Our 5 year anniversary!

Today was our 5 year anniversary or birthday. It was 5 years ago today that I went to my first meeting. So much has changed!

1. We got married.
2. Quit smoking.
3. Had 2 kids.
4. Bought a house.
5. Changed jobs 5 times.
6. Became a SAHM.
7. I think we are on our 6th car!

I'm sure there is more, but I can't think of anymore right now. Anyway we went out to eat, all four of us! It was pretty fun. I was surprised. The girls were so good! They were very good at the resturant. Then we went to Kohl's and C was a monster! Not really, she just kept running around and driving me crazy. We exchanged some clothes and bought an extra outfit for C. We were going to get shoes, but Kohl's doesn't sell shoes! I was surprised. I hope we can get some tomorrow. She needs shoes for church.

She is only 3.5yo and I was shocked with some of the clothes for her size. I know she is tall for her age, but I am so not ready for those clothes! She is just a little girl! I really have to work on getting over that. I really do not want her to take on my hangups.

Christmas and New Years

Well it's been just over a month since I was on here last. Let's see what's been going on. We had Christmas at home, my parents and DH parents houses. Lot's of Christmas! It was a really nice time.

New Year resolutions:

-Of course the weight loss one
-clean house better: more 'green'
-follow thru more with the 'Love & Logic' stuff
-recycle -this one is for DD, she has been more aware of recycling and we are not setting a good example.
-spend more quality time with my girls
-stop worrying about stuff I can't control (stole that one from ambercamp)
-go for a walk at least once a week and build up from there
-and be a better person overall (stole that one too )

I also started a food log today. I'm not really sure how many calories I should have every day. I can't find any place that tells me since I am still bfing. I ate 2700 calories today. And I was still kinda hungry. I think it's the foods that I am eating. I found a website www.babyfit.com that actually helps me find foods to eat. With calorie information. I also am going on www.fitday.com and if I am out or can't get to my computer I have a paper log.

As for the house cleaning one, well.....I hate to clean. When I was working I could do whatever needed to be done. I guess what I need is to be held accountable. But the only person that will come down on me for not cleaning is me. If DH did I would be pissed. Remind me of growing up. Love my mom, but I don't want my DH treating me the way my dad treated my mom. I keep thinking that I need a schedule of some sort, but it is really hard to get started. I want everything to be spotless when I start and that is never going to happen. I really just need to pick a room and start there. I keep telling myself that...

Love & Logic stuff. Working on that. It is really tough! The other day I was able to give C a bath and wash her hair without her screaming! It was awesome! Today, she left a barbie outside and Sushi chewed a barbie hand off. I broke it to her and she was sad but it was anything like I thought it would be. It broke my heart to have to tell her.

Haven't done anything with the recycling yet. I need to find out who takes what in terms of recycling. Plastic bottles, bags, lights bulbs, etc. You know the usual.

I try everyday to spend more quality time with DDs. I am trying to cuddle and read to them every day.

Haven't started walking yet. Someone might see me! I know I'm a freak. Can't help it.
