I used to do New Year's resolutions when I was much younger but, I always seemed to fall short. I made a decision a long time ago that I would just try to be the best Me I could be. I make that resolution every morning as I go about my day. I still fall short but I try every day.
One of the things I have been trying, to be a better me, is the 100 days of real food. I got the new book for Christmas along with some new Instant Pot accessories. Along with the "real food" adventure I have added, very gingerly, yoga. Don't laugh, if my mother-in-law can do it, I think I can start a beginner session. I have only added a few poses to help with flexibility. I took ballet for 9+ years, rode horses from the time I could walk till I had Sprat, and I cheered through high school and college. I used to be flexible, it is a horrible feeling that I have problems getting in and out of the floor. ughhh !!! Getting old stinks, age sucks our brains out and takes away our flexibility and agility. Ok so it is not just age, it is our schedule and for me it is a neglect of taking care of myself. I guess maybe I did make a resolution of sorts, I am going to do better about taking care of me this year. You will have to stay tuned to see how this yoga business works out, I hope that I do not have to post from a hospital bed in traction or something.

Birthday Woes. . .
Celebrating another year this week. My hubby is out of town and my boys are oblivious. Ughhhh
This is one and probably the only time I wish I had a girl. I think girls are more in tuned with celebrating things like a Mom's birthday. That sort of thing is completely lost on boys or at least on my boys. They are too tied up with their sports and video games to care that Mom has a birthday. I think my husband texted Sprat to remind him it was my Birthday. My very sweet hubby did send me flowers though and he has not done that in a long time. Maybe boys realize the effect of birthdays on women once they get older. I guess there is still hope for my two scoundrels. We went out to eat last night; the boys, my niece, and myself to celebrate, that was very nice and I did enjoy it.
Big T asked me how old I was going to be and then he began trying to guess. He said, 30 years old? I said nope, I am 21 years old. This brought up a very funny memory of my Mom. I always believed what ever my Mom told me, why would my Mom tell me anything that was not true. I asked very innocently how old my Mom was and she told me she was 21, actually it may have been Dad that said she was 21. This was when I was in the third grade and obviously she was older than 21 since she was in fact in her 30's when I was born. That next week I went to school and something was said about my Mom and I told them she was 21 years old. My teachers all laughed and said that my Mom had done a lot in her 21 years. They all knew she was older than 21 but they did not say anything to me about it. They did, however, corner my Mom at the next PTA meeting and they all had a big laugh at silly me.
My hubby comes home today and I cannot wait to see him. This is one part of his work I did not miss when he got laid off. He does not travel much but you can count on at least 2 trips a year for national conferences. He usually misses a Birthday or an Anniversary here and there.

Plotting and Planning. . .
The hubbs will be turning 50 this year and I would love to throw him a surprise party. I threw him one when he turned 30 and it was a huge hit. I really did surprise him, he almost missed his own party because his friend that was supposed to bring him back to the house could not get him to come home. Ughhh! Men!
I told him I was having a Christmas Around the World Party and he even helped me clean up for it. That was my way of getting him out of the house. I think this year I would like to rent a place so we could invite more folks to come. There is a particular venue near us that I think would be really great for this type of thing. I am just not sure how I could get rid of him and then get him back where he needs to be. I have been thinking about this one for a while now and trying to figure all of this out in my head. Stay tuned there will be other posts on this one.
