I may have had a quiet night in and no, I didn’t even see the ball drop. I think the last time that happened I was at my Grandma Owl’s house sleeping on her pull out couch? I feel like I spent NYE there quite a few times and loved it.
It was a long Winter break full of lots of sickness, but all is well. I will miss my little girl today! I’m not ready to send her away all day. There were moments of pure bliss where I would just stop and watch her and Bradley play so well together. (There were also time-outs and some fights but eh, I like to focus on the good!) It made me miss having her around so much. I haven’t had her all day long for over a week since August!
Since I was pretty much stuck at home with all the illness (myself included but I rebounded fast, thank you God!) I was able to really organize and de-clutter my office, Brooke & Bradley’s rooms. I still need to go through the basement playroom, but after wandering around my extremely messy house aimlessly for about a day or so, Oprah finally told me, “what’s the next right move?” I was seriously starting to go insane not even knowing where to start or what to do with myself and the insanity that was surrounding me.
It’s so true though, just break down your overwhelmingly large to do list and just do one thing. SOME thing. It can be anything, but just do it. Now all of the odds and ends are out of my office and I am actually sitting here typing my little blog here on a clean desk. #winning
Baby toys are gone and all broken, missing pieces, fast food toys and little annoying pieces of I don’t even know, are now removed from my son and daughter’s rooms and everything has a place, I mean EVERYTHING! We are only on day 3 of this, but so far so good! If they know where something is supposed to go, it makes pick up a whole heck of a lot easier. Plus it will help with the random, “hey let’s dump all the toys out so I can find that one thing I am looking for!”
So my word of the year?
I started a few years back with choosing one word and trying to repeat it to myself throughout the year. {2017: Success & 2018: Be}
I know my life is chaotic but I believe it could be a more organized as well as simplified chaos. I want to focus on what matters most, what has to happen/get done and what fills my soul with happiness.
This week off was unexpected. I thought we’d be here there and everywhere doing all the ‘fun things’ as well as having some down time. But honestly? This is just what I needed as well as my little family and though I would not wish sickness on ANYONE especially the loves of my life, I am glad I could be the one to take care of all of them.
So here is to an amazingly epic & simply sexy 2019!
What is your word or resolution for this year?
