My Motivation

In thinking about my last post, I realized I asked for support, but provided no means of motivation other than you all typing encouragingly and/or furiously at me. Why do I want to get healthy, pay off bills and find a house to rent or buy? Because of him:

I want Griffin to have a healthy family. I want to give Griffin a family who is not living paycheck to paycheck. I want to give Griffin a family who has plenty of room to live, play and grow. And....I want to give Griffin a sibling.

Things I Need To Do

I'm listing this out here in hopes that you, my bloggy friends, will hold me to it.

1. Get Healthy.
2. Pay Off Bills.
3. Find A House To Rent or Buy

Simple, right? Ok. Now let's break that down a little more.

1. Get Healthy:

• Exercise regularly
• Stop eating junk
• Ultimately, lose 60 pounds

2. Pay Off Bills:

• Make more money
• Use more money made to pay extra on bills

3. Find a House to Rent or Buy:

• Pay off bills
• If Renting, save enough to cover 6 months of rent, daycare, and basic necessities ($21,000)
• If Buying, save at least $50,000

Still sounds simple, doesn't it? Hmmm. If it sounds so simple, why is it so damn hard to accomplish?!?!?! Screw it. Pass the birthday cake....

Happiest of Happies!

Happy Birthday to my darling, handsome, wonderful, gorgeous-eyed, smart, snuggly, fantastic, awesome, funny, terrific, goofy baby boy!

Hard to imagine that a year ago my water broke, my placenta abrupted, my epidrual failed, anesthesia knocked me out and I woke up three hours later with the most perfect gift.

Happy 0th Birthday to me!

4 months!

This is how I roll...with a pillow.

It's my birthday!!! I'm ONE today!
