Hi girls! I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and then I will start a new thread if anyone wants to pop in here and join me. I know we have all been busy. I have been reorganizing my entire house. I got the kids rooms done and am working on the main floor. It feels so good to get so much accopmlished.
I didn't do great w/ food and exercise over the holidays, so I am back on the 6 week body makeover plan for 5 weeks. Danny's bday is in 5 weeks, so I want to enjoy myself and don't want to have to be strict when we go out. Plus, I have scheduled a massage and facial for then, so that should be my reward for staying op for 5 weeks. I started exercising again yesterday and am fully back on track.
Hope everyone had a great holiday and is doing well!
Love ya, Cindi

Hello Girls!
I didn't realize how long it had been since I had checked in here. Yes, super busy here. I had a family bday party for Sarah 2 weeks ago and then a friend one last night. OMG! 14 screaming little girls running around here. I let my 2 nieces stay the night, so they will be leaving in an hour or so.
Then we are going to a hotel about 30 min. south of Louisville for the day and night. THey have an indoor water park, so we are going w/ Patty and Steve and their kids and their neighbors family. We are going for Alexa's bday. She will be 4 right after Christmas, so we are doing this now to get it over with. It should be fun, but I have so much to do around here that I wish I could send Danny and the kids and just stay here. Yeah, right!lol He wouldn't go for that, at least not w/ the baby.
Lance is a little wild boy right now. All I hear, all day long in mama, mama, mama, MAMA MAMA MAMA!!!! He will scream it while I am standing right there. Daniel has taught him to scream. He is so cute and so much fun, but keeps me soooo busy.
I finally got a good night's sleep last night. I had to get up at 7:30am with Lance. He usually goes to bed around 7:30pm, but didn't go down til after 9pm last night because of all the excitement here. So, he will probably go down for an early nap soon.
I have so much embroidery to do before Christmas. I wish I could just stay here and get it all done.
Debbie~I love your pics. They are great. I really like your hair like that too. So, what are you doing tonight? I will be 30 min. closer to you. We are staying in Shepherdsville, KY. I haven't been to the gym since the day before Thanksgiving. I have done the t/m here a few times, but not enough. I have been eating too much junk and it is catching up w/ me. UGH! The scale isn't too bad, but I can tell I am losing muscle and gaining flab. I have been sick too. I did this last Dec. I think it is from the stress, being busy, not eating right, etc.
I really just want to go lie back down for a bit. I think I am just so run down. I really need some time to do nothing. I guess maybe that will happen in about 18 yrs.lol I am thinking about using my spa gift certificates after the holidays and go get a facial, massage and whatever else I feel the need for:)
Kathy~I hope your finals went well and everyone is better there and you can enjoy your time off from school.
Hi to everyone else.
Take care and I'll talk to ya later!

Wow, everyone must be super busy. Just checking in to see what is new. We are going to the homeschool Christmas party tonight and then to Dave's party tomorrow night. Cindi, there is a Live Event in Louisville sometime in Feb. If you are interested, let me know. Mark may be able to get you in for free. Ok, better get the pie out of the oven and start getting ready. Hope you are all doing well. Debbie

Hi everyone, Life has been crazy as usual. I’ve been shopping online for Christmas presents and I think I’m done. I still need to write my Christmas letter and we are going to take a family photo tonight and start printing those off too.
I just realized that I haven’t been to jazzercise since November 9th…almost a month! I’ve been coughing this whole time and finally went to the dr. on Monday. It’s not strep, but they don’t know what it is. The antibiotics seem to be working, though, so that’s good enough for me. I’m hoping I can get back to jazzercise this Friday. I definitely won’t be in the front row anymore! The good thing in all of this is that my weight has stayed at 127…I haven’t gained so I’m really happy about that.
Cindi ~ I hope Daniel starts feeling better soon. I can’t imagine trying to plan a bday before Christmas. Mark’s is Dec. 31st and that is crazy enough! We have seriously thought of celebrating his in June or July.
Kathy ~ I hope Rick’s surgery goes well. Is he over his pneumonia? I bet you can’t wait to start your Christmas break from school.
I have not heard from Jocelyn, either. I hope all is well with her and that she isn’t having as much morning sickness this time.
Hi to everyone else. I need to start dinner…

Ready for Christmas??? Ha. I have not even started! Kind of scary.
Cindi - Hope Daniel is feeling better. All the kids have been sick here. Even Angela. She surprised me last week with a visit home. She was only here for a day. She & a friend drove down to take Angela's best friend back to Toronto for Angela's 20th b-day party. I can't believe she is 20!!
Rick has surgery scheduled for right before Christmas. Hopefully that will help & not make things worse.
I have to go out as soon as the kids get on the bus. My printer has no ink, I have no food in the house, etc. etc. I am going to meet a couple friends from my class to study a bit for our final & then I'll do my chores. I got the laundry finished yesterday.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Has anyone heard from Jocelyn lately?

Can you believe it is December already? Wow! Anyone ready for Christmas? I am getting a lot done and am about ready. Danny and I were going to go finish up tonight, but Daniel started throwing up last night, so now I can't leave him w/ anyone. He hasn't thrown up in a few hours, so hopefully he will be better and back to school tomorrow. I have a lot to do. Sarah's bday is on the 12th, so I had a family party for her on Sat. and she will have a friend party coming up soon. I have to figure out the date and send out invitations.
I was just looking at my calendar. It is filling up. I wasn't feeling good last week and have been so busy on the weekends w/ stuff to do I am ready to just rest. January is empty right now and I hope to keep it that way. I will need to so I can get back on track. I need to exercise and getting my eating back on track this week since we have more parties this weekend.
Kathy~Congrats on doing so well w/ the nursing program. I hope Rick is better soon. How has his back been doing? kids all doing ok?
