Thanksgiving Resolutions

I've decided that making resolutions on New Year's Day is too predictable.  LOL  Why not make them on Thanksgiving? (Or any other day for that matter??)  Here are my new resolutions.


  1. Complete at least one blog entry a week. I feel badly that I haven't kept up with this blog as I had intended to do, so this is the big focus for me.
  2. Get back into the gym and do so no less than 3 days a week. I lost my momentum with it all when I started classes in August.  My courses for next semester will be greater in number, but will be online or in the evening so I will have time during the day to go with no excuses.
  3. Select the course material to start Kamden's homeschooling in the fall.
  4. Get my A1C back down below 7.0.
  5. Get on and STAY on a budget.
  6. Find something I can do just for myself one time a week.
  7. Learn how to better manage my time.
  8. Make it a habit to put clothes away as I fold them.  This seems minor, but in my house it's HUGE.
  9. Learn how to be content with what I have.
  10. Control my emotions.
What are your resolutions?  If you don't make them now, have you started thinking about what you will choose for 2013?

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
