Haha. This made me chuckle, then snort, then nearly choke on my gum :)

Side Tracked Home Executives
Years ago, when I had sissy, my Mom gave me some books called Side Tracked Home Executives. They talk about a routine to keep your house cleaned and organized. I read a little, and got distracted with all my surgeries, cancer, and various other health issues.
A few weeks ago, I came across the books again, and decided now would be the perfect time to get started on it.
I have struggled to get things under control since I had Little Man, and have been feeling overwhelmed since we moved. I am so tired, and it's hard to stay motivated, and keep up with things.
I tweaked their system a bit, and simplified it, but overall, I have been really happy with it. It's a great feeling to go to bed each night, with the majority of the house clean.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling to come up with a routine that works for them.

CF Scare
For the last month and a half, we have living with the scare that little man has cystic fibrosis effecting his pancreas. Did you even know there was such a thing? I sure didn't!
It has been pretty scary. CF means a life of illness, pain, and an early terrible death. I haven't slept (not that little man would let me anyway), and have been sick with worry.
I was pretty ticked off to find out, when I called to schedule his testing, that the craptastic GI we saw before this new one, tested him for it, but didn't tell anyone, or put it in any notes. A YEAR AGO! They found it in the notes from the lab. I am upset that he didn't tell us that he already tested for it, or that he didn't have it. I am greatly relieved that he does not have it. The GI thinks he still has a pancreatic disease still, just one that is less terrible than CF.
More to come on that...
In the mean time, no church til Spring, no Nursery for another year, he'll be on special formula only, for AT LEAST 6 more months (2nd birthday), but probably until he is 4, and he is now on 10, yes, 10 meds daily. My poor little man!

Beginning again...
I gave myself a week off from my diet/exercise for the holiday... I gained 10 lbs. No lie. I actually did. Sad thing was, I ate pretty healthy....
So I am at it again, calorie counting, and working out as much as I can. We'll see how it goes. Hub's family is doing a biggest loser contest for the next couple months. We'll see how it goes....

Nativity Nightmare
On Christmas Eve we attempted, and failed to act out the Nativity with the kids.
It's funny now....

What I'm reading...
I don't have much time to read these days, but I took the kids to the library yesterday, and decided to pick up a book for myself.
I'm super excited to read this! So far, a couple pages in, I am really enjoy it! More to come!
