Making Changes

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1....HAPPY NEW YEAR!

For my New Years resolutions...

• To be a better house wife
• To be a better mother
• Pay bills off
• Lose weight
• Develop balance in my life (schedule myself better)

1. Being a better house wife and mother:
   

Drew went to Colorado for a week and a half and I didn't think I could miss someone so bad but while he was gone I took that time to get our crazy house in order...organize and seriously clean...thanks to the help of my very best friends Todd and Abbey! At least the upstairs and I am still working out the kinks in our dungeon basement!!! Before Drew left the house was a wreck...dirty laundry...dirty dishes...um...dirty everything. I hate feeling that out of control I feel like a bad mom and wife and I fall into depression. So like I said my friend Abbey helped me out and we got my house clean! To a normal house wife this sounds silly... I know... but I have been spending more time with my kids, the house is clean and being cleaned on a regular schedule! Instead of sitting on my butt when the kids take a nap I do a load of laundry, wash dishes or sweep! I feel so much better about myself and Drew doesn't have to stress when he gets home from work!

2. Losing Weight:
Well we are still working on that... I have a minor addiction to food, so that's a slow process, but I did give up pop for almost 2 weeks....thanks to inspiration from Abbey!

3.Paying bills off:
Well we are working on that too! Its another slow process and well we have had a few bumps but we can do it! I have been begging Drew to cut hours down or to quit his second job...prayers answered.... his hours got cut and now I get to see my honey more!!! Drew has been begging me to quit my job at auto Liv and they have been doing some layoffs. Our company ZDD didn't get it so Drew wanted me to quit... as I was thinking what I would say to my boss... the phone rang....we got laid off!!!! YES! Another prayer answered (goes to show that Heavenly Father does listen) We are spending more time as a family and cutting back on unnessicaries!

4. Developing Balance:
Amy has been trying to help me out with getting my life in order cause of my recent senior moments and losing things. I found Drew's debit card...Abbey found my wedding ring and we are still looking for my car keys....baby steps...baby steps! With the house being organized its not hard to find what my scatter brain leaves behind! We have our kids on a set schedule and life is good!
Thank you to all of you that help me out!!!
