Check please!......

I hate to admit, but today isn't running any smoother than yesterday. I do have to say, my kids were really good on my little jaunt to Sam's Club. I didn't however, get anything accomplished before we left, and after we got back, all hell broke loose again. It was like any other trip. I pulled in the garage, got the kids out, unloaded the car, and started lunch. (*Note to self: I should have just bought lunch at Sams Club and avoided this disaster all together) I put the baby in her high chair and started some water on the stove for some macaroni and cheese. As I attempt to put away the couple things I still had out, I hear a crash behind me. The baby has pulled the curtain rod out of the wall. (Silly mommy, you're not supposed to leave the curtains where the baby can get them). Of course I leave my post at the stove and run to the baby to make sure the curtain rod didn't hit her. Luckily it didn't, but I forgot to turn the stove down after I dumped in the macaroni, so now the water on the stove is boiling over. Oh well, I guess I needed to clean the stove again anyway. I forgot to mention when I moved the pot I set it on a little piece of egg I had missed in my hastiness to get to the store, so when I returned it to the hot burner there was a tiny piece of egg on the bottom of the pan. This made my house smell amazing I must say! Nothing better than the smell of burnt egg! You can't make this stuff up people! Well the good news I did manage to get the children fed. The baby is now down for a nap. The big kids are watching the Lion King. I've vented, and can hopefully accomplish something before the hubby gets home and we have to start all over again. Maybe I can get the stove cleaned off, as long as I don't get on pinterest. :) I hope your day is going smoother than mine, but let's face it......this is about as smooth as mine get. If mommyhood was a restaurant, I'd definitely ask for the check and call it a day! Too bad it's only a little after 3:00. I don't know about your restaurant, but ours doesn't close until about 8:30!

I'm already behind......

The idea for this blog came to me sometime in December. I thought it would be a motivator to actually accomplish my resolutions....maybe. As you can see, thus far it hasn't helped. In my head I saw myself staying up, watching the ball drop, and waking up at 6am the next morning to start off the new year in a productive way. Well, that didn't happen. I hope all my plans don't follow the same pattern. Do you have to start resolutions on the first? I planned to start eating healthy, but last night I polished off some Hershey candy cane kisses and this morning I've had a diet coke and some popcorn. Oh well, I have to have something to strive for next month, right? Let's just make this month my organization month, and NEXT month my eat healthy month. I don't know if I've ever written down my resolutions because then I can just say...oops I forgot, I'll try that one next year. Well this year in an attempt to be more productive I guess I'll write them down.

2012 Resolutions
1. Be a better wife to my husband
2. Be a better mom to my kids
3. Be a better housekeeper
4. Get organized
5. Eat healthier (I know)
6. Exercise at least 4 days a week
7. Have a date night with my hubby at least once a month.
8. Be better at thank you cards/birthdays/etc.

Eight sounds like a good number. I probably shouldn't attempt any more than that seeing that I've already been impatient with the kids, I'm behind on laundry, and well, I've confessed my eating habits. I look back on last year and think...Really? You couldn't have done any better than that? You've had a year to get used to having three kids and your still this frazzled? The answer is yes. My best friend is the most amazing woman I know. She told me when I was pregnant..."oh, you just wait." I thought she was trying to scare me. She was right. I get it now. She however, has it together and is pregnant with her fourth. She wasn't kidding when she said three kids was an adjustment! I'm still adjusting a year later! Hopefully this is my year. I'm going to get it together! I can feel it! I think. I hope. Be good to me 2012! Gosh....I'm tired already!
