Breakfast

I have been really wanting to buy a juicer but then I remembered about my awesome vita mix my mother-in-law have me. It works great! I freeze grapes and use them as ice and mix them with carrots, grapefruit, oranges and strawberries. I don't add sugar but I know if I did it would taste a little better, I just want pure fruit and vegetables. Since I started juicing I can tell a huge difference in my energy levels and I have also lost a little weight!

Bunk mates

We bought bunk beds. So far brady loves his top bunk, he lovess to read books up there. Connor doesn't like the new change, he just needs time to adjust to the bigger bed. I am loving the extra space the kids have to play. It doesn't seem as small as it did before.

Good looking little boys

I just love them to pieces, even when they wake up at two am screaming for an hour just because they think it's morning. Little stinks.

Hurt and Anger

I'm probably gong to regret posting this later but for right now I'm full of hurt and I need to get some things on my chest. I am just sitting here thinking to myself how happy I am that my family and I can participate in al-anon meetings. Right now I feel totally defeated and broken down. I didn't think things could get any worse and they have. I don't understand it and I'm extremely angry right now. I hate what addiction turns people into. I just need to keep focusing on my boys and try to get through this day by day (today minute by minute). This week I am actually looking forward to my 90 minute cry fest on tuesday nights. I just need to keep telling myself this great al-anon saying

Let go and let God

The serenity prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

My goals are to forgive the people that hurt me and let them go, as hard as that will be I need to find the strength to do it.

We have been having lots of fun lately. last weekend we went to the family fun center and the kids had so much fun! After all that we got a blast of snow. Joe has yet to go to school this week and tomorrow is thursday! We actually just found out that school is in fact canceled tomorrow, yay! I'm a fan of one day school weeks, more help with the kids and of course more naps for me. It's nice living close to my parents when we are snowed in because I would go crazy staying at our place all week. My mom and I got brave and went to get our nails done. I decided on sparkley pink. Yes I know 12 year olds pick that but I thought it was cute at the time!
