Monday’s are hard enough. Monday’s after a LONG weekend is exhausting. No good. At least I’m busy and the days go fast! Christian has a long month or so ahead of him at work with the holiday’s in full swing. He’ll definitely be getting an hour or two of OT every day, along with working every Saturday. He’s going to be tired for sure!

My mother-in-law had to work today (really this time), so the girls went to my mom’s house for the day. They were pretty excited about that switch up. And, my mom took them to buy new tennis shoes (part of their Christmas present), so they were REALLY excited about that. Those girls LOVE shoes. They definitely don’t get that from me.

I did get in some Cyber Monday of course. I ordered our Christmas cards for SUPER cheap – I got 60 of them for $25.00 with all of the coupon’s and deals. I also ordered the “year in review” Photo Books we give our parents for Christmas every year, and got them for about 60% off in the end. AWESOME! Finally, I ordered the girls these really cute scarfs from one of those deal sites to go in their stockings. They are going to LOVE them.

I picked up the girls after work and we made our way home. They actually played really good together all night, which was great. We ate some random leftovers for dinner and hung out once Christian was home. Just a fairly quiet night at home, which is always a good thing.

After I put Amelia down, I FINALLY started working out again. I’m doing another round of 30 Day Shred. It’s a quick, really good workout, so it’s a good fit for me. It’s amazing how quickly your body can get out of shape – I seriously felt like I was starting at square one, and will definitely be in pain tomorrow. It feels good to be getting back to it though. I started logging on myfitnesspal again today, getting my water and getting back on track there too. I’m going to keep up my workouts and watching what I eat – BUT, I’m really just hoping to maintain through the holiday’s. If I can lose, GREAT, but I don’t want to be stressed out about it and I want to enjoy the few holiday celebrations we’ll have, so I’m trying to have a positive attitude about it. January, I’m back at it 100% though! I have goals in mind, and I WILL reach them.

Rico, Tigger and I cuddled up for a while tonight...how fun!
