Good Morning! Did you switch your clocks an hour ahead last night before you went to bed? Daylight Savings is tough when you lose an hour and even harder when you’ve not slept well. 🙁

But the day must go on whether I’m ready for it or not. Maybe I’ll be able to sneak in a little nap this afternoon.  Here’s to making the best of the day on little sleep!

The week ahead is looking pretty easy this week, not a lot of extra activity besides the usual kid stuff we do. I hope you enjoy your Sunday and get to relax and even take a nap if you want to. Lucky for me today I don’t have to do any cooking. My boys helped at a scout function last night and took home lots of yummy stuff. Sauce, meatballs, etc so they can munch on that and I will nap. 🙂

Happy Day to you!

Tomorrow I will be turning in pics and stats to begin on Tuesday with the March FitFluuential DietBet. I’ve been struggling with 5 pounds for a lonnnnnnggg time and think this will be great motivation to really be disciplined to get it off. 4 weeks to lose 4% body weight is very realistic and the fact the money pot is almost $5000 is not too shabby! You still have time to join in if you’d like some motivation as well and the group support that goes with it! You can read more about it here, Join SFM in the March DietBet!

My family and I made it through the Blizzard of 2013 without too much trouble. Lots of snow to clean (about 27 inches!) and sore backs and arms from shoveling not only our house but 6 elderly neighbors homes as well! My hubby was gone from 10 am until 4! Thank God sowing and reaping is really true so when we are old and can’t shovel anymore, someone will bless us abundantly!

I was worried about losing power so cooked up lots of chicken and veggies for quesadillas before the storm hit as well as turkey stuffing to use in tacos and peppers. I didn’t have to cook yesterday at all and we had plenty of left overs! AND we never lost power, Horrah!

This week is Valentines Day on Thursday!! We don’t go out to eat that night as it’s crazy expensive for a family of 5 and I’m not into ditching my kids to get a sitter so he and I can just go out, my kids would be so sad! My family really just loves Mexican food so I’m making chimichangas, although it’s not a romantic dinner with my hubby, we are all happy to enjoy being home together. 🙂
