Haven't posted on this blog for a few days...I guess I've been busy. I have several new posts on my Paper Capers blog if you are interested. I just posted about how I got started with scrapbooking.
Anyway, we are almost through the month of January and I am trying my best to keep up with my goals, but I'm really discovering that I can't possibly do all of them simultaneously. If I work out more at the gym, inevitably I will be less energetic to get other things done. If I scrapbook more, I neglect other things, like housework, so then our bedroom starts to get cluttered up with laundry. Trying to keep the house clean and fit scrapbooking in after the kids are in bed makes for a very late night and as a result I can hardly get up to get Natalie to school. So only one month into my year and already I am overwhelmed.
On a good note, I have gone out with my friend Anne to see a movie (the Pursuit of Happiness — a great movie, by the way.) I have been spending more time doing activities my kids choose (games, stories, playing outside together) and I have made it to they gym quite a bit. In fact, today I worked out for 50 minutes (cardio) and burnt 420 calories...which should just about take care of that "Bloomin' Onion" Dan and I shared when we went out last night for dinner sans kids.
