putting christmas away

usually i'm excited to put christmas stuff away so i can redecorate. not this year. i wanted christmas to last through january. why cant it? january kinda sucks anyway. good thing it's my birth month, otherwise it would have no redeeming qualities. january is the coldest month of the year. i'm sick of being cold. i'm enjoying sitting by the fire, especially when the husby makes it. he's really manly and makes amazing fires. i think that fires are kinda like sandwiches. they are SO much better when someone else makes them for you.

i took some pictures while i was cleaning up christmas stuff, cuz ya know.... i was bored.... not really. actually this really old christmas ornament told me to take it's pictures. isn't it pretty?

resolutioning

i have been procrastinating. i cant seem to finalize new years resolutions this year. i enjoyed them so much last year but this year....... i'm feeling unmotivated, uncreative and stuck.
i have decided to just focus on a couple small meaningful things this year.

#1  let house chores go and have fun with my kids.
this year i'm going to let the dishes sit in the sink so i can read to zula or play with effi. its easy to let house chores or my to-do list rule my day. i want to be better at putting my kids first.

#2  be better at trivia games.
the husby and i are a disgrace when it comes to trivia games. even as a team we hang our heads at how much useless knowledge we don't know. see we dont even HAVE trivia games.

#3  get up before the kids, sit in this chair and do nothing.

#4  save time and energy for my husby.

what are your new years resolutions?
