TGIF

HaPPy fRiDaY everyone!! This has been a rough week at the Thibault house, Hadley has been having some rough nights. Not sure if she's going through a growth spurt (she chug-a-lugs all night long!) or if she's teething, or what. But I always think she's teething! But technically the pretty much teeth until they're 3, becuase Gracen still doesn't have all of hers!

So tonight I am trying my "meal made from scratch" since it's Friday and we can't eat meat (lent). I'm attempting spinach and cheese stuffed shells. We'll see how it goes. I don't know if it's technically "made from scratch" but for me it definitely is! So hopefully my attempt in the kitchen will help me scratch off one thing on my list for March a week early. I am awesome like that afterall.

In addition to that list, I have added one more thing. And that is to slow down and enjoy March. I just realized we are booked every weekend in April, and pretty much every weekend after that until October! Yay for wedding season: showers, bach/bachelorette parties, rehearsals, fittings, and of course the weddings! But I have a feeling I'm going to feel burnt out, so March is my recharge month. And hopefully full of R&R to get me through to Oct.

My List... Sort of

So I'm sort of obsessed with blogging... again. I know I took a small hiatus, but sometimes that happens when you're a stay at home Mom with no internet. Now that I'm back in the working world and have a brand new laptop at home, I'm embracing the blogging world. It's way more interesting than FB because not only do you get to see pictures, but stories with lots of details. To make a long story short, I saw on someones blog their list of 101 things to do in 1,001 days. Well, I couldn't come up with 101 things (the pressure got to me!) so I decided I'm going to set short term goals that are easier to manage. I'm going to have a list of 5 things a month I want to accomplish, 10 things for the year that I'd like to accomplish, and 5 things to accomplish in the next 5 years.

So here's my list of 5 things to accomplish for March:

1. Create a budget for the month
2. Cook a meal from scratch 3/5/2010
3. Start the Yoga class at my gym
4. Clean out my closet and donate to goodwill... again
5. Get my quarterly bonus (if I cause any negative monies I don't get it!!)

10 things to accomplish in 2010:

1. Finish the basement
2. Get up to date on Gracen's scrapbook
3. Start Hadley's scrapbook
4. Go on a date with my husband (that's not for a special occassion)
5. Race for the Cure (and actally race this time, not sleep-in for the cure)
6. Participate in MOW (Meals on Wheels)
7. Plant a garden
8. Paint the kitchen
9. Put on a swimsuit
10. Write a Christmas newsletter (and send it out)

5 things to accomplish in the next 5 years:

1. Aquire a treadmill
2. Get Lasik
3. Visit my sister Jaime in TX
4. Convince Stephanie to have at least one baby so my girls have some cousins close in age!!!!
5. Move to KC!!!!!!


That doesn't seem like much, but to a full time working Mom of 2 girls under the age of 2 that's a lot!! Considering all the activities going on this year, it's going to fly by!!!
