So after spending the first day of 2014 feeling crummy and hanging out with my sick little girl... only a few days later I was hit with some weird stomach virus. Not cool immune system. The kicker... I barfed up a meal that I was LOOKING FORWARD to digesting for several days.
Sorry Mahogany... you're officially on my "do not consume" list for a while. Bummer huh? That food was AMAZING going down... not so much coming back up.
BUT... with two illnesses in less than a week... I feel like I've spent the better part of 2014 playing "catch up".
My dining room is covered in a Christmas explosion awaiting boxes and a trip to the attic, my office at work is filled with stacks, my office at home.. stacks.
I'm still praying about what my word, verse, and thought for 2014 are going to be.. stay tuned for more information about those in a future blog.
Deep breath-- I.Can.Do.This.

New Year... New Post
I've attempted to blog a million times and I always quit. This might also be the same... deal with it. :)
As I start out this year, I have so many things that I want to accomplish, and so many things from last year that I am trying to finish.. EEK!
On New Years Eve... I got sick. Terribly crummy awful sick. As a crazy type A person, this didn't go so well. My instant thoughts were... OK, but tomorrow I have to finish up my billing at work for the year, take down the Christmas tree, do 7 loads of laundry, sweep the back porch, build Anthony's birthday present.... The list went on and on and on.. until I finally drifted asleep.
Two hours later I was awoken by my sweet little baby: "Mommy, I have yuckies... " In my delirious NyQuil induced state-- I simply shrugged her off to my poor sleeping husband, and my immediate thought was "Great.. there goes tomorrow".
When I woke up, a little less delirious, I checked on my poor sweet baby and we both felt yucky together.
We spent the ENTIRE day cuddled up on the couch. During this lazy relaxing time I felt great. I know there were a million things I should have been doing.. or that needed to be done (thanks to my sweet husband some of them did get done), but God was revealing something to me. BE STILL, It's OK to not always have everything done.
I think that's going to be an ongoing trend with me in 2014. Finding the right balance between God, family, kids, work, friends, and self.
May 2014 be the best year yet!! :)
