What are you doing New Years, part deux!

Well, I just remembered at 8:45 pm that I hadn't blogged yet today! GREAT! Another one of my resolutions that I almost forgot!

Last night was nice... ordered in Chinese food with the kiddos & hubby... let the kids stay up late, they went to bed around 9:00 and then the hubby & I watched two brand new movies that are out until almost 2 am. We had fun... I got chocolate truffles, eclairs and nachos (some of our fave things) to snack on, but only ended up eating one truffle! I'm kinda proud of myself for that self control!!!

But I have to say that today, New Years Day, Jan. 1, 2009 - that I feel kinda crappy and bloated. Haven't really eaten anything horrible, but just feel blah! For one thing I'm stuck in the house since the entire family is sick. We didn't get to go to my hubby's Aunt's house for New Years Day w/ the family, I didn't get to go to my family's New Years with my Aunt who is here from GA either! We just stayed home all day... I surfed the net, watched tv, administered medications, picked up the house, went to Taco Bell to get dinner and now it's almost 9 pm and there's nothing on tv and nothing to do!

I've been acting like a butthead to my hubby cause I kinda feel like it's his fault we had to stay around the house all day since he's the one that's sick and whiny! I've been taking it out on him all day. Yesterday I was upset we couldn't go out for New Years Eve and then I realized I was being pathetic and decided to buck up and put my big girl panties on and deal with it and we had a really great night! But today.....

I don't know, I'm just feeling blah today, pessimistic, horrible, bloated, bad, cranky, crappy, all of the above....... and my hubby has been horribly nice to me all day! Almost patronizing! "I love you honey!" "Do you need a hug honey?" "What's the matter honey?" Even now, he has just come out here to see if I want to watch a movie and is still being nice to me and all I want to do is stick my tongue out at him and tell him to leave me alone!

I'm being horrible and pathetic and I've got to get out of this slump!!!

I'm going to try and work out tomorrow!! That's an upside.... I want to get motivated! So here goes nothing! Hopefully a good nights sleep will help my outlook and I'll be better tomorrow! Here's to hoping!

What are you doing New Year's Eve?

Me? I'm sitting at home with my little family. My hubby has just come home from the doctor's office to tell me that he has been diagnosed with the flu and his house-bound until he's better! My son Ty has been sick since Christmas Day and I started coughing, stuffy nose and sinus headaches yesterday! The only one of us not sick yet is our daughter, Mackenzie (Kenzie for short!)

Happy New Year to me!

So this year I am determined to set some realistic goals and stick to them! That's right, the ever present, New Years Resolutions!!!!! However, I did say they would be realistic! That's the key I think - not to say "I'm going to lose 90 lbs this year!" or something crazy like that! Something achievable is what I want! My hubby and I have been talking about making some goals for ourselves and our family, short term and long term goals. We've written them out, talked about them and are looking for ways to put them into action and keep each other accountable to them. So blogging is one of mine, and it's also a way to keep me sane and in check!

So later on I'll post my goals ~ I'm making them public knowledge so that I have some kind of accountability!

So stick around, and keep an eye out to see how it goes! I promise it will not be boring!!!!
