Day 2: 22 Days of organizing, Xmas gifts/projects, and starting a healthier lifestyle

Most of my day went pretty well until afternoon when I was completely exhausted after a very intense bike ride. Breakfast and lunch were as planned…but basically did nothing this afternoon, which was not the plan…I also need to make sure I get atleast 8 hrs of sleep because the 6 I got last night was not enough….. so I will be signing off shortly. So what I didn’t do today will get moved to tomorrow. Also didnt take any photos besides ones of myself...which I will put up tomorrow.

Day 1: 22 Days of organizing, Xmas gifts/projects, and starting a healthier lifestyle

I am alive!! I know i haven't posted in like a million years but I am here and have a plan for the next few weeks. Here is my plan.... I hope this helps me stay focused, and get back on track.
Every night I will post my photos I took for that day as well. That is also good to keep my photo skills up, and so family that doesn't live nearby can keep track of us :P 

22 Days of Organizing, Homemade Christmas Projects and starting a healthier lifestyle

Each day I will do 1 organizing/cleaning project, one diy/gift project, and healthy lifestyle change. As well as spending time with Wesley, daily cleaning, and cooking.

1.       Day 1- Nov 29^th:

·         Wake up at 8am and get dressed/ready  for the day.

·         Meals will be healthy. Breakfast will include egg & veggie burrito with glass of milk. Lunch will include tuna salad, and dinner will include chicken or shrimp stirfry. Snacks will include fresh fruit or veggies.. Wesley will have more whole grain. I will log all of my meals in a book.

·         To start the day off right will get out the stroller and take a walk from home to pilot, to prison, and back home. I will also walk everyday to check the mail.

·         Cleaning will include unloading/reloading dishwasher, clearing off counter, and starting/putting away laundry.

·         Errands to the bank to deposit check, to the courthouse to pay truck taxes, and to talk to circuit court will be done just before noon, to insure Kyle is picked up on time from class.

·         For the afternoon I will re-can the watermelon jelly, and can the mandarin oranges.

·         I will spend 1 hour exclusively to Wesley, project/crafts depend on mood at the time. I will also take 1 photo each day of Wesley and things we do.

·         I will not turn on the television until all of these projects are done. I will drink a glass of water all day to keep myself full. I will not have any soda or candy.

·         Each evening I will blog my plan  each day. I hope this will help me keep on track and get as much done as I can before Kyle’s graduation, and family arrives.  Since I am not working, and probably won’t be until after the holidays, I need to stay busy and productive.

Its April...so spring must be close!

I get so involved with my photography blog I neglect the household updates. We didn't really do anything for easter this year. We didn't even dye the eggs. *tear* They were all boiled and ready to go. I ended up sleeping in, so we didn't make it to church and I really wanted to go even though I don't know anyone at the church besides the pastor. I do plan on this week going to church. I need to. I have all of these adorable church outfits that are just collecting dust in the closet. Or maybe I'll find a new church to go to. Anyways I cooked a turkey with mashed potatoes, gravy and green bean casserole. No ham this year. I needed to use the turkey that had been in our freezer since before thanksgiving.

On another note..

We just have too much stuff in our house. And because spring in approaching soon I hope, I would really love to do some spring cleaning.

Each weekend I'm going to pick an area of the house to clean out and then freecycle the stuff, trash it, donate it or sell it.

"Salvage-it saturday + sunday. Sounds good 2 me. I need things to do. I was also thinking it would be awesome each weekend to find an awesome craft to make. I've already started my craft list so I can turn some of the crap I have into creativeness. I'm sure Wesley would have fun too if it involved something simple. That sounds like an awesome name for a blog. Ooo I should see if thats been taken and then start ANOTHER blog. LOL. I can barely keep up with 3 blogs plus the hundreds I'm subscribed to. If I'm lucky I get maybe 10-15 blog posts read per day. So no wonder I'm up until the wee hours of the night and then completely exhausted in the morning and don't get moving until after 10a.

So I better get the rest of this blog finished up. Tomorrow I want to try and get to the career fair at the union. I've been looking for a good part time job to help pay some of the bills that is still reasonable so we don't have to get daycare. I'm very opposed to that right now but if it came down to it I would find a nice small home daycare for wesley. Anywho the city of laramie is hosting and there are a bunch of jobs through the city, like at the rec center front desk, which would be a great job, plus that would give me incentive to exercise since I would already be there. Well I won't get my hopes up completely but I will apply and hope for the best!

Time to get some rest. Lots to do this week. Grandpa is coming up to visit. Kyle and I are going on a date. A possible playdate friday and maybe the park if its nice!

Don't have a photo today. They are still sitting on the memory card. Next time. But do check out www.colormyworldphoto.com for the new ones!
