Things I want to do this year.

1. Read more books not related to being a better, stronger, mature mother.  It's not that I am suddenly a supermom and don’t' need anybody else's recommendations on motherhood, I just need a change.  I am off to a good start with this one.  I just finished reading a Walk in the Woods.  I highly recommend this.
2. Cook better meals for my family.  This involves some organization skills on my part.  I need to make a list of all the items I need from the food store before going.  Making this list involves knowing what we will be having for dinner every night.  This one will be a challenge.  I tend to wonder around the food store grabbing items that never really  come together to make one great meal.
3. Cut my children's hair more often.  This has never been a priority for me especially since for so long they didn’t have much hair to cut.  I now often notice them constantly attempting to remove the hair that has grown into their field of vision.
4. Send out the 2007 Christmas cards before Christmas 2008.  This is the first year I decided to send out cards and here they still sit in my house unwritten, unaddressed, unsent.
5. Run 2 miles without stopping once.  This may seem easy for most people but not me.  I have never in my life been able to run.  I have struggled with asthma most of my life and couldn't run 2 minutes without feeling like I was dying.  This will be a challenge especially pregnant and then with 3 kids.  I like to set my goals high.

When you're tired...

you're tired.

The Answer is No.

To my friends and family who I know read this and have been asking.  I will not find out the gender of our baby.  Like the other two, this one will also be a surprise, wouldn't want it any other way.

Dinner Conversation

At dinner Korben asked this question, Did someone shoot out some gas?  I smell something.

Daddy: Not me.
Kenzie: Not me.
Mama: Not me.
Korben: I think maybe I did.

Mystery Solved.

Interesting Question

Kenzie asked me a very interesting question this morning.  I found that I didn't have a great intuitive answer for her.

Mama, Why do my pajamas have pockets?

I mean really, why do they?  Makes no sense to me.

A Warm January

Today is January 8th and it was 68 degrees today. Yeah that’s right 68! The sun felt so wonderfully glorious these last couple days that I am scared of what’s to come… and I know it’s a comin’… the cold, the snow, the ice. Until then I am so enjoying every single moment of outside time. I love warm weather!
