My Negative January Post

I know I have no right to complain, with the awful horribleness that some people are living through, but bare with me as I get this negative January post out of the way!!

Every year I really do get excited for a fresh start. I get excited to get organized, clean out the Christmas clutter and spend time with the kids. However, a couple days into January and the excitement wears off.

The diet I've been working hard on turns into 2 pounds of weight gain.

The crazy amount of running I've been doing turns into an aching hip.

The deep cleaning I've been doing results bored and whining children.

My attempts at a meal plan turns into 3 failed attempts at dinner.

My quality time with the children turns into constant refereeing.

And having the kids home every day turns into never ending MESS!!

There you have it...my "I hate January" post. Bring on February!

One of the MESSY rooms!!

I absolutely love it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one because you are not the only one who feels like this!

As you know, I feel the same way! January sets us up for a big disappointment :) It's a good thing the year gets better once we pass the first couple of months!!

You think that's bad? You should see OUR kids toy room! Haha! Nah, I totally know how you feel. I never tell anyone my new year's resolutions because they fail in less than a week every time!

Okay, was it cyclone Tyson or Kya?
Actually that looks like our "play room" after our "grandchildren" leave, but it usally only takes a few minutes to clean up;0) All I hope for in January is that it does't snow!!
