NEW YEAR! NEW BLOG!

Ok..... not really a "new" blog. It's the same old blog: I am just going to TRY to be more purposeful in my blogging. I am not sure WHY, I just am. :)

So, another holiday season has come and gone. It was not as crazy and insane as past seasons, I must admit. EVEN with the addition of another child. I had my wrapping done more than one week BEFORE Christmas! I had made a few make-ahead meals and froze them so that I could enjoy the holidays and in the event that I had a potluck to head off too, I just pulled something from the freezer and popped it in the over (thanks for the tip, Robin!). I think I will do this more often. That is, when I am making something for dinner (soup, casseroles, sauces, etc) I will make double or triple the amount and freeze it for future use.

Also, I am getting back on the Weight Watchers train that I have seemingly fallen off of! I LOVE Weight Watchers. I LOVE my meetings. The best leader, the best group of people but seriously, I have gained weight this year instead of losing. MOST of it in the past 4 weeks but still....

I am in the midst of making plans to head to Orlando in March for a Supermom Weekend. The one other mom that I know in real life, I haven't seen in 20 years but I don't care. I am going and I am going to sit by the pool and do nothing for 3 days. :) Nirvana. Oh... I think I am the official Margarita holder for my friend, Corey, but other than that, I am doing nothing. :)
I am also in the middle of planning several mission trips/retreats for the youth group. I am the Minister to High School Youth at St. Paul's Church and also the co-chair for the NH Episcopal Diocese Youth and Young Adults so alot of planning needs to happen now that it is January!

Today is Monday. The kids are all back in school. It is quiet. I should be cleaning. I will. Eventually. That's what Mondays are for; cleaning and laundry. Not that I don't do those things every freakin' day.... Mondays are just the days that all the kids go away and I can clean without a mess being made right behind me so it stays clean for 5 minutes. So, I am off to do that.

Appointment later to see if the 8 year old broke her finger or not. I PROMISE TO BLOG TOMORROW!
