Busy Busy

Things have been or seemed crazy this week. Great football on Sunday, shopping marathon on Monday, 3 hours of walking Wednesday, playroom rearranging Thursday.

I started and finsihed Jeff`s presents on Monday. I was hoping to stay away from my usual comic books and movies. I managed but found it difficult not to simply head for what was easy. While there we stopped at Addition Elle so I could find something to spend my birthday gift card on. What a disaster.

I know that I`ve put on weight but it was the kick in the pants I really needed. Jeff and I have started operation downsize. We need to get healthier for us and our kids. Right now our focus is on breaking our bad habits like snacking in the evenings, huge portions and little exercise. We`ve started walking more to conserve gas but it has it`s bonuses. I plan on working 30 minutes of exercise a day. I`d love to go lane swimming but it`s difficult to do when you need someone to watch the kids.

This weekend Jeff`s dad is supposed to come and fix the ceiling/roof in the broken room. With done we can have a bedroom back and put the tree up. We rearranged the playroom with the more space in mind. I'm loving the new set up and will be loving it a whole bunch more once the king sized bed is gone.

Yesterday our new family addition arrived. Sassy is here. She seems to be adjusting well, we've been giving her space to relax. The girls are doing fairly well. They are trying to tell us that they are scared but mostly it's to avoid doing a job. She's currently curled up sleeping on my bed. It's rather lovely.
