Good Stuff: A stackload of books that we got for the winter holidays.
Decision: Resolving to have a set time to read in bed before going to sleep.
Good Stuff: Kids got a stackload of toys and games.
Decision: Mom is going to need to carry around the iPod a little bit more often when Wii Music is on. And Cooking Mama.
Good Stuff: Got a huge LUSH order coming.
Decision: Mom's baths will now be sacred time. Sanctuary time will be 11p after the kids are in bed.
Good Stuff: Lots of good food was had and made. (Plus a new purple KitchenAid called Pookie)
Decision: Will be getting a yearly membership to for family to either the YMCA or the Aquatic Center (depending on who has more for all of us). I realized the other day that I gained back the full 15 pounds that I lost this summer. Pretty much because I havent been out on normal walks and not sticking to proper portions.
Decision II: A bento box.
Good Stuff: Emotionally, its been the most relaxed holiday season I have had in years.
Decision: Got to do something more about these winter allergies. This is the most sniffly winter I have had since about 8th or 9th grade and if it wasnt for Zyrtec I would be a blowing mess at night. I know that its all allergy related, probably connected to the extra time I am in the house now and the weather being wonky.
Good Stuff: A sort of kind of cleaner house.
Decision: If I can't be a domestic goddess, I will resolve instead to be a domestic heathen.
Good Stuff: Justric's family continuing to be my family. Connecting with cousins I actually like on Facebook.
Decision: Staying the course with my blood relatives. Accepting how much my father has grown to hate this time of year, though he tries. Continue to be grateful for all the 'grandmothers' that my kids have in their lives, as well as the blood relatives who love them as well.
