Finally here

Hello! It's 10:04pm on a Saturday and I can say that I accomplished all the essentials on this one day, and here I am! And now I'm too tired to write anything but hello...and silly me for thinking that I would use the month of January to send out all sorts of wonderful simplifying posts AND focus on accomplishing the main things. Who'd have thought those few things would be so consuming! I guess that's the very reason I needed to refocus.

Anyway, highlights of the week include:

• finally feeling better and shaking off The Cold after four weeks- a huge answer to prayer
• giving said cold to my husband and son... husband stayed home from work Monday-Wednesday
• Little T gashing his head on the adorable bread box I was using in his reading corner; he needed stitches but since it was hidden in his eyebrow and he's a boy, a butterfly bandage did the trick
• consistently getting 4-6 eggs a day (yes, that's a highlight! I've only purchased 2 dozen eggs in the last four weeks)
• trying aerobic exercise for the first time in about 4 months...and found out my body isn't quite ready for that (but I'm ready to get back in shape)
• purchasing One Thousand Gifts...so excited for that to come on Monday
• seeing our phonics lessons pay off with the older two- both are reading and it won't be long before they will be reading to Little T! 
• Feeling well enough to start caring about my appearance...a good sign that I'm healing! :)

I'm off to bed...my father-in-law let me borrow his Kindle to read a book on thyroid disfunction (lucky me!) and I need to finish it before tomorrow (it is actually quite interesting). Oh, I do heart the Kindle.
