So far so good

We are only 9 days into the new year and I have made 2 crafts that i have pinned,. I am stoked. I haven't really started my "clean eating" dilemma, but I have eaten out 2 days in a row for lunch this week. *SIGH* But it is only the 9th day. Ill be more worried when December 2013 is creeping around and I still don't have half of my resolutions list completed.

I was ready. Like overly ready for Christmas break to be over. Success with Christmas. Kids were happy. Christmas dinner was great. And something I could eat daily. New Years Eve was great. Except I rang in the New Year alone. Josh was at work. Jill was in Oklahoma. Jaxon and Jessie were asleep by 930! *SIGH* At least we were full, warm and had a cozy bed to sleep in. I am grateful and blessed.

I should have added to my resolution list that I need to appreciate my home more. I don't like the neighborhood i live in, but should be thankful i am a part of one. Our house could use new siding and we need new windows, i should be thankful I have walls around me anyway. I feel like the walls are closing in on me, i need to be thankful we have alot of things. I don't like that the floors get dirty, i need to be thankful i have floors to clean.

All in all....i am happy with my life and my start to a new year. I am happy to see what this year brings for me and my family. Things may not always work out the way i want them too, and that's OK. I have accepted the fact that maybe i am not always in control, but you will be a lot better off if i am....

WE GOT MARRIED!!

My dear-to-my-heart little sister got married. September 4, 2012. To the man she met 6 years ago to the date. Love stories like that make me smile. And all though she was hesitant 6 years ago when i twisted her arm enough and forced her to set up a MySpace, in no time she met her husband. So I like to secretly think I had a hand in all this. After all the whole MySpace thing was my idea ;) Tim and Jennifer,          I am proud of the two of you. You are both very dear to my heart and always will be. Jennifer, you already know that you are the best little sister this girl could ask for. Tim, I have liked you from day one. And over the years I have grown to love you. You are the best person in the world for my sister. (after all she was able to avoid alot of crazies online after y'all met) HA HA!! I wish you guys many many many years of happiness! You guys are amazing together. And the best aunt and uncle to Jaxon. Love always!! Jessica

All is well...and everyone is home...

Jynx came home today. He has a cast over his pins. They ended up finding more wounds that needed stitches so he has 3 different sets of stitches on his leg and his paw is still really swollen. He is on 3 different pain meds as well. And we are still baffled as to what happened. Josh went to let him and the other dog out and came in for maybe 20 minutes...went back outside and Jynx was hurt. We have searched the backyard and garage but can not figure out what has happened. So who knows. Jynx isn't saying either! It was bad enough to have caused some small places to stitch and 6 pins worth. Its really sad. His little throat is dry from where they had the tube in his throat so he cant really whimper. And the other bad thing is, is we were going to take him to get groomed and now we have to wait 8 weeks! O well. I'm really glad that he is ok and it wasn't AS bad as it could have been and hes home now. Thank goodness for puppy insurance!!!!

When I was your age....

It's funny because I ran across this article about the gadgets kids have these days and the things they will not know existed....or even how they worked. A month or so ago I say to Josh..."Kids these days will never know what watching a TV with antennas will be like or how to rewind a cassette tape." Part of my childhood we had a TV we turned on with a set of pliers and would have to adjust the antennas depending on what channel we were watching out of the 5 we had. Caller ID didn't exist. Walkmans were huge!! You researched homework in an encyclopedia. You recorded shows on a VHS. There was actually a time before "reality TV". You never had the want or need to know what your friends were doing every minute of their day. You actually had to remember someones phone number. Neat Handwriting. Swimming pools with diving boards. Waiting for the #1 hit in the movies to make it to TV. Hershey bars in silver wrappers. Having to manually unlock car doors. Playing ou...
