This Mommy Needs A Nap

I have set several goals for this new year. I am happy to announce that I am doing great on one of them.

I have done a great job at not biting my nails. I have found that if I can get just a little, tinny, tiny nail, I will stop biting and let them grow. It has been really hard, but I'm on the road to long nails. I'm so excited. Silly that it is takes next to nothing nails to add some excitement in my life.

Yesterday my baby boy turned 1. It is so hard to believe he is one already. Where did the past year go? Oh, that's right I spent most the year spending the night in the hospital. You know I really should become a nurse since I spend so much time there. I may as well get paid for it, right?

I have also been trying to make better food choices. The other night I feel asleep and missed dinner. When I woke up I wanted a snack so, I went for the carrots and dip. I have thrown out all the leftover cookies. I need to go through the cabinets and fridge to get rid of the rest of the bad food choices. So then we won't have anything left but good food choices.

We have a recumbent bike. We got it about 3 years ago and never really used it. It's in the basement right now collecting dust. I was thinking we should bring it up so we can start riding it. We can put it in the front room with the big TV and ride during one of our 1000 shows we watch. We would then ride for an hour, not skipping commercials. I think that it help us not feel so guilty about watching so much TV. Make it healthy TV watching. I am also thinking it would help me build up some endurance now, for when I start jogging when the weather gets nicer.

I did something to my right knee. I am almost thinking I dislocated my knee cap, not sure though. I actually don't remember doing anything to it. All I know is if it is bent for any amount of time it starts hurting really bad. It wakes me up at night it hurts so bad. It feels fine if I keep it straight. Anyway I am hoping I just tweaked it and it will start feeling better. Just like me to repress things and ignore them.

I have been really tired lately. I think it has to due with the fact that I am practically a single mom right now. Since Dan's surgery, he is not allowed to lift anything more than 10 lbs. So that leaves me to; lift, clothe, change every diaper, load and unload the kids in the van, put them in and take them out of high chairs, and much, much more. I can say I do get help from Noah, when he is home. I try and that is a big TRY, to not ask Noah to do too much. I tend to fail at that. I think all that I am having to do on my own is really wearing me out.

I know what I need to do to make my self healthy, net let's get to it. Although right now just the thought makes me tired!! This mommy needs a nap!!
