Happy January Dates to...

Happy New Year, Everyone! So wonderful to see you all on this side of the holiday season =) Our New Year started pretty quietly with Mom & Steph ringing it in with us. Steph's birthday was on the 6th. Mom took the day off and they came over for Chinese food and I made cupcakes for her 'cake', from sratch, including the icing :>. On the 8th, we had our Leeney Christmas gathering. I had a terrible allergic reaction to my Aunt's cats I had to take 2 benadryl and 2-1/2 days later, I'm stll feelin' the affects of that dang medicine! As you know, if I can avoid taking something, I absolutely do but I had to take 2 bens because my lips were tingling and puffing up and I was having some difficulty breathing :( Before we even left, my eyes itched more than I have felt in a looooong time! When Mom turned about 40, her increasingly worse allergies turned into asthma and she now even carries an epipen around in case she has a bad reaction to something (especially bees! Thank GOD she hasn't had to use it so far!) So, since I'm in my late 30's, I figure I better get to the doc and start discussing things on record. Besides that, I am still trying to get Christmas down but have been so tired it's dragging on. Hopefully by my next update things will finally be back to normal! :^>
My goal for this year is to be more mindful in my relationships, my home, and myself. I don't want to take anything for granted anymore and I want everyone and everything around me, especially including me, to know how much I value, appreciate, and love them!
Happy 2011. May all that you want for yourself this year be yours!

What a great visit we had yesterday with Jimmy Pace! It's the first time since we moved that he was able to come out and also the first time we've seen him in just over 3 years!!!! He was in town because he was visiting his new girlfriend, Judy, who is a real sweetheart! Jimmy's planning on moving to Chicagoland in the near future and though he'll be 70 miles away, it sure will be a heck of a lot closer than Boston or New Hampshire =)

Happy February Dates to….
Happy Valentine’s Day | Us (11yrs together) | Jake | *Me* | Johnny Fox | Alan | Carlos
Hello, February and thanks for bringing this blizzard with ya :> They've been reporting for the last couple days that we could expect 18-24" of snow and gusting winds. Well, we DEFINITELY got the wind thing going on! And we've already got quite a bot of snow so we'll see what the morning shows us. It took John 2-1/4 hours to get home today (usually takes around 1hr) and he's planning on staying hoe tomorrow so that God for that! Hopefully the weather will be calmed down and we can all head outside for some fun snow time before lunch :)
On a more personal not, I've decided to stop beating myself up about my weight. I can finally admit to myself that my weight is not who I *am*. Who I am is a loving, caring person with a lot of talent. All beating myself up does is make me more depressed and feeling like I'll never get this weight off,. It's definitely gonna be a lot of work and feel like a struggle more than not but I am sooo worthy of being the person I truly am. My children are worthy of the mom they are meant to have, the happy, playful mom who doesn't care what people think of her when she's being silly with her children. My husband deserves the me that is expressive and calmer and not so angry and sad all the time. Yes, my journey is a long one but I can do it!

Happy March Dates to….

Hi March! I hope you're bringing Spring our way SOON!!!!
Thursday, March 3rd 2011
Wow, the month sure went fast! Well, I'm sure that was helped along by me being sick for a MONTH!!!! It started with allergies/sinus the day before my birthday and the next day I woke up with laryngitis that lasted for 2 solid weeks and a horrible cough that literlly took a month to clear up! Looking back, I bet I had bronchitis or something like that.
So anyway, what else happened since the last update? Well, we did end up getting that blizzard! About 23" in some spots! Also, Jamie conquered his insecurities about the play place at McDonald's and now climbs ALL over that bad boy :) Catie cut her first 2 teeth just after my birthday and now has nearly 6 (the top two are coming in now). It's so unny, usually the first 2 teeth to come in are the bottom middle but Catie got her bottom right middle and the one to the right of that! then the mirrored ones came in (yes, both sets two at a time!). At least the top 2 are coming in together :)
I think I finally have my plan settled for the upstairs bedrooms as well. Jamie's room is gonna become a playroom/computer room and they'll both share Catie's room. I am hoping to have everything squared away by Jamie's birthday but now that everyone - yes even my Er!!!! - I really want to get it done by Easter. Wonder if I can??!!
