Happy Belated Thanksgiving

046

Yesterday I had in mind to take a ton of pictures of Mr. G’s first Thanksgiving. That was before I knew he wasn’t going to take his afternoon nap. Boyfriend is NOT a happy camper when he’s overtired. We tried putting him down in his play pack with his sound machine on, but everything going on outside was so much more interesting.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget Mr. G screeching at the top of his lungs while saying grace. I did get some pictures, but none of the turkey, him sitting at the dinner table, or all those cutesy pictures.

Mr G loves his cousins

And his great uncle.And his bib.

He was just so tired that he clung to my arm as he finished his sweet potato.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did.

Friday Update

Sweet Smiles

So it’s Friday; it has been five days since I posted up my goals.

Here is where I stand:

I AM NOT ONE BIT CLOSE TO ANY OF MY GOALS.

Of course, I’m very disappointed in myself. To be honest I’ve been really hard on myself about slacking off overall in a lot of aspects in life.

Then I have to remember that I need to stop beating myself up.

I need to regroup, regain my focus and start living again.

I need to remind myself what I have worth living for.

There are bigger and better things going on in my life than what is going on in others.

My life isn’t perfect.

There are tons of bumps, dips and spills, but it is mine.

I wouldn’t change it for the world.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal:it is the courage to continue that counts.”

 ~Winston Churchill

Goals

Everyone has goals. Whether big or small I have to set some goals for myself this week. I like the challenge since it really motivates me to do it.

This week I will:

Personal Goals

  • Work out 4x’s this week (zumba, dancing, but not including situps or pushups)
  • Log everything I eat (I’m following a new Gluten & Dairy free diet and it’s driving me bonkers)
  • Write 3 blog posts

Around the house goals

  • Clean one room a day
  • Finish a load of laundry from start to finish
  • Pre make all next weeks meals

Family goals

  • Spend one hour uninterrupted with both my boys when I’m home from work
  • Set half an hour to talk to my husband everyday (I’m amazed we don’t really do this anymore with both of our workloads)
  • Have a family dinners with both our parents

Other Goals

  • Meet set deadlines for projects!!!! (November going into December is turning out to be super busy)

Let us see how this goes.

Health and Stuff

It’s been pretty quite here on Lupakitty.com, but Casa de Bridges has been a big hustle and bustle.

So far this year,
•I had Mr. G
•Mr G is growing so fast (he’s almost a year)!
• I went through a really rough couple of months healthwise.
•We had a very scary ambulance ride to the ER for Mr G.
•We’ve been laying low and taking as many breaks as to not burn out (ie, changing jobs, not worrying if something isn’t clean, enjoying our little one).
•We’ve been battling what seems like the plague over here.

I will get it in me to type it all out. I’m just trying to enjoy life before I share my life.

Please pray for her

Thursday morning David’s aunt Barbara suffered a mild stroke that affected her speech and movement. We just received word that she’s getting worse. Doctors found a blockage in her artery which they are treating.

If everyone would be so kind as to send them your thoughts and prayers, it would mean so much to me.
