Well, looks like I’ve taken a couple weeks off and there were reasons for this. I found myself having quite the bad attitude the last couple of weeks. I found myself grumpy and, well, on December 26th I found myself without a boyfriend. BOOOO, twinmother05 got dumped.

Hey, it happens…but you know, heartbreaks sucked when I was in high school, college and news flash people they still suck as an adult. Ok, so without gettin into too much detail…the waters are still murky. After a few days wallowing in self-pity…this very moment I have decided to stop…it’s actually THIS precise moment that it has stopped.

It’s funny, but in these last few days EVERYTHING that has happened has seemed so “end of the world.” In my more positive days it wouldn’t have been much of a big deal. The following things occurred that made me think the WHOLE UNIVERSE was against me… my toaster, my lamp, window blinds, dvd player all broke in a 48 hour period.  Yes, I know AWFUL.

Okay, Okay… see, I can tell things are getting better because these things do NOT seem like that big of a deal and my children and I will most likely live through it and anything else that comes.

Christmas Joy!

Also, I think a lot of this doom and gloom attitude has to do with those winter blahs I’m always hearing about.

I really don’t want to have a bad attitude, so I’m thinking I should consider some things that can help me stay on the right track.

These are NOT resolutions…remember, I dont do those..haha

• Exercise.  Its been too cold for me to run outside, so I need to find another way.  Looks like I will be using my friend’s treadmill.
• Cut out sweets.  I am absolutely addicted to sweets..sugar, mmmm me love you.  I’m actually a bit of a snack whore, yep I said it, but I can’t think of a better word.  I need to start bringing healthy alternatives to work, because that is where I’m most tempted.
• Keep journaling…when I am a little upset, writing about it helps so much.  I think I have journaled every day for the past two weeks.
• Hangout with friends more. I tend to not balance that into my life, and I think it is so important to keep supportive women in your life.
• Cut back caffeine.  I have been having a very hard time falling asleep later, and I think it is because of this.

Like I said, these are not resolutions, just things I’m trying to think about. I know, I know, they sure do sound like resolutions, but they aren’t, so shut it. muahahahahh.

Small Things in Life

My kids did have a wonderful Holiday.  Christmas morning my mother called me to say she found a giant red velvet bag of presents left outside her door.  There was no note, just presents wrapped with my children’s names on it.  I don’t know who did this, but thank you!  This was such a wonderful surprise.

I have so many things to be thankful for.  I don’t want to ever appear ungrateful, but sometimes I have a few bad days.  It happens.  My son got his wheelchair and other supplies that will hopefully make life easier for him.  He was thrilled.  It wasn’t a bad day, not at all!
