long, hard week

Last week was a long, hard week. Hard to get up early, especially when I didn't sleep well or at all some nights. Hard to get back into the routine of work and school after Christmas Break. Hard to get back into the routine of chores. Hard to get a certain little person out of bed every morning.

But there were some bright spots in the week: trying my first Zumba class; spontaneous Friday night with friends; a super sweet and affectionate little man; and sticking to or making progress towards many of my 12 for 12 {2011} (update coming soon); a mostly positive progress report for Caden.

Hoping for an easier week coming up, starting with a yummy beef stew dinner that is smelling delicious in the crock pot right now and a prayer for the forecasted snow to skip over us.
