...full work weeks would consist of 3 days.

Too bad I live in a world where that's just not the case except during the holiday season. Christmas and New Year's have come and gone. Here we are back to the daily grind and I've yet to post anything! Eek! I'm being a BAD blogger.

So Christmas for Brad and I this year was the best yet. Like, literally since we've been together every year has been a struggle for us and one side or the other was always unhappy or we were constantly watching the clock. This year, none of that! A good time was had by all and no one had to watch the clock or worry about getting to "the other side". It was wonderful! I can honestly say that I enjoyed every single minute of my Christmas break.

New Year's Eve/Day were boring for us, but that's how we like it. We did a bit of shopping New Year's Eve with Popp and came home and played Mario Kart on the Wii, made a pot of chili, bought a heater for our basement so I can finally sit down there comfortably without 4 blankets on me. Then we watched a movie and played some more Mario Kart after Doodle went to bed. It was great. Very relaxing and chill.

So I've decided to do two things in 2010. For one, I'm going to try to be more active. When spring arrives Brad and I are going to start taking evening jogs with Miles in the stroller. Starting now I'm trying to make better decisions with my diet and what I put in my mouth. No more sweet tea for me! (I know it makes me want to cry!) The other thing is that I'm going to try to be a better wife and mother. Brad is so amazing and I find that I take him for granted a lot. I plan to try to do more for him and thank him more often for all that he does instead of picking on what he isn't doing. As for the mother part, I'm going to try to work on my patience and play a lot more. I play a lot already, but really when you're 1-2 there's never enough playing going on!

So that's that. :-) Below is a video of the man on Christmas morning that I thought was cute. I'll try to post some more pictures tonight or tomorrow. Happy new year everyone! May it be better than the last!
