And so my 30 day challenge begins...

Today, my alarm went off much, much earlier than I expected. 5:30 am always comes a lot faster than we expect, no? Ugh. I woke up cursing myself for not going to bed earlier the night before, and promising myself (as I stumbled into the shower) to make up for my lack of sleep tonight. The rest of the morning went about as smooth as anyone could hope for. The kids were happy, and I even had time to pack my lunch (this never happens!!!). It was a good start. Work tends to go by pretty fast. I work a little, chit chat with our tenants here and there, work a little more, chit chat some more...I do this all the way till the end of my work day. Believe it or not, I do actually get quite a bit of work done this way because my brain doesnt get fried.

The only thing that made today a little different than usual was the boring eye exam I had scheduled. One of my New Year Resolutions was to "make time" for myself. I know an eye exam hardly seems like " Me Time" but I am taking care of myself and that is a working progress. A year ago I would have just ignored my blurry vision until it was convinient (aka never). I am glad I went, turns out, I only have ONE bad eye. If I wanted, I could get A Contact or a pair of glasses. Ha-ha I totally got a kick out of the Doctor telling me that.

Right now, I am lying in bed with Issy. The littlest one is already in bed. I made them spagetti for dinner, which is their absolute favorite meal. I am just waiting for Mother Family, and then I am hitting the sack. =) Good night!

P.S. the picture below, is an oldie but goodie! This picture was taken when Issy was just two years old. It made me smile. I hope it makes you smile too.
