DAY 1

Ok...so I went to bed last night fully prepared to jump out of bed like a superhero and seize the day...I just didn't know the day would begin at 1:30 am..I woke up to what I thought was the sounds of my children....but as I went to check, it was actually the cry of something on my front porch.....a very small something...a furry something..I recruited the help of my big, strong, crabby at 1:30 A.M. husband...turns out it was a VERY small dog, some kind of chihauhua...FREEZING IN THE 10 DEGREE WEATHER!!!!It had cried so long it was almost hoarse.....we opened the door and it ran in the house...when we reached for it the 5 lb monstrosity bore its teeth at us...so picture this.. me in my husbands long sleeve Illini Tshirt, him in his boxers, chasing a stray 5 lb chihauhau around our house in the middle of the night!!!!!!!!We caught it...put it in  an old kennel and went back to bed...I chuckled at the thought of the sight of all this...and so all was well for about an hour or so....at around 3:30 it began to cry and scream uncontrollably loud, my husband in the 10 degree weather and in his boxers took it outside again...it ran to the front porch again, crying, howling and what not.....It was a LONG night!  So my "big" RUN did not turn out to be all that I had planned, I was tired! (everybody shout 39) On a brighter note...the birthday cake police came to my house today and threw away the remaining birthday cake....and my husband walked in with 4 pans of home made fudge from his mom!
Setting goals at Christmas time!  YAY!
SO TODAY I HAVE LEARNED:  Things do not always go as planned, but our goals do not change (I still want to be 40 and fabulous)!!We just have to keep pushing...and as far as the fudge goes...I am gonna try something new and crazy......MODERATION!!!!!!!!!!!
