I intended on posting this yesterday but got a little distracted. So instead of joining in miscellany monday I'm doing it on tuesday this week. Check out Carissa's sweet blog and join in yourself.
~1~ I am not one to make many resolutions at the start of a new year. I've learned that when I do I end up failing at most of them. So this year I decided to set weekly and monthly goals. I think that might be more manageable for me. We shall see. This week's goal is to organize our closet and clean out my dresser. {gulp} Overall goal of the month is to make our room a pleasant place to be. See, I tend to neglect the cleaning of our room. I work to keep the appearance of a clean house but since no one sees our room I figure it doesn't have to be neat. I am learning though that to have a happy relaxed husband our room needs to be in order too. So this month I am working on that. I am not brave enough to show you a before and after picture of this project but maybe the next one I will.
~2~ This past week we went back in time and got our first land line. Kind of weird to hear a phone ring. But I think I like it. I mean it is convenient when I misplace my cell phone to be able to grab it off the wall and call myself only to find out my cell was in my back pocket the whole time. (don't say you have never done that, please)
~3~Hubs went out and bought me an IPhone. I didn't really need an Iphone as I am sure most people don't need them but it is very nice to have. I am definitely having fun downloading all the couponing apps and can't wait to see what kind of savings will come from them! Speaking of, I am going to try and restart posting my bi-monthly menu plan on here again. Try being the key word. I would love to get more organized with menu planning and actually be able to have a list of go to meals for us. As of now, I do grocery shop and have a rough plan of what I will make each night but normally by the time dinner arrives I am trying to mix things up and reinvent dishes. For example, I decided it would be a great idea to cook up a bunch of chicken in the crockpot of stir-fry. Sounds like a good plan, right? But the problem is shredded chicken gives stir-fry way to weird of a texture making it totally un-enjoyable to eat. And you should enjoy eating. Lesson learned save the crock-pot shredded chicken for things like enchiladas and sandwiches.
~4~ LB has been on a major smoothie kick. He walks up to me multiple times a day and asks for a "soothie". I think his favorite part is watching the blender go around and around. I don't mind this kick though as I love smoothies and always like to sneak more healthy things in his diet. Lately I have been adding wheat germ to his smoothies and he hasn't noticed one bit.
~5~ Lastly, LB's back molars are coming thru. And these ones seem to be taking the longest of all. It has been about 3 weeks and I still only see the white of one trying to pop thru. Maybe that's why they call them the 2 year molars because they take forever to pop thru. Which means our house is full of a drooling toddler who on any given day can be running a fever and most likely has a fountain of snot pouring out his nose. Lovely right?
~6~ Oh wait one more thing. My mom got an apartment! I am so excited for her. I know she was just miserable living out of a tiny hole of a hotel room and now she will have a place to call home here. She has been getting a little depressed not having a home or job, now at least one of those is taken care of. If you think about it pray a job would come her way soon too. The one she had for a few days was awful and she had to leave, they were paying her pennies and expecting her to do way to much for them. So she had to quit. I don't blame her, I would have quit too.
Baby update still to come this week. Once I remember to have hubs take a picture of this belly. :)

I want to get a landline, because I hate losing my cell and having no means of communication. And that happens more often then you would think, ha!
ReplyDeleteTotally jealous of your iphone, please tell your Hubby to speak to my Hubby...asap...
Q just finished his 2 yr molars, and he's 3. It was torture, and actually there is one that is still only partially up. It completely messed with his sleep patterns. Boo on that.
Yay for your Mom getting an apartment!
