Randomness

I think I may be having what folks call the post.holiday blues.

Anyone feel me?

All the excitement of the holidays die down, the kids go back to school and here I am alone again with just my Ava and a massive pile of never.ending laundry.
Sigh.

Isabella is so overwhelmed right now. She has a Royal Conservatory exam in a couple of weeks followed by her first set of high school exams; two of which are on the same day.
I am constantly in awe of her dedication. She works so hard. 
Love that girl.

We have started off the year trying to eat healthier. {us and everyone else it seems} It's tough.
In my opinion, just about everything that tastes really good is bad for you. Why is that? And how can we change it?

In other news, I've started walking. I don't really like it if I'm being totally honest. 
Mind you, I did meet a friend for a walk the other day and that walk ended at Starbucks. That was kind of fun.
But it sort of defeated the entire purpose of walking.
I had a non-fat latte in case you were wondering.

I'm contemplating putting Ava into some kind of a preschool program a few mornings a week. The thought of it makes me ill. For some reason, she is so much harder for me to let go than the others were. Maybe it's because she is my last? That or I think I may just forget how hard it was! I'm feeling like she could really use the interaction with other kids even though when I ask her if she wants to go to school or stay home with me, she says "stay home with mama".
cutest.thing.ever

And guess who finally gets to kick his twin bed to the curb? Our boy. We are just in the process of getting his "big boy" room ready. Fresh paint, new furniture. He is beyond excited.
I'm just hoping this means he will actually sleep in his room.

Never a dull moment 'round these parts. 
Happy Tuesday.
