New Year

I have not blogged in a long time......Have been busy. My father got sick in November and ever since than it has been a crazy last couple of months. Spokane has had record snow in the month of December, which made the kids get out of school two days early for Christmas vacation. They just went back as of today. We have been having huge ice melts. My stress level has been greatly reduced. Not that I do not love my kids being home. I do so, but I love the peace and quiet and time to myself.

I do not like News Years resoloutions, they seem to never to stick for me. Instead I have goals. My faith is important, but I have to say that it has not been on my top five. BUT, ever since my dad got sick it made me change the way I am thinking. I am grateful that he was not taken away. I am also very grateful for my family and friends that I have. Over the year I gained a little to much weight. My goal is to get fit and eat a little bit more healthy. Goal weight is to lose 25 pounds. It is going to be tough but I think I can do it. Being more organized is a top one for me. Frugal, has never been me, but I have been inspired to try. Not saying that I am not still going to the gap, etc., but cut down my spending. Will see how it goes.

Blogging is very new to me so I hope I do not sound like I am rambling.

Good Job Dana....back in the blogging saddle! Sounds like you are getting super motivated. I don't call them resolutions either...mine are more like good intentions. That way I don't feel so guilty if I don't quite get there
