I forced myself on the treadmill by saying just get it done. I can do this. But really I mostly did 4.5 which is a fast walk for me. I did run at 7 for two whole minutes, and jogged at 5 for 5 minutes but really I walked on the treadmill. The the phone rang and I swear I almost praised god for sending me a diversion

off topic

Facebook is evil, well sometimes. A friend of mine has a baby and I posted a light comment that she was doing great and someone I don't even know jumped down my throat because she had more right to ask questions and get answered. Well women if you can't keep from telling someone else how to raise their children you are wrong! You need to be encouraging to new mothers and old mothers and all mothers in between. As mothers we are doing what we think is best for our own children. If you think you know better then another parent, then you are not paying enough attention to your children. If someone asks for your advice on a subject then please feel free to answer but if you are demanding a new breastfeeding mother to tell you why she is doing what she is doing on an otherwise sweet post you are wrong. WRONG. Delete your mean post and move on with your life. Also don't attack people you do not know for being encouraging. Get a life.

As for me normally I don't like to be confronting but this is my biggest pet peeve about women in general. So if your offended by being told to be nice then I don't care. Just be kind to one another, as mothers, as sisters we are all worrying to much about our children and if we are raising them right we do not need added pressure.

Anyway off my soap box my children are calling me. Look at the wasted energy I spent on telling some of you to be nice. I know my two followers are nice so it doesn't apply to you.

Be Happy and Nice today.

Week 1 of goals

Family goals

1. No credit use- So far we are doing fine but there are two whole weeks between now and payday. I think we can make it on what we have.



2. To pay off 5 of 6 bills- We made a big payment to the smallest bill so That should be paid off on the first of Feb. I guess I should post our total starting debt.... 17928.60 after January's payments we will be down to 17253.72. So far we are on track to be debt free.



3. Vegetable garden that we actually get to use for whole meals over just fresh snacks in the yard. Rob planted the peas, broccoli, lettuces this weekend.



4. Potty training James, We bought him a potty training book which he seems to like. He is sitting on his potty chair while watching Mickey Mouse cartoons.



5. Damian reading chapter books, We started him on the magic tree house books and told him he could have a new one every time he finished one. So now it is just getting him to sit and read. The First book is Mummy's in the morning.



My goals

1. Get Fit with good friends- Today is my start day

2. To be able to run 6 miles in 1hour right now I can finish 3miles in 35 minutes and that is being nice.

3.Be a better mother- Made waffles for breakfast instead of letting the kids eat cereal.

4.Be a better house keeper- More to follow...
