We just got home today after a very long very fun trip to fresno and tracy and its great to be back in our own element for a bit.  IT's Not great to unpack our very full mini van all by myself but I tapped into my ninja skills and got it done and a load in the wash already.  Well unpacking should be described in tiers.  I have it unloaded but not put away haha  So i was feeling a bit overwhelmed today with my 3 year old who thinks she's 17 and my boys who like to go in different directions, missing my hubbs and a To-do list a mile long and i remembered a quote i read yesterday.  "when i start to feel sad, I stop being sad and start being awesome instead!"  So I am choosing to be awesome.  There is ALOT that we cannot control in life but I can control my attitude so I'm choosing to feel awesome instead.  Now I may have to remind myself of this a bit but it's a good start and sitting on my couch eating frosted gingerbread men is only making it better right now.  At 5:00 am when i predict Jake to wake up, i will not be feeling awesome but we'll cross that bridge when it comes haha

Giles is still in oregon and wasn't here to tell me to be classy so I decorated the playroom and mantle with colored lights :0  Personally, they are my alltime favorite and they make me happy so Merry Christmas season!
