It's a new year...

So I have had a great first week of 2010.

I had to readjust having Brock at work because he had been home from work for three weeks- which was NICE.

My house has not been as clean, but I am so happy to be home. It surprises me because there have been quite a few times when I have looked for jobs or hobbies or something to get me out of the house- and since Tessa's arrival I have been thrilled just to stay home and hang out with my three girlies.

Time will tell if this lasts- but I will take this time of happiness and contentment and be grateful.

By the way I DO have some resolutions...

I tend to go a little OVERBOARD with resolutions and have a hard time keeping track of them, let alone just keeping them.

So this year my resolution is to

simplify.

I will try to do what I must do the best that I can.

And the stuff I don't have to do- I won't do.

So, no lofty goals of learning how to sew or speak French.

I will just try to do what I am already doing better.

Does that make sense?

Probably not, but that's ok too. :)

So what did we do on new year's eve?

We painted our family room.

I said goodbye to my lime green wall- I love that wall.

I picked that color on a freaking out whim- when I decided my house was TOO BROWN.

It did the trick.

Nobody noticed the brown- just my green wall.

Thank you green wall.

Now it is blue.

Much more soothing don't ya think?

By the way... don't judge my shirt.

Annie caught it at a basketball game.

I don't cheer for whoever is playing Utah.

That's just plain ridiculous...

So wish me luck with my resolutions...

to doing what I already do...well better.

Oh and don't worry,

I will still be blogging...because I must.

phew.
