Laid Back
I have been so busy and lazy. That is not a good combination. Eric went back to work on Tuesday after his time off. We are car pooling together. I am half asleep, because we leave at six as opposed to me leaving at 7:30, ok 7:50. I get to work late often, lol. I guess being on time is the pro, the waking up at 5 am is the con.
Work has been extra hectic. I was off for a couple of days because of the accident. (reminds me that I need to post an entry about that.) The paper work has just piled up. I had to go ahead and work on that today. Sure it sucks going in on a sunday, but I will have it done when admin asks for it. Luckily I am off tomorrow. I am just to just kick my feet back and lay back! all day long I will de stress.
Read MoreNew Closet
My 9th resolution was to declutter my life. One of the man sources of the clutter is our closet. So we decided to remodel our closet. We headed over to Lowe’s and found a shelf with a rod. We bought two. We tore down the existing rod and let me tell you, who ever built it should be proud because it took alot to get it down. We had to prime the closet because it was painted and ugly green bluish color, yuck! After the primer dried we painted the with the brownish color. We had a hard time installing the shelves The instructions said to nail them into place. Using nails did not work as it did not hold on our wall for some reason. We ended up with huge holes. We ended up using wall anchors. We got both of them hung up. I was so excited when we finally finished. The first one took forever, the second one took about 5 minutes to install. I am wanting to add some of these to the kids closets because it is easier to have clothes and other storage and it was extremly low cost. The shelves were 8 dollars each at Lowe’s and the hardware was 15 total!!! So 23 for a new closet, you can’t beat that!

After:
I am sad to say that all of my clothes will not fit. The clothes hanging up is not even HALF of my clothes. I am a clutter bug. I am not hanging up clothes that I will never fit into. I took out some of the stuff and need to set a date for a yard sale. We are going to be painting the rest of our room. I bought a bunch of baskets from Dollar Tree to use for storage on the closet shelves. I cannot believe that I am actually excited to organize.

Christmas
We spent Christmas home this year. Every year when went to our family’s home and this year we wanted to try something different. We had many reasons why staying home would be better. The number one reason was for Ariana. That girl hates Grandma’s house. We don’t know what it Is about the house but she will continually cry for hours if we let her. Why would I want my baby to be unhappy on Christmas?
We started the day like any other day. I decided that I would not make a special dinner and everyone was perfectly fine with that. We did not dress up the kids because, well just because. We lounged around pretty much all day. Well until we found out that we would be having last minute company. We got dressed and cleaned up the place in less than in hour. I had Eric go to the store to buy some food and something sweet. Everything was already cooked, we got some rotisserie chicken, lil smokies and cupcakes. I had bought myself a cute red cupcake holder from target that I put those cute cupcakes on. When we were all done it looked like it was prepared hours ago, lol.
We had the kids open the gifts as soon as the grandparents got here. Ariana was more interested in destroying the tree. We kind of let her too, she had fun. Jovan got a lot of stuff 1 Wii game and 1 DS games sounds like fair game to me. He is 5 he should be outside playing anyways. He got some board games as well. We decided not to get him more clothes unless there is a good sale going on. He already has a ton of clothes. I know the second that I buy him more clothes he will have a growth spurt.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
