Feeling pretty proud of myself. Worked out 3 days in a row to a new workout series. Its another 90 day program (initially) but the workouts are much shorter than the p90x so easier for me to squeeze it into my day. Feeling sore but good all over.
Now I just need to get some will power and eat better. Always my biggest struggle. I just love food too much. I think if I was busier at work that would help, because I sit around, get bored and end up snacking on things people bring in. Today I was good and only ate my fiber bar, which actually tastes good, but then for lunch I wasn't all that disciplined and ate a bag of chips. Tomorrow I am packing a lunch and making it healthy!
I'll never be bikini ready but I'd at least like to be "mom swimsuit" ready.

The Hoover
My kid will eat anything.
Including Polly Pocket's shoe.
Which I found in his diaper this morning.
So now what?
Coen says,"Cadence will be soooo sad."
I wonder what else is hanging out in his intestines.

We are not rich
I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting surprises in our bank account!!! Not only did our federal taxes get deposited sometime during the night but Josh got a little extra on his paycheck too!
Minneapolis school district had a pay freeze in affect for the last two years so no raises were given and no pay increases were given for completing masters degrees and such. Well last fall they determined they had no right to put the pay freeze in affect and all teachers were promised some back pay to catch them up. This was going to happen in December and January. December and January's checks came and they were a little larger than normal, we were satisfied. Josh isn't making a lot of money but it is what it is, being a teacher and all, so we were pleased with the small raise and backpay. Well then today's paycheck came...and it was bigger than the December and January's checks.
I don't really pay attention to Josh's checks, I'm only allowed to see the deposit, I don't see a pay stub and I don't know how to interpret the stupid thing anyway. I assumed everything was paid out in December in January and that our checks would be the normal amount from now on. So this came very unexpected- but what a great surprise!
Contrary to what many people believe we are not rich. Yes I make a nice income but it cost me so much money to get to that income and for the next 24 years I will be paying that back. So pretty much we live on a very tight month to month budget with not a lot of wiggle room.
Our new years resolution for 2011 was to be debt free (not including student loans and mortgage). So this will help us make a dent in our debt and get us going on our new years resolution!

Back to blogging
Trying to get back into blogging like the rest of the family. Couldn't have picked a busier time in our lives so we'll see if I keep up with it.
Cadence has been a handful lately, she's been doing remarkable well in the eating department since she's gotten her tonsils out but once her pain meds wear off she's a terror! Its been a little stressful around here, with Cadence needing more attention and Coen knowing he's getting less attention and acting out because of it. Thank God for cool, calm,chill, Noble. I love that boy- red hair and all!
