New Determination

So I'm way behind....but that's nothing new!  I love blogging...it's fun for me to "try" to be creative and to try to keep family and friends up to date on our family.  We're not all that exciting, and sometimes I'm not sure what to post.  (I'm not one to brag!)  But, I've decided (once again) that I can do better with my blogging experience, without bragging.  I hope!  Who knows, maybe it'll just be a place for me to vent my frustrations and daily happenings...that's ok right!? 

With the starting of a New Year (holy cow it's already the middle of January) it's normal for people to look back and ponder their life.  What changes should be made, how can I better myself?  Well, for me..I have a lot I need to improve on (including getting rid of the stinkin "holiday weight"!)  Don't run faster than you can walk as we are admonished.  So, I'll take it a step at a time!  I think that what I need to work on most right now is patience....I can try at least!  For example, we're trying to potty train Lexi.  She is SO stinkin smart.  She sings songs, (with most all the words!) she knows what she wants, (and WHEN).  She knows that vegetables are healthy, so she refuses to eat them.  She KNOWS how to annoy her brother without fail; which buttons to push and when, etc.  (I could go on all day!) 
So, I decided it was time we try the potty thing (again).  She knows what's going on...she knows what's supposed to happen and where to go...so why does she refuse and think it's funny to go potty on the floor!  I don't get it!  Patience...I believe I'll have it one day!  (I hope it's not when my kids are all grown up and I have grandkids!)  Laugh if you must.....it's ok, really!  Laugher is the best medicine!
