Making lists, kicking booties, taking names!

Oh Tuesday was CRAZY! If any of you follow MFE on Twitter, then you also know that I had to take an unexpected 3 hour glucose test (which really takes 4 hours) and failed my last hour, BARELY!! I'm now taking it again next week just to be sure. Then our new car arrived after waiting 7 WEEKS! So excited not to be sharing the construction pick-up truck with hubby...

(Pantry - this is where most of the dry food staples go...) This is what I'm doing over the next day or 2... remember we are counting down to a NEW YEAR and NEW BEGINNINGS....

New Year, New You!

Something I've been thinking about the last couple of days.....there are only 4 more days left in 2009 (which means baby #3 is going to be here WAAAYY too soon! I've started making up my lists of things that MUST get done before Thursday night (not just baby, but me, the house, the blog, everything), as well as goals for January 2010. I guess it's a blessing and a curse...

It’s a merry christmas for a happy winner!

So I remembered to do the drawing this AM (I think Addie was as excited to see the drawing bucket as she was her presents!) But please forgive the point & shoot camera! As a reminder I left my big camera at Grams and Gramps house last night and this camera isn't nearly as fast with Miss Addison... But here goes... What's this mom? Did Santa bring this too?? Uh-oh! ...

shot glass in a jar?

I've lived in some TINY places. At times I thought I COULD move to New York as I've found ways to make EVERYTHING fit and still have access to it. Funny thing is, some of the tricks I've learned over the years have become second nature and normal to me so they don't seem that unusual.
