Those pesky resolutions

As December hits we think about cooking and baking and parties and gifts and lights.
But in the back lies those resolutions or goals we are trying to shove to the back burner until January first.
That's how it usually is for me.
Except this year.
All month I've been thinking about them.
How to make realistic resolutions.
And instead of waiting around till after Christmas day or waiting until the first I'm sharing mine now. 

**To start --- which tends to be one of everyone's resolutions.
Lose weight.
But seriously.
Addie is 18 months old. There is no reason for this.
So the goal is to lose at least 50 pounds in 2013. 
I've done it before I CAN do it again!
Thankfully I will never be pregnant again.

**Blog - I'm not sure where I want my blog to be going except for I want to be more real, more raw, more honest, and make more of HIM. There will be a lot of talk about God, grace, family, love, foster care, possible adoption talk, forgiveness.

**Mommy world - Less social media when the kids are home. More cuddles. I would love to say to stop using it all together, but if you know me it's just not going to happen {remember being realistic}

**Wifey Land- Less frumpy. Oh gosh I am that mom. That mom that EVERY.DAY. is in sweats and some ugly shirt with my hair in a messy bun. For that I started following These beautiful ladies to help!!

**Facebook/IG/Twitter - No negativity. Yes we all have bad days. And this is what I'm talking about:

Not acceptable: I cannot stand how she talks to me
Acceptable: I am having a rough day in mommyworld 

** Spiritually - I want to study Revelations. Not because I am freaking out about the world ending but I have never studied it because of fear. I have had it heavy on my heart to actually study Revelations and to be knowledgeable about it. So if anyone knows of any books that would help let me know!



Do you make New Years resolutions? Goals?
What are you planning for 2013?

  2. I felt the same as you about Revelations .. I just started reading it. I now understand a lot more of the prophecies. The unknown is a little "scary"... and I cant help my wondering mind, but I think that's normal... but by reading it has answered a lot of my questions and I just pray for peace of mind on things like that, that are under his control!

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
