Third time is a charm right?!

Well...this is my third blog.  The other two have failed completely!  So if I don't succeed at this one, well then I guess I wasn't made to blog I guess.  I will pretty much just share what is on my mind. 

Last night I was able to put up our Christmas tree and decorate it!  Was so nice to have some quiet time to myself.  Mike was at work and Cole was sleeping and so was the dog.  It was so nice to get it done and now to enjoy it for the next several weeks.  I just love this time of the year.  It puts me in such a great mood.  In the past years I have never thought about donating any toys or anything for the little ones.  This year I think I may pick up one and drop it off in a Toys for Tots box (gotta find one first).  But now having Cole I really do understand some stuff more.  And that is one of them.  I would be devestated if I was not able to get Cole even just one thing for Christmas.  We are fortunate and are able to get him a few things.  Plus I would like to start now and teach Cole the art of giving.  I know he won't understand at this age, but maybe now is the time to start a tradition and every year him and I pick out a toy and donate it.  Yup...just decided...that is what we are going to do. 

Well...I was going to head out to the gym this morning but went to Target and then came back home.  My car took a detour I guess to the house here.  I have had no motivation whatsoever this week to get to the YMCA.  I sure need to though.  I think it would put me in a better mood for one thing and make this holiday season a little less stressful.  They only have childcare until 2 pm.  So if I don't make it there I should head downstairs and do the 30 Day Shred.  Just remind myself..it's only 20 min...it's only 20 min. 

Ok better go and be productive somehow today.
