New years resolutions, more or less my goals for 2012.

- Eat Healthier. This is really important to me because I do not eat healthy at all. I'm talking no fruits or veggies.
- Exercise.
- No more caffeine.
- Be more patient with my children.
- Play with them more.
- Find better methods of punishment.
- Keep better track of our money.
- Get organized better.
- Redecorate my home.
- Try more new recipes.
- Work on more projects.
- Get my ebay account rolling.
- Get up earlier.

It's the 3rd day of the New Year and so far most of these are going okay. I realized that the no more caffeine probably isn't so realistic with me having two kids, so instead of giving it up completely I am just cutting back on it greatly. I used to just drink soda and coffee all day, now it's down to half a cup of coffee in the morning.
Eating for me is going well so far too, except I have been craving chinese like usual. :( When I went grocery shopping I bought a lot of fruits, veggies, and whole grains so that when I'm home I have no choice but to eat them. There are a lot of new projects and recipes I'm wanting to try this year as well, one of them being homemade salsa. I can't wait! :) Really looking forward to this year, and all the good things it has to offer us.

Post Holiday Depression.

Christmas is over. All the toys are out of their cardboard boxes, and have been carted off by the recycling truck. FINALLY. I've had cardboard piled in my laundry room since Sunday, and the clutter was driving me insane. I packed up the Christmas tree, and decorations yesterday, all the while my precious little 2 year old was crying and pleading with me not to take down the "Chrissamiss treat". Despite wanting to have my house back to normal, I really didn't want to take it down either. :( I feel like December flew by so fast, and Christmas didn't even feel like Christmas for me because we didn't get to spend Christmas day with the kids. I'm not all that sad though, we still have one more Christmas celebration to do on New years, and we have a babysitter that night to go out as well. I wish I could say I'm super excited to go out, but I'm really not. :-/ My anxiety comes and goes, but lately every time we go somewhere unfamiliar with strangers, or somewhere really loud it really flares up. So I'm probably going to spend the whole night anxious and nauseous, so I won't be able to drink. I don't really enjoy drinking too much anyways. Don't get me wrong I love the occasional glass of wine, or just drinking enough to feel tipsy, but partying and getting completely wasted, and then puking is not my thing, it never has been.  On another note, this new year brings a lot of hope for me, and I can't really say why yet, just know that I'm really excited. :) My diet officially starts next week, and I need to find a way to start exercising. Hopefully it's more than just doing yoga on my living room floor haha. So this is the last week I can have soda, or eat junk food so I will probably eat my heart out and be in a food coma all week. Here's to the new year! :)

Happy new year from the Hensley family!
