My 1st post of 09

I am having a harder and harder time getting here to talk to everyone- partly because #1. I can't leave the kids alone and when they are sleeping- I have other things to do, and #2. Partly because I am losing my motivation to be on the computer. So... we'll see how long I can keep this up- or if I get the motiviation back to keep it up.

 

So whats new?? Not much I guess. This break has been great. I have loved having Jake and Andy home with us during the day. I will really miss them both on Monday when they are at work and school, and I am sure Justin and Ryan will miss them too. We have been keeping busy getting organization for the buttload of toys they brought in for  Christmas... (Lisa- we got the same Ikea drawers that are in your basement...fell in love w/them at Christmas!!) We made it out to the Como Zoo a few days ago, and then yesterday we went to Chuck-E-Cheeses for a few hours. Tonight, we got a babysitter and went to the Mall of America. We went to Famous Daves, Archivers and Maurices. Jake even got some shopping in at Sears and Radio Shack. So it was a busy but fun week and a half! I dont want it to end!!

What else is new? There may finally be an answer to the past 8-9 years of side/kidney pain I have felt...which may be the most exciting news yet. The downside is another surgery to fix it...but it will be worth it...whenever it happens. I had the stent taken out and now I just wait for the pain to come back- then call him (Maybe for some reason I can hope it wont come back...but hahahahah). When I was online looking up what he told me he thought it might be...It was so right on I was actually almost crying. You might think of that as overreacting- but after feeling like I will just have to live with this and never know what it is...this was the weirdest feeling...a weight off my shoulders. So yippie for that.

My next class starts on the 12th. I dont know how it will go- but I am sure it will be fine. I am excited and overwhelmed at the same time.

And last- I am going to start being better at things. No, this is not a new years resolution. I dont do those. This is just stuff that I want to do. Mostly- just being more organized with everything and trying to work out and eat better. I have great motivation from my hubby who hasnt had a can of pop for a month now and...And it totally shows! Good job baby!!! So- tonight I did pilates and I plan on being on the treadmill more. I say that on here because if people know I am doing that... I will be more likely to keep up on it. If I just think it in my head that I will do it- I will be more likely to skip out :) So... there we go. That is what is going on. A whole lot of everything and nothing all at the same time!

I have some pictures that I need to download and then get the time to put them on here... so who knows when and if that will be...but I have good intentions to do it- just like I meant to do Christmas Cards. Hahaha....and you all know how that didnt happen.

Now since it's 1:11 in the morning and the kids will be up bright and early- it is off to bed with me (for a few hours of sleep anyway!)
