Breaks Over

No really it has been great, no school, no schedule, no certain bedtime, no alarms! We as in me and the boys have truly enjoyed the Christmas break, but as of this evening we are back to the rituals of bedtime stories and brushing teeth....yes we did skip I think a few nights well at least I know the kids did, we were bums! We lived in our pj's until we just had to shower and go elsewhere then are warm and cozy home, I think this is harder for me to give up then the kids! I actually felt depressed today knowing its back to the grind in the morning. I love sleep and my best sleep is early morning to 9 but in the real world 6:30a.m. will have to do! I have even mentioned homeschooling my three sons and I said it out loud to my FIL, he said REALLY no it was just a thought! Who am I kidding I can't keep them productive while on break they would be rotten if they were home all the time! There have been fights, bites, and timeouts galore but we have survived and would love to have another week off, but this is it! I have been running every week for the past nine weeks so that's the only structure I've retained and I have been fighting to give up but have made it through the holidays a few pounds heavier but I'm still running and will run tomorrow so wish me luck! There is a lot to come this year that we are planning on tackling and I'm sure there will be the unexpected also so lets make plans to plan for the unexpected too! I mean as much as you can! Good night all!

New Year...New Goals!!!

Well as you can see I lead a pretty busy life and the boys seem to take over every aspect so I am attempting to do more this year. More for God, more for my hubby(Scott), more for our boys, and more for me! As for the me part that includes: blogging, and running so far and maybe more reading if I can find time! I also want to be better a capturing our families daily and weekly activities on camera, it seems the only time I pull out the camera is a special events which don't take me the wrong way is ok but I would like more candid pictures and recordings as my dear hubby would say! We are trying to take time for each other and to even start running together I am excited but he is a whole lot faster than me and I am about a foot shorter so our strides are a bit different!! I recently started training for my first 5K and will be running in the Frosty 5K here in the lovely city of Cullman on Jan 8th so say a prayer because if your a mom you know things aren't the same as they were before kids...at least when it comes to running! I would love to continue running if my body will allow it as I am really starting to enjoy it besides the fact that it has been slightly colder than normal and I have never ran outside in the winter so this could be interesting!! Stay tuned or be afraid be very afraid lol!!
