Yay!

Here we are almost a week into the new year, and so far everything is going great! Kari-Lynn is still in her toddler bed which is definitely great and I'm pretty sure she's gonna stay there! YAY! We found out this week that Daddy will be coming home to us hopefully soon! We still don't have a homecoming date, but it's coming!

I have started working on some new year's resolutions, and I have chosen the ever popular resolution to lose weight! Luckily I have a great group of people who are on this path with me, including the girls on my single moms message board and my new friend in my neighborhood. I have been keeping a food diary for over a week, and for the past three days I have been taking walks with my neighbor to help start an exercise regiment! Hopefully I stick with it this time! I have good faith that I will be able to!

Last night was a pretty funny night! Kari-Lynn comes running from her room into mine telling me that there is a MONSTER in her room! I took her into her room, flicked on the dim pink lamp and asked her if she saw any monsters in her room. She looked around and looked at me and told me no, but she still wasn't convinced! She asked me to call Daddy, so I complied, he also tried to convince her that there were absolutely NO monsters in her room. After about an hour of laying down on Mommy's bed and watching cartoons, Kari-Lynn was finally ready to go try sleeping in her room again. Needless to say, we're going to have to start adding a Monster hunt to the bedtime routine!
