It's easier than I thought!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give a quick update. My goals are falling into place! Yesterday I was able to go out with one of my best friends and her two adorable daughters. Kara was so excited and we got to spend the afternoon swimming and having a good time.

Well most of us had a good time, Kara is a little bit water shy so she wasn't too happy when I made her get in. I hope that she can get over that soon. It's no fun being scared, but I do know the feeling.
Yesterday was also the first day that I have ever gone off the diving board! I have always been too afraid. I don't like deep water, but yesterday I didn't die and so I think my fear is ebbing just a little.

Anyways, I am going to accomplish another goal today. Our church started a mom group for mom's with young children. And today we are all having an outing. We are going to play in the fountains at Crown Center then have a picnic lunch. All of this will be followed up with a trip to Kaleidoscope. I am excited it is supposed to be a really cool place with lots of art and interaction for the kids. I will be sure to post pictures soon.

How is your week going? Have you reached any goals? I would love to hear from you!

    Hope you get to the Crown Center before they shut down the fountains (not allow people to play in them)...

Okay readers, you may have to hang in there with me tonight. I am not feeling to good I want to go bed but it's one of those things where I can't sleep. So I decided to take some time for myself to write and relax. I lit a candle, changed into my jammies and have slow music on Paandora. See, I am feeling better already! Yesterday was great day and Kara was being so good that I decided we would cook together! Now that is something we had not tried until yesterday so I was taking a big risk. I knew that we would most likely end up in disaster. I was pleasantly surprised though and we only had 2 incidents that involved tears. She doesn't really understand the whole taking turns thing yet. So by now you must be wondering what we made. I started out looking for ingredients for dinner but then I found a can of pumpkin. I turned it around and found that I had all I needed to make a pie! Pumpkin Pie is one of Josh's favorite foods. I don't really like it but because I...

A Busy Mom's Guide to Being Sick

Yuck! The famous stomach bug has landed at our house. Fortunately, it isn't the kind that makes you want to die, it just clings to you and makes you super tired and icky. Because of this I did not go to work today. I hate calling in! I always feel like my boss will never understand, this is silly because she is actually really good about being understanding.  So if I don't need to feel worried I begin to feel guilty. Guilty that I am taking the day to lay around and recoup. I have a million things to do and Kara needs my attention, I can't just lay in bed I tell myself. Yeah, you know you have done it too! In that case I normally get up and do too much and make myself sicker than I was originally. Thus, the cycle starts over! Today I decided I would be good to my body and try to rest. But I still had so much to do! So to ease my feelings I decided to find things that I could do from either my bed or couch, all the while keeping Kara entertained. I started out working ...
