I realized today just how much my life has changed since having children. It was wasn't really one of those ahhh haa moments. It was more like a "holy smokes" moment. I noticed today that I hadn't shaved my legs in nearly a month. I was lathering on the lotions and was horrified by my hairy legs. I looked at myself in the mirror and realized my eyebrows and upper lip could also use a good waxing.
I wouldn't be caught dead with hairy legs a decade ago.
I quickly get dress. The kids are getting restless. YUCK the smell of my body spray and my husband's body wash don't mix well. I didn't want to waste one of my precious ten minutes in the shower to jump out and get a new bottle of bodywash so I used my husband's. I walk into the living room with my wet hair wrapped up in a tight bun on the top of my head and I'm wearing a pair of comfy sweats.
I glance over to the kitchen table. My girls are wearing cute matching outfits and their hair is neatly combed into braids. My priority have completely changed since they came into my life and I'm okay with that.
I secretly vow to shave my legs before the hubby gets a glimpse. How did I get so lucky to experience being a mom.

Goals for the New Year 2012
It is the 5th day of the new year and I already feel like I am running behind. I am just getting over a really bad stomach bug and the kids have also been sick so we haven't had time to really look forward to this New Year. I am so excited to write about my goals. This is going to be a great year. Our son will be turning one in February. He has been such a tremendous blessing! My online endeavors are finally starting to pay off and our financial situation is looking much better. It is time to sit down and really think about what I want to accomplish in 2013
Business Goals:
1. Complete my bachelors degree in Business Management. I have been working on my four year degree for the past ten years. I only have three classes left so I can finally see the finish line.
2. Earn $1000.00 in a month with Squidoo payout and Amazon Affiliate sales combined. This is a very hefty goal but I am very optimistic. I earned $300.00 in the month of December 2012. It may take me the entire year to reach this goal but I am going to work my butt off to accomplish it.
3. Complete 100 quality lenses on Squidoo. I currently have 69 lenses. A few really need a makeover but I am confident I will reach this goal soon.
Personal Goals:
1. Teach the girls the alphabet. They will be starting preschool in the spring so I really need to be more focused with their education.
2. Organize and declutter the house. I am pretty sure this is my goal every year but I am tired of always being behind on the laundry and feeling like I am always cleaning house. We need a better system so I am really going to work hard on this one.
3. I am currently training for the Bataan Memorial Death March Marathon. I will be walking it with my mom in March. I would also like to train to run for a half marathon. I used to be a distance runner back in my Army days but I have really gotten out of shape since I had my children.
