TGIF

Seriously... what a week! Going back to work after a 2 week break is not easy.

My reading goal of 50 books is actually much more difficult than I imagined. It is pretty much reading a little over 1 book per week. This simply means I have to finish The Kite Runner in 2 days. I'll be pretty surprised if I can accomplish this. I am the typical goal setter and quitter LOL.

Lucas and both girls got sick last weekend. I ended up having to take Lucas to an emergency clinic because his boogies were all over the place and extra green. He also kept getting fevers and was snoring like an old man. He was having a hard time breathing. Monday he had his 2 year old check up with his doctor. He wore one of his many Batman shirts, brought Batman and Iron man along, and did not want to wear shoes. He wore slippers instead because the Avengers are on them. The nurse quickly said she had the perfect room for us. He was super happy as you can tell by the picture below. They have decided to do a sleep study on him because of his snoring. I am a bit scared. He seems to always have respiratory issues. I have to schedule the appointment next.

Fingers crossed.& Prayers

2016

A little late. Like always.

2016 is here and well resolutions have never worked out for me. However, life is usually exciting because we always have things to look forward to. This year I hope to read 20 books, travel at least once, and talk as nicely as I can about others.

For me, it is not easy to be nice. I am an extremely judgemental person. First impressions are everything, and so are second, thirds and so on... Over the years I believe becoming a mom has changed that a bit. I try not to judge others and I try to be forgiving. It was a huge change for me towards the end of 2015 but it made my heart soft and mushy and honestly... it made me happier. So, this year I will talk as nicely as I can about others.

I also loveeeeeeee literature. It has been so hard to read anything since I had my first child. Now that they are a bit older and play together, I think it is time to step away from Netflix for a bit and indulge in a good book. It's good for the soul. I started reading The Kite Runner only because Khaled Hosseini wrote my favorite book - A Thousand Splendid Suns. The Kite Runner is pretty good so far.

I also want to travel, even if it is inside the United States. Last year, I had to choose between a vacation for 5 (which was extremely tempting) or a house for 5, and well, being the responsible adult that I am, I ended up choosing the latter. By the way I love our home =]

Here are some pictures from New Year's at our house.
