Happy '08

I can't believe it's 2008. Where is time going? I remember being young and a year seemed to last forever, and now I blink and a year is gone. It's been like that for a while now. I think I'm getting old!

I was thinking of resolutions with the new year. I usually don't make any, too easy to break, but I think I may try a couple this year. First, I want to work on simplifying my life. I have lots going on all the time and that can't be helped, but I also bring some of it on without needing too. So, I am going to try and get rid of the things that are not really important to me. We'll see how this people pleaser does with that. It could be a real challenge! My other resolution is to lose some of this baby weight that I am still carrying around. After all, my baby will be 2 in May! I have a good reason, with 2 weddings in 2 weeks next fall. First, my brother on Sept. 27 and then Nate's brother on Oct. 11. I want to enjoy shopping for a dress for them during the summer months. Wish me luck on my goals, and we'll see if I still have resolutions come Feb. 1.

Anyway, it was back to work today. I enjoyed sleeping in (if that's what you call 7:30 -- with little ones it is) a little too much. 4:30 came way too early today and I felt sleepy all day as I listened to my students read. Sigh... I guess it's only 2 more days until the weekend right? Shelby didn't want vacation to end either, when I went to wake her up this morning, she told me "Mommy, I'm still sleeping!"

I thought the girls were on the mend from their colds and ear infections today until Sarah woke up this morning with a yucky eye. That usually means ear infection for her. I am going to see how she wakes up in the morning and then decide if I need to call the Dr. again.

As you can tell, I didn't have much to tell, but wanted to say something.
