So far nothing has changed

Well I posted my last blog and wondered if a New Year was going to be a new me - so far I'm in the same ruts I've been in for the last 7 months. I really need something to kick me in the butt yet I haven't figured out what that needs to be. I'm hoping this slight warm up we're having today and tomorrow with help.


Tomorrow night we're hosting a get together before the new semester starts and I'm looking forward to that - I really like having get togethers :) I guess it gives me something to look forward to for once.


I've had an idea of how I can try to jump start my business in this area but have I done anything to follow through with it, of course not. I wish I could just get everything done in a day I want to get done - that would be nice but I'm not very optimistic of that happening especially seems how I only have 2 hours to get everything done. Last night I was trying to clean and the more I got stuff picked up I noticed the more Kiefer was getting out - I have decided that's why I definitely clean only when they are at school. I miss them being able to go outside and play so I'd get more time to myself. With it being cold they don't like going outside especially Emali she does not like snow. Plus with our wind chills it's been to cold to even let them go outside. I am looking forward to next week - Alex won't have any homework because he has the week off so that means I won't be the only parent for the night - that's the thing I hate about being a work from home Mom the most is you never get a break. When we were up in MI for the holidays I went shopping with my sister for a whole day that was wonderful - I felt like I was really getting a break for once, I used to feel like I got them once in a while when we lived there because the kids would stay the night at my parents house - but I don't get that anymore and lately I've really been missing it as I notice my patients growing shorter and shorter with the kids. Yeah I have 2 hours a day but I never relax or just enjoy myself during those 2 hours I'm always doing something.


This past week the kids didn't have school on Friday because with the windchill it felt like -25 after Alex got out of school we went grocery shopping - it's the first time in months that we've all went grocery shopping together (I usually do this after dropping Kiefer off at school) Alex was quite impresses at how frugal I've gotten - I've really become a coupon shopper. I have to with living off student loans.


Okay this is turning into not such a happy note I guess so I'm just going to leave it with a picture of Kiefer after he got a strike at his birthday party at the bowling alley.
