WOW!

I love reading all of the NEW YEAR blogs!!! Reading about everyone's accomplishments and summaries of the past year & then their dreams & goals for the new one. I have managed to keep up my LOAD so far! YAY! (hoping to run up & snap usable photos in a bit) & of course I have taken ATLEAST 1 photo each day for my 12 in 12 challenge(jo I might need some hand holding on this one later).

I had a chiro appt yesterday evening HOLY COW WAS I OUT. I am so sore today from getting everything moved around -I think I will be a monthly visitor in her office for a while until Iget everything retrained. She would only do down to my shoulder blades b/c I was so out-basically everything between my neck & shoulder blades went crack when she applied pressure, then she struggled & struggled w/my neck, massaging & manipulating muscles & finally resorted to the 'mini-jack-hammer' to get the last one In THEN on to the 3 RIBS that were out OMG!!!! SERIOUS OUTAGES!!! She THINKS I MIGHT have some tension HAHAHAHAH! WHAT A SWEETY! ;) altho once she found out I do child care she raved about how I deserve a medal & more pay & on & on. She really appreciates her provider! LOVE THAT!!

Tim had Chili ready when I got home-live & learn situation -he'd bought a 'just add tomato sauce + meat' packet & it wasn't that good. back to his homemade! after I ate, I cleaned the kitchen & hit my room. So inspired yesterday by everyone's LOAD that I had to scrap!! I was able to arrange the photos but was stuck on product so I took a bath! soak+shower lasted an hour & 40 minutes total PRUNEY!!!!! HAHAH but wow was it wonderful quiet time :) Just me & my magazine soaking in the fabulous Muscle Soak bath salts from my Aunt MMMMMMMMMM Then I was able to use the cricut (thanks again Tim!! I think I have used it on every LO since I got it!) & did a set of pages JUST ABOUT THE PHOTOS! NO product-Cm pages & one of those 12" Photo strips that were so popular a few years ago. THAT'S IT!!! Totally inspired by Becky Higgins' LOAD for yesterday-http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/ .

Today the kids all go back to school & preschool! ROCK ON!!!! I love love love having them here for Winter break HOWEVER its always good to get back to routine! I am always looking fwd to Summer vacation & then by August I am ready for them to go back to school.. not to get them out of here but by then I realize I am NOT a school teacher & they have sapped all of my educational & organizational ability in 2 short months LOL I love routine, but I love a change in it occassionally too. Our Spring break is Good Friday & the Monday after so not much to brag about so nothing *I* look fwd to.

I have nothing PLANNED for today-just hanging out w/the little ones getting them back into the routine of just them & me :) Tonight is my night to cook supper (want something we haven't had in a while but not sure what, open to suggestions!!), then I have Katie & Tommy's photo shoot-her first pg belly shots!!! soooo excited :) we will do some in front of their Christmas Tree so she can get it down, then some in the nursery. After that w/a cup of hot cocoa, I hope to do another page or 2.. love Jo's pocket page (http://darljo.blogspot.com/) for cards-that would make Tim happy-he's sick of them on the wall GRINCH!!!! lol so maybe I'll put one together tonight as my LOAD for today.

ok-I think that's enough jabber for now- LETS KICK IT!!
