New Year New Commitment.....from a Blog Slacker

It's a new year, it's time for a new commitment to this blog. 

 I am officially a blog slacker....a blacker or I prefer slogger.....

I will kick off this new year by committing to blog at least once a week...(frankly unless something huge happens I might not be that interesting).

I will get back in shape...I've rounded out 6 lbs heavier from holiday activities.  Most of which included large amounts of food, wine, and cookies.  

I will do something with our master bedroom.

I will finish the kitchen in my new house.   

But let's kick off the new year with a laugh.  Check out this story about picking your battles:

Sometimes Children Look Cuter in the Pictures

The Two Trouble Makers

     Yesterday, it poured....not rained,  poured.   I had to put my Caden & Morgan in a wagon,  with umbrellas to walk up to school to pick up my oldest from school.  This picture was snapped as I loaded them in.  How precious!  Within moments of this photo, all hell broke loose.  There was fighting, yelling, biting, who's hitting who with the umbrella.   Each one telling me that the other one is mean, that they don't like each other.  All the things mothers don't talk about going down in one green wagon.    Not to mention, as the wagon puller,  my arm was soaked.  I was yelling to stop fighting, biting, and everything else.   I was dreaming of a glass of wine.  It was a huge mess.  
   However, I realized that years from now,  they will love this picture of them in the wagon.  They won't remember what a huge mess this was, the fighting, the biting, the screaming ... and hopefully neither will I.

Here's to Hope,
