Back to the Real World...

...And I'm so ready for the real world to come back! I love having a long break from school, but I love having a schedule and routine for each day. I feel more productive, and it's easier for me to get things done! When we are on break I always say, "Oh, I'll do that later...I have a   few weeks left!" Then it usually never gets done. I have to have a schedule of some sort. So today is the day!

A few of my goals... 

1. Get Libby back on a schedule. I started this yesterday. I have always had a time that I want her to nap, go to bed, etc. But yesterday she followed that schedule perfectly. She napped from almost exactly 1-3. Then this is going to be a shocker! She went to bed at like 8:30, AND in her own bed!!!! AH, It felt so good to have her asleep at a descent hour. Of course,I had to lay down with her and read books, but that's ok! I really enjoy snuggling with my girl.

2. Work out 3X a week to Jillian Michael's. I started this back in the Fall, but it all feel through during break. I'm going to try so hard to keep this going! 

3. I have set certain days to do certain things. Like on Mondays I'll go to the grocery ,and Fridays are my "cleaning" day. Of course you have to clean everyday with a little one, but Fridays are like clean bathrooms, mop, dust, etc... This also went out the door while on break.

Ok, Don't think I'm crazy for writing all my new goals down. I thought that maybe if I write them out for the world to see then it might put some pressure on me to keep it up! :)

On a different note, We had a great last few days of our break this weekend. We went to the lake to watch the National Championship game. I was saying "ROLLLL TIIIDE" and Nolen was saying "Hook em'"!! 

Friday, we had a fun play date with Tucker at his house. Libby and Tucker played so well together! Friday night we hung at home just the 3 of us! We built a fire too! I love real fires. My parents always had a fire going during the winter!

Saturday Libby and I went to her friend Avery's birthday party. She had a BLAST!! It was at Premier Athletics (a tumbling and cheerleading gym). She loved jumping on the trampoline, hoola-hooping (spelling?), and just running around. I think I might sign her up for 3 year old gymnastics next year since she enjoyed it so much. Here are some pictures from the party.

                                                   She told me to take this picture of her.
                                     

                                    

                                                  She didn't want to get out!

Sunday we went to church and Sunday school, then came home and didn't do much. I kind of prepared myself for school... did some laundry. Ya know, the normal Sunday afternoon stuff.

I'm not looking forward to walking in the FREEZING cold to class, AND fighting for a parking spot. But I guess I don't have a choice!
