well, I just realized that-yes, indeed, it is 2008 and I had some resolutions and goals in mind and so far I am not doing well. First, I am behind in journaling, second-I haven’t even thought twice about Spanish classes. I am focusing all my efforts on my BUDGET. I actually am excited about organizing and living by a budget. I quickly have fallen back to old habits!

I have a house full of sick people. I am trying to stay healthy by drinking Airborne 3 times per day AND drinking water and water and more water. I hope it helps! Zane sounds terrible-congested and barking like a seal. He had a shot yesterday to help him get passed this. Zoe sounds terrible in a different way–an annoying dry, non-progressive cough–it might be allergies for her. Then there is Tim… I think he is getting a little of everything in the air. ARGH!

Good news… I think we (our family) is finally heading toward health and happiness! Tim had his stint removed today and I was able to swim 1 mile today (slowly-but I did it!). I have a new appreciation for the little “dailies” but I still worry too much after what happened to us in December. I would love to put it all behind us but it just reminds me of how anything can happen at any time!

I am so grateful for exercise! I want to feel strong, I want to increase range of motion. I am grateful for a hillarious friend-Minda, isn’t it always good to find humor?! Today, I was especially grateful for my delicious lunch-SUSHI. I am so grateful for Tim’s great job and the great people he works with. Microsoft is a good company. Most of all, I am grateful for Tim’s undying dedication to his work, his peers, his reputation and his team. He is so good at what he does and he loves it! Not everyone can say that they love their job. He is so honest and reliable… always has so much integrity-wants to do what is right!

On to bed now, it is late. I should have made a resolution to include going to bed by 10:30pm every night!
