update
Sometimes I forget to update my journal. Like this week, I've been able to read every day, but haven't written since Monday. Hmmmm.
Well, I've been working more. I had yesterday and today off, but work both of the next two. I work every day next week with the exception of Monday, which is MLK day and the kids are off from school. But I have next weekend off! I haven't had a whole weekend off for.... well maybe since I started working there in October. Can't believe it's January.
And the middle of January at that. January is half over. I'm already thinking Spring. We're not really having "Winter" in South Texas this year. I don't own a coat and I've made it to the middle of January without suffering from the cold. At this point, I don't see me getting one at all this Winter. I have projects I want to begin, but I'm having trouble finding the energy and motivation to do so.
I'm currently...
1. taking care of three kittens
2. working about 20 hours, if not more per week
3. down 26 pounds from last June. Twenty of which have come in the 6 weeks. It's going fast and my wardrobe is growing. Quite happily, I might add.
4. really focussing on the routine of daily chores. Both with myself and the kids. I want them to really develop the habit of cleanliness and tidiness. Yesterday Georga volunteered to scrub the toilets... she actually wanted to clean them. Way cool.
5. Jackson is having a lot of trouble hearing us these days. Or perhaps "trouble hearing" is more appropriate. Hoping this is just a short lived phase.
Wanting to....
1. get organized
which requires: setting up a system, implementing said system by going through the piles of crap around the house. (actually, I've been consolidating piles, so there aren't as many as there were. I do try to throw out at least something anytime I move a pile)
2. get back in the gym
3. get these kittens a home - really I do! They are a handful. but so damn cute!!
