Christmas is just a little over two weeks away. Usually I would be in full shopping, wrapping, and preparing mode. However, having a curious ten-month old changes everything. It is hard to get the usual stuff (cleaning, straightening, cooking, etc.) done--let alone adding Christmas shopping and wrapping. I have mostly been gathering things during the week and then dealing with them on the weekends when the mister is home to help baby wrangle.
We attempted a Christmas craft with Claire yesterday (alliteration anyone?) and let's just say it did not go as well as mommy had hoped it would. I am rethinking our "homemade" gifts from Claire. I am sure they will turn out fine, but I am so disappointed that they did not work out the way I had hoped. I know I am being vague, but the craft is supposed to be part of the family Christmas presents this year, so I have to keep them under wraps until after December 25th.
I have also decided that I am not going think about starting to get back in shape--I am going to do it. I woke up this morning at 6:00 to go for a run. I just happened to pick a time when we got to bed late (midnight) and it was freezing outside (literally--the temperature was below freezing)--awesome. The mister asked me if I was sure I wanted to go as I was getting ready this morning. I was thinking, of course I don't want to go, but there will always be an excuse not to and I am done with excuses. I think I will try running 2 - 3 mornings a week and Pilates or yoga the other 2 - 3 mornings (I will take a break on Sundays). So wish me luck on my road to fitness.
This post is kind of all over the place, but that is how I am feeling today...probably due to my lack of sleep (I am used to nine hours a night). : )
