Random things from the 1st week of January!

It has been a really, quick, successful, productive week!!! Lots accomplished with my kids this week...a little paperwork accomplished as well. Getting back into a routine...although I would love to sleep just a little later, has been the best thing for the Derting's. Schedules and things to accomplish makes me feel better mentally, physically and emotionally.

I should also mention that I made it to 10 weeks today :) :) :) I am so excited and thankful to be at this place and to this point. I am still hoping and praying that everything is going as it should since we don't go back to the doctor for a couple of weeks. We swam Monday and I walked a couple of miles yesterday and I am a little tired, but feel so much better than the past weeks and I can only hope that it will continue to go up hill from here!!

I have gotten a little bit of a head start on the upcoming 5th Birthday party....invites are on the way.....I just need to nail down a race car......anyone out there that can help me with that??????

What was I thinking........I decided that we will be decluttering and spring cleaning this weekend at the Derting's!!! Why did I decide this? What was I thinking? Well I am thinking that 1/2 the clothes I pulled out of Bryson's closet don't fit and the broken toys need to find a new home too......and the Christmas goodies that are left need to go......and my closet needs an overhaul with maternity clothes not skinny jeans (oh that reminds me.....today a 2nd grader told me that I looked like Barbie......I NOW LOVE HIM FOREVER....today I wore maternity pants for the 1st time, so that kid has NO idea what those simple words meant to me) sorry for the side note.....Brooks' closet could use a little attention.....bathroom cabinets and closets need a cleaning out......and the fridge needs major attention......so for anyone out there that doesn't have fun plans for the weekend, please feel free to drop by... :)

So here I am typing away and procrastinating my many projects.....but I needed to write a little to clear my mind. I hope that you have a started off the year on a positive note and that you are sticking to your New Year's Resolution. I have to admit that I didn't make one......maybe that way I want let myself down when I don't accomplish it. Remember being positive is the best way to be because negativity only makes you miserable....and miserable to be around. Also, from the new Oprah Network (which I am kind of loving)....."every good idea comes from a problem needing a solution"......ponder that one! Much Love to YOU!!! Alysha
