Then came the gooky coughing, requiring a trip to the pedi and some antibiotics. The girls were grumpy, clingly and mopey all break and really weren't able to enjoy christmas at all....

However, there were some positive things that occured over break. Carl and I organized our house. We went through almost all of the rooms and took out the stuff that didn't belong and put it in the correct spot. Our bedroom took almost 3 hours alone! We were in such a rush when we moved in, things ended up in strange spots (tools in our bedroom for example). We ended up throwing a lot of things away as well...of course the trashman isn't coming this week. We are really enjoying our nice, clean organized way of living...not having to hop and leap to get to the washing machine, knowing exactly where the things we need are, etc. I am also really excited that we can really use and enjoy the man-room now.

Secondly, I watched the entire last season of Sex in the City (not that I hadn't seen it before). I LOVE that show. I love the characters, they are so smart, funny, independent, and believable. There are pieces of each person that I find interesting and strangely enough, inspiring.

Finally, as for new years resolutions: I plan to be more organized and schedule oriented. I figure this resolution will help out in a number of areas of my life, both professional and personal. I also plan to watch less tv (not that I watch a ton to begin with). It always seems like when I am feeling lazy, I turn to the tv and watch trash, resulting in a huge waste of time. Carl and I have decided to cut some frivolous things out so that we can spend more quality time together as a family and couple and so that we can become more financially fit.

Happy New Year!
