Ummm . . . . .

I woke up this morning and said to myself, "I need to write another blog". But then I realized that I really don't have much to write about. Life has been happening just like life usually does and nothing out of the ordinary has happened - except for the Seahawks (after a losing regular season) win a playoff game against the reigning Superbowl champs. Crazy huh? and exciting. And we are looking forward to cheering them on against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

I feel like I have a bit of the winter blues right now. I have spent my days off at home with my kids, an occasional routine trip to the grocery store has not brought any bright sparks to our day and the fact that I can spend an entire day at home and not have much to say for it when the day is done is not very comforting. You know, dishes still in the sink, clothes on the floor, things undone and me just sitting on the couch watching cartoons with my kids or groaning over the fact that due to this new diet I'm on - I'm literally starving and yes that does occupy my mind every single minute. I have little energy and cleaning the house seems like an enormous job that I just don't want to tackle, especially with a growling stomach and no hope to put any food into it until noon. I have seriously thought that it would be a wonderful thing to just sleep the day away. When you are asleep you don't realize that you are hungry.

As far as my monthly goals go I'm trucking away at a few of them. Books are being read, pounds are being lost, money is being saved (especially if I just stay at home :), I'm planning on trying my new recipes this weekend, we are trying to find a time to schedule our hardwood floor to be installed and I know the craft that I'm going to do but haven't been motivated to start on it yet. Maybe today!!

I hope I can get out of this "funk" soon and get some energy back. I'm looking forward to putting January behind me and am praying that it will go super duper fast! And that my monthly goals will be met - here's hoping!
