Wow!

It amazes me that someone can stand there and call someone else a coward and then not even sign a name to their comments! I would say that if you have something to say that you should have the balls to say it with your name associated with any comments you might have.

How do they do it?

I see these women who have one, two or sometimes more children. They are cute, well-dressed and look very put together. They are organized. Their kids are involved in activities and they are doing mommy events and their house looks great and their job is great and I want to scream!! How Do They Do It? I feel like my house is ALWAYS a mess! I can barely put foundation on let alone any other makeup or fix my hair. How is it that these women are able to juggle all these things without dropping anything?!?!

Organize Everything!!!

Okay so for my New Year's resolution to organize everything I have decided to start with my daughter's room since she has soooo many new Christmas toys.

1. I purchased a nice bookcase from onestepahead.com that could later move out into the living room and fit just fine without looking like my house is designed by a 6 year old!

2. I also got a net to hang to hold her stuffed animals. She loves them and I think they are clutter so this is the best compromise that I could come up with!

3. I bought underbed storage for her clothes in the next two sizes up so they are taking up much less closet space!

Anyone with any other ideas, please let me know!

New Year's Resolutions

Okay so here is my New Year's Resolution list;

1. Be more organized!!
2. Do more crafts
3. Attend church EVERY Sunday, not just when I feel like it.
4. Try monthly cooking
5. Pay down Debt
6. Quit smoking
7. Workout 3 times a week

I often wonder if I might actually do my New Year's Resolutions if I had less of them but then I figure the chances of doing at least one of them if the list is long is probably better too!!

Almost Christmas!

Well it's almost Christmas!! I am sooooo excited for Leilani's first Christmas where she will actually be involved in the opening of her presents! Her dad and I went in together on purchasing a play house for the back yard and I am just sure she's going to love it! If, that is, I can get some help getting it set up before Christmas morning LOL. I would have to say that the holiday hasn't been easy dealing with a divorce at the same time as going through the holiday but I think we have handled things pretty well and are doing just fine on our own! I have currently been thinking of my new year's resolutions. I want to be a better person, mother, girlfriend, friend, daughter that sometimes it's all very overwelming!! I have one more week to ponder and plan, Any ideas?

WOW It's been awhile

Okay so it has definately been awhile since I've posted. Updates, updates......where to begin really?!? Well, no longer married and trying to do the single parent thing has been quite a learning experience so let's start there. My daughter's father decided when she was about 10 months old that he had made a mistake and growing up was not something he was ready to do yet. So, he moved out and moved in with a friend of his and he plays daddy 4 days a month. Meanwhile, I have been cooking, cleaning, teaching, learning, giving baths, dealing with everyday tantrums and starting to work on potty training!! I have to admit there are days where I just want to crawl back in bed and sleep until I can't sleep anymore but for the most part, I still love what I do everyday. I have decided that I need to be WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY more organized though to make it on my own with all the things I need to get done in one day. So I am on the lookout for some online help for organizing my suddenly very busy and crazy life!! Any ideas????
