Change is in the air.....

I have been having "Bloggers Block" if there is such a thing. I still am kinda. But now I am writing in here so I guess I have something to say?
Well I said about a month ago that I could feel change a coming. Still not sure in what way, shape or form. Lots going on around me. The lots O' things are really being highlighted by sadness and uncertainty.
Myself I reveal in uncertainty cause life is just that way, you know? And if their were to be a lesson in all of this, it might be just that, uncertainty.
We can't plan it, we can't change it and we can't expect it. Pretty simple right? Well if this is simple to you let me know how you do it cause I could use some pointers!!

Life is just that way and it gets pretty shitty sometimes. But uncertainty keeps me guessing and growing:) Hug your loved ones tighter and for gawd sakes give yourself a break.

New Years Reso-whaaat?

Happy 2012 folks!!

My 2011 highlights:

  • Meeting my biological father. 
  • My brother graduating from college!
  • Becoming a stay at home Mom
  • Being married 5 years to most amazing man ever!
  • Passing all my thousands of tests and finding out I am just crazy:)
  • Cortisone shot in my SI joint was a game changer!!! 
I am sure I am forgetting something...please tell me if I have.


So I don't do resolutions. I think that they are a crock of shit and a marketing scam for exercise equipment and gym memberships.
I do however embrace the unknown and newness. Sure my resolution list might look like this:

  • loose weight 
  • stop smoking
  • cut out sugar 
  • exercise more 
  • watch less t.v. 
  • read more
  • start a business
  • blah, blah, blah.....

.....But lets face it. I have a hard time doing this all year long what is so different about the New Year!!
Don't let me discourage you from something that might motivate you to make some changes. But don't torture yourself and don't be disappointed if your new treadmill turns into a towel rack:)

Embrace that you are pretty awesome no matter what. And really challenge yourself and start working out in June so when the New Year rolls around you can say " Take that reso-whaat, I already did it!!"

And the winner is....

.....Day 2 Day Mama! Thanks for your awesome support! The name was kinda growing on me anyway:)
My thoughts behind Day 2 Day Mama is that we really only have each day. Enjoy your life and your children. All they need is love:)
I thrive in imperfection. Life is unpredictable and should be lived with out expectations for yourself and others. 
So parents unite! Share your own triumphs and trials. And love your children for who they are. They grow up WAY to fast! Happy New Year!
