My Day

 The Holidays are rolling in, in fact, we have 5 days until Christmas Eve! How crazy is that?! Where does time go and how can we slow it down? Do you have plans or you staying home? We are going out of town to visit family, and I must say-I'm excited! I can't wait to watch Bentley and Sawyer play with their cousins and actually run with the big kids this year! It's always fun to see them happy. You know know the saying, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't no body happy?" Yes? No? Well, I think it should be said, "If kid 1 and 2 ain't happy, ain't no body happy," that's the truth! We will be visiting both sides of the family, but I'm bummed we aren't visiting the in-laws this year. Well, maybe just my sister-in-law and the kiddos. It was so nice to get away and do something new last year.

 As of yesterday, I started watching my calorie intake again. I actually lost 20 pounds by just doing that when Hubs was gone, so since I've practically packed that back on-I need to lose it again. I never had a problem with my weight until after I had children. Maybe I am crazy about doing this before Christmas, and I know I will crash the diet 2 days next week, but I am ready for a change...again. It is so hard to eat healthy when your family doesn't, but you know when you are ready when you set your mind to it. Please keep me in your prayers as I fight this battle because I love food. 

 This morning when the boys and I woke up, we cleaned. Well, I cleaned and they messed up, lol! I organized a few things in the house, dusted, vacuumed, mopped, and started laundry. Cleaning a house is a task, but I love it! I love to clean and organize. Maybe I'm a tad bit obsessive, but I love the feeling of a clean house. I think my boys do too :) Laundry on the other hand, I hate. We are a family of 4 and we dirty 2 loads A DAY! Is this normal? Not to mention, I also CD (cloth diaper), so that's 2 more loads added a day or every other day. I don't know how I would be able to keep up the house if I was working outside the home. I would be lost in a messy house with clothes piled to the ceiling trying to leap my way from room to room. Impossible. 

Sounds like Bentley is up early from his nap, so I better go check. Enjoy your day!
