Slacker!

Ok - So here I am at week 2 of the New Year and I'm already slacking! Ugh! It's OK though; I will continue to work at it! I haven't run or gone to the gym since Sunday.  It's so hard to get motivated during the winter and I'm so tired when I get home from work.  I know that this is even more reason for me to get going.

On a more positive note, I have the day off work tomorrow. :)  I had a personal day to use and took tomorrow.  The main reason I took it off tomorrow is that I have my first home visit to begin the foster care process.  I am feeling pretty unprepared, however.  I did move my room into the room next to the bathroom and it was somewhat clean but now is a mess again. I have quite a mess in the soon to be foster care room but am working on it.  I came downstairs to take a break because it can get pretty overwhelming at times.  I have so much stuff and I continue to work on weeding stuff out but there is just so much! It is a very slow process for me but I'm getting there.  I need a day with Susan Matthews to come help me do some more organizing. :)  She is my motivator in that category. :)

I also had a great dinner last night with my brother Kevin and sister-in-law Robin.  :) This is on my resolution list so I'm doing good there. :)  I can't remember if I wrote about this, but I signed up for a ballet class for myself and my friend Christine. :)  The class starts on January 14th and I can't wait!  It also counts as my fun and different thing for January (even though its a 10-week class).  My February fun thing is my painting class at Saratoga Paint and Sip Studio with Stacia.  I'm also going to Turning Stone Casino for a day trip with my friend Kim on Saturday. I hope I win some $$$!  That would be a bonus!  It should be a fun day anyway.

I spent 2 evenings reading a book that I got (with my birthday gift card from Belynda). :)  The book was Miranda's Big Mistake by Jill Mansell.  It's one of those light reads that I really enjoy.  It's about a woman who meets this guy who she thinks is great and finds out that he left his wife because she was pregnant and that he's still married.  Anyway, it was fun to read and unlike my life, she actually ends up finding a great guy at the end.  This can only happen in books and movies, huh? LOL.  Oh well, lucky for me I have many other things going on and can still have fun and be happy without a man. :)  Don't know how I got on that tangent except to say that this book reading, although it was entertaining, kept me from doing all the other things that I was supposed to do! LOL! I guess I need that from time to time anyway.  Back on the wagon next week!  Since I will be taking Ballet class on Monday, I know I'll be off to a good start.  In case you are wondering, this ballet class is an adult beginner class and no experience is necessary so I should be fine! Ha ha! I do need to purchase some ballet slippers though.  I guess I'll be making a trip to the Costumer tomorrow!

That's it for now! I'll try not to be such a slacker!
