Back to the Normal Routine

Tomorrow Jim goes back to work. Somehow this seems to bring life back to normal. Maybe it is because I hate getting out of bed when he is still laying there.

It is freezing here, I just can't seem to get warm!! I wanted to scrapbook today but didn't have any mojo (thinking maybe that was because my fingers and brain were frozen!!). Instead I watched The Family Stone and started The Wedding Date. Hopefully, I will get some of that mojo back. I would like to finish up the pages that I have started so that I can take Aiden's album with me to Vegas to share with Erin in less than two weeks.

We celebrated Ryan's birthday last night. We had pork chops, sweet potatoes, corn and salad. No Cake!!! With the wheat and gluten allergy that sort of eliminates the sweets. Okay with me, helps with the diet.

Rachel is feeling really sick. She can't really eat much so she has lost several pounds. I am sure when the morning sickness is over she will get back on track. They had their first ultrasound on Friday and Ryan called me before 8:00 AM all excited and couldn't wait to tell me that they saw the baby's heart beating. They both said that they were glad that there was only one baby and not twins. I think that is probably a good thing too!

A New Year!

I spent the day scrapbooking at TMI with some new and old friends. We had a lot of laughs. I did about 4 or 5 two page layouts but none of them are finished. Basically it was just the background and pictures so now I need to go back and add my embellishments and journaling. What a fun way to start the new year.

I don't have any real resolutions. As usual, I would like to lose some weight. I have pretty much maintained for the last three months and now it is time to get serious again. I definitely need to work on some strength conditioning as my arms and legs feel so weak most of the time. Something going on there, just not sure what. I will try to strengthen the muscles first and if it doesn't get better than I will get it checked out. So I guess that would be a good resolution to work with (weights two or three times a week). I think I will go to Scheel's this weekend for some resistance band and maybe a Bender Ball.

This year will bring a new baby for Ryan and Rachel and a first birthday for Aiden. Can't wait to visit him in two weeks.
