Do I really have time for this?

My husband started his first blog about his quest for weight loss in the new year. I've been a journal-writer forever so I thought, hmmmm, how hard can this be?

So begins my attempt to chronicle my life and times and craziness. Online. Sheesh. Considering that I get a chance to check my email approximately about every 4 months, this will have to be an undertaking done primarily at work.

I started the new year with dreams of actually accomplishing some of my goals this year. First and foremost, I need to spend more quality time with my husband. With the impossible schedules and commutes and exhaustion, it seems like we are two ships passing a lot of the time. I need to let him know that he is my number one priority and stop letting life get in the way of us.

Secondly, the eternal struggle for my ideal weight. I started weight watchers before the holidays and was doing really well. Then came my grandmother's illness and funeral, and the holidays. OH GOD, the holidays! Could it have BEEN any worse for my diet? But the important thing is that they are OVER, thank the Lord, and now I can try to get back on track. My goal is to hit my goal weight by summer. That's about 40 lbs to go. I know I can do this, but I have to "surrender to the program" and just work it. My biggest challenge is just finding time to work out. Take this morning, for example. It is my "PT" morning where I get to work out before the workday starts, which I thoroughly enjoy. On the way here we got in a massive traffic jam and left me time to barely get here and get a shower before the oh-so-important patients got here. Damn. So there goes my good intentions for this morning. Oh well, it is time to break in the Wii-fit that my hubby got me for Christmas anyway. Let's just hope I get a chance tonight.

I also strive to be more organized this year. No more piles of paper and lost keys and stuff getting on top of me this year. I have GOT to get my life in order if Glynn and I are ever to open our own dental practice and let me be a soccer mom.

AND, we have GOT to get our son back to sleeping in his own room. He is a couch-crasher at the moment and refuses to sleep in his bed. I'm gonna have to suck it up and let him cry it out, even though it breaks my heart. And Maddie has GOT to get potty trained. I'm so tired of the poopy pants! UGH!!

So this is my world. Full time chubby (can you still call it baby weight if your youngest is 2?) ditzy disorganized (slightly ADHD) working mom with a wonderful husband that I want to spend more time with. Welcome to my world. It's a crazy one, but I wouldn't trade it in for anything.
