Right this moment I have a final due and I still have some fine tuning on it, but I really wanted to blog. I did it! I found a moment to enjoy Christmas yesterday! First of all, Meredyth had an amazing day-she stayed dry in her pull up ALL DAY...and went to the potty without being told to. Then we are really working on her staying in her own bed, we are so tired of catering to her every whimper. She is spoiled rotten and we never let the boys get away with this. The boys were in bed at 8pm, no fussing, no fighting.....we have slacked big time with the baby and she sleeps wherever and whenever she wants....until NOW. I'm done, I'm so over her being in charge, she is wonderful and lovable and sweet and kind, but also a spoiled brat and I'm not doing it anymore. So, at nap yesterday, I began while eating lunch by explaining that she will be napping in her bed. And she did it, a few cries out, but then crashed. Then at bedtime it took an hour to get her to sleep but..mission accomplished, she slept the entire night in her bed. Thank God! My Christmas moment came while sitting with her, trying to convince her to go to sleep-we have Christmas lights hanging in the kids' room, the boys were in their beds, I was rubbing Meredyth's back, when all of a sudden, my boys and I started to sing Silent Night together....it was magical and wonderful. So my goal was met, I did enjoy a few minutes of Christmas time yesterday.
Now onto me, haven't worked out yet today-going to finish this paper then we will see. I'll let you all know!
How exciting! Thank you for inviting me on your journey. I know that you can do it! I find that winter is hard because I don't want to be motivated at the butt crack of dawn but having a "work out partner" has helped. I have some goal setting papers if you would like a copy, the nurse from class yesterday gave them to everyone to help transition from not so healthy food to better food to eventually diabetic friendly. Not that you are diabetic, but the goal process seems cool. We are going to do it with our sugar intake. Baby steps my friend and remember you can do anything through Christ who strenghtens us:) xoxoxo
